Great vlog, thanks for posting and sharing with us. I used to get demerits for reading car magazines in classes in high school. This race cost me 5 points in one day alone!!! But, I survived and still read my car magazines, you tube race coverage and cable too!!.

[@lamascotapan]

Talk about high performance, these Gents are racing (exciting).

[@samhouston4326]

Awesome sounding beast but where is that 18 wheeler that is supposed to come out of nowhere and drive you off the cliff in a giant fireball? Car seems to be set up good. Looks like a blast.

[@herpnderpn2484]

They close down those sections of road. There's a video of either El Buick or la bufa through Mexico City in broad day doing at least 120.

[@ezragonzalez8936]

Damm that Olds sounds like a Ferrari 250 gt!! From petrolicious! !! Fantastic!!

[@mrdigitalextreme]

Yes, El Toro Loco. Were you at the race in 99-2000?

[@magnusjonsson9364]

Nice video! :) is there a picture of this particular car?

[@yoyovw69]

GOOD DRIFT AT 4:27 MINUTE

[@z06king]

Didnt think this sounded like an Olds Rocket 88 mill. I had a 50 Olds as a kid. wouldnt I have loved to have it run and sound like this?

[@tristantruebody9793]

Im obsessed with this car do you know roughly how much power it put out? I really want to build one like it any other details would be great.

Thanks, one day I'll be back with more power and less weight

[@jacktaylor3793]

[@tractoragogo7334]

[@victorramirez5396]

Ese carro esta demasiado arreglado para catalogarlo como un clásico de La Panamerican...caja de cambios, suspensión, el motor...etc.
