Probably the way it hops around when it goes over a bump. When I first got my car someone had put in an aftermarket suspension and didnt adjust the back at all. The back was stiff as hell and hopped around...sketchy was one was way to describe it.
It's sad that just those little things like the throttle and brake response held you back from properly testing this car because the engine and the aesthetics are just on point. I hope they get this sorted, because this thing is the best modern interpretation of a classic muscle car that I have seen so far.
It's a 100% custom retro-mod... so at a minimum 100k at the low end. The owner of the car did a lot of the specialized machining of the parts on the car, so I suppose he "saved" some money there since he owns a machine shop.
Man, because of the vacation I saw this car FIRST on Jay Leno's garage! The owner owns a machine shop. All the interior machined parts you talked about, he made for his own car! He did the bumpers too, it's an amazing build! The owner drove it on Jay's channel and had the same throttle complaint you had.
My '92 Viper jumped around like that over the smallest bumps. Made it very scary under power like this and with only 40% of the power lol. Ring Bros know how to build a car though. Gorgeous interior and loving the wheels :)
The Ring Brothers can fabricate and build anything. It does not matter what they start with, the end product is always, a gorgeous piece of "Rolling Art!" Ring Bros create a masterpiece, every time they touch a car! Damn are they gifted! Cheers from Western Australia!
Welcome back Matt!! Jay Leno had this car on his channel a few days ago and he had the same complaint about the touchie throttle. I KNEW you would give it a better workout then he did though! Great video!
I don't even like classic cars but OMG! That car looks amazing! It reminds me of what singer did for the 911 in terms of design but the suspension needs a miracle for all that bounce...
Imagine if the Ring Brothers had a competent test driver modulating the car, before external journalists had a go. Can only recommend Le Mans winner John Nielsen, he testdrove the McLaren F1 GTR, the chief test driver job during the development of the Bugatti Veyron and other cars. You guys are so incredible at your work, do not leave journos with half a project,
Interesting to see that this video came out today a week after Jay Leno's Garage, and JLG posted the Dinan V8 BMW 1M which Matt tested a while back. People think a live-axle Mustang is scary over bumps and uneven pavement, this is a death trap waiting to happen in it's current suspension setup. Once it gets sorted though this car will destroy at time attacks, road course racing, and even drag strips. I'm still amazed how well it hooked up in the lower gears after that 3pt. turn.
Yeah that is the laugh of someone about to wholycrap themselves. :P The force and speed of that thing must be insane then top it off the the overly sensitive throttle, while going over bumps, would make anyone sound two octaves higher :)
100% agree. If I was going to all this effort, I'd definitely have gone with an independent rear suspension. Hell, if I was this deep in a project, I'd have done pushrod suspension too, just to say I did!!
The detail is incredible... Interior, exterior, engine bay. Everything looks so good. But seeing that amount of work, I would think it logical to go the extra mile and throw in a proper IRS setup based on something like the modern cadi's seeing as they apparently handle very well with similar mass. It seems contradictory to see this thing bounce like that and everything's been touched. A good IRS would just complete the package to perfection. What a car.
In regards to UA-cam videos, this guy is a pretty good driver. Many do not get that you stick to a turn by downshifting. His shifting was pretty good as well. he also knew not to overdrive when driving into the sign. A very wise decision.
AT 9:00 Best section of the video: Every car should sound like that on shifts. What a glorious growl that thing makes. I would drive around in two gears too high just to down shift everywhere I went. I would wear out the shiftier linkage just driving around town LOL :P
Ok ignorant people true quality cost - it's over a 2 Mil build. Just needs to be dialed in. Went from SEMA to the west coast. Customs take a lot of time to tune in every way. Think about how many hours normal vehicle manufacturers put into the vehicle they make. Ring's are pure artists. The best of the best
Lots of comments dissing this car -- but it's beautiful, and obviously has huge potential. Looks like it just needs setting up properly as anything this extreme always does -- damping rates, springs, brakes and throttle to pedal That can all be achieved. A build like this will surely have very high-end multi-adjustable components. It just all needs to be dialled in. And then... Look out! :0)
That interior is beautiful, especially that wheel and instrument cluster. Almost Pagani-esque
Henry Kincaid that's exactly what I was thinking.. all of that machined metal
Henry Kincaid looks swiss made
Henry Kincaid umm no. Please don’t ever compare an American car interior to a Pagani.
That engine bay is incredible.. car looks super sketchy tho. Props for being able to talk while driving that monster
Carguments all that power. A good 600-700hp would have spot on.
just out of curiosity, what did you mean by "car looks super sketchy tho".
It means its looks untrustworthy
Grandmaster Buu how so?
Probably the way it hops around when it goes over a bump. When I first got my car someone had put in an aftermarket suspension and didnt adjust the back at all. The back was stiff as hell and hopped around...sketchy was one was way to describe it.
the sound of the super charged ls3 is so soothing like gawd damn it sounds amazing.
That looked absolutely frightening to drive.

