James saw blue... immediately had thoughts of a nos bottle. It’s in his dna as dr spray em all 😂
Red C6, White C7, Blue C8.
Bald eagles be flying

Yep
120 shot all day
Best coment you can give
One thing I like about cleetus is he shares everything with his boys. What’s his is theirs and has there back through thick and thin. 💯
amen how it should be that's a real true friend
He owes his boys a lot, it’s nice to see someone who recognizes that plus is just a good friend to begin with.
I second this statement
Man I'm 114th' that, it's a great inspiration for a lot of people to see that Garrett can be funny, competitive, humble, and really caring to his loved ones, family, friends, and crew. Do it for Dale!
He should share with the fans also and do a giveaway of some sort small channels give away vehicles and things this man has 2.2mil subs ....
Car goes 0-60 in 2.9 and they’re like “I mean it’s not slow”
These guys have been ruined 😂
dazgreen 3 sec 0-60 isn’t that exciting
@@Nicholas-im8bd It is for the average driver....
Considering it's a car that will actually turn unlike any of the drag cars. So ya that's pretty fast...
Nicholas come off it. In a road car that’s seriously quick
Nicholas for a stock car that you can buy from the factory for $60k with all the other features, it’s phenomenal!
I love LS George, he seemed legitimately excited for for our boy Cleet. What a good guy.
He is the world's best hype man. He's that dude that's just happy as crap to involved in the situation he is in and is always stoked for his friends.
Can't say enough good things about LS George
NEW WHEELS FOR THE NEW C8
Galaxy: dammit, passed up again
LOOOL
Just started my channel where I take trucks into the mountains and break em. Hoping to make some people laugh.
(Galaxie ;) )
Hey cleet start and c8 nascar type race at the factory nascer new era start that crap love the content big fan
Bush Truck you're the new whistlin' deisel I guess👍
Cleetus: “I’m not gonna mod it”
One month later: “first C8 corvette in the 7s”
yesssss 100%
No ones cranked the ecu, it’ll be a good minute.
@@bbdl7042 stand alone ecu. Holley should be pretty close. They've known this was coming for a while.

We need some quality James time soon...he's a vital member of the team.
I feel like when ruby goes a 7 its going to be time
Don’t forget about James’s kids..
Chandler brintle yup that’s his first priority for sure
He just had another kid
I'm having james withdrawals
I love James’s nonchalant response to Cleet. Cleet: “What do you say, we throw this thing in there and go chase some 7’s? James: 🤷♂️ yea
"shut the gate and see what happens" james has a quote that gets me goin every video
That should probably be on a shirt to be honest.
facts
You gotta have a stock Crown Vic lap time board at the FF similar to what Top Gear did with the guests on the show.
Hell yeah bro
This is a fantabulous idea.
yes!
what a great idea!!!!
Yessssss
Cleetus: Buys the best handling, mid-engine Corvette.
Also Cleetus: Makes it a drag car.
🇺🇸
Also Cleetus: ".....rear engine car"
What are they gonna do, take it to a track day? I don't think they have the desire, not to mention the amount of drag strips heavily out-weighs the number of race circuits in the US lol...
I litterally came to say this same thing 😂😂
Also Corvette: What have we done .
Shirt Idea: "Corvettes are road course cars" and have Leroy, Ruby, and the C8 sitting in a 3-lane drag strip.
Or Donnie
or ruby, the c7, then the c8... itll be red white and blue, and on top of that, it would be c6, c7 then c8
He could do c5 c6 c7 c8
_Wow, you went all "Jump to Conclusions Mat" with that idea._
xD
We need more of James!!! He’s been missed...
It's been so long he looks older!
Well he did just have another kid
Hell yeah we miss him.
James, burnouts, and freedom factory. Missed
I wanna see a video of how Ceet and James meet and James background and story.
Nice to see James back on the channel. He’s been gone too long.
I mean its only been like 2 weeks... Is Mike Finnegan not good enough? Lol. Ive been enjoying cleetus and mikes videos together.
