There's just no way I could drive that car for 8 hours and finish the day with my license and my life.

'69 Camero, One of the most IF NOT THE MOST beautifully sculpted car of the 20th century to begin with.

Memories. Got pulled over on that 4 lane stretch of hwy 1. Wrote me up for "excess of 140mph while pacing 2 other vehicles." Pulled all 3 of us over. Big big fine, but the look on the #2 driver's face when he coasted up behind me with oil and smoke pouring out of his $100,000 911 from trying to catch my SS was absolutely priceless. So sweet!

I'm a 100% Ford guy but appreciate anything done well..awesome build!

There is no way anybody would think that's 2000 hp by looking at it from the outside

Beautiful car..insiide and out! Amazing! Great handling on the PCH!

OK, if this thing has 2000 horsepower, and it develops that much horsepower at around 5252 RPM then its jacking out 2000 ft lbs of torque at that RPM too. From what I understand about turbos and boost it could be making that much torque at 3000 RPM too. That is pretty brutal. It would be nice to see this thing make some passes at the drag strip.

I'd love to see numbers from this car at a dragstrip.

Sounds like a fukin Tyrannosaurus Rex goin through that tunnel. Best car sound i've heard...ever. love your work Tom. Maybe someday I'll be able to afford one for myself ......someday

What I like is Toms enthusiasm, he is not up his own arse like I lot of top engine builders and even though he is surrounded by these brilliant engines every day he still loves the thrill of them, top bloke :)

Your team is amazing! This is the sweetest set up in a older muscle car that I've seen in a long time.I could almost feel myself inside this ride on my 70" Sharp Aquos !!!

Are you kidding me? Muscle cars, Malibu, sunset? Ahh dreams, meanwhile Im stuck here in fuckin hungary..

If I was gonna have a car like this built, I would ask somebody with a lot of trans and axle experience to rig an AWD system. There is just no way I would trust two DOT legal tires with 2000 HP (race gas, mind you, but still). There is a guy in France who has an AWD Chevelle. Apparently it can pull 0-60 MPH runs in 2.2 seconds. He used running gear from a GMC Syclone. Failing that I'm sure someone will fabricate something for you.

The sound alone is amazing, and the looks forget about it!!!

I love the symmetry of the engine bay, awesome work

Nice! I'd love to see more cars like this in Malibu - too many Mercedes, Audis and Priuses. I've just got a mild stroker small block in my van - but at 475 horses it gives the "hug the earth" crowd fits. Nice work on it!

the car is awesome great job on the engine looks amazing beautiful engine and really nicely put all together great job ,i want one someday!!!! congratulations

Beautiful. attention to detail , without making it look like a Foose toy car.

These Camaro it's One of my favorite cars! And you now i? Because i'm born in 1969!!! Thanks again Mister Nelson pelas suas Obras de Arte!

and he has now built a 2000hp, awd gto! I've got to hit the lotto....

I think i shat mah pants :) Damn, this is a dream car ! Dear santa...

love the headlights/taillights might be the best camaro ive seen :)

Love the cleanliness of the hard lines/pipes...

Nelson needs to hire a driver and get some track time for these videos. Its like watching high school kid doing a burnout contest, over and over again.

there's no replacement for displacement

That is the sexiest engine compartment I have ever seen. Period.

Great job Tom! Nice to have a cool customer like Ben who appreciates your fine art! I am coming to see you when there next!!

Ever thought of putting the 572 twin turbo into a 1956 Chevy bel-air? That would be nuts!

to the no speedo comments, either one of 2 things or a combination of both, maybe didn't want the 300 miles he put on a customers 300k build showing on the odometer when he takes delivery, or no video proof of excessive speed on public roads.

sick! and gorgeous looking too! with unbelievable drivability!!!!

this car running full motec and some hard core suspension work... spastic on the road, destroyer on the track, and maaaad respect at the drags dream car

Speedo isn't working, sup with that?

Telephone Rings wife answers : Hello Me: hey babe, I'm never coming home. Me:Click.

Out of Sight! Wow. I had .66 Camaro 327 3speed. Loved it

CLEAN engine bay!! Love it!

What kind of fuel mileage does this camaro get?

Now make an AWD version and call me.

Beautiful work NRE! WOW

Nice these guys have done awsome technical work to achieve 2000hp and still have a daily driver ...its great minds like this that keep the automotive industry on its feet with technology

Speedo at 0 mph while driving!! lol

8 hours of driving? I would say 8 trips to the gas station

NRE makes the best engines, in both sheer performance and style. Keep up the great work!

2000hp - RWD - MANUAL TRANS ..... That is fucking INSANE !!!!!

Your over a thousand rpm and no speedometer

I could totally smoke this in my riced out honda

That is the cleanest 2000hp I've ever seen. What a sleeper!!!

your engines and cars are works of art

there is no way that's 2000 or even 1000 hp. joke exspecially pump fuel

This car is mean and clean but your mouth needs a little soap to clean it up. Your car will get you all the attention and recognition that you deserve, but your 4 letter words will erode that.

