Street-trim 1000hp Third Gen Camaro: Clean and Blacked-Out Drag Racing Machine
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- Say what you will about them, but we’ve got a soft spot for a clean third gen Camaro. Especially when it’s home built, in full drag setup, with mirrored twin turbos and just enough street trim to make it feel like a proper car - not some bone rattling racecar. Our pal from Jessie’s Performance brought this damn near perfect customer car out to LS Fest West - and sand storm or not, we had to feature this thing.

I’ve always loved 3rd Gens. Glad people are bringing them back
I’m about to start building one
My very first car was a '91 Formula. Loved it. I just got an '87 T/A Gta. I'm gonna make her perrty.
My lord a car after my own heart. I love this thing so much. My first car was an 84 H.O. with zebra interior. Miss her every day.
Awesome!! I drove my 79 and my 82 in high school, love me some f bodies! Head over to our channel and check out some footage of our other builds!
Ha thats the camaro i got now, with the 5spd too
Back in highschool, a white IROC-Z pulled up in the compound and that really turned heads. The long hood is really something. A family friend also had one back in the day. Truly special 💯
F bodies are my sweet spot! Head over to our channel and check out footage of my personal daily driver; 1400 horsepower 1979 Trans Am 😎
I drove a white Iroc in high school, a maroon 1982 z28 during college :)
I’ve been self teaching welding and wiring, got my old beater functioning reliably. These type of stories kept me going through mistakes and errors. Now I enjoy my beast of burden. Happy to see this new group of people my age rolling in with sick builds from our youth. 🤘🔥😎🔥🤘
These cars are what I grew up on! Had my 79 Trans Am since I was 10! It’s now a 1400 horsepower protouring monster! Head over to our channel and check it out!
@@JessiesPerformance indeed I will
Feed the dream.💯
Got a dark teal 91 RS and I love whenever I see a third gen appear on hoonigan and these types of videos like the DSE-Z, get these cars more attention!
They’re really cool cars! I have a 82 Trans Am that I drove in high school that I’m building into a tune chassis 2000hp drag car for my wife to drive! Check out our videos on our channel of this car, my 1400 horsepower 79 and the 82!
Man everytime I hear the great music at the end of every video it gets me going
It’s a great video!
Larry Chen has been my inspiration to be brave an talk to people about their cars, I like how respectful and attentive he is when he talks to people about things they put all the love and work into. I can tell that he has a real appreciation for other peoples work and is just an awesome host and photographer! Thank you man! I hope to run into you at a meet some day. :)
Larry’s a super chill guy, so glad we met him and hope to be doing more work with him and the other Hoonigan channels!
@@JessiesPerformance Very cool! And again props on the IROC, that looks like something you could outrun the cops in GTA in lol.
I love these cats so much I built a model of one when I was 7 and fell in love then once I turned 16 I had enough money so I bought a 1987 iroc and that thing will never leave my possession
That’s awesome!! I drove my 79 & 82 Trans Am’s in high school! They’re my favorite cars! I still have both these cars! The 79 is a 1400 horsepower twin turbo protour car and the 82 is being build for a tube chassis small tire drag car! Check out both cars on our channel!!
My first car was a 92 RS. 350 automatic. I did a t5 conversion in one night when I was 18. A few years later I bought a 90 RS with a 305 and factory t5. I then built a 355 for it. I love 3rd gens, I’ll never sell either of mine.
That is my dream car right there. Ls swapped third gen. I’d trade my vette for one with no regrets
Hell ya
Damn! That's a dope Camero. The color scheme is rad and I like how it continues into the engine. That shit was clean AF, too. Such a sick build.
Thank you!
Check out my twin turbo 427 1979 Trans Am on our channel! It’s a black and gold car also! Detail is my thing 😎
Love it...IROC Z were iconic growing up in a rural town in the 90's where rat tails and mullets were the social norm.
Hell yeah 🤘 in high school I drove a 82 and 79 Trans Am! I still have both cars; the 79 is a 1400 horsepower protouring monster... Smokey and the bandit style of course! And the 82 is on its way to being a 2000 horsepower tube chassis drag car! Check out footage of our builds on our channel!
spare me the bullshit
@@trillrifaxegrindor4411 Someone woke up and realized their pp in still tiny...
I had a red 92 RS with a 5spd that I thought was cool, even with the worthless 3.1 under the hood. This thing is something special.
The 3rd Gen Z28 I-ROC'S are so vintage🔥🔥🔥🔥 1000 hp! Damn!
So happy I still have my black 1992 still in very good shape
Awesome! They’re great cars! I have an 82 Trans Am I’m building a tube chassis drag car for my wife to pilot! Head to our channel and check out the builds!
Larry....This Iroc is a real sweetheart of an iconic Chevrolet of the 1980s. Thank you very much for showcasing it with the builder. He is very good and just a terrific man.