Plus he just had another kid last week. I can see why hes been gone.
James makes the videos tho for some reason 🤷🏽♂️good vibes
Who is this James fella? I am glad to see Jackstand Jimmy back on the channel again though. I missed him.
Yeah james hasn't been taking time off due to his son being born
“Why would we ruin a perfectly good car?” (Regarding modify without good software yet). This is a wise man. Just about everyone that’s boosting power is blowing things up.
At the same time though, this is how progress is made lol. If everyone took that outlook there would be hardly any tuned cars out there!
Chris D
Provided you have the funds to survive the learning process.
Why?
For the views and the subs. That's why.
It's a proven, reliable formula. Haha.
Tim Lippard
You really think that’ll pay for several R&R blown engines or transmissions? If so I’ll find an interesting topic get easy money too Lol
@@SkypowerwithKarl where have you been? That is literally all it takes a topic and a camera/phone. The guy who mimics Red Green and tinkers with junk doesn't work a 9 to 5 anymore. Not being rude, I'm as surprised as you but it CAN be done and it really is "find an interesting topic and make money". Some just open boxes and talk about products. Crazy. And yes the views will pay for several NEW CARS, RACE PARTS, EVEN A TRACK ! [eventually] youtube $ is real.
The fact Cleet said “I want james to be able to take his wife out in this car” just gave me even that much more respect for this man
M K same. Dude is very very respectable. I’ve met him in person in Houston and he’s super humble.
Always...he was raised right..most of these young people have no respect 🙄
I came to the comments looking for this, what an incredible man, buys a brand new C8 and wants everyone else to drive it so they can share the experience. Cleeter is a genuine man and it makes me proud that he's representing this country so well.
I agree that is nice but it's sad that this isn't normal behavior for all business owners.
It shouldn't be a unusual thing that has to be pointed out.
Your employees are the reason you have anything and when they are good employees then you should be a great boss.
James and Coop are just as much a part of the channel as Garret.
On top of all that, the 80ish thousand dollar Corvette to him is the equivalent of loaning your friend a $4k Civic
Do you guys not realize that it's just 'a car' for him. At his income level, a new vette is no big deal and he probably writes it off as a business expense to boot. Not saying he's not a nice guy or generous but it's just another car in the fleet for him and he's looking for ways to make even more money off it.
Cletus: 700hp isn't worth it
James launches it:
Cletus: thrown back
Cluetus's brain: 700 isn't a bad idea
It's like clock work, then, "James get the tool box"

That thing hooks! 2.9 and that was with 2 people in the car.
With a Dr. and a Giraffe in the car!!
@Stephen j right! James looks my size [5'11" 185 or so] but Cleeter said before i believe he is 6'6'', someone may correct me on that, and not skinny probably 230 or more!!!
With the car cooled down and the tires hot with just one person in the car I think 2.7 is possible.
I miss James EVERYTIME he’s not in a video dudes so funny and Georgie is like Zach Marteen’s from Hoonigans lost brother
Right when I clicked on this video I was thinking the same thing!!! Jack stand Jim!!!
I love how technical James is. Right away he points out things that only a true naturally born mechanic would know!
James all the way
I think that all the time
That's so sweet
Cleetus: the engine’s in the wrong place James: does that mean put it in reverse to go forward?! 😂🤣
My man's got his Dad jokes locked and loaded
That part had me💀💀
The thing I love about Cletus is that he gets a c8 and it's not nearly the focus of his channel for months. It's just something he does on the side. Other channels it's c8 delivery, c 8 intake, c8 exhaust c8 turbos c8 wheels, c8 tires, c8 wrap, c8 blah blah blah.
7:20 "We may not be the first ones to come out and do it"
Cleet, you are humble. A lot of youtubers want to be first on everything and pump themselves on camera. Truly honorable after 2m subs, what a florida man
so true and some shops are just douche bags when it comes to stuff like that
@@thedarklordsknigh Ahem $H33PY RACE
Lol like kyle at the ice cream cruise, he got beat at least 3 times but he could never admit it. Haha.
