Jay leno"s Garage is the best show on CZcams No other show comes close to the amount of content that he puts out with each one of his episodes. Its not just about the cars, its also about the amazing people that are behind the making of these works of art and amazing machinery, and the history of it all, and he grasps each and everyone of those points every time. Great Series Jay, keep up the Great work. I just wanted to let you know all of us enjoy your work and this hobby, thanks for sharing!
I really enjoy the natural tone you have around cars. No bovine excrement. And thank you so much for having the courage to enjoy the genuine sounds of each vehicle. You are resisting the trend of producers to load up the audio tracks with extra layers of unrelated music. You are clearly a true car nut! Well done. Keep it coming.
I love how John's face just lit up when Jay compared him to Shelby
+Synematic Studios But he knows he can never come even close
Well, Carol Shelby only modified Fords. Hennessey mods Camaros, Silverados, Challengers, Mustangs, Escalades, etc.
George GMC Sierra Denali But Hennessy cannot compete with the legend Shelby. This goes for historical world known races hes won the GT 40 design and Le Mans the list goes on. I put Hennessy in the same category as Roush. I found it funny when Roush started autographing his work like Carroll.
SS Well I don't like Ford.
They have their trucks figured out, and of course, the taxi and cop cars ran forever. I would prefer a '68 Bizzarini, myself...
Since they didn't touch the bottom end, I'm assuming on the automatics they still left those failure prone afm lifters in there. I wonder how that worked out. Turning off the afm via a tune doesn't help eliminate failures.
never seen anything like this before, awesome stuff Jay just awesome stuff. I love how you get all these modded cars coming to your garage. Keep it up! :D lovin every video
I have a low compression engine in my Tacoma with the 3.4. By far one of the most solid engines I have ever dealt with. I have not had a single problem with the truck, ever.
"There is no substitute for immaturity"... and no cure either ;-)
haha thought you were going to ask : how fast do you have to go before... the stripes have an effect ...
01:15 I thought he was going to say "That's why I prefer... slender people." Haha.
25 grand? For rims, splitters, and a supercharger with stock internals? Am I missing something lol
Honald Trinton Rims and tires- $3000
Superchargerkit-$8000
Carbon fiber work~$4000
Hennessy name stickers$10000
LOL
Honald Trinton yes, hes a known crook
Do the work yourself then...
Not as bad as the Cadillac he brought on, 20k for a pulley kit and an intake
Ur just an idiot then!
The platform that this camaro is based on was designed in Australia by GM-holden for Holden's 2006 Commodore.... and it is great to see how well it works in the USA on one of America's greatest Automotive names.
The Commodore is a very capable car and the Camero sheetmetal looks great....
Ah thanks Jay! Always a pleasure to see another one of your videos in my subscription box, keep up the great work!
John and Jay are both my heroes
I always liked the Monte Carlo Bar on my Monte Carlo.
That opening above the grill reminds me of KITT
Great car. I love Hennessey. I hope you live to 125 years. You the best. I’ve watched every night show. Every video. You deserve happiness. 🙏🙏🙏👍✌️❤️😎
I'm struggling to see it as a future collectible car.
when I think of a convertible Camaro comes to mind 🙌
This is a good car for Leno. It makes his head look tiny.
Jay... I love when you reference the under the hood braces as Monte Carlo Bars. Even back in the 70's when you had full framed cars.... GM didnt really worry about extra weight caused by under the hood braces!!! Luv all your videos! Keep em Coming! -Leo *** Chicago ***
Jay Leno's life is a wet dream.
It is a ratio between the volume of a combustion chamber and cylinder, when the piston is at the bottom of its stroke and the volume when the piston is at the top of its stroke. The higher the compression ratio, the more mechanical energy an engine can squeeze from its air-fuel mixture.
I'm just so tired of everybody putting supercharger on every car. That's why I love the new Mustang GT350. 526hp all motor.
the camaro z28 has like 700
+Justin Fields 505*
***** If it was turbo, it would be sweet.
+blackericdenice , did you mean to say, BURNETHEJEW SANDERS?
Joe Magnets
truealchemy Not anymore.
A monte carlo bar connects front fenders not the strut towers but still very similar.
This was the chase car while he was doing the review of the Cadillac CTSV.
I couldn't decide. Z28 and the new Boss Ford. I'd switch up every once and a while. Never been partial to the convertable though. Realy short summers up in Canada.
