- This 1972 Corvette is simply incredible. It was built specifically to win autocrosses, and has all the hardware. It has Detroit Speed's prototype C3 Corvette suspension system in the front and rear, runs 315 Front and 335 Rear section tires, and is powered by a 600 HP Mast Motorsports LS3 and a four-speed Hightower crashbox. It's completely nuts.

Full Disclosure: Detroit Speed and Engineering provided flight, hotel, and rental car, as well as several meals towards the production of this video series.
Matt, that is one of the most badass cars you've ever put on here... probably my favorite. That thing just drags its massive nuts around wherever it goes. Bad fucking ride, dude.
What a TREMENDOUS and GREAT car for a HUGE and GREAT day, damn it feels good to be an American.
Car Consumer so other words ur happy CHUMP "trump" won
ramon sanchez You need the word "You're" and indeed I am so is the majority of America.
Car Consumer nothing I can say will change who the president is but I just hope ur car don't run the way he does buddy!
ramon sanchez If it (running) got him to the white house, I don't want it running no other way.
Car Consumer they will be no talking to CHUMPS FANS Lik talking to a Ford fan so I'll leave it at that buddy. Have a good week brother. it is what it is jus hope we don't end up in war over the decision u made!
Cliche incoming: They don't build em like this anymore! That car looks amazing, especially with those wide-body fender flares!
Well...they DO build 'em like this. But it's REALLY expensive :D
Wayland C Well, we all know what I meant, I'm talking about average sports cars and supercars that can be seen on the road everyday.. sad to write these words lol
This company has a great reputation too, nice to see them getting a small spotlight for a crowd that normally might have not heard of them.
My fav Corvette, C3. Just drips badass.
God those down shifts are fuckin brutal
The C3 is the most beautiful Corvette of them all. Especially with the later rear bumper and a rack for the targa roof.
Michi Scholl I was with you until you added a rack. The only rack I want isn't on a car
Love my rack 😄
i love the plaque in the center console
HP : A lot
TQ : A whole lot
i love those little touches
Those down shifts 🔥
The most beautiful Corvettes 68-72. C4 to C8 cannot keep away from its timeless design.
Love the whine from the trans, wish all manuals sounded like that!
this one isn't too bad, there is a video of an e36 racecar that has a sequential with straight cuts and it was close to peaking the mic by the time it got to 5th
Klasse Act or is it the gear driven timing set?
Wayne S. its the straight cut gearbox that makes the sound, also known as a dogbox.
this is one of the most badass car I have seen in a long ass time
I instantly grew a handlebar mustache the moment you turned it over. Fuckin' sweet car.
It looks (and sounds) like Detroit Speed and Engineering is doing their part in *Making America Great Again*. >:)
That gearing must be tons of fun with that kind of power in something that handles so well. Would rather this than a 200mph top speed.
True. Who really has enough room to go 180+ anyways?
i'd take it geared for 160 over 120, it would be close to screaming if you ever took it on the highway
Just needs a 5 speed and it'd be solid for highway use. But this isn't a daily driver regardless, for a weekend toy it's perfect.
We drove this car in the Cars 'N Cones event which is like the drag week of autocrossing. We can confirm, she screams on the highway.
Is the rear setup similar to something like the old Greenwood or Guldstrand 5-links? Just curious because I know that's always been the major gripe about the stock suspension is the lack of toe-control. I have an '80 and I'm looking forward to these new setups coming out.
The C3 hot rod is great old school muscle. You feel every bump.
I love C3 vetts. And this is a particularly lovable one!
i like the change of scenery
my favorite part about the car is the maniacal giggles it gives Matt. you're never at a loss for words, but this car was cracking you up!
Those lines, timeless, iconic. I could stare at it all day.
That car is my dream. My stock c3 drives like a boat. I need to get that suspension kit asap.
my dad has a 76 stingray... small block but still a lot of fun to drive with the T-Top off.. that IRS sounds like a nice gift for him once it hits market.. Ill be checking out Detroit Speed in the near future.. Great vid Matt! this one hits close to home :)
Dude I watched this TWICE...and will be back for More!
Wow! Wow! That Corvette is sweet. It's the complete package. Matt wants this car. I can see it in his eyes.
The LS3 sounds unreal in this corvette
Side pipes :D
Doesn't even SOUND like an LS, sounds like bruce mclaren's M8 racecar from the can am races, it really sounds like 8+ liters!
