I used to have a Nissan R32 GTR street car with a racing engine in it. It's great stuff of course until it comes to drivability in traffic and maintenance. You can't have everything and there's always a compromise to be had, in this case I'd rather have a usable cammed LS or similar in a street Z06 and then a Vette racecar for track use only.

@racecars.universe I completely get the buyers / builders' remorse. But damn it just sounds so good. That car was chewing up the track. Cheers 🍻 to an impeccable racecar. Would love to see more content on it!
Grant would definitely be happy to hear that. And I agree with you, it caught my eye at the track and got me thinking about buying a C5 Corvette the next day haha
Yeah great to see the hell with cx aerodynamics, I was surprised by the easy overtake by Brennan, I wonder if the Camaro driver made a mistake or mech issue. Imagine a carbon fiber shell of a 66-67 Riviera (maybe too large for the regulations)
it was clear early he was oversteering and he wasn't smooth on the gas pedal (jerking it) cause he didn't trust the tires yet. At the checkered flag overtaking the P2 who didn't give space...I don't know the rules I was worried Brennan would get penalized for stepping on the pits lines.
Believe me when I say it all started as a seemingly random C5 Corvette racecar and quickly turned into the most interesting DIY build I've ever seen. That's why in the video I literally say that Brennan Motorsport is a force to be reckoned with! I'm now really eager to see what results they will pull next season at full potential (they were still testing a few things in this video...)
What an incredible car - not one single ounce of Corvette in it but still absolutely amazing! ...but get rid of those bloody utes from this class! This was getting dangerous.
I am watching this video from Japan.🇯🇵 I felt the essence of Japanese SUPER GT GT500 class cars in the design of the aero parts of this Corvette C5. The V8 sound that revs up to high rpm range with good response is very pleasant to listen to. There are various GT and touring car racing series in Japan, but I was glad to learn about a racing car culture that does not exist in Japan.
@@Kazuki_Aozaki thanks for your kind words and for watching the video. I absolutely love japanese car culture and i find myself agreeing with you on your comment about the GT500 similarities.
Was nice meeting you at the track with the car bro. absolutely stoked too see this video man! Thanks for getting my uncle out there he really deserves more attention
A big thank you to the whole Team actually, you guys made everything so much easier and you were all so welcoming. Definitely waiting for next season to see how it goes!
i think the best part is Brennan is ok going 11 with all that mess on track, good thing he owns the company i reckon, parts cant be cheap for that thing
Thanks Warren, it was amazing to meet everyone at the track. I had lots of fun and was cool to see a proper track weapon ripping hard in the hands of someone as capable as Grant.
@@racecars.universe I mean unique doesn´t mean beautiful :D I have also never seen some shifting a paddle like a stick shift. And without the GCU the engine would have been over reved in basically each corner. You can see that every first down shift is not accepted by the gcu. But if it works for him, who am i to blame.
I wanna see that thing tear up some hillclimbs. It's just begging for pikes peak. Better yet I want that thing in assetto corsa so I can take it on pikes peak lol
I was thinking the same. As a European we love our hillclimbs, only thing to tweak for pikes peak would be the oxygen in the mix for when it reaches the top of the course
The car can actually run over 350KPH and at a speed event ran thru the traps at 327kph with 2 blistered and burst tyres that couldnt take the downforce for the duration of the run (wrong choice of tyre)
@racecars.universe sorry i missed that😔 and thank you for replying. I'm not surprised it can run that fast though. Definitely 'raising adrenalin levels' 🤗😎🤌🙏🙌
Great push in 1st race, what a machine and so much time and thought has gone into this and it shows and sounds like it too.. I still wonder 10k being a bit too high/beyond reasonable return for an LS platform. 9k is already pushing it for most competition engines. Curious what block they are using, cast LS Next or?
The whole build is explained and deconstructed in the first 7mins of video. All your answers are in there, can say it's entirely custom/hand built for a start.
