Right . Its why you see so many 600hp cars wrecked with low miles. People used to driving a 200hp car and then jump in these corvettes and camaro's and hell cats ect and the horse power difference is nothing like they have ever known. Then you bump it another 400hp thats impressive considering I have friends with 600hp drag cars running 10.20ish quarter mile times. Nice dang car
@@kellysmith1516 Yeah speed is something you have to become accustomed too. Over time. I mean I remember what it felt like when I had 160HP in a Civic it felt awesome did 14s in that thing. Then a CRX with 195 HP and that felt super fast 13.6 car. Then the GTR 550 HP 11.86 Car.

I personally just don’t appreciate butterflies like that and it makes me not want to be a passenger in a fast car, combined with being nervous when being nervous when someone else is driving it makes it not fun. But driving feels completely different and I’ve driven high horsepower cars. 2020 GT500, 2019 ZL1. (honestly depends on level of expertise, this guy from lmr looks very used to this lol)
This was similar to the videos of a fighter pilot taking someone for a ride. Similar preparation and expression before they hit the G’s. Absolutely awesome, congrats doc. Work hard, play hard.
Shop guy is finishing up a doctors valve job and asks the doctor why he gets 16 valves replaced for 3-K and the doctor would charge 100-K to fix one heart valve? the doctor thinks for 1/2 minute and said, try it with the engine running.
Being a passenger is always way more Scarry because you are literally along for the ride with zero control of anything. I've driven 800+HP cars but riding in a 650 hpcar with another person driving scares me more.
Absolutely. I have a ZO6 but I've never been a passenger in but I let my brother-in-law drive my Stingray before I sold it and he scared the hell out of me lol but it didn't help that he hadn't driven stick in a while and I should have never let him drive it
Steve still looks like 10 years ago. Sharp dude. Some people don't age. I had a friend who was 35 and still looked like 17 and he had knowledge of a 50 year old man. :-)
Lol I was thinking the same thing. I remember watching a video with him in it like 10-13 years ago on Supraforums and I'm just now seeing him again recently and I'm like damn this dude looks the exact same!
That Vette is one badass ride. I had a 2012 Volkswagen golf R, that I built up to a stage two, Less the oversized turbo, It was putting out 356 HP to the wheels. I decided not to put the bigger turbo on, because I did not think I would have my licence very long. Loved the power though. I can't imagine something with 1200 HP. Great build guys and excellent video. Thanks, have a safe week.
Dr Scary looked a little "scared". That car is awesome. If an when I get a car to be built, it's going to LMR. I have an old 2011 CTS-V but I'm looking forward to a new C8 Z06. Thanks for the Vlog.
Congrats Doc, it's alot more than you thought and intimidating but believe me you will be fine and love every time you crank it up. Excellent job as always LMR!👍👍
I really like the shop showing all this and the time that goes into all the build. But nothing can top the expressions of Dr. -- SCARED. He kept looking to see how fast. Must be a SUNDAY DRIVER. Not even a 1,500 HP BUILD could. LOVED IT
Nah, video just cannot capture the G's, I promise you it would feel butt clenchingly brutal actually experiencing that for real. I've driven some fast cars in my life but a 1000+ bhp beast like this would very likely still have the same effect on me. If that wouldnt wake you up, you must run something like a Buggati Chirion as your daily driver.

Steve no doubt knew what he was doing. There was much more off camera. What was off camera was Steve instructing me on how to tame this beast! Outstanding instructor he is.
You just gave that man the best gift he's ever received in his whole entire life and I believe that wholeheartedly!

Sir my hat's off to you. I would give a Year's paycheck the field that kind of power come out of my Camaro LOL but after a house fire just recently... Things like that will have to just wait gears down the road. Once again this was awesome to see!
I’ve had that happen exactly once. Back in high school I had a 73 z28 with the original engine, but it was bored, blue printed, balanced, head work. I was notorious for driving it like a grandma when I had people in the car with me. I took one of my buddies for a ride. About 20 minutes of low speed cruising he finally convinced me to open it up. So I hit the on-ramp on the highway, dropped a gear and laid the throttle to the floor. I hit the end of the ramp and merged at a song in top of 3rd gear near redline. There was a car in the cruising lane and just as I hit the highway the person cut lanes right in front of me. I had maybe 3 car lengths to react. Old cars like that, there isn’t many options, got tiny discs up front and drums in the rear. So all I could do, was lock down the fronts, downshift to get the rears loose and walk it sideways to avoid slamming into the ass end of some little old lady’s Buick. Somehow I saved it from hitting guard rails or her car, even more surprising the motor didn’t detonate and I kept it on asphalt the whole time. My buddy was singing praises that it was me driving and not somebody else because there was no way anyone should have been able to save it. After that I lost all interest in going fast
I know that part of town, with lots of distracted drivers, etc. I love fast cars and driving fast, but driving and accelerating that fast on a test drive on those roads was just not smart. There are plenty of country roads within 10 minutes of there that would have been infinitely more appropriate.
