Short ben is a fantastic driver, he was really whipping that camaro. I would have liked to see rally when it wasn’t wet and muddy, it would have been more legit but man that camaro should be easily pushing 450 to the wheels. Speaking from first hand experience those new edge mustangs are extremely slow and expensive to mod, 2v 4.6 puts no power down. Very surprised they went with one instead of an LS.

the 4.6 2v is defiently not expensive to mod, yes it makes less hp then the ls no debate but you can get a turbo kit just as cheap for the 4.6 as you can for the ls1 and they can make good power for cheap and parts are dummy cheap too in general, also that GT has a way better rear end than the camaro it just all came down to how they spent the budgets.

17:54 Ben, to answer your question, probably tens of thousands of $1 bets have been wagered on autocross runs. And every bill has a story 💸 Some people are so proud of their won dollar bills, they are never spent, but collected. They are often adhered to tool boxes, or even framed on the walls of the garage. A fun, cheap memory that will last a lifetime 😎 Fantastic video gents 🍻 Hope to run into you out and about 🏁

Its 2 people vs 2 people why not have both drivers do the ''race'' and combine the times. If one screws it up the other one has to make up the time. I don't really get why only 1 guy is driving the car and the other one just has to stand there and look at it the whole time. It would be way more fun to see both drivers driving.

Nothing happened to the motor and the turbo is fine the Camaro legit locked the front right tire and just smoked it up till it came out of retirement and the smoke cleared. Love the Camaro 🔥
You can definitely tell how much the handling mods helped the mustang in the autocross. Ended up being a lot closer than I thought it would be though. I really thought the ls1 would obliterate the 4.6 in all three events. Neither cars were well equipped for the mud though 😂

Something was wrong with that Z28. It got through the 1/4 in 3rd gear ? Those 6spd cars have 3.42's . They also ran mid 13's. What did the turbo do ? Those are stock motor times. They should have used better tires

Yeah I'm kinda baffled. Mine stock with nothing more than sticky tires ran a 12.9 in the 1/4 on my third attempt once I figured out how to launch it well. The LS stock produces anywhere from 285 to 310 at the rear wheels depending on year. This car should have been pushing at least 360-380 at the rear wheels conservatively in my opinion. And you are right tires make a hell of a difference. I don't know what the width of those C6 wheels they have are but I upgraded to 17x9 snowflake replica wheels specifically made for the 4th Gen fbody. First thing I ever did with mine is all the maintenance items on the car including replacing diff fluid and also replaced the tires.

honestly do a season 2 of the American car challenge. Just with a bigger budget to fix the problems that they currently have. maybe idfk GET SOME GODDAMN BRAKES and TIRES. Also, if you need koni/bilstein shocks, springs and a Panhard bar for it hmu I'll give you "a real nice good good guy good friends of bens price." I'm trying to sell my firebird and haven't gotten to replacing it so yeah it would be cool to see it on the channel.

Yo, LS1 camaros run 13s stock, something wrong there with the turbo setup
This was like taking a knife to a gun fight. taking a 2v 4.6 with sucky tires vs a LS with a turbo and decent tires. Not sure this was a fair fight.
I'm hoping you guys keep these cars and do a series challenge with them. Where every year you both groups dump another set budget into both of these cars. Maybe even invite another channel just for giggles and hopefully grow it into a whole thing. A budget car KZreadr shootout deal
You guys managed to make that old Subaru look really good
I would absolutely love to see some more of the Camaro without the budget restriction. A new paint job, tires, suspension, and a proper tune at the dyno
I hope they film another event like this. "With Trucks"! 4x4 mud trail race, hill climb, drag race! Yeah boiii!
I love this series please make more content like this. Next time you guys should calculate the total time after 3 runs. Whoever has the overall lowest TOTAL time wins!!
Id love to see a second round, same events(including the rally) same cars, but some more mods now that you guys have found the weak points. Then bring out a Japanese/Euro cars with the same money in them. I think that could get very interesting.
Racers prayer: Lord I pray as we race today, Keep me safe along the way, Not just me, but the others too, As they perform the jobs they do. Lord I know that in a race, I, the driver set the pace. Let not my desire for more speed, Warp my jusdgement, turn to greed. From green to checkered guide me through, to give me the strength to know what to do. Remind me often in the race of life how to go with all the strife. Help me accept the wins I may receive and all defeats graciously. Ride with me, don't allow me to lag. Guide me through to the checkered flag. Ladies and Gentlemen, Start your engines!
100% knew you'd love the cheap cramro. Fix it. That should be a 12 second car in bad conditions.
The smoke was you locking the front right braking, front left also locked up a couple times in the mud, might have a caliper that's not doing so hot
That Camaro is definitely not making 600hp and only trapping 110. My heavier 5th gen made 430 to the wheels will trap 115
Ben:"Is that 10/10ths? Is that it?" Humble: "The car's got more in it." Ben: " I mean.. so.... so do we."
Rarely cross should definitely be the last event. It’s going to be a big pain in the ass getting all that mud from underneath the car.
As a import guy, pretty amazing to see both these cars handle the race 🙏 side note, I’m glad the Camaro is good still
Cool! Looks like fun. I’ve been a fan of DAP & Humble Mechanic for a while. If you guys get to Mooresville, NC, it would be great to meet you.
"with the long gears we'll probably finish in 4th gear. that's amazing" Meanwhile every drag racer is screaming at their screen that is the norm... lol
This was great and I loved how close the cars were despite being built quite differently. I haven't watched last years competition but I definitely will tonight. Another vote for updates on the Camaro!
I’m hoping season 3 is German cars and maybe something to do with drifting. I’d love to see some clapped out BMW’s or a somehow rwd swapped Audi sliding
If you could it would be nice to throw another $2500 into each car and come back and do it again. Or bring out the big guns and do $5000 or another $7500 each. Great series.