1k plus likes, 11 dislikes
Total win.. That car is a total fucking win!
I absolutely love the interior from the 70's era. I'm not sure why.
Garrett Johnsen
I think because of its simple functionality with the coziness to it in 70s/80s interiors
Matt jus having fun and slappin gearz....what a life BROTHER!!!
OMG, Matt's laughter in this video made my day!
T-top stingray...so many memory’s of some truly GREAT times! Another car I should've never sold.
315's in the front
Jeez
CJAE Y autoX American style lol
CJAE Y You can do the same on a C4 no problem. Some guys even run 335's no problem. no modification needed.
That's how Americans do 'Handling'. Pure grip.
no replacement for dis.. contact patch
It's the bare minimum nowadays. We're starting to see 335's on all four corners if they can find suppliers with the right sizing.
Working on a squared 315 setup for the Firebird for auto-x duty.
Damn, that sound is nuts! What an awesome build!
The amount of content you are putting up lately is amazing! Thank you for all the hard work Matt!
@TheSmokingTire, as far as squeaks and rattles go, there's no way you could hear them over the exhaust anyway. And there's NO reason to dial back that cacophony of wonderfulness. Keep up the great vids!
Love the classic hot rod sound this thing makes. Can't get enough of that sound...
My god, that this is a beast.
Sounds brutal! Reminds me of the Greenwood racing corvettes
detroit speed one of the best companies out there
Just picked up 72 and 69 conv...and yes going with the Dse package on both I have been waiting for great parts to be made for these C3 and know we got them. Thanks DSE
This would be one hell of a "escape from the city" car.
I drove one comp 'Vette having spent most of my driving life in sports cars. It was a wild afternoon.
When you upgraded the shitty suspension and engine, C3 vett's are bad ass car's.
Shitty suspension and engine? C3s were introduced over FIFTY years ago in 1968, and the chassis dates back to 1963. Depending on how you optioned them up they were some of the fastest cars in the world at the time. Slicks & open headers would put a ZL1 or an L88 in to the 10's pretty easily, again, over 50 years ago. We're JUST reaching a point where a handful of cars can do that today. Fuel injection (that was back in '57), independent suspension in '63, 4 wheel discs in '65. That's like saying a Spitfire or a P-51 is "shitty." By the way its Vettes (not vett's) and cars (not car's). Pay attention in school.
the downshifts are spectacular
Very beautiful car, loved it as a kid!
I saw this at the Good Guys event in Charlotte back in October Saturday the 22nd...he was tearing up the autoX course! ha, Matt here in North Cackalackey. :Thumbs up:
Beast Mode ON.
this is probably one of my all time favorites, since playing gran turismo 1 lol.
Beautiful car, but can't help but think how much COOLER it would be if were built more along the lines of a Singer Porsche-All of the performance with a little more of a vintage flavor (period style wheels, etc...)
Awsome onetake!! I love c3's. I have an 81 i plan on modding for autocross as well, i still need a lot of time and money..but i'll get there
those fender flares looks amazing, not the riveted shit you see more often
You're probably thinking of Rocket bunny lol. Some does look good but I agree. You see too many that look trash
You have NO social credibility rating. We can see you have no education, so we don't listen to anything you say. The parts are branded and you can't read they're marked by the inventor.
Imad S I’m so sick of that cheap ass look
Some looks good, honestly.
@@dreyn7780 ?
The dudes face rolling past at 1:59 says everything.
Favorite video so far, Matt! Especially since it's from Mooresville, NC! That car is an absolute monster!
I love the look of the C3.
It looked like it was fun and sounded like it was a blast to drive!
Looks like your friend gets on the chew pretty heavily there Matt. Such a chunky car - love it!
Matt's maniac laugh is just, priceless! Nice video!
Those downshifts are fucking nasty. Love it.
Matt did you purposely plan to One Take the MOST AMERICAN CAR EVER on the day our new president is elected?
Sn-95 Oh it's definitely not a coincidence.
