    In 1983 or 1984 I was on a 4th grade field trip to Griffith Park Observatory and we got stuck waiting for them to shoot some scenes in the park. We stood around and watched them filming and I got invited to sit in the Coyote between takes. It was the highlight of the summer!

    The original Coyote X from season 1 is just so beautiful to my eye. Even more so than an original McLaren M6 GT. I ignore the VW pan and engine when I say that. I would love to have a custom tube frame chassis one of these with an American V8 and IRS transaxle. Love these star car videos. I have a Gumball Camaro tribute if you ever want to talk about that movie car.

      As tempting as a V8 in that car would be: A bog standard V8, even made from billet aluminum, is just too heavy. How much lead do you want to be moulded into the front bumper? Yes...
      And which Gearbox do you want to use? Porsche G50? These are getting rare as well...
      An air-cooled flat four, brought up to around 150hp will play with a tube chassis and fiberglass panels just fine. Look up what the empty weight of a regular bug is and shave half of it off. That should be a rough estimate on such a kit cars weight. You just have to put some ingenuity into the thermal management. It's enough for show and some little fun here and there. Power to weight ratio and weight distribution are the most important magic equations in car design.

      And you can't possibly mean the Maserati MC12 (it has a V12 and is based on the Ferrari Enzo...and WAY too big). Do you mean the McLaren MP4 12C with it's 3.8L V8?
      Still: A V8 is too heavy in the little chassis of a coyote, especially as a rear engine, like in the bug base. If you could somehow manage to make it a mid engine, that could be another story.

      Back around 2012 I had the chance to buy a Manta Montage from a guy in Omaha. Still kicking myself for NOT doing it. He had it built up with a custom tubular aluminum frame, a supercharged 3800 V-6 from a 2004ish Monte Carlo, painted jet black, and had a spoiler from a 2004 Impala on it. Weighed in at only 1800 pounds and, according to him, had 320HP. Too bad money was tight at the time. $9,500 was a steal for it.

    The Delorean Coyote is a crime. However, s2 and s3 are still watchable due to the fantastic dynamic between Daniel Hugh Kelly and Brian Keith.

    Great video! Watched a couole months ago, and then found Hardcastle and McCormick here on UA-cam (FUZZY TV channel). Loved this show as a kid, and now rewatching 40ish years later its stull a great show. Had to come rewatch your video again now that I'm watching the actual show. 😄

    Will you be doing an episode on the 1st gen Viper used in a short lived TV show called......Viper? Also, there was a show starring Michael Dudikoff in the early 90s called "Cobra" and if memory serves me, Ken Wahl drove one in his show "Wiseguy".

      Most likely a mix of Ferrari and Lamborghini 12 cylinder engine sounds as I mentioned in the video, but wasn't able to find exactly what it was unfortunately. It sounded fairly inconsistent throughout the show however, so was probably a random mix of sports car engines.

    One thing that always sticks in my mind was a stunt jump that features in the intro to the series where the rear axle breaks.

    • @CarStarz42
      @CarStarz42  Рік тому +1

      Yeah, the rear end landing at an angle like that from clipping the other car certainly noticeably dislodged the axle mounting for sure!

    I watched this show as a kid and planted the dream that one day i would own a street legal race car like the cayote. And amazingly i did... not a cayote but a british build Ultima, based on a Lola T70 instaed of the mc laren, but similar exept for having a proper racing engine... But M&M got it a started for me...

    You should do a video on the "Rampage" Bronco that was used. That too, while cool to look at, was not a street runner. In fact, it was not street legal. And after filming, was retired in some warehouse. The only reason the concept SUV was used in the movie was because DJ wanted to drive a Ford and not a Jeep product. (why they did not use a Ford truck is beyond me)

    The stunt car that was in Jay Ohrberg's Museum (which he and his cars are no longer a part of), went from the museum to Riverside, CA where it was on display at Don's Lock & Key until it sold to a buyer overseas several years ago. I put my daughter in that car in her car seat when she was 3 days old.