I hope they get this sorted, because this thing is the best modern interpretation of a classic muscle car that I have seen so far.
DSP "Aesthetics are on-point..." Yeeeeah.... 😄
well the biggest problem isnt brake or throttle. Its the zero tuned chassie. Super oversprung and not enough dampening.
Check out their other projects.. Ring Brothers make some outrageous stuff
Have heard these guys lack in the suspension tuning of their cars.
Is the car supposed to bounce around so much? it looks unstable to me
Whew, a new upload! I was starting to get the shakes here.
This video is incredibly badass. California sunset in the canyons with enough torque to uproot a house.
I love Matt, cause he always makes it clear when a car drives like shit.
I love his honest take on a car
Glad to see you back! And something by ringbrothers is an awesome start!
thedownshiftchannel bloody hell, I see you everywhere on UA-cam
ScrappyCoco we try to comment to support all the channels we watch!
thedownshiftchannel Good man!
realy though
one of the most beautiful cars out there, they nailed it
"Big power! BIG POWER!"
Man, what a blast. My favorite episode in a long time, Matt.
Thank God one takes are back. My mornings are finally normal again
It seems like a car show car, not a drivers car.
Beat me to it. And over priced I am sure =/
Drives like shit
It's a 100% custom retro-mod... so at a minimum 100k at the low end. The owner of the car did a lot of the specialized machining of the parts on the car, so I suppose he "saved" some money there since he owns a machine shop.
+Vax Buster When did they let you drive it? Fucking kids lol
Matt was bouncing around, like a kid in a pram. It looked terrible to drive and cornered like a boat
The morning looks amazing for a drive
This video was actually shot around 430 PM in California haha.
TheSmokingTire You said Good Morning!haha
hands down the most beautiful engine bay I have ever seen! I would pull up a chair and watch it like a TV if I owned it
FINALLY MY LIFE IS BACK AND COMPLETE. WE'VE MISSED YOU MATT
Glad you're back at it man!!
The way Matt was bouncing around in this thing doesn't make me want to daily this, but looks beautiful. That interior!
who wouldn't like to start a new year that way? glad you are back Matt. and with the ultimate Camaro.
Every downshift gave me chills down my spine

He did the bumpers too, it's an amazing build! The owner drove it on Jay's channel and had the same throttle complaint you had.
And 2017 just got a whole lot better, welcome back Matt.
I'm always astounded at what the Ring Brothers can do and the amazing quality of their work, that Pantera was sick!!
Jay Leno also recently did an overview of this car here on youtube.
Māris Samats ....where it was also brutalized in the comments section. 😄
+Terry Hesticles I like how at least matt tried to put all the problems lightly lol
Fuck Jay Leno and his glass jaw/chin.
My '92 Viper jumped around like that over the smallest bumps. Made it very scary under power like this and with only 40% of the power lol. Ring Bros know how to build a car though. Gorgeous interior and loving the wheels :)

