That dude is STILL making turbo Ferraris? Car and Driver did an article about him and IIRC a turbo Testarossa he built about 30 years ago. Good on him.
Came here to comment this, the article was about the cars he made for John Carmack, the creator of Doom. Haven't heard about him since, great to see him still going.
Serious respect for this guy. Personally i am a massive fan of ACTUALLY driving your cars, collector or not. And big respect for making big power Ferraris. Im a fan!
I agree too, cars are meant to be used and not just left in garages, I have a friend of Monaco {his instagram instagram.com/cardoso.collector/ if you are interested} who has an amazing collection of cars and motorcycles, and uses them all the time, he even has probably one of the most used LaFerrari and F40 on the planet, both over 60000km! I really admire who knows how to enjoy what I have, I try to do the same with my cars, but I'm not yet at the level of having a hypercar! hehe
Having 1100+ HP in the 90‘s was probably the craziest thing on Earth. I love this channel even more now, because Sam is showing us these not mainstream guys and it’s so cool to see and to listen. Thank you!
Casually mentioned flying a P51 Mustang. Bad ass! That F50 he's talking about belonged to John Carmack, he was the developer of Quake, Doom, Wolfenstein 3D etc. He was a guest at Joe Rogan's podcast a couple of week ago and talked about his crazy Ferrari's. By the way, really enjoying your US content recently!
Cool to see my boy Joe and Bob killing it! Thats my painting of the 288 GTO over the work bench by the lathe. I did some machine work and help them out in the past.
Seen an article on him a while back. You really have to respect the fact that he keeps the exterior of his cars the way it should be instead of just murdering them with body kits and crap.
When you have such great content, and such iconic guests, don’t be shy about pushing your videos closer to 30 minutes. Your subscribers will not run away. We want more stories from these amazing people that we would never have known existed if not for your video. In a word, more.
Wow thx for this vid, it was interesting. I last saw Norwood in the late 90’s. He doesn’t look 20+yrs older. I remember some of those artifacts you showed from his old shop. I have VHS of the Carmack F40 posted when they just happened to show up while I was dynoing my Mustang. Now I am motivated to dig for Carmack's F50 and Testarossa video I have and post them up since it is now part of a historic story. Edit: I found the F50 vid now too, it was from a 1998 NOPI event. I posted it up.
Bob! Man, long time since I have been able to chat with him. He built up the motors for our drag race car for a couple of years. Some started from a block of billet. He is seriously a genius and really does have the best stories. He has turned a Ferrari engine block into a coffee table in his living room. It is pretty wicked. I spent a good hour just looking over all his parts bins at the years of spare Italian parts he has collected. And the cars... oh my. Anyways, great video. All of them have been a blast to watch. This one was a little more cooler though. ;)
Dude you legit put so much love and creativity into these videos!! I wasn't always a huge fan but over the years I've noticed your work ethic and i'm just impressed! Part of me wishes you had more subscribers, so you could make more money but I also like that you're not a sell out! Don't ever change my man
Such a wise man. He’s literally living in a forza horizon 4 life. 👍🏻 (Edit: Sam when are you also coming to Philadelphia? And if you do check out Algar Ferrari, unless you already have that planned. They have such a crazy collection as well)
Oh! John Carmac was just on the Joe Rogan Podcast talking about his Testarossa and his F50 being turbo'd by this guy, and now here's this guy talking about working on those cars! Neat!
OMG Bob Norwood! This man is a LEGEND! This video was such an awesome surprise! Lucky you Sam! :P I've been reading on his projects since i was a teenager (not to date myself, but that was a very long time ago).
I remember riding with bob to his house, and he showed me around the property.. every time he opened another door another bunch of amazing things got the show and tell treatment! Bob still might have a 330 2+2 i think... love this guy... love that he drives a lovely old pick up as his daily.. one of the most interesting people i've met! (big thank you to Tim and Derek P4 by norwood and red car restoration) One of the coolest trips i've ever been on. If you want a off the charts cool Ferrari, Bob and Tim are the guys! END OF STORY!
I LOVE Norwood Auto Italia in Addison, Bob's old exotic car service center. Literally has 458 challenge cars out front.. I got to hang out there when I worked at Top Speed Pro 1 just 2 miles down the road. John has a crazy nice Liberty Walk Murcielago that got serviced there along with his Ferrari.
The packaging is great, quality work. I wish more people would customize their cars regardless of value, enjoy it and make it your own. Hopefully that will start when the car bubble pops.
Engineering genius. I suppose one needs to make their fortune however and become passionate about doing crazy stuff. Ferrari purists must flip their wigs. I love when people chase their passions
I'm a huge fan, i've never seen a video of Mr Norwood at his shop before. I SO wish you had been able to get him talking about the incredibly amazing 330 P4 replicas he produces. I saw one in the background of one shot.
I watched this twice. UA-cam must have remembered me watching the John Carmack interview on JR. When he mentioned a Texas Ferrari tuner I immediately thought that needs it's own UA-cam channel.
That's awesome I grew up in Dallas going to Bob's shop in the 80s he built the very first TwinTurbo Ferrari testarossa if you wanted to go fast he was the man to see at the time his goal was to build the worlds fastest Ferrari twin turbo charged GTO he's the man
Sam, Sam, Sam!!!! Why just 15mins...? This is the kind of guy you could simply film for hours and still have an hour of incredible footage/b-roll. Such a shame, a missed opportunity.
Like the idea of hot roading Ferraris but I'd dial it a bit down, that Dino is a bit too much, but at the same time I love David Lee's "Monza Evo 3.6" (Dino with F40's V8)
to let everyone know it was making the clutch hot and sticking pretty bad , it had 4 - 2 mile drives before this...still needs shocks brakes clutch and some part throttle and off idle tuning (hence the stall) the jerking was a maxed out map sensor that's already been replaced ...I will post a few more vids when these are complete and hopefully have some dyno sheets for you
@@_chenn well that's ok uk drivers are mostly wankers with automatics and pint sized shit boxes or big clunky sedan... if you wanna be stereotypical.....lolol sorry
When you meet guys like this running Ferraris at 1000 bhp plus since 1990... unbelievable unless you have seen it ... you know you need the 360 sent over...American RWB
Cool guy he reminds me of a lot of my dad they did and do a lot of the same things although my dad was a private pilot from age 16 to age 79. He's 91 now