357 Mag ....nah, Prius Prime!
357 Mag More like a prison bus...
the sound of that Vette is music to the ears :)
Hey Matt,I've been watching you for years and have been subbed for quite a while. I always LIKE, but never get around to commenting here very often... just had to on this one. As many great cars as you drive, I really love it when you get into one like this and it makes you light up like a kid at Christmas! So cool to see a true car guy get excited about a car. This '72 sounds great and you've gotta listen to this "sumbitch" with proper headphones to truly enjoy it. Take care brother and keep doin' what you do!
one of the rare times you're pulling back into the lot and I'm like what? it's over already! you need to drive that car again and wring it out, seems like the car was just getting warmed up.
dear god. so much freedom.
That is awesome. My favourite is still the 68-69 body style.
Great job. Insane car
Oh Matt, I can't believe you thought the flares were done out of metal- I had such a chuckle because you own a 'Vette and you would also know they are ALL fiberglass. That would be quiet an effort attaching those metal flares to the plastic body! LOL!!! Sick car, I love DS- have followed them for 6 years or so 'cause I've got mates that worked in the design and engineering dept at Holden, which gave an insight to their own work and designs they put out having learnt and sharpened their skill set at Chev's engineering dept
One take, all torque. C3 dream. :)
Creaky or rattles? Shit, you'd never hear them :-) I fucking *love* that exhaust note.
So i had a real bastard of a day at work then i watch this and cant get the shit eating grin off my face. Nice video as always man
3:14 Realizes how frickin' sweet the car is.. drops the shades.
I love the plaque around the shift, HP: A LOT | TQ: A WHOLE LOT. I could see this car being shipped over seas & while driving it around Asia or Europe, the windows are rolled down and the theme song for Team America is just blasting out of the speakers. Of course, you'd have to put speakers and a sound system in it.
It'd be a dream come true to have a full dse suspension on my chevelle and Camaro....Matt!! I want you to do a one take on my chevelle when it's done. 🙏🏼
Holy shit that thing is amazing.
I think I’m in love! 😍
What a beautiful car !
The thumbnail looks like it's from a videogame. I don't know why though.
Also, my favourite Corvette!
Because we have incredible photographers!
what is the transmission that is in this car?
It is a High Tower dogbox 4 speed
I would like to add something to my last comment. When I said that I could build one of these for a lot less than Detroit Speed, I was not implying that this is not a great build or that I could do so with all the modern tech. that Detroit Speed has used on this car. I would take a budget approach and use only restorable vintage parts and do it in a more traditional manner. This is why I could do it cheaper. I think that what they have built here is brilliant and if I had the funds would order one "my way" tomorrow! They do exceptional work and I would like to recommend a new video using this car. Please, Please, Please put Stacy Tucker in an old racing suit. Place a worn out baseball hat on her backwards. Smear some grease on her face, drape her hair in her eye's so she has to blow it out of the way every now and then and have her drive this car like she is mad at it!! LOL...This will be the best video on youtube!! Everyone out there that thinks Stacy should do this give Detroit Speed a shout out in the comments section. Stacy, you are a gem!
DSE can make anything fast. Those boys rock.
The paintwork aside, that's one seriously cool car!
Are you kidding? The awesome period paint is one of my favorite parts.
Mattmorris Nope, am not. I think it's garish even though I know it's period.
Wow, this is fantastic.
As Thatguyinblue would say "smiles per gallon". Sounds awesome
I like the 3" flare on both front and back...looks more balanced than putting 4" on back and 3" on front
I really wanted to hear this thing hitting redline omg such a tease
Who cares if we cant hear you Matt!! THAT SOUND!! OMG!! :D
My DREAM DAILY driver!
Matt imagine whipping it up the snake or Angeles crest highway she's a beast!
the WIDE BODY c3 CORVETTE -- AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is an awesome car love when TST does the oddballs and wild builds
Wow! Amazing build. A go fast car for sure!
Great episode. 👍
wow this car is awesome!
When he was shifting in the video it sounded exactly like I was watching days of thunder. That shit shifts minnnnnnnnttttt Friburger
This thing screams AMERICA!!!😎
Watch out for deer in that part of North Carolina. I have friends there and they say they're out all time of the day during this time of year.
Oh and sick car!
A beautiful BEAST!!! BRAVISSIMO!!!
love this
engine bay is clean as fukkk
Man that's real true pure Americana.
+TheSmokingTire Dude Matt you gotta take this to the track!!
0:51 Shifter base plate "HP: A LOT | TQ: A WHOLE LOT" lol
Matt is in a real life automobile fantasy camp. He's the Dave Grohl of car journalists.
CORVETTE LYFE!!!
