I have been following this car, or should I say, the concept of this car since the Gotlieb's were chewing up, and spitting out the competition in the Nevada banzai runs in the late 1970's, early 80's. The 69 Camaro has always been the one car I would love more than any other, to own. The closest I ever came was a 1970 Firebird.
It's obvious that no one in this thread know this car!!! Been kicking exotic ass for decades!!! You all should do the research and you'll see!!! Keep Rocking!!!
Really nice sounding Camaro, not a easy car to mussle around those tight turns either. Looked great from inside too gives you a better idea of the speed, it’s defiately no slow poke.
I don't even want to bother to read what they're saying, I've built and raced cars my entire life and I'd sell my soul to get behind the wheel of Big Red.
Before people go saying musclecars weigh too much blah blah, even in its stock form the 67-68 Camaro z28 only weighed a little more than 3000 lb, let along the weight cut from this thing.
Full sending never lifting 😏🤙mobbin deep 🙌 if this is unlimited class I'd have a radio play music like stairship we built this city love the vibes bro 🙌
RJ and the Big Red Camaro. If I could own one competition car this what it would be. This car can do it all. Flat out in Nevada, Standing Mile, Road Coarse, Hill Climb and Bonneville. I don’t know all the numbers, but I believe this has posted speeds of 254 mph. Notice it still has chrome bumpers and rain gutters as designed. If your interested theirs a good inside look at this car on Hooligan You Tube channel. Long live Big Red. 🇺🇸
Love to see what the time was and speeds in cove and ragged. Looks like rough is rougher paved than when we raced on it in the dirt. Smooth. Pays to know the road.
They say you cant bring a muscle car for hill climbs. Well this guy still do it and smash it. Damn that car is stable! Other than the heavy steering due to lack of power steering. The car handles the road pretty good.
People always ask me why i gutted, backhalfed, engine/tranny swapped, canted 4-linked, mini tubbed, etc etc...why dont you just buy a new car man? Because its a fucking 69 camaro that drives like a super car...
Full sending never lifting 😏 🤙 mobbin deep 🙌 ty for the therapeutic video 🙌 I'd just put a stereo system to listen to music while driving up the mountain. Wait can we have a stereo if running unlimited class bro 🤔
Took my 2015 Sonata 4 cylinder with 4 adults up the same road to the top...91 degrees at the bottom and sleeting and 38 at the top. Going back down with a full car and a small engine for braking was not great and we had to stop a few times due to hot rotors.
This car rocks! I am FAR more interested in cars that can be driven on the street and get to the Peak slower, vs "hyper" or "super" cars that do nothing but race and get there faster.
I, like Ken Barr, have been following Big Red since the '80's. Go git your prancin' horse, boy -he's gonna need to eat magic oats to touch this American Hot Rod!!!
I'm amazed at the number of idiots in this comment section who have no clue as to the greatness of this car!!! This car is the dream of so many gear heads across this country!!! People this is "Pro Touring Number 1". This car is a legion!!! Keep Rocking!!!
A really fine car, awesome engine, but man that's was slow as hell compered to the other cars. I really doubt if this car can produce enough downforce to race it again, in a serious way. That run was more of a show-off. The pilot was very careful on the throttle all the time (props to him because he didn't let the rear end fly away not even by a second). With an better body kit, i think it would perform way better.
props to the driver, altho i think you could have gone faster...you let off the gas to soon, and dont down shift enough, keep the rpm high into the corners, drop that extra gear, and hammer down once 3/4 through...loss of RPM is loss of seconds ;) joking aside, mad skills. where is this and how do i get there?
When driving a race car up the side of a mountain, I very highly value being able to CONCENTRATE. Vehicles that have a video player DON'T HAVE IT IN THE FRONT SEATS! Yet there are BUTTINSKIVERTS REDUNDANTLY in this video. That ruined it for me, I couldn't watch till the end. Jeeeeesse, really??
Rocker Pat Do these guys realise that these dudes have been pounding on that car for somewhere in the neighbourhood of thirty years in almost every form of racing? I’m sure they know how to set it up for pikes peak. The car has also hit 260 mph with a different engine. One of if not the best Camaro ever. Virtually started the pro-touring movement
Here is Big Red Camaro in all its 720p HD glory at Pikes Peak 2017. Enjoy ;)

