Mechanical grip, tires, and weight is what's keeping this car on the road; no wings or ground effects. Driving skills to the max with handling this car.

What a ride! What a drive! Thank you for allowing me to run around the Road America in your Corvette. Peace

A V8 is my favorite music instrument!

Wow, the moment at 2.40 minutes, just a near perfect neutral slide with a dab of power oversteer, fantastic! The car is surprising neutral and light to the touch.

Man! What a vid! Really! Super nice sound of that 427 ci BB, as well as the driving quality of the Driver 👍🏼

Brilliant, thank you. Great memories of the Big Bore A, B production, A, B sports racer, A Sedan SCCA Nationals back in the day. So lucky to have seen it.

I love all those who say he's not pushing it. He's sideways in a corner or two and he's running over 170 on bias ply tires. That guy is driving that car and doing a good job with it. This is proof you don't need rev match on new cars, you do it yourself.

It's all about driving for the fun of it. You don't need to ring the piss out of it to get a smile on your face. Just hearing that motor scream would make me grin ear to ear. The throttle wacking on the down shift is sexy as hell.

totally cool!!!!!!!I Love these "ride along" videos and they are really good when they are a track you are familiar with

I like how he put some front brake in the car after going into the first 2 turns of lap 3. definitely see some oversteer in the wheel on heavy braking. Good job on those tires,definitely finesse there. Motor sounded great.

That was the coolest thing I've seen in months, thank you very much!!!!

one of my favorite videos. thanks.

B R A V O.... ! fantastic...! getting goosebumps just listening to this. ....One million thank you for sharing this, beautiful noise

Pure magic, thank you for sharing

What a BEAST. Thank for upload this.

What a beautiful sound!

absolutely incredible!!

Ive watched Brent drive he knows how to use his equipment and he wins....notice he qual'd #2 in this vid

The best video I have seen a long time !! And if he does not pushing the car, I'm OK with that. It does not worth the risk. So beautiful car, he is just enjoying the drive....

I was at this event in a newly completed A Production car. It was a blue 1969 Corvette with a 350 (running a rev limit for first miles). It was running all 70's era tech, per the rules. This car looks like a monster by comparison, making probably double the power but...I had a great time none the less. I have a video of my Corvette and the Corvette dedication if you click under my user name and look at the videos. That was a great weekend and re-dedication of the Corvette bridge. This car in this vid is a monster though...I remember watching it.

My Dad took us up to the CanAm's in the early 70's. Canada corner, someone said it was named that for all of the Molson bottles left by workers...... true? Great memories, thanks for posting this.

dam this was pleasantly good, watched the whole thing and wanted more.

Goodness Gracious what a beautiful sound! music to my ears. This is a real race car, as compared to the new breed of PlayStation cars that race now days and sound like lawnmowers. Thanks for sharing.

You should look up a vid of the SVRA group 6 on watkins glen running a C3 chopped roof with a 427 it's intense

The engine was built by Performance Restorations in Mundelein, Illinois

Wow!! and the sound!

That was glorious!

wow indeed so many people clearly dont drive hard in real life judging and pointing their finger yet they dont understand the weight of the car, the power, and the tires made to take a lot of heat and last a long time how slick they are and how much talent is actually needed to drive a car like this hard consistantly. i said it to a youngin just before he almost crashed my 87 rolla :this aint xbox: he knew exactly how it was after he thought he was better than driving

Torque oversteer for days. Great vid, thanks.

Nicely done - very easy to mess up 4th to 2nd downshifts and get the back end hoping and he did not do that. Well done!.

wonderful sound therapy :)

Great c2 427 my man and great race

This is awesome

That's what keeps the heart ticking, nothing better

You said it - BB chevy in good tune plays quite a tune-lol I love all great American cars but GM and Chevys have always been my faves, also BB Pontiacs are awesome, and I have to give deserved respect to Mopar, my own first hand experiences made me a believer - lol

The revs remind me of the movie Bullit chase scene through San Francisco streets.