Everytime "I dont even know who won that time, it was a close race"
Hahaha, nah dude, you definitely lost.
@@asylumental People don't know how to take a loss. That's how you lose subscribers.
@@THESLlCK he was also rude and kept talking over everyone else who came on camera...
Like yeah kyle we get it, your van is cool... but why dont you let that guy talk about his built skyline, or let that other guy talk about his purple challenger? Let the other dudes at least speak a little man, jeeze.
Missed seeing James, glad to see some regular content again!
11:11 that synchronised head knock is on point 👌
I don’t care about the C8 anymore. Your dads Camaro is catching my eye🤤
“It’s not worth ruining a car for 700hp.”
Streetspeed717 did not get that memo.
And that girl Emeila Hartford too!
@Casey Kiser she sure broke somethin
Casey Kiser new video is in my queue for her taking it apart... not what they thought.
Street speed it a tool
That guy is a poser and one of those "family channels" that is just a straight up cash grab. They guy only cares about making money and it makes it unwatchable.
Emilia Hartford did a huge burn out with her c8 when it was stock. There is some kind of procedure to do. Check out her channel before she installed the Twin turbos.
They did it when they did the curated day with it pre-release. Go back and check that out.
@Texas Outlaw Which sort of nailed it for me on why I didn't like that new c8. Besides a pretty boring looking drive as the car / computer does all the work, gotta jump through hoops to have the car allow you to do what you want. There is hope they remove all that gatekeeper rubbish and fully replace the systems with one where they tell the car what they want to do.
@Texas Outlaw The most I have is abs. No traction control or anything. I tell the big mouths that go on about how fast they corner to turn their TC off and then see what their car is really like. They never do. lol. Anyway, mustang does linelock from factory. It's like they want the c8 to be only owned by old guys going to cars and coffee.
It’s been so long since we’ve seen James
He's been getting an aircraft mechanic license.
Peter Hineinlegen /having a baby
He had a baby go see his IG @taal_james ☺️
He's been working at a brothel and a local strip club trying to make some cash for his nova
@@CleetusM Congrats James
I love the drag look I would definitely replace the skinnies on the front for some regular wheels. But i love the set up and can’t wait to see you rip it hard in the ole c8!
Yeah I'm a fan of the Meaty tires in the back but the skinnies up front is not a good look
Zach T and would suck to daily
That 'vette was meant to be the best handling one to date, definitely get some bigger meats in the front! Agree 100%
Yeah, I agree. The rear setup looks killer, but the fronts need to be wider, and still narrower than the rear.
been feeling a little down layely but the uploads really help on these 3am nights. thanks guys.
That would be awesome on a T-Shirt
"Shut the gate, see what happens"
Can’t believe it’s been a year already, i remember you bidding on ruby on how interesting it was to now. Awesome $h!t fellas.
Gets a c8, shares it with everyone
brother, talking about time flying by, I remember the day he was thinking of naming Leroy “Lady Freedom”? 😅
Not digging the pizza cutters, but I’m loving the extra beefy out back.
The stock rubber bands make me think every potholed backroad would be a new set of rims.
Hay dude im from small town in foxton nz love your stuff from 2 years ago ❤from new Zealand
cleetus worked hard to get where he is and I'm happy for him for all the toys and the FF that he deserves.... for all the long hours and hard work he has done!
Some people I follow on RUclips are great when they are small, and turn into douches when they start getting life changing money-- Cleeter just gets more crazy and excited about life, and more interested in sharing his new wealth with his friends and his viewers. He invests into his audiences enjoyment.
Agreeded
Alot of people don't realize how much work it actually is to be a big RUclipsr like Cletus. Having to come up with all the video ideas. And then having to remember to record and have to maintain all the cars and property
@@LittleMikeStarCraft Johnathan Price..... that boy brags and puts ppl down, that arent on his level.
I love the big tire look. Even big tire front and rear would look sick IMO. Reminds me of an F1 car. F1 is going low profile soon, but they were meaty AF for so long it's really an iconic look.