No kiddin man me too, I've been a camaro guy all my life but this car has been the one I go to bed with in my head
This car is beyond legendary and proved muscle cars can keep up with euros and jdms if handled properly.
But in a touge race against you, he will lose anyways. Right?
Nothing sounds better than a heavy breathing naturally aspirated beast ❤🔥
Strap me to the roof. Take me for a ride. Love Big Red.
Glad to see that beautiful beast gets to shred here in Colorado!!!! Love how that car sounds!!!!
An amazing ride! Saw it years ago when it was in Laughlin, Nevada. Looks much nicer these days. What a car. Nothing like the sound of a big block V8.
perfectly tuned and aligned! masterpiece of engineering.
ended up leaning into the corners in my chair, intense ride
😂🤣
did it go up the mountain, or did it simply grind the whole mountain down flat with its massive power.... awesome !
bowtie badassery at it's finest
I could watch this all day!
Awesome footage of an awesome machine and driver
Hey look, a muscle car that does something other than go in a straight line! Impressive. No in app seriousness this is quite a different car! love it
Must be black magic:)
Yeah
I was just about to make the same comment!
look up hotchkis suspension
It's obvious that no one in this thread know this car!!! Been kicking exotic ass for decades!!! You all should do the research and you'll see!!! Keep Rocking!!!
When I first saw this car, I didn`t imagine it racing at Pikes Peak lol, kudos to the team ;)
This is the definition of a true STOCK CAR!!! The old Nascar boys are smiling down on Big Red
Well said 👍
Really nice sounding Camaro, not a easy car to mussle around those tight turns either. Looked great from inside too gives you a better idea of the speed, it’s defiately no slow poke.
This car is "Pro Touring 1".
BRASA ! A parte que ele acelera perto das nuvens é épica! Salve manos & minas! 2022
That is one badass '69 Chevy, Go Big Red!
Just have to love all the responces from keyboard experts.
Dude that's what I was thinking!!! And none of them even know the rich racing history of this car. What a shame!!!
I don't even want to bother to read what they're saying, I've built and raced cars my entire life and I'd sell my soul to get behind the wheel of Big Red.
I play this car on Gran Tourismo and some how drive it better than other cars.
What a beast, love it!
Before people go saying musclecars weigh too much blah blah, even in its stock form the 67-68 Camaro z28 only weighed a little more than 3000 lb, let along the weight cut from this thing.
My 69 RS weighs in around 2700 after a back half and some waste removal
We have seen cars that weigh under 500 kilo's
Muscle cars are heavy as hell Pony cars on the other hand are small and light compare to cars like Novas or torinos o chargers...
Who cares about how heavy your car is when your wins?
This course suits the cars with its steep straights, this car is FAST on this road
The sound of the rear end is awesome
One badass Chevy

WONDERFULL ENGINE.
That car must have a custom seat to accommodate RJ's giant nuts.
🤣😂
Nice run for the Big Red.
what a sound...
Gotta Love Chevrolet Horsepower ,,,,,
The only thing that would make this better is a telemetry shot along for the ride.......amazing!
Gran Turismo !
Dat sound!
Greatest Camaro in the world
It’s amazing the versatility of this Camaro. What a truly awesome car. Love 69 camaros. Is RJ driving or does anyone know?
Elle est magnifique !!!
Mi auto favorito! El camaro!
Awesome car
Love to see what the time was and speeds in cove and ragged. Looks like rough is rougher paved than when we raced on it in the dirt. Smooth. Pays to know the road.
I wanna see this at Bathurst!
I love big red, makes me want to ride along with the driver to feel that power !
Big red and pikes peak magic. Would be wicked to see red at mount panorama Bathurst 🤘😎
What time do you think it would do? I think a sub 2:10 could be possible.
God tosee some American muscle running the hill!

