+SOCAL3800 It's because they're *one trick ponies*, they're good at accelerating in a straight line. They can be setup to do "decently" around corners (**cough** nurburgring **cough**), however if they win it's usually because they're great in the straights. **SHORT GEARS** + **ALL WHEEL DRIVE** = **GREAT ACCELERATION**
+Roddy Yang Shut the fuck up, GTR fanboy! No one gives two shits about the GTR. You probably roll around in a Nissan but no GTR and probably never will, maybe on Forza. You're just about as ignorant and dumb as they come.
Beautiful work Tom, you and your guys do by far the best detailed work on the planet, just being able to lay out something like this has got to be extremely hard but you all get the job done.....What a car.
What an incredibly mind blowing set up. I've been involved in and around race cars for many years but I've never seen quality like that! I have no doubt that she'll do 260.
This is some proper, PROPER setup. I love how overkill the safety, cooling, and fine tuning is done! Easily the *most beautiful underside* I've ever seen =D.
wow. very clean setup. love all the hard lines and AN fittings. def a nasty looking 5th gen. im sure it gets out of its own way as well. another nre masterpiece.
+CptCannibal I'd imagine because LAPD has threatened to arrest him for exhibition of speed and speed contest. The videos are evidence. He should wear a mask!
Rod Palm........Did you slip into a coma while watching this video? Because he did a good job of showing ALL of the exotic cooling systems for everything in the car.........DUMB ASS. This car has more cooling capability than anything you've ever seen, or ever will........I can assure you of that. Next time, try to pay attention.
That's by far the biggest motor I've ever seen in a 5th gen Camaro. Larry Larson is the only other guy I know that put a big-block in a 2013 ZL1, but it's a 540ci.
I love how the opening lines on this beast of a top end Camaro, start with mentioning it has a Ford 9 inch Diff...............Put a 12 bolt behind that much grunt, and watch it shear like a pantyhose.
I LOVE THIS CAR! Congrats on your record crew! Idk if you all still hold it or not(prob do)but if u don't plz tweak it a little bit more and go for record again or break your record. 1 BADA$$ COPO,LOVE IT!
I don't know the whole story with what happened to Tom and NRE but he built some of the finest cars ever to terrorize the streets, legendary creations that will never be duplicated.. I learned a lot from Tom and will hope he makes a comeback one day.
WoW!! If this car didn't have that large wing and 2 parachutes showing, it would make a great street sleeper. Beautiful work. Is this your daily driver?
watching this video is like seeing the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel for the first time...what an absolute masterpiece. ...to the guy with the video camera...keep the camera in the truck...car can be heard more clearly...that wind noise was annoying
Who holds the record so far for top speed at the TX mile event? Guess I could Google it. And teh level of detail on the cars/motors the put out is on another level imo
This is the first time I've seen driven in traffic since it's not legal lol. I LOVE IT!!!
This car is a piece of artwork! The level of craftsmanship & fine details are amazing! Nice Work!!!
Word.
This is some proper, PROPER setup. I love how overkill the safety, cooling, and fine tuning is done! =D
This thing should compete at the TX2k roll racing events. im sick of seeing GTRs and Lambos dominate that class.
I'm not a gtr fan boy or owner, but you do realize that tx2k is the gtr nationals right? That's why you see so many gtrs there.

I can't agree more was there last weekend and like you said a lot of fuckin gtr's but the few vetted that were there were something to see
+Roddy Yang Shut the fuck up, GTR fanboy! No one gives two shits about the GTR. You probably roll around in a Nissan but no GTR and probably never will, maybe on Forza. You're just about as ignorant and dumb as they come.
+Roddy Yang I'm sorry, who's the fanboy?? You're the one defending the GTR!!! God, you're so fucking stupid, dude!!