That dude is STILL making turbo Ferraris? Car and Driver did an article about him and IIRC a turbo Testarossa he built about 30 years ago. Good on him.
I remember reading that article when it came out.
That article was called "Doctor Yes and the Mad Ferraris". It was in a 1999 issue of Car & Driver.
It's shown at 9:50.
I read it too, they had to turn the boost down on the Testarossa because the car was like a bucking bronco. lol

I agree - cars is meant to be driven, not hidden away in some collection basement. Having said that, these Ferraris are absolutely ruined.....
@@mortenberg2897 why? because we stuck something better than stock in it? lolol
@Brad Viviviyal watch tax the rich.... that's your proof he runs those cars man its awesome seeing him go all in with them
The actual business ran by bob Norwood himself that's in this video is called Norwood autocraft and it's in rockwall TX.
Having 1100+ HP in the 90‘s was probably the craziest thing on Earth.
I love this channel even more now, because Sam is showing us these not mainstream guys and it’s so cool to see and to listen.

Sweet information!

A Texas legend. The cars are classic; the man even more so.
This guy is a legend. Many Mechanics, car builders have back problems. He just keeps going.
Your last month of content have been awsome so keep it up and Love Ferraris!

The turbo F50 needs to be found.
its been de turboed long ago and if I remember correctly was given away as a prize
I remember seeing the turbo F50 at the drag strip, I was 18-19 and I’m 39 now. Owner was one of my favorite video game developers of all time.
Dario M-car it’s John Carmack’s car ain’t it. Just today I came across his mentioning it on Joe Rogan’s podcast.
@Dario Ferdows I believe I have the video of the event. I found it and posted it up. I was there too.
Turbos were removed and the F50 was sold it was Johnny Carmacs ID software Doom , Quake video game fame one of many tuned Ferraris

Bob Norwood is an American legend! His Ferrari Dragster was crazy at that time! Love to see him still at it...you go Bob!

Best Tuner and builder of his time the real godfather of extreme hauling ass
Quality Quality Quality, come on people tell a friend and lets get STG upto to 1,000,000 and beyond. It's where this channel deserves to be.
Purchased my first Motec M4 from Bob. Great guy to talk to and an even better tuner!

Got a ride in a Norwood turbo Testarossa about 10 years ago during Monterey car week...the sound and acceleration was really awesome.
Absolutely smashing it Sam. Your US content has been the best car content on the platform
This is why you’re my new favorite car UA-camr! Bad Ass people like these!
Wow, wow, wow, Bob Norwood in the flesh, what a legend............lovely video. 👍
Guys like him are very important to the car community. Much respect!