I wanna see Jays twin turbo v6 Camaro!!
Always love you Jay!
Jay's rocking some killer bedhead this episode.
glad someone out there caught that.
I think it's all a matter of personal preference. The truth is that these newer cars do have a good amount of CFM through those stock exhaust parts. It is also nicer to not disturb the whole county to just drive it to the store and back. I love the idea of having a loud exhaust only when you want it to be loud.
Loved the sound
Good eye. Very good. Wasn't paying close attention to John.
Hey man, nice attempt at English slang, you did alright in my book... it's also nice to see someone in Europe appreciate the raw talents of the C6 generation Corvette! Rock on! \m/
Hows the uk motor industry doing?
after ur comment and looking it up it makes sense now. thanks.
I don't understand who would buy a car like this, and then have everybody do the work!
Heard about that, some guy ended up finding his Ford GT in PIECES!!
It's just like Mr. Torgue says in Borderlands 2, "If you're not made of gasoline, metal or bacon, GET THE FUCK OUT." LOL XD
I wish John Hennessy was My best friend 😌.. that guy built some legendary cars..
While a 10 horsepower gain might have been true on a previous generation Camaro, it isn't as true on the current ones. The exhaust is extremely well designed, engineered, and manufactured to produce a good tone, an acceptable volume, respectable fuel economy, and good performance. They have come a long way in the past 9 years or so since the Camaro was discontinued. And like I originally said, it's all a matter of preference.
That is my favorite color combo!!!
You really don't have to get all defensive about it. When you have 600 horsepower in a car you might only gain about 2-3 horsepower from an aftermarket muffler and tailpipe. What you're really gaining is a lot of exhaust drone in the car at cruise speeds and a louder idle. It makes a lot of sense to leave the stock exhaust on a car that you might use every day.
When Jay says that he means more horse power is being squeezed out of your standard model without bolt-ons such as this being added. These days you see 320+ horsepower v6's. That wasn't seen in the past
I can't smoke cigarettes because the surgeon general said it was bad for me.
He never said anything about smoking my tires though, hah!
I hate saying this because I know its "I KNOW THIS GUY AND HE SAID THIS", but my dad is picking up an SS camaro. I've always been a car lover and I've NEVER had a car like this that actually been owned by my family. I know some people dislike them, but they sound great and seem pretty fast. The visibility is horrendous though.
I'm not a Camero fan nor a mustang groupie. Now the Trans Am, yes. Owned four birds and always took time to smoke and grill a Camero or mustang. Le sigh. Miss those cars. Lol
Keep it up Jay.
Highway Wonderland.
what do you mean that it's not covered by warranty if it used for racing? do you think i bought it to park it and enjoy the looks of it?
I like this car very much and with a light upgrade package is more than enough!
SUPER NICE Jay !!!!!!!
I've used K&N for years, through 60K miles and haven't had a single issue.
I actually, literally came while watching this, what a sound man! :o :))
Actually Chevy has already come out and said the ZL1 automatic option in the camaro is either a tenth or 2 tenths faster then the manual. Computers can shift faster then any person... but it doesn't change the fact that manuals would be more fun to drive for most people. The difference is, not calling someone a girl just because they like it. It's called tolerance, you'll learn that when you grow up.
what's the point in bolt ons if the engine isn't tuned after ?
If they were both in convertible trim & manual, I'm not so sure? #'s I saw estimated the 2013 GT500 convertible @4 sec and the HPE600 Hennessey was estimated at 3.9 sec.
Personally I dont think this car with the hennessey package is worth it, but money aint a thang for Jay!
For a week after the storm, he was able to power some lights and electronics chargers with the aid of a few heavy-duty extension cords and a 100-watt power inverter plugged into his car’s lighter outlet. Once he figured that out, he upgraded to a 300-watt inverter to power his entire home - he used 8.9 gallons of gas to do this.He wasn’t able to use a heater, but lights on and charing his electronic devices was enough - more power than hundreds of thousands of other customers have had recently.
jay you can call it what you want, look at this take the suspension for instance anti roll bar also call a also called anti sway bar etc so i say call it what you want like you said its your website
Jay mentions the web site, but it's so much easier to access the videos here. The size of the car, it's mass, height, etc., takes a lot away from the appeal for me, compared to smaller sports cars. Or, watch Jay drive Steve McQueen's Jaguar, and check out his reaction to that. That's the way to go.
