The "Feeling guilty" about owning a McLaren at 22 and looking at a hard worker in a Civic really made you more human in my eyes. So much respect and humility in those words. I've been a sub for years now(just before Project WAP) and that alone made me like you and your content 100 times more. Stay humble my friend.
This guy sounds like me after 2 engine swaps and countless conversations with car guys. Except in a garage. I'm gonna go in my garage and talk about cars i want in front of my mr2 and fire bird to malke them jealous
1. 2000-02 Pontiac Trans Am WS6, I had an '02 and I've been kicking my ass for selling it since the day after it was gone. 2. Cadillac XLR-V, it's fun to drive and you don't see one at every car show. 3. 1973-77 Chevy Malibu, my first car as a teenager was a 1977 Malibu. 4. Plymouth Prowler. I only have room for one more car right now unless I sell something. I replaced my '19 Corvette Grand Sport with a '21 Mach 1 a couple of months ago because the auto trans in GS kept overheating at the track. I also have an '09 Pontiac G8 GT, 1975 Chrysler Cordoba, and my wife's '04 BMW Z4 in the garage now.
15:12 no lie, I did feel that way. I remember the very day you uploaded the new car video and it was a McLaren. I’m like, damn. That’s kinda far out of my reach. Maybe not so much these days. But definitely made ME feel that way
Hi, Been a viewer of your channel for years. And I just wanted to say, this is one of my favorite series of yours. It makes my day when I get home from work and see that you uploaded a new episode! Keep doing what you do! ❤
I'd personally love to see you build an AWD platform since we've seen RWD and FWD, and you didnt really build much on the WRX engine wise. I'd personally think a Stagea would be a great combo to the Supra, or you could go so many other routes
@@americanmuscle302 Tbh at that point i feel like an eclipse or an Evo would just be a better way to go. Drew speaks very highly of Evos so it might be a good shout
Bought an intercooler for my eclispe that rolled up in a 3rd gen camaro with 2 turbos sticking out the hood it was so beautiful i couldnt stop looking it was complete life goals
@@uhh_itshector9155 plus he already has the pinnacle of the Ls series so why would he go from an Ls9 to a junkyard 5.3 thats more than likely gonna break lmao
@@americanmuscle302 I mean true but it’s like 400$ for a junkyard gen4 4.8/5.3. It’ll put down respectable power boosted SBE with a ring gap. In a light chassis it’ll outrun the vette in the 1/4 as it sits if built correctly for less than a Z06. Record for a SBE 4.8 is like 7.X in a car & 9.X in a truck
Hey drew since you said that you like the 80s aesthetic have you thought about doing a AE86, it has that 80s boxy aesthetic to it and it has a huge aftermarket side to it too, you could make content on it for years probably and because your in Southern California you could import a right hand drive one from Japan. Also love the content please keep it up
Hey Drew it would be so sick if you talked about some good cars in the 40-50k range that are reliable and real sports cars love the videos this one was one of my more favorite vids cuz normally you are a more American muscle kinda guy but seeing u talk about other platforms is really sick
(22:00) You don't know what your missing with a well modified R35. It's a totally different car with 1000hp. It's my current love as you've already featured it early summer 2024.

I have a fc turbo II 10th anniversary. Hopefully I can give you some insight. Turbo IIs are expensive, yes. I don't think they're coming down anytime soon. S5 is slightly better than s4, so shoot for s5. People do 6 port (NA) turbos now (NA+T) but i don't see the cost making sense. You have higher compression and a NA Transmission won't hold up to the 350-400 wheel. Rx8s are really slept on. A cool build that just became available is a ITB build. Projay just released a billet setup for it. Back to turbo IIs, if you do go for them the common spots for them to rust is (as most other cars) under the battery tray, spare wheel location, the hatch itself, and where the sunroof drains including the sunroof itself. Parts are expensive, but the car is worth it. Find someone who understands and take your time purchasing. Get a compression tester, pressurize the coolant system as bad coolant seals are annoying on a rebuild, and have fun with it. Happy to answer any questions you may have.
3rd Gen mullet Mobile 🤮. They are a reason they are dirt cheap vs The Foxbody. You clearly don’t know what you are talking about on the Foxbody. The Performance for a Fox is definitely there. They weigh nothing, the aftermarket support is HUGE. You can swap on a 351w, LS and have tons of power. Not that you need it since they weight nothing! You can turbo it and have globs of power. Not sure what you are talking about. Obviously the reason they are Raced, Drifted,Autocross is for a good reason. The platform is incredible for Racing.
I’m 100% an American muscle guy but I have a strange soft spot for the rx8 and I have no clue why
NFS Carbon?
merge the two and put an ls into the rx8
Yeah that’s fucking weird
They look decent
thats me but with the 3000GT