Car is glorious. Seems like the yellow vetted can brake later, get on power sooner, but your car is faster. Too stiff? Too much brake pressure? Too much throttle response? I'm certainly not qualified to answer. Beautiful machine Mr. Brennan. ❤
@@jimtom8273 Remember that the Brennan Corvette was still under testing and had issues with shifting gears and tires not getting to temperature. Imagine it at full potential 😈
Anyone want to notice the first gen Camaro that was freakin smashing it out there? There is no way that doesn’t have a full chassis cuz that car has archaic suspension lol
wait a minute is it me or the car seems and sounds a lot faster in the 2nd race ? Did he change gearing ? This car is the dream of every petrol head. Thumbs up to Brennan!
I swear, all the cars in this make this look like a Forza lobby. Something about the combination of souped up cars along with vintage cars with wings lmao
@@racecars.universe yeah probably but it goes to show Aero only does so much cuz IMO those vettes looked like they were on different levels with the Orange one on Top 🔝 😂😂😂
Grant was having issues downshifting and sometimes not changing into low gear at all and tyres didnt come on till lap 7 and 8 of 10 lap race - this makes it hard Lorraine Brennan
A Franklin or winters quick change rear end would help a lot could really fine tune what rpm you wanted to run and gear sets are way cheaper and faster to swap than 3rd members. Very fast car tho
One can hardly call that a Corvette anymore. It's more a pure race car based on a Vet, since everything, including the chassis has been replaced by a custom tube frame😢 It's still a pretty cool car though 😎
@@racecars.universe to get to 10k rpm it'll have to be destroked to reduce rotational mass so if it's a 5.9 now it had to be bigger to be destroked. It could have been a 6.0 ls2 but I'm not sure the capacity to rpm would match after the destroke. They rev to 7k from factory so for a v8 LS/LT engines are very high revving, but 10k is nothing short of balls to the wall.
@@R6AAO the top end is the hardest part of a 10k LS platform. I was speaking to TSP in person last year about a 9k~ road racing engine for my S2000 and they were already a bit wary of such high RPM use. 10K is basically full solid lifter nascar build. edit: just saw a shot of the block. Pretty sure it's not a stock LS based block, looks like a DART or similar.
@@R6AAO An LS3 would not need to be destroked for 10k rpm, it would just need a good lightweight rotating assembly. Stock rods and pistons would not handle it. I know a guy who's turning an LS7 to 9000 rpm, and that has a 4" stroke vs the LS3's 3.622 stroke. Where it gets difficult is the valvetrain. Gotta spend big bucks to have a stable valvetrain at 10K rpm.
I not fan but this is looks good project sound smooth like Porsche track racing very flat stability aerodynamic very good front back looks so good just well done
I'm not going to overextend and say that you've been converted but I can definitely appreciate your kind words in regards to both fellow racer and engineer Grant and Lorraine Brennan for building such a remarkable racecar worthy of attention.
Really great onboard footage ❤️🙏 But me being NOT a race car driver I do have a probably „dumb“ question: Why is Grant kind of „pumping the brakes“? 🤷🏻♂️ (At least it looks like it to me 🥴) And is there a special reason why he chose to have the up- and down-shifts on the same pedal? (Which I think is not bad at all, tbh I think that‘s really smart 👍) Thanks for the great video, I really appreciate it and all the best from Germany 🇩🇪, Philipp 👋 EDIT: And I do apologize in advance for my nonexistent English „skills“ 🫣🥴
Hey Philipp, you're a legend, thanks for your comment. 1) pumping the brakes is quite common in racing. Sometimes a pad pushes the brake pistons back enough so that when you go braking it takes longer distance to push the pedal. 2) up and down shifts on the same paddle shifter is inspired to karts, a very common feature on those vehicles.
@@racecars.universe Hi! Thank you very much for the explanations to my „silly“ questions 👍 After reading your text it makes sense to me now 😀😉 But the footage was really really awesome, I had my studio headphones on and those screaming V8 was a pleasure to my ears 🥴 You definitely have a new subscriber my friend 👍 All the best, Philipp 👋
As stated on other comments as well, I put it there more as a figure of speech rather than a precise conversion with decimal places too. We also do not know the actual top speed figures of this car
I agree with both of your statements. As I explain at the end of the vehicle presentation part of the video, they had troubles for the whole season, while this specific race meeting got them the best result to date.