@Evo Shift NASCAR sidewall lettering is yellow. GEE GEE tho
But, imagine a blower sticking up through the rear cover. That would be amazing
Big scoop and boat headers like the mazdarati
Honestly this thing would do great on spray launching out of the hole with all that traction on a smallish shot. But I agree with Cleet, put a full size front wheel/tire on there
thats all they should do to it. Put a 100 shot in it
Ryan Malin I was thinking 150 or bigger, but yea
@@bullhead360 true, it should be able to handle 150 no problem but knowing cleeter Im saying 100 just to keep the piston rings from overheating and expanding too much.
"Shut the gate one time and send it" "honestly yeah"
Yet another Texas Speed 427: I'm in danger
*texasspeed 427 has left the chat*
Yes, get a full size front wheel set, would look dope.
The wheels look great to me until you turn. I like the beefy back wheels, the front skinny ones aren't doing it for me though.
You have to put more transmission fluid inside of the C8 before trying to do a burn out
Under rated/liked comment but I’m sure the guys now this already
I'm with James the drags look great.. but yes when you turn that front wheel the skinny looked a little funny
Drag radials in the back, regulars in front.
Cleetus McFarland was such a great motivation for me on my youtube journey,I am glad I was motivated by this man
I wanna start one too. I've bought a few gopros and a powerful laptop for editing. How do you get your followers up?
I swear to sweet baby Jesus if you make it into a El Camino I will for ever hurt my self
Cleetus: "Why would we ruin a perfectly good car, you know, by modding the heck out of it?"
Me: *checks Cleetus' temperature*
Also me: You feeling OK there bud?
It'll be modded once the tuning is available for it. Just pointless to do it now since it can't even be tuned right.
The looks of it, but iam European, the C8 dont need mods, looks Good, engeine on the right side of the driver, and it looks like the new drag slippers put the power down to the ground properly, so Yea why change the first Ever Corvette that is built in the right way?
I rely hope the C8 aint a plastic toy as the other American cars is, cuz this looks promising.
I do have some American favorit cars, but American cars is not in my top list, but hey if this is the begining of a change for American cars it is going to be a fun future for sure!
Usuly i only buy American then it comes to marin motors, like Mercury, not cars, might be a change now with this C8 for American cars... :)
@@NiclasHorn It definitely needs about another 600hp to really wake it up. Like Cleetus says, it's just not worth doing to only get 700hp. He wants to be in the 1000+ hp range. It's definitely weird having the engine in the rear of an American made vehicle, but it does help with the weight transfer on the drag strip.
Chris Williams tuning is available no one has be able to get a good dyno pull because other parts keep breaking that’s why the axles have been changed out all ready cleetus said the reasons on his last video
@@jozua715 No tuning isn't available on the C8. GM has the ECU locked and until someone hacks it nobody can tune them. It took over a year for the C7 to finally get hacked.
5:25 That proportion of rubber sidewall to body is exquisite.
I lost it when James said “ do you have to put it in reverse to go forward “😂😂😂
Laundry list comments:
Welcome back, James. Congrats to your family!
C8 Rear wheels - A+ mint. Fronts need to be meatier for daily duties. Put the skinnies on at the track.
Time for a white C4...
What's cookin' with Toast?
14:02 i got so excited when he said "shut the gate one time and see what happens"
Finally someone said it. "Why mod a perfect car for only 700hp?" Not worth it

I had to Google her. I am sad I did.
woof woof
Yeah I'm not sexist but I watched a couple of her C8 videos and it felt like I was watching a woman refereeing a professional men's sports game...it just didn't feel right.
I pressed like when James said “We can put some wood siding” lol
Tbh instead of ANOTHER drag car, you should make the C8 an ultimate road course car. Like the C8 is the first Corvette that just shouldn't be a drag car that's why the engines in the back
That’s more gay than three dudes bang in’ four dudes.
Sean it’s literally a car built to handle well what do you mean
True haha.
Where did he say it was going to be a drag car?
@@TexasSean that describes your face pretty well
"Why would we ruin the drivability of it?"