Definitely my Camaro build goals. I have a 85 Camaro Iroc Z28 t-top
I don’t know what I’m more surprised by. The fact that this thing hasn’t twisted like a taco...or the fact that his bumpers don’t have stress cracks
It’s 1000hp street car and you’re acting like it has a 500” nitrometh blown hemi in it lol
@@nalley6815 these things develop stress cracks with the stock 185hp 305
@@Nun3zDanny3No they don't. The number one enemy of these cars is the level of abuse they receive. I've seen them get stress cracks but it's always with higher power and hard launches. Sub-frame connectors or a cage need to go on if you're adding power. If you are getting stress cracks with no added power you're abusing the hell out of the car.
Five years ago I purchased an 84 Z28 for $350. I had a 350 TPI motor, harness & computer in storage from a 92 Corvette that we dropped in. Cleaned up the body and interior a bit and it was my daily driver for about four years. Wish I had not sold it.
I had an 87 coupe with a 2.8
Wrote that off and got an 88 coupe with 5.0 tbi. Fun cars to drive. They handle well.
Hell ya!
Camaro: has drag lites, huge cowl hood, exhaust sticking out the fender, loud as hell.....
Guy interviewing the builder: i didnt expect it! The car is so subtle!
I own an 89 Iroc Z I put my whole heart into that car, it feels so good to have somewhat of a recognition it's a race car if you really want to send it. But then again slide me in LS swap I love my car😏
Man it doesnt really matter what kind of car it is, you just gotta stop and stare at a clean build! Good job homie!
Thank you!
Check out our channel and see some of the other builds we’ve done! Attention to detail is my thing! 😎
That is an absolute work of art 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
🙏 thank you! Check out some more footage of this and our other builds on our channel!
I was waiting for you to ask about the cooling set up!!! That’s the baddest radiator/intercooler system I’ve seen!!
My buddy is working on a Blue one, has a mean big block with tube front end and 9".. its sick
I’m building my 82 now; tube chassis small tire car! Check out the vids on my channel! Cars going to be FAST! And my wife will pilot it 👍
My compliments to a bad ass interview. Thanks for sharing. Your all right on how cheap you could buy one of those. Mine was a '71 camero Hurst 4sp posi. 396 I bought for 2,800 back in the '70's. Diggin that turbo.
Jessie must be the Human Torch because that build is straight fire
3rd gen love. I've been building my Iroc-Z for a couple years now its finally almost complete. What a fun platform to mod and LS Swap check it out!
This guy always never seems to let me down I love his work
Awesome build!. It appears jessie and i share the same vision for the perfect 3rd gen. Unbelievable.😳
These cars are in fire right now! Get them while you can!
They’re super popular!
Subtle?? Yeah those slicks, fender exit exhaust and missing headlights leading to turbos is completely subtle 😂😂
😂
Super Clean build! Great to see a cool dude like Jessie having much success.
Gorgeous car. Love to see 3rd gens smashing on new muscle.
Its worth it ,these are quite decent chassis.and look very cool.
That is freaking awesome that 4th gen is sick
Third my bad phone likes to type what it wants LOL
Black to the max!! Bad to the bone!!
That is a very clean, very cool 3rd Gen there!! Love it!
Thank you! Check out some of our other builds on our channel!
Oh shit it's Jessie! This 3rd gen is........BEAUTIFUL....
Thank you!
I just brought a 84 z28 t-tops thanks for the ideas
That is an absolutely beautiful Camaro 🤤
Thats a wild Camaro !
I've got an all original 84 Z28 all black with T tops ..
I'm going to get rid of the CCC carburetor and distributor and
go back to basics .
sweet iroc,clean third gen life baby.......im rockin a built 305,it might have 250 but these cars are a good package to build.
They’re a great platform! I’m building my 82 now; tube chassis small tire car. LSX 388 106mm turbo... check out some vids on my channel!
That's a very special car , well done .
Larry absolutely killed it with the still shots on this one. 👌
It’s a great video! There will be 2 more videos by Larry, my 1400 horsepower 1979 Trans Am and an LS swapped BRZ 1000 horsepower drag car!
I have a 1986 stock version of this car.. same color package. This is a beautiful car!
Now this is what im talking about, very nice car. I own a 86 iroc with the same color package. Love the car 👍
I drove a couple of those cars with a manual trans during my rental car heydays in the 80's & 90's when these were out.
I even drove a few Firebirds(essentially the same car)
The one Firebird I drove it down the main road to the airport terminal going about 70mph , got threatened by the police by being dead meat with him but he did not do anything to me and let me off the hook that day. And those cars had the 305 engines at that time.
Yooooo i'm super positive that is the car jessie called in to order our Spohn suspension and chassis parts!! This thing got dope!
I was in elementary school when the first IROC-Z came out. I thought it was every bit as cool as a Countach or Testarossa at the time.
So did I! Such a good looking car 👍
Never, ever do a mediocre burnout. More often than not, your run will suck. Great video as usual Larry!