This dude has a Fastest Street Car shootout Vette also that ran low 7s in the 1/4 back years ago. One of the nicest Vettes ever built by anyone on the planet. Dudes slick.

This guy is blasting around this track damn fast. A very good run and the car sounds great and so is it's performance. This driver knows what he has and how to use it correctly. This car on a 2-3 mile straight would hit 200m.p.h. maybe drop the rear ratio to 3:36:1 to get that speed.

ive always loved the naturall inspired v8s

Seems like he would have been good to have on the L88 teams at Sebring, Daytona, Lemans back in 67

I would love to see him on that road course with his 68 Chevelle

"If the Holman Moody Mustang is here, we might as well put it back on the trailer"...

Road racing is so much cooler than drags or NASCAR. Just the sound alone is much more soul-stirring.

great stuff

Nice! Would like to have seen the car from the outside!

Awesome!!427

I watched this for the first time today 4/20/2022 and kept thinking to myself "How WOULD I drive a million dollar 427 Vette around Road America ?"

Engine must me stroked to get a 427 to wrap the rpm's that fast. Interested what kind of trans too.

Those first 2 laps were hard driven even with traffic.

Could you imagine this car with upgrade shocks wheels & tires ... OMG Lemma at it .. The L88 when it's making RPM like's to wanna pull you out by your ball's It just has so much grunt but lacks the tire technology to really shine ...

imagine how fast they'd be if they had real tires on these things, 700 horse and bias ply skinnies would be scary as shit, awesome non the less

Goodyear Blue streaks are a historic racing tire.

Turn 6 at Road America is hard. This driver does a good job with a car that can easily oversteer.

I'm watching in 2021!

Thanks for letting us close our eyes and pretending to be at the wheel of 700 ponies! :D Cmon you know you were sitting on your couch shifting and steering!

nice driving

Pure muscle.

Nice. Who built the engine?

At first I was thinking he was a little slow getting into it coming out of the turns, but now knowing he was using vintage tires it's best not to overheat them by spinning unnecessarily. Once they get hot they start to get greasy and spinning out is easy.

Snarly, nasty beastie. I love it!

Nothing sounds as sweet as a big block Chevrolet power!!!

Would say Brent has some " grande culhones". 700 hp in a car with really bad bias ply tires? What a sound though. Even the great 2017 Z1 camaro with 620 HP does not sound like this.This is how I remember the 427 1967 Vette sound.Could bring down a small building.

700hp on bias ply tires lol

@GlassTopRX7

That engine is not making anything even close to 700hp. To get a NA 427 700hp you would have to spin way higher than the 6000 or so revs this turning.

i think it has 8 inch wide tires on it,, id say he is doing great.

LOL Super T10, 3.55 gears and he downshifts into second at 100 mph. Downshifting into second is what we do on the street when we make a turn at an intersection.

Bad ass...

Cool, their website seemed more like fabrication, restoration, paint and body stuff.

Everybody's a critic. I wonder what Jim Henson has done that's so great. A classic big block Corvette, I don't blame the guy for not driving balls out imo it's not worth the risk. Common sense it's not so common these days. The man in the Corvette qualified at #2.

If only GM would have supported factory racing in the 60's the cars they would have produced would be INSANE they had the first turbo cars, Grand sports mid engine AWD concepts would have been crazy

That Boss 302 is pretty fast...

Yea..that's what I'm talkin bout...

The exhaust plays bass the tires sing falceto

427 1 of the best big blocks ever built, even better with the early 454's -- gotta go to a hemi to do any better, even then they held their own pretty well ..... but then im a Chevy fan so im biased - lol but I also have healthy respect for Mopar big blocks, friend had a 383 roadrunner that I rode in for years, that engine made gobs of torque and seemed bullet proof, took whatever you dished out and kept on pullin'. Cant say much for BB fords, not as reliable or fast.

I came five times just from the engine sound.