This car is going to be fully built, pushing 1,000hp in a month. Maybe less.
No one will be able to tune for for a while, 6 months or a year maybe.
@@MrRPF66
The first company to release software or an ECU for this thing would sell tons of them and be featured on damn near every car youtube channel there is, no way will it take even 6 months, let alone a year.
He's already got 2 1000hp+ corvettes there's no need for him to rush into modding the C8 when it can't be tuned properly yet I think waiting is definitely the best idea
@@damstachizz from my understanding it took a year to crack the C7 computer & the C8 has been made harder they're saying.
So 6 months I don't think so.
@@smh28v6 cant sleep on the RUclips wave. Gotta stay ahead of it.
The front wheels look okay as long as you never turn.
8:57 The face when the bald eagles hit!
The C8 really seems more like a road course car, i would be happy to see you guys put it into some autocross, road racing, and of course chase some times at the freedom factory.
I'd love to see them road course it!! My best friend courses his zl1 1le and I find it entertaining to watch each lap trying to beat each time before.
I wanna see Cleeter try Time Attack and some Grip Racin'!
@@beanzz801 with that said, i am certain that HP Tuners will have the data they need to tune the C8 any day now, they are really good about that. so i expect to see the C8 tuned and modded to the highest level eventually. would love to see it set up for the kinds of racing where you need to steer and brake, rather than straight line drag racing. it would be a great addition to the channel and i think the C8 is the right corvette to do that kind of racing.
@@jondepinet -it took a year and a half to crack the C7 module...😳😬
@@crimsonking8746 It didnt take long at all to crack the E92..
"Do you have to put it in reverse to go forward?" HILARIOUS...!!! Gotta love James' one-liners...!!! Keep up y'alls awesomeness...!
Love seeing a RUclipsr with a C8 having an actual realistic thought process about modifications instead of "I PUT TWIN TURBOZ ON MY C8!!!"
James is a Nitro supplier so a small wet kit 150-250 would nice in drag racing.
True!!! But anyway. I would love to see one, if it's done right.
Someone has to twin turbo it. Also for a business stand point his views wouldn’t be as many since 5 ppl have done it.
You can’t tune for the turbos anyone who’s tried it so far has blown their motor after 10-20 mins
Then they all blow them up😅
Seeing Jame's smilling face made me smile. Love how genuine these two are, just out banging around in a new vette. Hell yeah Brother !
Congrats to James and his growing family ;-)
"can't find anything to complain about"
"can't do a burn out"
sounds like a decent complaint to me haha
and he even put a smaller front tire on it lol
Love the rears... not in love with the skinnys on the front though..🤷🏻♂️
Buys brand new track car.......puts radials and skinny’s in the front. “Cause America”
It’s the only thing they coulda done, cause MURICA’
GM: Cleetus, these have a 500 mile break in period so take it easy
Cleetus: You said I only have 500 miles to break it in?! Lemme get to it🤘🏼
Some say “break it in the way you’d drive it for the rest of its life”
I was suprised he didn't put it on a dyno doing 60 overnight to get the 500 miles.
He probably would've if he didn't have to road trip back from the ice cream cruise.
1:35 Now I'm picturing two big turbos sticking up above the roof line with the rear hood removed and some covers over the storage space around the engine bay.
And the covers will be cardboard and duct tape.
So surprised James didn't get the blue bottle out to work out where it can sit on the Engine hatch .... Absolutely love the look of the Forgelines.. they really set the car off just nicely! I think if you inlay the "HELL YEAH BROTHER" in blue it would draw the eye to the bead locks instantly!!
"This thing is BLUE!" 😂
Eiffel65 vibes !
I could see the blue reflecting off his face lol
The blue Camaro they passed moving it into the shop is a way better color. The fruit loops blue just doesn’t appeal to me.
hes wearing a shirt that says ol blue lol
“Modern day El Camino” you heard it here first folks
Party up front, business in the back?!
I feel like ole Cleet is gonna own every generation of corvette eventually
I love how all the youtubers who rushed out and twin turboed their c8s even though they cant tune them and the real car guys say, i think we will wait till we can actually use the boost.
