  • Some of you are no strangers to Riley Stair’s insane Trans-Am, that all of us chose as our favorite build in all of SEMA 2018. But that was two years ago, and a builder on Riley’s caliber doesn’t just rest on the laurels of winning Hoonigan’s yearly one hour special. This thing has continued to evolve and get driven properly.

    I loved the 8-to-1 headers but you can't ignore 90hp from a tuned exhaust system

    • @Avetho
      @Avetho Před 3 lety +17

      Power... or sound... power or sound... why not both? I love this sound, not quite 8-to-1 but its certainly its own, equivalent, different charm :)

    • @cjcoleman7372
      @cjcoleman7372 Před 3 lety +16

      Not just added horsepower but shaved weight which is kind of adding more power on top of the actual gain by being lighter. Promod guys are over the moon ecstatic if they can just shave ounces much less pounds and gain an insane amount of horse's.

    • @DoesNotGiveAF
      @DoesNotGiveAF Před 3 lety +3

      @@cjcoleman7372 Of course, the most important aspect of going fast is the power to weight ratio. That's the whole reason my little 650cc bike goes 0-60 in 3.2 seconds completly stock.

    Growing up, our neighbor had a ~1000hp car like that (I forget what exactly) that he built for drag racing. Once a month or so he would take the car out in his driveway to tune it and such... It was sooooo loud you could not have a conversation while inside. But it sounded just like this trans am. Love it.

    Being a Brit there are too many US cars that float my boat but I’ve always loved the look of these things. Adding the race car look makes it just perfect to my eyes. Kudos to the guy for such a great build.

  • @ImInLoveWithBulla
    @ImInLoveWithBulla Před 3 lety +37

    I showed my dad the first video of this and he immediately thought the exhaust was all wrong. Went on a long speech about tuned length headers and the old Vanwall formula one cars. I’m kinda scared to show him this one cuz he’d be proven right.

    This car is fuckin insane, I think you guys featured it once already, but it's not like I'm gonna complain. It has everything, a great frame, an insane drive train, perfect exhaust notes and amazing looks. The look in particular is something I wanted to see for a loooong time on one of these, the roots of the kaido Racer aesthetic, with front lip, ducktail, fender flares, deep small wheels and laid the fuck out. There are tons of F bodies lowered with large rims or with the old school stink bug stance on 5 spokes, but none done this way, and it looks fuckin perfect ☠️🖤☠️