Wow, what a wicked, wicked build. I've never really been a "GM Guy," but I have always had massive respect for what GM does with the Vette. Bang for the buck, that car punches hard, and way above its weight.
I love when I get that reaction from a customer. Guy looking Like "Holy isht. What have I done? Did I go to far with this build?" That expression and him trying to keep his cool. Priceless.
Yall r tripping he absolutely loves this much power he said how happy he was hes been bored with whatever he's had before so he went literally to achieve this feeling... I say fucking rock on Doc.
Love the video , I bought my 2019 zo6 last month and it’s scary and it’s stock just corsa with X pipe . Can’t imagine what 1200hp feels like wow .. but guy is right corvette will adjust to how you drive it . I actually I drifted mine on a 45mph on a on ramp at 70mph with out trying freaked out thought I was gonna crash out but car fixed itself like it knew where I wanted to go . Guess you’d have to be a corvette owner to know what I’m talking about ..
The wing is from Extreme Online Store. They shipped me the stabilizers and I have them. They will be installed when the car comes home. This will prevent the wing tips from dipping at high speed. Good Eye!
I remember watching an episode of street outlaws a few year ago with LMR as the changers, In my opinion LMR had TRUE street cars that were fast as hell. As soon as I hit the lotto , LMR will be my pick to build my car. Nice job gentlemen👍😎
"You wanna do one more?” "Nah, I think I'm good.” That tells me all I need to know about how long he'll own that car. He bit off more than he can chew.
Lol, Dr. Scary, his face says it all, he been wanting that feeling his whole life, he must have been one of those kids that wasn't allowed to do those crazy and wild things most of us were allowed to do. Get it Dr. Badass... Sweet car man!

Things like that will have to just wait gears down the road. Once again this was awesome to see!
A house fire kinda has a way of prioritizing things. It could have been worse. You lived to tell.
The scariest part of driving that fast, is the thought of someone up ahead pulling into your lane.
what I kept thinking
I’ve had that happen exactly once. Back in high school I had a 73 z28 with the original engine, but it was bored, blue printed, balanced, head work. I was notorious for driving it like a grandma when I had people in the car with me. I took one of my buddies for a ride. About 20 minutes of low speed cruising he finally convinced me to open it up. So I hit the on-ramp on the highway, dropped a gear and laid the throttle to the floor. I hit the end of the ramp and merged at a song in top of 3rd gear near redline.
There was a car in the cruising lane and just as I hit the highway the person cut lanes right in front of me. I had maybe 3 car lengths to react.
Old cars like that, there isn’t many options, got tiny discs up front and drums in the rear. So all I could do, was lock down the fronts, downshift to get the rears loose and walk it sideways to avoid slamming into the ass end of some little old lady’s Buick.
Somehow I saved it from hitting guard rails or her car, even more surprising the motor didn’t detonate and I kept it on asphalt the whole time. My buddy was singing praises that it was me driving and not somebody else because there was no way anyone should have been able to save it.
After that I lost all interest in going fast
I know that part of town, with lots of distracted drivers, etc. I love fast cars and driving fast, but driving and accelerating that fast on a test drive on those roads was just not smart. There are plenty of country roads within 10 minutes of there that would have been infinitely more appropriate.
Bravo, for the new owner, worked hard many years, deserved his reward.
His face was priceless when they did the first pull. You see him quickly looking at the speedo. 🤣
Wow, what a wicked, wicked build. I've never really been a "GM Guy," but I have always had massive respect for what GM does with the Vette. Bang for the buck, that car punches hard, and way above its weight.
Mr. Strickland lost his huevos in the seat when the boost came in😂
I love when I get that reaction from a customer. Guy looking Like "Holy isht. What have I done? Did I go to far with this build?" That expression and him trying to keep his cool. Priceless.
A guy that’s scared of his own car???? Yep lmr did their job
It always feels worse as a passenger
@@stepbro4978 this x10
Gee, maybe the guy didn’t want the guy constantly doing pulls on his car?
I love that color. Car sounds ridiculous too. Not mistaking whats attached to that motor at the redlight 💪
Yall r tripping he absolutely loves this much power he said how happy he was hes been bored with whatever he's had before so he went literally to achieve this feeling... I say fucking rock on Doc.
Love the video , I bought my 2019 zo6 last month and it’s scary and it’s stock just corsa with X pipe . Can’t imagine what 1200hp feels like wow .. but guy is right corvette will adjust to how you drive it . I actually I drifted mine on a 45mph on a on ramp at 70mph with out trying freaked out thought I was gonna crash out but car fixed itself like it knew where I wanted to go . Guess you’d have to be a corvette owner to know what I’m talking about ..
