Even with the beefed up motor, and much lower weight, the
new SS prevails over the old SS. All hail to the chief.!!

does anyone else find it odd that they are racing on a bridge off a cliff? At least there is water...

Kinda looks like Lake Shasta or Whiskeytown up by Redding but I haven't been there in at least 9 years. Waiting for video to load since it's kinda slow here. Should be cool. Can't wait to repower my 68 with an LS3 or better. I really enjoy the new engines GM is making these days. Not that the old ones were bad but these have power, fuel economy, reduced emissions...what more could we want. So sad to see GM wherethey're at but I can't blame them entirely. We wanted hot rods for the most part and they delivered while still meeting EPA guidlines. I just think that's some pretty good engineering right there. Keep the faith GM folks. It'll be hard at times but our cars and trucks still have lots of miles left in them.