That shows you the difference. Cleet is a actual racer and a decent tuner in his own right. He understands the limitations and what it takes to go fast RELIABLY. He has two cars that can do sub 8 with out too many issues. He knows who to call ( Kevin for Holley / Jeremy for HP tuners) for tuning and who to talk to about engines and transmissions. I am pretty sure there was a lot of conversations about this and the consensus was not to push it. Streetspeed was lucky. But he will sell the car in a month and be on to something new. Emelia Hartford is hamfisted like whistling diesel. They don't care about the vehicles. They are only in it for the views and the money. They both go thru vehicles very fast. Cleet has had Leroy for years. Ruby for a while. And vehicles leave but don't go far. When he changes his mind on something he just changes the vehicle and does not throw it out .
Emilia? Paging Emilia...
@ratnetorrin add Streetspeed717 to that list with Emelia
Bet James was thinking of how much nitrous the c8 can take as he's driving it.
Yes. Hes thinking 100 but the kit came with 150 and 200 jets......

He clickbaits sometimes, depends on how big the news is. I don't care though. He still puts out awesome content no matter what he chooses to do with the thumbnail. People will click regardless.
James: Made in U.S.A....Sweet wheels n tires though, and that vet is a beautiful frickin car.
I feel like Cleetus and James are gonna start getting stuck in a "Duuude...Sweet....Duuude....Sweet" loop!
Pretty much sums up most driving channels on youtube.
I need them to start adding in "Dangggggggg...Son!" like Goonzquad.
"Dude...Where's my nitrous?"
I’m surprised JAMES didn’t tell him to spray it 😂😂
Man, the C8 is getting nicer and nicer the more I see them in videos! I see what you are saying Cleetus about the drag radials on the C8 but I definitely don't hate the look. It's pretty cool looking. You are definitely not going to see many like it.
James approves, HELL YEAH BROTHER!
Cleetus: why would we ruin it
Rob dahm: (evil laugh)
Rob's was ruined before he got it, and then he decided to ruin it even more by dropping a rotary in it (I'm just kidding dorito boyz don't hate me)
Love Rob wish he would fully finish a car lol
Mm nv
I also think FC's are pretty!
His was totaled or sumn...So fuck it rotary swap the shit out of it in the name of the Dorito Papis.....

Just to be correct buddy's, this is a mid engine car not a rear engine car.
A 911 is a rear engine car.
@Texas Outlaw those flat sixes have a huge bore spacing and they're wide as hell too so they can run a rod long enough to turn 9000rpm, and the DOHC heads necessary... they're as long as an LS, considerably wider and not that much lower. They weigh about the same too.

The engine in a 911 on the other hand is behind the rear axle.

Those wheels are SICK!!!
Okay, the skinny leaves a bit to be desired when ya turn your wheel, but those are beauties nonetheless!!!
I love em!!
6:25 ol Cleeter throwing shade 🤣 😂
WOW, That launches well with the drag radials! That made a real difference. A 2.9 0-60 is really quick, especially for a stock car off the showroom floor! Come on 7 for Ruby! Thanks for sharing! Take care and God bless you all! I love what you all are doing there! David

@@WarofClans OK you are trolling! Grow up and find something constructive to do with your life! bye
Yes, and with a 200 plus lb pax riding along.. probably 2/10th quicker empty...
It just needs a wider tire up front thats all that throws me off
FYI, even though I know you probably never will see this, it's actually not rear engine. It's Mid Engine. Mid Engine is before the rear axle, rear engine is after the rear axle. Like a Porsche. That's rear engine.
Technically yes. Traditionally, the engine is on the back. Some more examples of true rear engine cars are: Fiat 600, Renault Dauphine, VW Beetle, Fiat 500, etc
Yes, everybody knows.
BTW WRT to the Porsche comment: Only the 911's are rear engine. The rest (Cayman, Boxster, 918, etc.) are mid engine.
So are you comparing it to a fiero?????
