4:47 - 1965 Chevrolet - Nice! Emissions exempt. Seriously though, I hate auto laws. I can't change seats to get more headroom, because that would mean removing airbags, but this is okay, and there's a lawyer in Dover driving an old NASCAR around, and that's okay.
@@kmac720 There's a greek guy on youtube who's done the LFX swap on a mx-5 and takes it to the ring. I honestly think its the best combination of weight, power, reliability and torque you can get on an mx-5 - the rocketeer is a better supported/sold mod, but frankly I'd rather have a GM v6 than a Jag V6 just for parts availability and reliability.
Daniel is a great guy, met him at a car show. I expressed interest in building one of these. He let me sit in his Exocet, answered all of my questions about the build, and because I was so excited about it, he even offered to let me drive it. Really cool to see true car enthusiasts out there willing to share their hard work with others. THANKS AGAIN Daniel!!
Zack- what a great episode. The car was entertaining on its own, but your wit and enthusiasm for the car really made it. Keep at it man, this one was fantastic.
y Bratton a lot of people hate on the sound of the vq but I like it too. I like how distinctive it is. You can hear one coming down the street and know what kind of car it is before you see it. Kinda like the EJ in the subarus.
Sounds so amazing. Too many hours went into that build. Can't wait to see the bodykit. Brave man, to let zack klapman shred through the backroads of livermore.
Zack's coming into his own with this one. This is right up there with the superbike-powered N600, Karl Puth's LS Jag, etc. Great drive, great owner, hilarious commentary, fucking mental car. More of this please!
This build gives me motivation to work on my own exocet which has been sitting in the garage untouched for 2 years :(. I don't have a fancy Camaro V6 in the garage, though, just a regular NA motor. So many questions about choices he made, he's located in same are as me, maybe I'll look him up or something. I'm surprised I don't see him on the Exocet FB group. This thing is so fucking awesome with that 300hp V6, glorious build. Will be much more fun than the 120 or whatever I have in mine, and even that is enough to cook the tires through 2nd gear.
Matt’s new stunt Stig?Its nice to see somebody use that engine . I would bet the auto wreckers sell them cheap . A manual steering rack will drop another 20lbs.
the act says vehicles built using sb-100 are not for resale....but if you will remove the serial number... and go to dmv... and tell them its newly built....would that work?
I liked how you talked about the car before driving it instead of while driving it. It always seems like both you and the owner are so distracted by driving the car that the conversation is just awkward.
Back in the late 80's I had a local race shop put a V-6 in my Opel GT. Not gonna lie, that was a fun car. I asked if it was something they thought they could do and the guy laughed at me. He said we put a 454 in one, I think we can fit a V-6. I wante a rotory engine but they refused to do it. And he gave me a list of reasons why I wouldn't want to anyway that made sense. He said trust us, a V-6 will work better, be cheaper and we will make it look like it came that way. He was right. Cost me like 2 grand to have it done. And don't panic, it wasn't a nice Opel. I paid 600 bucks for it and it had issues where it couldn't be restored. Like for startes the interior was trashed and you really couldn't get the parts to fix it. Wish I could have kept it but I got married and we know how that goes lol.
@@TheSmokingTire Zack you do a great job with these reviews, but this one reminds me of Matt in the Lamborghini almost getting logged. Keep up the good work!
No way. I have a race chassis with the Miata 1.8L. 15K for the kit, coilovers, tires and seats maybe. Having said that, even at 25 grand this is a freaking steal.
I drove an electric buggy but the weight balance was different, and the steering was super heavy because the control arms were a few feet long. I'd say it was a very different experience, but scaffolding and power is a real good time, no matter the surface you're on. ZK
I used to listen to TheSmokingTire Podcast years ago. Zack always made me chuckle with his clever jokes and tends to know his stuff; Matt, however, when drunk - which he regularly was - constantly laughed out loud at his own jokes and was arrogant & interruptive as fuck towards his team and some guests. I must have listened to 80 podcasts or so; it was informative, and a hilarious podcast at times, but Matt being just too overbearing is what veered me away. That said, Matt's professionalism on the YT platform is/was excellent. I just hope Zack gets the attention and love that he deserves -- he's a humble, intelligent and hilarious motherfucker.
Call me crazy, but I feel like this calls out for a Subaru 6 cylinder boxer engine - you could get the weight lower and they are known to be very reliable.

10/10 on sound it being a v6 , kinda sounds like a 370z engine but a bit more subtle
Fryingpan I thought the same thing when it pulled out early in the video. Kind of a VQ ish sound but a little less trumpety
Kinda like any other "new" 60 deg. V6.
@@justinturner4850 now that you said that, VQ's do sound kind of like a trumpet lol. Still one of the better sounding v6's imo

@@justinturner4850 exactly. And I think they're pretty stout engines. I've heard they go through a lot of oil but they love making power

Zack...you are a true master of analogies. I don't know how you think of some of the things you say...but I appreciate it greatly...lol.
LOL California, where an Exocet is road legal with a V6 but not a full-bodied Miata.

I love this guy a true mad lad. Cant wait to see you out at Sonoma. Currently saving for my exocet
That’s awesome! I’d love to see it on the track!
People say Miatas are go karts for the street- I think this is
I wonder if this could be done with with ecoboost from the mustang. The 10sp would be stupid fast, obviously the stick would be more fun.
Matt’s new stunt Stig?Its nice to see somebody use that engine . I would bet the auto wreckers sell them cheap . A manual steering rack will drop another 20lbs.
Very cool. If I could pick and choose I would want an ecoboost from a wrecked mustang. 310 - 330 hp 4cyl turbo. Yeah, that's my jam.

What road is this in NorCal?
If it's not Mines Rd southeast of Livermore, CA, then it's a similar road nearby. There are better roads around the Bay, but Mines is pretty good.
Definitely Mines Road in Livermore. Great road but lots of bicyclists if you go at the wrong time so be careful.