My guess is that the gcu is not allowing the down shift as the engine would rev to high and he simply shifts to early because it is basically happening only on high revs.
For the record - a selector bush for the 2 lower gears wasnt allowing the downshift - the bush had become dislodged and was acting as a wedge - would go up gear no problem but down it was wedging - slight design fault that we have remedied. Very observant of you though
The guy in the yellow corvette has a better line than you did. High in low out, that first corner after the finish line you stayed more in the middle and he hugged the wall on his driver side and ran it in harder to that corner. Races are won in the corners, nice ride.
Please remember that, as stated in the video, the Brennan Team is still testing things out. The yellow Corvette is also packing a Toyota Nascar engine.
it seems to me as you guys would be in need of a proper/skillfull driver that can actually push the machine - just by looking at it i can see so more potential..
10k RPM , nearly 900 HP and that incredible tranny they built . I kinda expect more from this car . He is driving it on the ragged edge , there is more here to be had . They have to get that power down more efficiently . Cool car though for sure .
Then you would know that they were still testing and sorting out a few mechanical/electronic issues here and there. Furthermore, an attentive eye would also spot the tires coming into temperature around the last laps of each race. All things that put together makes it for a difficult setup to manage while racing and proof of Grant's ability and skills to adapt to the conditions.

No I do not but I'm sure @LorraineBrennan-ku7dk knows
Cross plane with a Bob weight just under 1500 gms
Why not use the AiM camera footage with data overlay??
Because quality is not what I'm looking for and also that's not the type of video I want to create. That would be too easy isn't it?
@@racecars.universe would have been to nice to see some top speed number.. maybe some lap times? I'd even go crazy and show some "G" forces!!
The guy in the yellow corvette has a better line than you did. High in low out, that first corner after the finish line you stayed more in the middle and he hugged the wall on his driver side and ran it in harder to that corner. Races are won in the corners, nice ride.
Please remember that, as stated in the video, the Brennan Team is still testing things out.
The yellow Corvette is also packing a Toyota Nascar engine.
@@racecars.universe Just an observation, thats all. No shade here, its all about the development.
exactly right - we were having some issues with the car with tyres and trying to get them to work - too hard a compound and gearbox shifting issues
What's the difference between this and a C5R?
Fast car between corners --'
Yes it was impressive to see
it seems to me as you guys would be in need of a proper/skillfull driver that can actually push the machine - just by looking at it i can see so more potential..
300 kmh is not 200 mph. It's 186. That's why a lot of our speed metrics over here go by 0 to 62 mph since 62 is the same as 100 kmh.
10th comment like this 🥱
What series racing is this?
Super V8 NZ
what is the name of this races?
What you mean the name?
i mean, how it is called that type of races.
This Corvette races in a class called Super V8 NZ
This vette sounds like it has a flat plane crank especially racing 10k rpm
It actually doesn't but I get what you mean
Driver: Paul Clarke [edit: yep, it's not Paul, it's Grant driving]
Uuhhhmmm nope. That was the precious video with his '69 Mustang
Oopsies. Yeah this is not Paul, this is Grant Brennan driving it, sorry.
All good brother, means you're watching my videos and I'm happy with that!
10k RPM , nearly 900 HP and that incredible tranny they built . I kinda expect more from this car . He is driving it on the ragged edge , there is more here to be had . They have to get that power down more efficiently . Cool car though for sure .
Another comment form someone that hasn't watched the whole video, drawing conclusions on an approximate impression of how things really went down
@@racecars.universe I appreciate your insight . However I did watch it !
Then you would know that they were still testing and sorting out a few mechanical/electronic issues here and there. Furthermore, an attentive eye would also spot the tires coming into temperature around the last laps of each race. All things that put together makes it for a difficult setup to manage while racing and proof of Grant's ability and skills to adapt to the conditions.
What engine is it if its not a LS?
I mean that's called intellectual property, don't you think?