Today, Jay Leno reviews a car that was driven by Matt in an episode of Tuned, and now Matt One Takes a car that was on Jay's channel just last week
I'm so happy these are back.
welcome back Matt glad to have my coffee and your videos for the start of my day
Good Morning Matt. Welcome back we've been waiting for you!! It's cold in VERMONT!
So glad you're back! Never go on vacation again!
Wow That engine bay the cleanest I've seen ! Everything on this car look high . Spared no expense !
And he's back! Hope you had a great vacation! We all missed you.
That view is breathtaking.
Stoked to have my mornings back. Holidays suck without TheSmokingTire.
That has to be the cleanest engine compartment I have ever seen. Glorious !
Needs a lot more suspension tuning. Way too bouncy.
Yea, like different springs.
When you driving 1000hp so you step your flannel game way up, looking very fly buddy.
That's a sound!
HELL YEAH Ringbrothers represent WISCONSIN BABY!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍
Welcome back Matt, we missed one takes a lot.
I genuinely thought that the preview pic is a car rendering and not the actual car. That spotless it looks.
The scenery is amazing.
That is one beautiful car inside and out. I've always loved the old Camaros and Mustangs.
Very impressive, love how they still kept he "old school" look inside and out!
Glad to see you back! Hope you had a great holiday.
Not sure if you changed anything but the quality on this one is amazing
just really nice time of day. shot this about 10 mins before sunset.
This is how the new gen Camaro should have looked like.
OMG. So far the best custom camaro i ever see.
Good to have you back!
Look how beautiful those canyons are at dusk. Sheesh.
Nice modern take on an iconic classic muscle car
Welcome back Matt!! Jay Leno had this car on his channel a few days ago and he had the same complaint about the touchie throttle. I KNEW you would give it a better workout then he did though! Great video!
Glad you're back Matt!
You and Jay Leno reviewing the same cars, I would say you have arrived sir! What a car!
I love your honesty in your reviews.
Good Lord it looks difficult to drive. I agree 100% that with a little fine tuning, that thing will be a BEAST! Welcome back Matt!
Welcome back after your break. Hope it was relaxing. This car looks like a monster
"I'll bring it back in one piece!" ... Then stalls LOL good to have you back Matt !
I don't even like classic cars but OMG! That car looks amazing! It reminds me of what singer did for the 911 in terms of design but the suspension needs a miracle for all that bounce...
Another amazing car by the Ring brothers. It shouldn't take too much to dial the car in.
Their craftsmanship is astonishing.
Well there is a difference between craftmanship and making a car drive well. Great finish.
glad to see you back at it Matt! missed my morning ritual of breakfast and the smoking tire!

must have been dope driving the camaro at sunset (i assume sunset)... so happy the one takes are back!

Thought the thumbnail was a concept drawing haha the car is unreal!
I just finished watching and I'm buzzing inside!!!! Now, THAT'S a ride :--)))))
Looks like the Ring Brothers are all show.
Jr_35 no they're not, they just don't have time to fine tune before SEMA, it will be more than fine by the time the customer gets it
TheOriginalJoke 3.14 dont matter,for its pricetag it will probably run on sand if you know what i mean loll ;)
Fantastic! The machining was done by the customer himself. I enjoyed your analysis Matt. Great work!!
My hearts pumping just watching this vid ........
Watching this and the Jay Leno vid is 40mins well spent. Compliment each other
Man that engine is made to be seen, showcar? It looks really amazing.
u sound like winnie the pooh when u laugh
Yeah that is the laugh of someone about to wholycrap themselves. :P The force and speed of that thing must be insane then top it off the the overly sensitive throttle, while going over bumps, would make anyone sound two octaves higher :)
Ek Seng Ng roflmao 🤣
Solid axel aside, THAT'S a Camaro I'd want
Ryan Lewis I'd probably go for an engine with less power but with the same noise. Would let you use more of the car more of the time
ide stop at 650hp, less chance to break shit at that point could always upgrade as well.
Ryan Lewis i prefer the solid axle good on launches, sturdy .
Henry Kincaid true 600 at most.
100% agree. If I was going to all this effort, I'd definitely have gone with an independent rear suspension.
Hell, if I was this deep in a project, I'd have done pushrod suspension too, just to say I did!!
the sound of that thing is unreal 😍😍👍👍

That engine bay was so clean!
What an awesome vehicle...The interior rocks
Scary beast, bumpy ride. Great driving!
9:00 the most American shot in this video. So gorgeous.

This Camoro is making the rounds, saw it a week ago on Jay Leno's Channel
Well, HALLELUJAH ONE TAKES ARE BACK!!!
glad your back, may the morning dumps commence!
What better way to start off 2017 than with this epic build
that bay again though! thanks for showing ringbros amazing work Matt
man the ring brothers do some amazing work!!!
Ok ignorant people true quality cost - it's over a 2 Mil build. Just needs to be dialed in. Went from SEMA to the west coast. Customs take a lot of time to tune in every way. Think about how many hours normal vehicle manufacturers put into the vehicle they make. Ring's are pure artists. The best of the best
I love it when big boys giggle like little school girls!!! :-)
Looked like a great time!
When Matt says "Good God man! BIG power!" You know the thing hauls ass!!
This alongside the Jay Leno's Garage vid is perfection.
That engine bay is gorgeous.
Ohhhhh that withdrawal was terrible. Welcome back dude.
Damn it was a long wait for one of these! love it thanks for making these
Happy new year. Good to have you back Matt :)
Lots of comments dissing this car -- but it's beautiful, and obviously has huge potential.

That can all be achieved. A build like this will surely have very high-end multi-adjustable components. It just all needs to be dialled in.
