The thing is though, this car Big Red is a 25 year old race car just as you see it. It was raced for a few years then put in a museum and later taken back out to race every year after that and it's still the nearly undisputed top dog in it's racing class...25 years later. So make your argument about motor mounts all you want, on a normal hot rod you'd be right, but until you build something even remotely close to Big Red your just trying to argue online. Not trying to be a jerk, it's what it is.

Undeniably an awesome car. I first saw it in '93 at the Silver State Classic. Set the track record. Awesome seeing it in person. The Gottliebs have done a world class effort on this car and held true to their style of racing thru it all. Thanks for posting this video. I look forward to the movie.

There is no and never will be a car that has the reputation, records and longevity that has made Big Red what it is. It has no equal....I've been a fan since the late 80's, and never seen anything come close to it's lock on supercar status. So awesome it's an American Chevrolet....

Great Job Josh and Crew. Awesome footage. Hard to imagine 40 year old sheetmetal can be crafted by David & Larry to be competitive for decades. GM owes you guys a debt of gratitude. Outstanding to see Richard recognized for his consistent professional driving skills and commitment to this project. Dan Gottlieb you had a vision that the editors of Hot Rod would call ProStreet long after this car had won most everywhere they would let it run. All Hats Off - What An Effort. c.kaufmann

The series has segments on Big Red's racing at Bonneville and El Mirage. Some of the vintage Salt and Lakes footage was provided by Odemoto Films, a mid-century vintage racing archive originally started by Ron Main, one of the owners of Bonneville Land Speed Record car The Speed Demon. Chris Engle now owns and operates the archive and he has a Dry Lakes car. One big happy hot rod family!

This car was designed for road racing the day it was built. The engine mounts and chassis stiffness will only reduce the twist created by the torque of the engine. In the end when the torque is great enough the engine will actually try twist the chassis, with a stiff enough chassis to take the torque the twist will be minimal but it will still twist and the suspension on the apposing side of the engine torque will be compressed. I.E. One side will squat down when you mash the loud peddle.

Apolo: Big Red utilizes a Lowrance Baja GPS device on the dash during events like the SSCC mostly because of it's large, bright display of the mph (Yes, the "220" you see is GPS calculated speed). While Lowrance does make fine fish finders, we especially like their GPS equipment.

This car doesn't have typical motor mounts. They're solid motor mounts ,ZERO give, with a complete tube chassis frame. The motor is pretty much mounted solid to the frame, that's why the suspension is what has to give when the torque of it's monster of a motor is unleashed. The truth of the matter is that the torque making the car lean like that is only a problem if; 1 it's a pure drag car and that twist is adding 100ths of seconds or 2 the tires just can't hook up and spin.

Alexi: Crap those DTI vids are sweet. Dang, I wish that events like MM and TTM would let us set up cameras right at the edge of the course! We have to stay back a good 200 yards so it makes it REALLY difficult to hold a 200mph car in the shot on an 800mm telephoto lens for a consistently long period of time (AND in Focus). We nail it every once in a while, but the rest of the time we have to cut away to on board cams and such.

NO BRAINER: Every car "lists" to one side under heavy straight line acceleration, it's the torque from the motor (inertia actually from the crankshafts spinning mass) loading up the frame, suspension, drivetrain and everything in between. I'm pretty sure there are no "bad" motor mounts, or anything else on Big Red.

They'll take the car back to road racing setup for that-we should plan to do a shakedown and some head to head racing with your A47 Mustang in November-I'll shoot you guys an email too.- Don't sell that car!

No issues with the ongoing project, in fact Big Red is taking on, for the first time ever Land Speed Racing-El Mirage in May and Bonneville at Speed Week 2013. We are thinking that after BNVL we might have an "ending" to the movie, though Big Reds story will never actually end. So over 300 hours of raw footage & still counting.