NELSON I HAVE NOT SEEN A BUILD LIKE THIS, ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATING
Thats crazy how calm that beast is on the road
its at a low hp tune right now it just got done being built they don't wanna blow it up right away
i have never seen a camaro that looked that freakin cool.. EVER
LEGENDARY attention to detail. Amazing.
Honestly it dosen't get better than that this car looks and sounds amazing.
Looks ready for Texas I will be watching for it to run. This is the most insane build I have seen you do yet!
I dunno.... That wide body Charger was ridiculous.
Beautiful work Tom, you and your guys do by far the best detailed work on the planet, just being able to lay out something like this has got to be extremely hard but you all get the job done.....What a car.
Man This is one sweet build!
"Power and traction were always the passion in the copo,,copo camarrrooo"
I would like to learn how to do all the custom fabrication.
Very nice Rolling artwork.
Got a 5th gen Camaro myself recently. I really like what you did with this one
This is one of the nicest most badass builds I've ever seen
how much would it be parts and labor to build something like this? including the car probably looking at 200k at least?
at least that much
Thats one bad ass ride! Hope you follow that car on its journey!
cars a work of art I would stare at all day..car sounds mad when you drive it slow
HOLY FUCKING GORGEOUS BUILD MAN!
Looking forward to seeing you guys out at the event next weekend.
great video, thank you and to the guys who can afford this.
What an incredibly mind blowing set up. I've been involved in and around race cars for many years but I've never seen quality like that! I have no doubt that she'll do 260.
This is some proper, PROPER setup.
I love how overkill the safety, cooling, and fine tuning is done!
Easily the *most beautiful underside* I've ever seen =D.
That's something to be proud of!
Love the look... Great job as always Nelson.
just cruisin down the street in my COPO Camaro I love it
wow. very clean setup. love all the hard lines and AN fittings. def a nasty looking 5th gen. im sure it gets out of its own way as well. another nre masterpiece.
This is a beautifully built camaro. I usually hate camaros. Good job on this.
Where's all the "fuck"s and the burnouts?
+CptCannibal I'd imagine because LAPD has threatened to arrest him for exhibition of speed and speed contest. The videos are evidence. He should wear a mask!
+uclajd and say "filmed in Mexico" like everyone else lol
+CptCannibal
it ain't geared for no stinkin' burn-outs
+Joh n so, what-do they not warm the tires anymore is that what you're telling me?
ad bitchin
Something about a white 5th gen gets me everytime😍 This car is flawlessssss *Droooooool*😵😵😵
Beautiful work
Where's the time slip? ...all show and no go?
That is one sick Camaro.
the level of craftsmanship is insane respect
Wow factor off the scale,Nelson seems to out do himself on builds awsome
That car is insane!
Most awesome Camaro ive ever seen!
Has this car run the mile yet?, does anyone know the results or have a link to video...i cant find any record of it running yet
Wtf? Absolutely sick work as usual.
Best car builder around!!!
fan and valve ?
So clean.
The ending was exciting
I'm normally a Ford guy but, that's the sweetest Camaro I think I've seen..
+tommy23490 still has a ford rearend ;)
+enigma9789 I'm sure they are using a Ford based rearend for easier gear swaps.. But that rearend did not come out of any Ford vehicle...
A work of art
2010 ss weight 920kg
all i can say this is the best of the best
Noticed the front hubs look like "drive" hubs from something, splined centers.
+Robert Kohut I was thinking that also. Looks like 4wd hubs or something.
A well thought out car. It is better engineered than most of the vehicles at Beeville mile.
Beautiful!
What's the ratios in the Lenco, Under/Overdrive and rear end?
Monster THAT`S A BEAST:-)
Incredible.
Clean Build.
Nice build!! (as usual). Pretty tame cruise though!
About fucken time Nelson I've always said it if nre joins the Texas mile he will dominate!!!!
Engine compartment is clean but man it is going to get hot in there. You can tell it has tall gears plus the gear vendors OD.
