    I agree, this video is lame. The AI voiceover is horrible and the video footage has older Camero’s as well as a Dodge Daytona Turbo Z (which has nothing to do with the content of the video). Low effort click bait…

    I like the topic; however, I am puzzled by the Dodge and Nissan Z cars that were shown in the video.

    Baldwin Motion did a camaro also in the 80s with a turbo. Yenko isn't the only player

    You're right! Baldwin Motion's turbocharged Camaros are fantastic machines too. There's always more to learn about these rare muscle cars. Perhaps a future video comparing the two?

    Hello Rare Cars! I liked and subscribed in anticipation of more great videos to come. How about a short documentary for my archive on MY car? I have a 1999 Pontiac Trans/Am FIREHAWK. I am lucky enough to be able to say that I actually own my dream car. Thanks for the great video on the Yenko Camaro!

    I was all excited hearing about this special Camaro and I get this AI voice over on all these other Yenko cars. My first car was a 85 Z28 350 small block black on black . Didn't take long before I was doing doughnuts in the parking lot. 😊. I'm in search for a project car to own

    hey Tony, Sorry to disappoint on the voiceover, but that Yenko Turbo Z is a rare bird! Glad you stuck around to check it out though. Black on black 85 Z28 sounds sweet - doughnuts and all! What kind of project car are you thinking about?

    The Yenko Turbo Z is the rarest Camaro of all time 19 were built in 1981 I would like to have a die cast version of it someday

    19 is definitely a very low number! Have you seen any custom diecast makers tackle the Yenko Turbo Z? They might be your best bet for such a rare ride.

    Bottom Line: Yenko's failure was in jumping on the 'Turbo' bandwagon and thinking anyone had $10k to just throw around for them. Keep in mind, for the cost of a mild dome piston set (about $500 in 1980 dollars), he could have had as much, if not more of the same horsepower numbers (a 9.5:1 Chevy 350 will make an EASY 325 hp)...but, instead of 'budget HP', he went with 'expensive fad HP'...the result? Only 16 or so units sold.

    You wanna know why only 1% of viewers are subscribed? Because this is just another lazy AI automotive breakdown channel that can’t even get their AI model to pronounce the name of the car the video is about correctly.

    Not for nothing I like the subject matter that Z was very rare and seeing that I owned 78 and 81 I didn’t even know this was available to order but anyway why you’re showing Dodge Daytona turbo Z 280 Z Chevelle And what a rough I saw on there dude at least keep it to all Camaros even if you can’t come up with all the pictures of a turbo Z and AI gotta go