My mans in the Nike Shox R4 ! Looking like Fred Durst in 2000
Won’t wear anything else. Being on my feet 18+ hours a day the shox do me right 👌
@@JessiesPerformance more power to you sir ! Awesome build, great shoe choice
That is one bad ass car love the Craftsmanship on that car beautifully done
Beautiful machine 😍
Hey Larry, what a great find! Such a beautiful car... I do wish you knew a little more about drag racing... Only because I feel like you left so much on the table. You didn't seem impressed by his 1/8th mile times but that car is crazy fast for not being an all out crazy drag car.. but i still appreciate the video
Best looking car known to mankind. No competition ☝
lol trailer parks. Pretty spot on.
😎
Not only one like I had back in the day, but also makes an old Alabama boy proud to see that tag on the rear. Can someone say if this Jessie's Preformance is in Alabama or not?
Good for this smart young man, beautiful job.
What's with the two different engines in the beginning? One has turbos on each side of the engine, the other has them in the headlight location.
One is probably the builder's car since they say they shot something near the women's restroom first
Good catch! The other pics of my personal 79 Trans Am. There will be an autofocus about it as well!
0:36 yes I was really confused by that
Cool builder. Seems like a genuine guy
Thank you! Check out my other builds on my channel!
Just to show you by simply choosing the right color combo can make a car look good.
Too cool Camero!! Very nice! What is the outro music on your videos??
Haven't seen one of those in a while; well, not as pristine. Love the color scheme too.
Thank you! It’s one of our favorite builds! Head over to our channel to see some track footage! We’re just getting started!
Well*, putting a ' in there makes it mean "we will"
@@aligr3224 wtf. Oh lol I didn't even see that. 🤣 My phone tends to do that all that time to me.
Jessie seems low key, non arrogant builder👍🏽
3rd Gen F-Bodies are some of my favorites
Larry: you built this to look a little more subtle.
Also Larry: cues engine bay shot
Sleeper... hahaha 😂 head to our channel for some track footage of this car and other builds we’ve done! 👍
Had an '86 years ago .... One of the most predictable cars to drift and throw around haphazardly. Awesome car here!
This is such a amazing build, do you have a video showing the parts such as the engine, turbos, how it was assembled and stuff?
Beautiful build 👍
Oh crap didn't know he had a 3rd gen as well, know about his 2nd gen TA.. his stock has gone up in my book!:)
Love me some 3rd Gen! Building a 2000hp tube chassis car for my wife currently. Check out our channel!
I like street car builds like this 💯💪😎💰👍
This cat doesn’t look like a hot rod Dr Frankenstein. But, look at that beast!
I am currently in the process of finishing my 5.3, tko600 swap in my 90 RS. I wish I started with that clean of a car mine is about half as clean as this one.
Beautiful
What a beautiful beast !
Sick! Absolutely sick machine! That car is a beast! If i hit the lottery, I'd offer him a million dollars for that car..
Jessie’s Performance makes so mean machines
One of my dream cars 😍
Back To The Future streaks!
What a beauty
Thank you! Check out some of our other builds on our channel!
BAD ASS CAMARO LOVE IT
Heck yeah smoke them, nice shot out to the funny car burnout king John Force.
This build is amazing.
Finally a 3rd gen
Found you again. I keep changing my profile picture, one of these days when you change yours I'm going to lose you
@@trashbandit2449 haha, the thing is I dont think I will change it
@@kwekumensah5642 good to know. I get bored of what I have too often, the only reason I don't change it every other week is because it's kind of a pain
@@trashbandit2449 haha okay
So sick to see this one also, I saw the trans am video last night!
wait.. you said 1/8th mile the closest track. Are you near Holiday in Blockton? I'm In central Alabama and that's the closest track for me as well and it's 1/8th. If so my cousin used to run there for a long time. When i was 16 I ran my shit box 82 Delta 88 with a few upgrades but was still slow af at Holiday lol good times.
🏁🏁🏁🔥🔥TEAM 3RD GEN. Awesome video🏁
This car screams dragweek
That would be awesome!
I miss both my 3rd gens this is what I was tryna do to mind but beautiful build. 💦🔥
jessie seems like such a cool guy!
Bought a 86 shitbox 3rd gen 2 years ago. Do I regret it?...Absolutely. 😆🤣😂
The gold and black gave me firebird vibes
Check out my 79 Trans Am, gold and black car! 1400 horsepower twin turbo 427 protour car.... vids on my channel!
Building a camaro drift car, and I'm torn between whether I want more support, or for then to stay cheap. I got my first one $1,400 rusty and second built shell $300. To have 3rd gen friends or to be able to afford another if I crash.
You’ll have trouble getting good angle. I tried it; and moved on to a 240. The Camaro wasn’t a good drifter.
@@JessiesPerformance There's already a guy with fully built one thats 100% ripping with only extended control and Jeep steering box. Did you just cut the knuckles?
I didn’t go that far with mine; it wasn’t a serious project for me
It looks awesome, it would look even better if the front set down lower!
That's one clean iroc unit....👌🤌
Thank you!
God my wife n I love these cars SO MUCH n both have always wanted one 💯💯❗❗❗
Damn yes he did a beautiful job you guys baddest ass
Sweet build....