I would enjoy a contest between the Hennessey 650, Chevrolet ZL1, SLP ZL1.. . .Hint . .Hint . .Jay ! !
Jay’s TwinTurbo V6 would have a good chance on this one.
lower compression engines deal with contaminants better,
point is k&n lets way to much dirt into a engine.
and dyno pulls with paper vs k&n showed that the paper preformed better because it has more surface area.
That was well said, no replacement for immaturity. Hopefully I won't end up losing it somewhere along the line.
That's a beautiful car.
From 11:01 till 11:04 the brake lights were on,indicating it was being power braked.
He was most likely applying a little brake as to achieve a burnout
Thanks Jay.
Sounds pretty damn good for stock back half exhaust
Hennessey are the bosses man... take a look at the VelociRaptor 800... insane!
There is a Camaro HPE 725 here in Oklahoma. It looked awesome. Never got to ride in it tho. I wonder what Hennessey could do with my 1986 Bronco. :)
+Jeremy Menchaca Fit a roll cage for a start!
Jay what about the Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster, which doesn't add any weight for convertible
I have an associates degree in electronics I think I am well versed in the electrical grid system and more. Beyond that I look into things that are not instructed at the institutions. For instance we should not use refrigerators. We should use chest freezers roll back the temp to refrigeration levels. What way the cold air would not fall to the floor each time U open the door. Refrigerators were probably designed by the power companies so they can burn more electricity.
Jay you should take a look at the 2013 ford taurus. Ford stepped up there game!
they used this as the camera car for the CTS-V700 video... was this the same day?
I was just about to comment on that.
Not sure if it was the same day. Possibly though.
Great video jay now let's see your turbo v6 you got
I agree. That kind of cash spent at Nelson Racing Engines would make for a little more nastiness. Of course, Hennessy needs to make a profit, and if he's gonna smash records with things like the Venom GT, I guess the stiff price is going to a greater cause.
lolol what part of angels crest would a splitter and wing come into play?
Nice car and a great sound
I goolged it.... all I found were articles, some as old as 2002, when the companys name still was "Hennessey Motorsports". I checked also with the Better Business Bureau and found only 3 minor complaints against HPE.
Maybe you should accept that not everything you read once in a forum is necessarily absolut thruth or still applies ;)
They have big sales over here because they are "exclusive" companies like Ferrari only make very few of their cars. It doesn't mean that the "Euro" cars are better... take into consideration the new GT500, ZL1, ZR1, Z06, GTR, Viper TA, and CTS-V... these cars are the best for the price.
Very nice, drives nicely. Nice.
jay nice to see you wearing a seatbelt it's important to set the example especially for the young uns
Well said
ok jay we got the whole monte carlo bar thing...back in the day....dadada da da....falcon...dadada............ wait why do you call them that again?
Love your videos Jay, post a video of your camaro!
It's funny how Jay hates spoilers so much and questions their usefulness in every single episode when a car has one :P
Well said.
In Sweden it's about 70 000 US dollars for a Camaro SS convertible. I want to live in the US.
Jay, is that correct that the Hemi engine with auto gearbox only came with a 90 day warranty? I've never heard you tell that story before..... 😆
So they had to wait for fuel but when a storm knocks out the power for days on end, how do you expect people to recharge their electric vehicles?
Laguna Seca Lap Times:
ZL1 - 1:39.2
GT500 - 1:38.7
Quarter Mile:
ZL1 - 12.1 @ 117.4
GT500 - 11.6 @ 125.7
Happy?
I wish he would have done something with the exhaust because those SS's can sound meannnnn
Look at John's body language when Jay is talking about the warranty, he folded his arms closing himself off to Jay. They won't cover the rear end or transmission in even checked with them directly. They only have the warranty for the blower unit the intake and catalytic converters plus if they think you've raced it they weasel out from a clause in the contract.
Hennessey makes a nice product. I can only imagine how much more fun my SS would be with a blower.
@shivam86 how much force/air the supercharger is putting out.
wow man, hectic stuff!
Every camaro from 1970s and 2013 are sexy! And the engine sounds cool too. Tho this one wasn't that amazing on design, the engine was great
That was exactly what I wanted to see. A quarter mile pass would have been cool but ya know, all of the WOT balsts and a burn into 2nd or 3rd gear..... "2 outa three aint bad"
looks like jay just woke up got a birds nest in his hair
2:01 do those tires look like there not fitting correctly or is that just me?
Good one jay
