Cool...I love Caprice's since I was a little boy. Maybe cause my dad used to own one and when I first came to the USA, it was a Caprice Classic that I first got in to. He used it as a cab. I find that car soo cool for some wierd reason!! lol
man i love teh aerocoupe caprice...shame it's so rare. It easily is more badass than the trans am, camaro and firebirds of the same year.....i drove an 88 caprice same exact color stock and it makes me proud to see that with work, I will be able to smoke a corvette and spin tires so ridiculously.
@eightballe I had a 79 2-door. I ran a solid cam 355ci w/open headers on the street. It was insane. I would give anything to have her back. Classic iron running a number is BEAST!
Still an Impressive race. Just the fact that you ran a late 70's early 80's caprice classic against a Z06 of any kind is amazing. Tell us a little bit about the engine you utilize in the description though.
Motor is a 413 small block 400 rear wheel h.p. 700R4 trans 3000 stall 3.90 ford 9 inch from Mosler with Detroit locker. Also has a power shot plate system not used on this run.
@killerwhale187 Motor is a Lunati 400 bored 60 over Trick Flow 2.02 heads w/Trick Flow roller rockers Crowler cam all forged pistons and crank MSD billet dis. MSD digital 6box Headman aluminum coated headers 11.3to1 compression 125 shot of NOS. 700r4 3000 stall Mosler 9inch 3.90 Detroit locker. And heavy as hell wont slip a tire at the track. Hope this helps.
yes it's a 700R4 3500 stall 3.90 Detroit locker. Trans is built to hold more than the amount of H.P. I'm putting out witch is 400 rear wheel which is without the N.O.S
yeah curb weight registered is between 37 and 3900 depending on options from factor. With a driver it puts it around or just over 4k stock. Mine has a 355 i built, GM 12inch rear with 3.55's best ive had is 8.65 at the 1/8th mile which if my mat is right will put me in high 13's, which is still respectable i think for the mild buildup. You cant beat the B-bodys for a mean street car. Besides you can cram 6ppl in it comfrotable and have plenty of room for a slice of pie...
The car is actually 4350lb. four 10"s one 15 four amps big ass Kinetics battery plus nitrous all in the trunk.Oh forgot the full frame trailer hitch. Plus the bigger Ford nine inch. Still only a small block though.
@ASLEEPR1 All i know is stock they weighed 3650 pounds now you added all that shit plus the driver then it is possible.Anyway it is fast for a big car.
@camirocz sorry this car dose weigh 4350lb. It has a tun of stereo full frame trailer hitch nitros Ford 9inch ect. Plus I have had it on the scale. This is not a stripped down car nothing is stock. Full leather interior 8way power seats the list goes on. Also a big ass Kinetics battery in the trunk also. Thanks for your concern on the weight of my car.
Looks like this 1979 Chevy Caprice has a powerful engine and drag race shifter swapped from the automatic transmission. That makes me think the 1990 and 1995 Chevy Caprices are great for Xbox One's Forza 6.
Kevin Barton that would be bad ass if Forza had a 1979 caprice or Impala at least. But that year specifically.. It would make me buy an Xbox just to be able to see it if they had it.
What motor and what power is this car running? 12.08 is a hell of a time for a full size chevy! I'm building my 80 four door with 350BHP as a street sleeper. Wonder what times it will pull, i hope for high 14's.
wrong, curb weight on my 78 2dr on my registration card is 3900 lbs. Mine is also the landau (sp) so prob adds a few lbs, however with me (226lbs) in the car i pulled onto scales at the local farmers Co-op and he car weighed in just under 4200lbs. So im not guessing, i actually own one and know.
Uh...the Caprice is not stock. Has a performance camshaft, carb, headers, slicks and gears I would imagine. Still 12.08 is very respectable from 3500 lbs plus.
@camirocz Not a "big car" 115.9" wheel base. Just a big name to you Camaro guys. F-Body aint no little car, but it has a little name. Unless its a 67-69.
3500lbs? those cars stock had moe like 4200lbs plus whatever he has in te car as weight. Could easily be pushing 4400lbs unless hes cut weight somewhere. 12.08 is respectable in any car.
Man I need to drop a 400ci or and LS Swap In My 1977 Caprice 2Dr, because my 305 aint powerful enough to even spin my wheels. Although I have a built 700r4 and diff: eaton lsd with richmond 3.73 gears. Whats the best engine for my car?
Thanks,I have had this car now for twenty years grew up driving a caprice also but nouthing like this one.
nice car i have a 77 to, i love that car.. ive had it 13 years..
Cool...I love Caprice's since I was a little boy. Maybe cause my dad used to own one and when I first came to the USA, it was a Caprice Classic that I first got in to. He used it as a cab. I find that car soo cool for some wierd reason!! lol
my parents had a 79 2 door big back glass caprice. I learned how to drive in that car =) Did my first burnout in it too!