I NEED to see that twin turboed F50... pls make it happen Sam!
it was de-turboed and given away
I have some old VHS of it that I posted up
One of your best episodes yet!!!👍👍👍
We own a Norwood P4! Bob is such a nice guy, and the job he has done on the P4 is insane.
I just recently heard about those and when Sam said Norwood and when I saw one in the backgrpund I was hoping we would get a look at it
your a great owner!!!!
joe hoover ☺️🙏🏼
I'm a huge fan, i've never seen a video of Mr Norwood at his shop before. I SO wish you had been able to get him talking about the incredibly amazing 330 P4 replicas he produces. I saw one in the background of one shot.
Yea really. His p4 and 288 gto reps were and are amazing.
5:00 if I had been filming at this moment I'd definitely have lost focus of the man because the T ist just looking so fine in the back
Some seriously great content Sam - Loving it!!
I still remember that F50 In I think Car & Driver. Love this video!
You can tell that man loves cars, he’s very inviting. Awesome video.
Sam, when you come to Detroit, let me hook you up with a Twin-Turbo Performante!
I'm in Detroit, can you hook me up? 🤣🤣
I hope they have a secret underground batman lair to safely store that shit in Detroit.
How did you make 14 minute video feel like it's just 20 seconds?
more videos like this, love hearing stories
So good to see Bob Norwood still going strong.
After my lottery win he'll be building my P4...
What’s the name of the song in the beginning montage of the video??
Massive respect to this man.
One word Legend.
You can see that legendary Max 4 in the background...
Twin-turbo 4 cylinder with a billet block.
its a gen 3 max 4 way stronger and has 3 plugs a cyl
Noticed you took a UK plate 911 to the states? Must be a story there? Sticking turbos on Ferrari’s - insane but gotta love it !
I watched this twice.
UA-cam must have remembered me watching the John Carmack interview on JR. When he mentioned a Texas Ferrari tuner I immediately thought that needs it's own UA-cam channel.
Wow, crazy insane hp cars!. Awesome!!!. Love your streams bud. Keep
It up
Another superb video, great work 👍🏽👍🏽
This channel is growing at a snails pace!
You have been in areas that have a really good car culture that helps your drive the world vids
You're killin it! I absolutely love your music choices in all the latest edits!!🔥🔥🔥
Wow! That Dino! Incredible!! 🤙🤙
TwinTurboring The F50!!! Thats the word to Memorise!!! What a shop!!! #epiccarbuiltforever
This guy is like the Magnus Walker of Ferraris. Modified but yet with factory style looks.
Welcome to Dallas! Love your content!
What a guy, a rare breed these days!
That's awesome I grew up in Dallas going to Bob's shop in the 80s he built the very first TwinTurbo Ferrari testarossa if you wanted to go fast he was the man to see at the time his goal was to build the worlds fastest Ferrari twin turbo charged GTO he's the man
He’s the Shelby of Ferrari! This guys great!
Bob, the world's slowest speaker, builds the world's fastest Ferraris.
Sam! Are you still in DFW? If so, will you be at any meets this weekend? Would be cool to meet you.
Sam, Sam, Sam!!!! Why just 15mins...? This is the kind of guy you could simply film for hours and still have an hour of incredible footage/b-roll. Such a shame, a missed opportunity.
AMAZING!!! Love to see those cars driven!!
He is a mad man in a good way
Awesome Video Sir!

I just like the fact its a classic story of an american chap. Hot rodding a high end sports car.
Hey Sam! I don't know if you will pass Austin before this Saturday, but I believe this weekend is the vintage races at Circuit of the Americas
Dude, this content right now!!!
2nd to no one!!
Insane.... Brilliant... But insane!
The best things that came out of Texas are Buddy Holly, Roky Erickson, Gibby Haynes, Jimmy Vaughn, Carol Shelby and this dude.
The production is 👌🏽
Awesome video as always Sam...love from India
Manual box in America. Exactly how I expected the gear changes to be 😂
I know right. Can't shift gears for shit, even when the damn thing is gated.
the clutch gets hot fast and starts sticking, like I said drivability problems
@@curlyanoable read the reply wanker lol
joe hoover that’s cool man. I understand that it wasn’t ‘ready’ for the video. But my point still stands in regards to Americans sorry 😂

Every fan should play their part for this incredible FREE content
Cool guy he reminds me of a lot of my dad they did and do a lot of the same things although my dad was a private pilot from age 16 to age 79. He's 91 now
Once again, Great Video !
Wow....I was so impressed w him....then he says he flew P-51s! As a pilot THAT impresses me even more!😎😎👊👊 damn Sam you are killing it!
Yeah Bob Norwood is a badass. I hear Bob, Chuck Norris and Hulk Hogan hang out on the weekends and talk about the good old days when men were men.
Casual mention at that. Would love to hear him on Vinwiki
@@luchacefox259 lolol that would be awesome if true
this man is a legend.
Guys ahead of his time
Yes! I’m moving to Dallas next week. Woohoo
I hope Ferrari executives are watching this video and getting triggered 😂
or getting some ideas...
I wish Vicky would pop in calling you a knob every now and again.... those low caffeine moments and such. ha, classic
Here is my comment to show my support
Those gear changes tho😂 AWESOME stuff!
it was a tight cold transmission had to man handle it some...i was trying to warm it up at the beginning by staying in first
Loving the car specific stuff. Is there any chance we could get some more travel vlog stuff as well?
Go to a travel vlog channel if that's what you want plenty of those. Endless adventure for ex.
Great video. Super organic. Would love to spend a day with bob.
what a guy, thanks for sharing
Your 911 looks very nice👌🏻
someone find this twin turbo f50 he mentioned
Sam has no idea what he's talking about when getting technical, funny to watch!!!! Great vid though!
He isn't very practical, prefers the people to the cars..better than Shmee though
TRUTH SEEKER I appreciate that though shows the love of the people man.
I hear Bob Norwood and only one other name comes to mind immediately: John Carmack
I found my old personal VHS of Carmack’s cars and I posted them up if you are interested.
That guy is crazy. Take Ferrari to the next level
Great original content.
Welcome to Dallas!