Big yes on the iroc camaro.
i'm actually planning on buying one next month for my dad's 58th birthday. the iroc was his very first car when he was 18.

Thought you would've ran out of topics by now god job keeping it up

Get a Caprice PPV or Chevy SS GET A HOLDEN!
As a kid before I knew anything about cars I always loved how the rx8 looked for some reason
1. 2000-02 Pontiac Trans Am WS6, I had an '02 and I've been kicking my ass for selling it since the day after it was gone.
2. Cadillac XLR-V, it's fun to drive and you don't see one at every car show.

4. Plymouth Prowler.

The 3rd gen Camaro is my dream car. I just picked one up 3 months ago and its my daily! Love my shitbox.
11:10 that’s what I’m doing with my 2009 Camry LE
I don’t have to dry my Audi D3
G37S coupe 6 speed.
Or Escalade.
I love my Camry
Get a 03/04 cobra !

Absolute mad respect for you.
loved my rx8 such a fun chassis
God do NOT get a hornet
Please for the love of god do a junkyard LS build

Probably the wouldn’t do it bc it won’t make sense well at least financially speaking

@@slowLFX bruh power aint everything. plus he already has 3 powerful cars
need to see the stang go vs a big turbo m340 or something. those b58s can get sub 3 second 60-130s
F30 335XI is the sweet spot for bmw imo for daily use
Also Jorked it to this
You look exactly like the driver from nfs hot pursuit 2010
no just no FLOCKERS?!?!? drew n0 lmaooo
finally someone who agrees with me on the foxbody take - as a mustang owner whos owned several including a foxbody
Eclipse gsx gives you a awd platform
Built an Infiniti FX45. Such a sleeper, looks like normal traffic but comes with a 5.6 V8.
Drew i absolutely love these videos. Don't stop making them
Hot take i love the c3 Corvette, me like long cars lol. If i had things my way id have a duesenberg model j
You should go to LS fest west

Truck would have to be a ford lightning for me
Join the AWD gang and buy an Evo
Need to see you go awd

How do you feel about the trailblazer ss
And it’s funny how you have to do all that work on the Honda and the Toyota but the Ford and the Chevy just be running fine
the ssr is badass
M340 xdrive make a dig car
Drew when are you gonna build a classic muscle car? Pre 73
Try a Q&A
Please for the love of God buy an fc rx7
I agree 💯
I second this action , or the FB , either one is good
I prefer the FC over the FD
Are you a fan of the Pontiac WS6 Trans Am?
Debt for cars will always be braindead lol
Drew needs a Raptor R
Would you ever get a 5th gen Camaro?
Never been this early 👀
I prefer the corvette over the McLaren
the 718 cayman gt4 w/ the flat 6 is way better than the 911 in every way
What you experienced in the mclaren is referred to as "imposter syndrome".

as a mustang owner and former foxbody owner, think u missed the point when he said those cars need money to be great. and hes right
@ He isn’t right tho. I’ve had 17 of these car and currently have 2. A 89 and a 86 with a Turbo 408. In stock form they are fun.
@@antiricergt Holy fuck 17? You know you don't need to buy a new one every time the engine runs out of fuel right? 😂
Drew buy a f8x m3/m4 please this channel needs a German
Ecoboost mustang say you want to buy an Ecoboost mustang and build it to 600+ horsepower 😫
The new gt3s would smoke so many things
I just came to this. Thanks.
