We just spent a full weekend in Illinois with the Roadster Shop guys and our minds have been officially blown! They lived up to and exceeded the legend we had built up about them. The chassis business is one thing to see and it's nothing short of astounding and then to see their custom shop with an in house designer and engineer and to to experience 3 of their builds which are all unique to themselves, all flawless in quality and most importantly drive as good as any custom car ever built...then top it all off these are exceptionally cool people to spend time with! Our whole crew is completely knocked out by the experience with Roadster Shop and hope you enjoy this 1st of 3 episodes with them. 1st of 3 for now that is...
Thanks Liqui Moly for being our first channel partner! Looking forward to doing great things together. For more info about Liqui Moly click the link to their website and discover the best in oil & additives!

I think the technology in the dash setup is amazing. When I seen a glimpse of the dash, earlier in the video, I thought, no they didn't keep the cheesy dash. Then they showed it in the middle and I was shocked. The whole car feels stock at a glance. Even if many of the things are not. They're just so subtle, that they don't stand out too much to take away from the stock look. I think I'm in love.

Jesus... this is the most amazing car that's EVER been on this channel, in my opinion! I'm guessing this car is worth maybe $250k - $300k? Whatever the amount is, if I can come up with the funds, I want an EXACT duplicate and I'm dead serious. I am TRULY in love with this beauty! I don't even need mine to make that much power. 600 - 800 to the wheels would be good enough for me. Definitely the most amazing, FULLY built Grand National I've ever seen.

Bro this might be some of the best automotive enthusiast-related footage i've seen in recent memory. that car seems like it'd make me piss my pants, and i'd totally be cool with the experience. i literally LOL'ed at multiple points while you guys were squeezing that throttle out on the road. good god, that's damn near perfect... that's what i want, something that'll make me giggle -- who really gives a shit about track times and whatever. i want the visceral, goosebumps and beads of sweat on my face kind of experience. thanks for this one!

Truly amazing craftsmanship. I'm a Muscle Car guy and equally a G-body guy. The only thing this car was lacking was the led sequential tail lights ( & third brake light) and the classic rear defogger elements on the rear window. Everything else was just mind blowing. I'll bet Kevin Hart will be a future customer soon.

Saw the Motortrend article on this car and my jaw dropped. I gotta say, certain swaps I'm not a fan of, as cool as they may be...the Grand National and other similar models of this platform (Regal t-Type Turbo, GN-X, etc), I always thought they should keep the turbo V6, because the V8 is "the most expected" upgrade, sort of "mainstream" in terms of idea. I've seen V8-swapped Grand National's before, but never one with this much attention to detail. And I gotta say...despite my previous opinion on V6 over V8, I was sold by this car. It really is something else. Thanks for the video, guys! 😎👍🏻

@@AutotopiaLA It is. I always enjoy projects that maintain this OEM look, and this one won me over in all of them. Even the "double digital" dashboard, resembling the 1980's designs. Some retrowave even played in my mind as I looked at it, LOL! 😂