Rod Palm........Did you slip into a coma while watching this video? Because he did a good job of showing ALL of the exotic cooling systems for everything in the car.........DUMB ASS. This car has more cooling capability than anything you've ever seen, or ever will........I can assure you of that. Next time, try to pay attention.
I want those wheels!!
i want to see it run- subscribed
That's by far the biggest motor I've ever seen in a 5th gen Camaro. Larry Larson is the only other guy I know that put a big-block in a 2013 ZL1, but it's a 540ci.
Awesome
This is not adequate for youtube.
=P
I love the work made in your shop.
Any insight on what suspension was stiffening the chassis to keep this thing straight at 200+
was expecting a 260mph run.
Bad ride btw Tom, you engineer some of the baddest stuff on earth!!!!!
Tom you are my greatest American Hero
I HAVE SEEN CAMARO AT SEMA ITS A WORK OF ART
Love it
the beast born.!!!
That's the best is seen yet and is seen a lot I wish it was a mopar
awsome
Driving a COPO on the street? No Vin....In CA? That's crazy Tom.........But way cool.
freaking sweet !
I love how the opening lines on this beast of a top end Camaro, start with mentioning it has a Ford 9 inch Diff...............Put a 12 bolt behind that much grunt, and watch it shear like a pantyhose.
THE Supreme Machine! Superlative Engine-Neering Men!!
I LOVE THIS CAR! Congrats on your record crew! Idk if you all still hold it or not(prob do)but if u don't plz tweak it a little bit more and go for record again or break your record. 1 BADA$$ COPO,LOVE IT!
So sick.
Cool video but not the same without a 3 block long burn outs you always do.
I don't know the whole story with what happened to Tom and NRE but he built some of the finest cars ever to terrorize the streets, legendary creations that will never be duplicated.. I learned a lot from Tom and will hope he makes a comeback one day.
So how did it do?
lovin them rims!!
When are we going to see NRE Racing Engines at TX2K and events like the half mile in coalinga
David PhoTWENTY you won't! He builds garbage
260 is quick, but badd gt already took home the record @283 in the standing mile
Dude youre fukn sick!! Nice clean builds!! AWESOME!!
Man, for 260mph, this beast should have better aero. Totally flat bottom, diffusers, etc. Insane build!
lol how lightly do you have to touch the pedals to keep from taking off
Are those IRS spindles and hubs you're using on the front?
I noticed the splines for axles...
+NegativeNumbers427
Lamb lightweight hubs with forged aluminum knuckle uprights
WoW!! If this car didn't have that large wing and 2 parachutes showing, it would make a great street sleeper. Beautiful work. Is this your daily driver?
Can you please use...
180 degree headers or an
8 to 1 collector
on your dyno runs?
NRE should build their own in house super car from the ground up. Imagine that.......
Hey Tom, what's your take on the Duramax Camaro doing 200mph in the standing mile, even with 900+ hp i don't see it happening with that much weight.
Wonder why they opted to keep the trans brake? Its set up for a full mile speed run right?
I get a feeling that beast is faster than my right hand doing an oil change on its best porn day.
watching this video is like seeing the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel for the first time...what an absolute masterpiece. ...to the guy with the video camera...keep the camera in the truck...car can be heard more clearly...that wind noise was annoying
Who built that wing I want one hard to find a good looking drag wing
A twin turbo 10.3L with 2 fuel systems and speed controlled boost nice!!!!!!!!!
What kind of stereo does it have?
Dude I have a crazy idea that I think you would be just the mad scientist to build it. I have an 06 Jeep Liberty. Got any ideas?
Why are the front hubs splined for a drive axle?
Mr Nelson how many tickets do have and do the customers pay them
The Camaro is caught up in the mustangs back Draft
Who holds the record so far for top speed at the TX mile event? Guess I could Google it. And teh level of detail on the cars/motors the put out is on another level imo
That's why I gave Tom the privilege of tuning my Silverado LOL