Yup. Sure do lol. Waiting for some warmer weather so I don't spin thru 100 mph
Driver looked like he was doing 50 mph...
So calm!
After the 10th 1000hp build, it starts to become predictable with his muscle memory 💪
yeah this is dr Smith... yeah the car runs great was just wondering how much to re build it to the 500 hp level?
23:10 the person in the cruze proably like wooo thats fast 😳
😂😂😂
On the first rear view pass did that lay rubber patches twice on shifts? 2 times i saw posi tread marks on the road behind.
Love the content!!!! Keeping us entertained through the HP!
That shop will be flooded with new Customers after seeing that dudes reaction. That good advertising right there👍
The feeling in the passenger seat is way diff than the driver seat LOL :)
For sure. Something about being in control makes it less extreme 🤘
You can see the edges of the wing being pushed down @20:28 !
The wing is from Extreme Online Store. They shipped me the stabilizers and I have them. They will be installed when the car comes home. This will prevent the wing tips from dipping at high speed. Good Eye!
That’s a cool torque wrench! 👍
I remember watching an episode of street outlaws a few year ago with LMR as the changers, In my opinion LMR had TRUE street cars that were fast as hell. As soon as I hit the lotto , LMR will be my pick to build my car. Nice job gentlemen👍😎
The Doc has a pucker factor of 11 and the guy next to him is just out for a Sunday drive.
Dan is definitely a smart man getting 1200 hp I would call that vette mustang killer great video guys
Shout out to street speed 717! Love that dude.
Congrats on an awesome piece of American machinery. The look on your face is priceless.
I love watching a true craftsman at his trade.
"You wanna do one more?”
"Nah, I think I'm good.”
That tells me all I need to know about how long he'll own that car. He bit off more than he can chew.
I hope he got to grips with his car by now lol
I love how they sealed the job with a fist bump 😂job well done / 24:46
Definitely like the camera pointing forward from the front windshield please use that more often.
Night Race Blue! Very nice!
"Ya wanna go again?"
"Ya know, I think I'm good." LOL.
Mr Big Ball: "gimme all the horsepower!"
Also Mr Big Balls: 😢
I can’t wait to take my C7 ZR1 into LMR for all the goodies! My palms sweat every time I watch these videos.
I love his reaction 😂. Congrats it’s sick!
Lol, Dr. Scary, his face says it all, he been wanting that feeling his whole life, he must have been one of those kids that wasn't allowed to do those crazy and wild things most of us were allowed to do. Get it Dr. Badass... Sweet car man!
he bout damn near made his soul leave his body in that intro XD
Nice rolling burnout! I’d say you guys did the trick with his car. Incredible.
May you to do more videos scaring the customer with the new O-sh!+ power upgrades y'all do to there car?. The look on their faces are funny.
That’s insane, the exhaust tone is insane when grabbing gears. 👊
Me after seeing that torque wrench...
"Honey, I know what I want for Christmas!"
Man that is truly a dream!!!😁 God bless the guys with the skill to do that work as well as the owners of those beautiful cars!!!
He's going to ship it back to get that 800hp package instead. Lol
Going to leave the 1037+ whp. I'll get used to in very slowly. Steve is a great instructor on how to drive his builds.
@@JCSPHD GOOD !!! No sense in NOT taming this beast !!!!
Great Mechanic, he keeps working while he talks, not a BS time waster
I’m not gonna say how fast I was going on camera but we hit 145 pretty quick. Lol
Dan’s my favorite guy , quiet just doing his thing
Just curious as to how much money one would have to drop to get this kind of performance?
In this particular configuration.
$20,000-$30,000 bucks
damn nice ride - love that cam and the corsa exhaust, good choice.
I get the feeling Dan's not keen on up-close filming while he's working .
....kinda has that "...Fer about the last G.D. time you asshole...get that MOTHERFU#KIN' THING OUTTA MY FACE!!!" look. I was checkin that too. To: Dan
From: All of us blackened-hands-on, blue collar types...
Be patient, there's a reason why dude's runnin' the Camera and NOT...say...slipping the drivers' side head on perfectly perpendicular to the studs (looks like you might've done that once or even twice before? HA - 👍👍).
Ya think? 😂
Bro thing was moving the jack on the dyno impressive.... great work guys... the guys face was priceless...
That's one bad C7🔥
That is the exact response you want from a ride along. Well done LMR.
Pretty badass when you can scare the big dog.
Loved that. New to your channel. Well done from Wales guys. Another satisfied customer. And your customer seemed very cool. 👍
Did he say he like the bill or build lol.
The man nearly had a heart attack
I like the subtle smirk on the driver's face when he's pushing into it.
