    This dude is a genius. Built most parts himself, installed it himself. 400+ hp, and he says it gets around 30mpg. My mind can't fully comprehend how awesome all that is. The amount of detail is off the chart!

    • @Anukloses
      @Anukloses 6 років тому +5

      400... definetly not 500. He said it was at 400, anything more is a lie. 30mpg? I sincerely doubt that.

    • @noahhellner8675
      @noahhellner8675 6 років тому +21

      That is actually about standard LS3 swaps

    • @modobomber
      @modobomber 6 років тому +50

      He is saying ~515 at the wheels with the LS3 and cam. The 30 mpg isn't hard to believe considering he's barely above idle at 60 mph in 6th gear.
      To the guy slamming him, you don't seem to know Jack shit to be making claims against his. Sounds plenty legit to me, mpg is aided tremendously with gearing and driving style.

    • @mrs_radrod
      @mrs_radrod 6 років тому +4

      Its all that aero. If it was just the stock body and no undertray and no splitter it wouldn’t get that mileage. It might get 25 if it didn’t have those things.

      M L, the closest I came to having one was a Conquest head shaved .060 on one of my '76 Colts (I swapped in a 2.6 from a Caravan, and 5-speed from a Challenger). Being as the block was a flat top, and this was the old dish piston head, premium only.

    Johns car is generally considered the most awesome starquest, its the epitome of built not bought. There are other awesome starquests out there too, some track only, others fully street legal. I have 2 of them, one stock, one that looks pretty stock, but its so very not stock.

    DAMN!!! One of the cleanest, sickest builds I've ever seen. Especially considering it's home built on a relatively small budget. This dude is my new hero.
    I love it when engineers build car, you know EVERYTHING is going to be well thought out and purposeful, and they can't leave anything alone. This thing has more engineering put into just the front bumper than 99% of "tuner" cars that show up to Cars & Coffee. Also, it's PERFECT that this has an LS. An LS is ALWAYS the answer. No better way to get big power and reliability on the cheap.

    @Hoonigan why you don't start the "LCS" - Loud Car Standings
    Buy a sound meter and for every car that shows at the shop you measure the decibel. Probably this will win.

    • @AWSimDrifter

      I don't know if it would win, Andy Hately's LS E30 is probably louder.

    • @JacopoCadeddu
      @JacopoCadeddu 6 років тому

      No way, the E30 was loud but this Chrysler is even louder.
      This car has almost broke the mic, the audio was inaudible... The E30 was loud and you can actually hear the sound, this not.
      If the used the same mic, this is louder.

  • @jomaha9227
    @jomaha9227 6 років тому +45

    I wanted to hate this car, because it's another LS swap. While I get that LS swaps give a reliable, lightweight, small engine that makes absurd power, they've become so common that it's more impressive and unique to see an original (or same-manufacturer) engine build these days. I also get that in Cali the e-rod LS3 is a CARB legal swap that is great for a lot of people to stay compliant with emissions.
    So I kind of went into this video wanting to hate another LS swap, but jeez, give this guy props. This is an amazing build. Wow is all I have to say. Just WOW!

    • @MegaBuster777
      @MegaBuster777 6 років тому +6

      JoMaHa The thing is, this was done way before LS swaps were a common thing to do. There's other engines he could have bolted to the stock transmission, but would have costed more and pushed the stock transmission to the absolute limits when pushed passed 400whp. What's cool is he's built a few things for the guys in the community. He had the widebody fenders for sale, and even had 2 spoilers for sale. A drag spoiler and another spoiler which extends the stock ducktail hatch spoiler that he ran for a bit between running the GT wing.

      I would've liked to see a 4G63 swap; but this car is beyond Dope,LS swap or not. But I look past and even appreciate the swap on this car; this machine is phenomenal!

    • @danimal865
      @danimal865 6 років тому +7

      Mitsubishi doesnt really make an engine that can reliably make the power and torque the LS does. They can make the power, but they wouldn't last 5 or 10 years on 20 or 30 psi the way he thrashes the car, and a 4 cyl sounds like shit compared to a v8. Plus its a track car, so an all motor smooth power and torque delivery is way better for grip than a 4 cyl that has boost come on at 3 or 4 thousand rpm.

    • @trailrunnah8886
      @trailrunnah8886 5 років тому

      I get your point about LS swaps being common, but they're common for a reason. You actually listed all the reasons, and when building a car, it's got to be hard to look past all that, especially building on a budget. And with the owner/builder being a GM employee, it's pretty fitting that it's LS powered. Plus, he's an engineer, so he's going to look at all the numbers and other factors. When you factor out wanting to be "different", LS is usually the way to go. Considering how many vehicles GM made with LS based motors, you can find them all day for cheap money, and even running, driving LS powered vehicles (I see a lot of cheap 6 liter 00's Denalis, for instance) for just a few grand. Not to mention the GIANT aftermarket for them.
      Now if I were building a hot rod or something vintage and going for an old school look, I would not go with an LS. However, if performance is the goal, it's hard to beat them.