PREDEX2000 Yeah, it's been radically modified.
Liquid Swordz Gotta agree on that one, an old Camaro that can do something else other than straight line racing IS SOMETHING ELSE.
This car does everything. Drag racing, Bonneville Salt Flats, Texas mile, Silver State Classic.
Full sending never lifting 😏 🤙 mobbin deep 🙌 ty for the therapeutic video 🙌 I'd just put a stereo system to listen to music while driving up the mountain. Wait can we have a stereo if running unlimited class bro 🤔
The best muscle car
Bravo!
That car is absolute fucking Beast😍 Camaros FOREVER thats obviously a nascar motor in it🤔
CHEVY’S RUUULE!!!
Impresionante cómo viaja ese Chivo
Plot twist
Nobody: hold my beer
Camaro. Ok
Chuck Norris.
Very nice video! Keep it up.
Took my 2015 Sonata 4 cylinder with 4 adults up the same road to the top...91 degrees at the bottom and sleeting and 38 at the top. Going back down with a full car and a small engine for braking was not great and we had to stop a few times due to hot rotors.
Sounds like the m22 muncie.. shittin and gittin!!!
This car rocks! I am FAR more interested in cars that can be driven on the street and get to the Peak slower, vs "hyper" or "super" cars that do nothing but race and get there faster.
SHIT my brother and I did that on our Harleys last year,looking forward to doing it again😎
The best 42 cuda black driver jess neal
Did you guys see the cameo of Big Red in the CHIP's movie?...
All the TORQUE! EAT BIG RED! EEEAAAAATTTT!!!!
I cant believe these roads without a guard rail and it scares the shit out of me, lol
I want this motor so badly cause I'd try to find a obs wt1500 long bed and make a vintage nascar inspired hotrod out of it
Like RJ said , He could of keep chopping away at it!
I, like Ken Barr, have been following Big Red since the '80's. Go git your prancin' horse, boy -he's gonna need to eat magic oats to touch this American Hot Rod!!!
Best sounding engines..
01, Ferrari
02,lambo
03, Porsche boxer
4,good ol American muscle
This car can also be found in GT7
Where can I find the story of this car?
bigredcamaro.com/
It is probably the most famous Camaro on the planet..It is well documented.Just look up "Big Red Camaro".
Category: Music
Cool, but could he do it on a cold night in Stoke?
*smoke
This thing can be much more faster with AWD,Americans pls do AWD Muscle car and add some aero parts too:)
awd? get the fuck out of here
Why?..oh wait,winter coming:)

talk about death wishes.... whewwwwwwww
Hold on to your britches
i prefer FM, LFS and AC over GT
Oscar Thorpe i like them all
1000hp NA? how? thats nuts
they make ones that are 2000 n/a, its just very very big
Kaosmo 1000bhp at sea level. As he climb the peak the air get thinner and the engine will slowly lose power
how? *cubic inches* that's how! 555 of them in this case
The race doesn't start at sea level. Actually it'd be interesting to know where he had that power figure measured.
www.streetmusclemag.com/features/the-big-red-camaro-takes-on-pikes-peak/
Nice car...but I only say Audi Quattro 🤣 Rrrrrrrr...chuchuchuchu
11 minutes with 1000hp....it's a joke ?!
Bad Steering ratio
Notification squaaad
No one cares
Love this car, such respect, thanks for sharing.
Definitely needs a different ratio steering box and a different steering wheel.looks like your driving a Kenworth.
It's manual steering, no power for less weight, if he changed the ratio so lock to lock was less turns, it'd be a lot harder to turn.
props to the driver, altho i think you could have gone faster...you let off the gas to soon, and dont down shift enough, keep the rpm high into the corners, drop that extra gear, and hammer down once 3/4 through...loss of RPM is loss of seconds ;) joking aside, mad skills. where is this and how do i get there?
Pikes peak Colorado USA
Idiot!!!
Back seat driver
sshhowww
So stupid to let spectators stand right next to the road

He's Driving Like He Is Scared of the Car??... I know I an Drive Way Better & Faster thin Ur Driver!?..
fast motor but nose heavy...
Too slow !
the driver is very careful and a bit slowww
@@SES10M guy has no clue as to this car or driver!!!
I could do that
Faster in my
2015 SS2s
Camero ,,
That is never 1000bhp, more like 550-600 tops, the steering ratio is terrible, very poor indeed.
Idiot!!!