Nice car and one heck of a nice run. Its great to see other 2-door Caprice's running strong.
The Chevrolet Caprice and Impala are the first 2door Areocoupes to me
@eightballe

what size stall
I love this video. I live in Compton Ca. I have an all original 79 caprice. I wish I had that set up on mine.
Thats one strong ass caprice right there!
Damn, what a hook up! Sleepy ain't the word. Great decision on this model. Favorite Impala year and coupe!

@killerwhale187 Motor is a Lunati 400 bored 60 over Trick Flow 2.02 heads w/Trick Flow roller rockers Crowler cam all forged pistons and crank MSD billet dis.

yes it's a 700R4 3500 stall 3.90 Detroit locker. Trans is built to hold more than the amount of H.P. I'm putting out witch is 400 rear wheel which is without the N.O.S
i also run a 1982 Caprice that runs 7.51 in the 8th nice to see another one out there

Thanks a car you don't see every day. Should have done the video in high def so you could see the ghost flames
The car is actually 4350lb. four 10"s one 15 four amps big ass Kinetics battery plus nitrous all in the trunk.Oh forgot the full frame trailer hitch. Plus the bigger Ford nine inch. Still only a small block though.
My grandfather has that car except it it metalic green
awesome caprice machine!!
Rear end is a Moseler Ford 9" with 3.9 Detroit locker
+ASLEEPR1 Do you still have this car?
@ASLEEPR1 All i know is stock they weighed 3650 pounds now you added all that shit plus the driver then it is possible.Anyway it is fast for a big car.
Looks exactly like my caprice :)

No just a 400 small block from Lunati 11.3to1 compression Trick Flow heads Crowler cam best time with the slicks 11.99 at 115mph.
2 door caprices FOR THE WIN!!!
Ready to run in the 11s this summer
They're close to 3700lbs curb weight stock, a big block and a stereo might add enough weight to get to the 4300lbs otherwise he needs to stop guessing
Yes still have it.
That was awesome,

@killerwhale187 No was a heads up race.I think he was a little sleepy though.
Was this a fender or sandbag race? I can't imagine a standard Z06 unless pre-LS7, could ever go slower than a 13 second quarter mile.
perfect launch! ..
I was looking for a 383 but Lunati had a 400 for the same price so I figured bigger better. Cars on it's game now runs high 11s
Do you still have da car
I have da same car wit a 385

@killerwhale187 "Impressive race?" I don't know about you, but I saw a slaughter !!!
that comentator is a fool, it's not a malibu it's a caprice! :)
that's a chevy for ya !
NICE SHIT.anyone know if the 07 corvette 427 small block wil fit in a 90 box 9C1???
@camirocz Not a "big car" 115.9" wheel base. Just a big name to you Camaro guys. F-Body aint no little car, but it has a little name. Unless its a 67-69.
what year is that corvette?
This model of caprice weighs about 3650 not 4300.
i have a complete stock 89 caprice 9c1 its 4200lbs
3500lbs? those cars stock had moe like 4200lbs plus whatever he has in te car as weight. Could easily be pushing 4400lbs unless hes cut weight somewhere. 12.08 is respectable in any car.
TheBigChevyGuy check out other comments further down the page. And check out my dyno run. Car makes 400 rear wheel H.P. without N.O.S
4300lbs ??? my 77 Caprice classic coupe was 3666lbs
Awakend , all the stuff he put into it.
Awakend, but that's still alot of weight
Clueless announcer called it a Malibu! 😂
Man I need to drop a 400ci or and LS Swap In My 1977 Caprice 2Dr, because my 305 aint powerful enough to even spin my wheels. Although I have a built 700r4 and diff: eaton lsd with richmond 3.73 gears. Whats the best engine for my car?
Hey what suspension mods do you have??