This car is absolutely thee baddest car on the road. She's so beautiful, black, and sleek,and mean. And fast is an understatement. What a perfect car. 1969 one if not the best year for American hot rods. This car has sooooo much love to give. I want one. Hats off with a hip hip hooray! to Mr Nelson.

man oh man you guys build some amazing car engines if i ever win the lottery i know where im coming.

As Henry Ford said, "You can have any colour as long as it's black." That thing is mental. Nice work guys.

the video will never do the sound that's made inside those tunnels justice....i bet it's incredible.

Total style what a master build i salute you all hole team :) What a car , What a engien! :)

piece of art!gorgeous!

This is a monster, love it...wow

holy god that car could pass as a factory installed engine amazing work bravoo

572 BBC twin turbo twin intercooled 2000 hp all day long no problem. Incredible piece nice job again

OMG< thats one bad ass car, love it. Great job on the build😊

Tom Nelsonracingengines you are one Intelligent Engineer who know what he is looking for when making Loads of Power in your Engines Pure Craziness i love it Hi 👋 from 🇨🇦 #YSW

I love watching this car drive! If I had the means I would have you guys build one for me. But I don't so im stuck drooling at the video

I drive that canyon every weekend :) Its an awesome drive.

I love it, it's what I always dreamed about doing to an old muscle car. 6 speed, huge power, drivable, awesome suspension. It's got it all...and no one on the road can touch it

Sir you have the best job ever I totally envy you. If you are looking for a capable hand to do shake down runs with those beauty cars that you guys build then look no further I'm ready willing and able. LOL! Keep posting these awesome vids.I myself don't own a hot rod so I always come on here watch you guys to get my fix. CHEERS

Awesum! Keeping tyres on dat ting iz da trick!

Your making history totally awesome post more love it .

Good video. If I ever leave SoCal, it might be the roads that I'll miss the most.

Mr Nelson i'm a big fan of your work. What an amazing piece John Hennessy doesn't have anything on you keep up the good work

Nelson... gostava imenso de ter o PRAZER de conduzir uma dessas Obras de Arte que você Cria com tanto Love. 1 grande Abração deste seu FÃ.

Gas milage comments? REALLY?! Nobody buys or builds a car like this with gas milage as a primary consideration. If you can afford to buy/own it, kinda goes without saying that you can afford to fill the tank. Beautiful car. A real work of art.

Hey I saw this camaro on a mothers polish ad. Thats why it looks so good!

Nice car looks clean sounds clean .. Beautiful car all around

Rick Lojko, one of NRE's customers, built a '69 Camaro with a 632 CID twin-turbo Big block. That thing makes 1600 HP on pump gas, and 2200HP on race gas. It would be awesome if Tom could get his hands on that car and make a street test video with it.

Not an American car lover since I come out of the UK... But your hard pressed to beat a 60/70 Muscle car brought up to today's spec! If I had money and lived in the US... This is what I would like... It's stunning! I would prefer it without the turbos to be truthful... Bet without them it's a 700hp car.... Well done for such a spectacular car!!!!!

Beautiful car!

Different strokes for different folks. NRE makes some of, if not 'THE' best gasoline powered engines on the planet. They also get incredible gas mileage as well. 1800hp at 20+mpg is pretty damn awesome.

Insane. I want one, maybe two

the screams were heard everywhere and the smell was something that made the children cry!

I'm sure there ISN'T ANY ONE who can build a car,,an engine,,a trans,,a frame,,,HELL,,,,or even an airplane like the BEST MAN in the business.......and THAT man is TOM NELSON!!!!!!!! Tom,,,,,you're my idle,,,,I mean IDOL. LOVE all your work. EVERYTHING is a MASTERPIECE!!!!!! Keep on building them,,,,brother. If I ever win the lottery,,,,the 1st thing I would do is to commission you to build me a car. Until that happens,,I guess I'll just watch the videos with a bottle of hand lotion close by....HAHA LOL

I agree.That sound drive me nuts.

I like that you went with a manual instead of a damn powerglide.

work of art!!

Monstrous.

tire frying madness ,love it

I love that the motor is all black and ordinary in appearance to someone who doesn't realize what they're looking at.

Awesome car!

Very clean car, well done

Jerry..... the black stripes are cool!

this about tenth time and ... speechless..

Each time they are in the tunnel, I kept wondering if the sound of the car would bring the mountain down. Amazing...

excellent argument. thank you mr tank

very nice car, keep up the good work

Oh wow. So Original!!!!!

Mean and clean. Nice

Madness, pureblooded madness.

This is What Dreams are made of.. Wow!

I'm not even a chevy guy though I am a Denali snob but that is one beautiful piece of work. Well done. Next $150k I have I'll have you build me one if that's enough.

Definitely Sounds Awesome :)

i'm sure that this is one of the most radical and most badass road cars on the planet (a common theme at NRE products), and probably the single most powerful (and most badass again too) 1st gen street Camaro of them all !
