I want to see Matt and Mad Mike do tandems together. Imagine a McLaren P1 and a Corvette C8 inches from each other along a wall while creating the screaming sound they would make together. Crazy.
Honestly that would be sick af. Yeaaaaa Matt is known for wrecking shit but for one or 2 runs to keep it clean maaan that would be a sight to see. It would also show how crazy and how far a simple "drift car" has come.
Watching Matt build this, he seems like a goofy knuckledragger (like most of us gear heads), but hearing him do this interview you realize there is so much knowledge, thought and planning running through his head. I met him last year and he was also so kind and genuine…a great drift ambassador!
This channel has really become one of the top 3 automotive channels on TH-cam, while other automotive TH-camrs are trying to sell “giveaways” this guy delivers the goods without the nonsense
Between Matt's C8 and Chelsea's Cayman, it feels these guys are building the drift cars of the future. Been following both builds since the beginning and I'm so excited for Matt to take this monster to the track.
this was great, felt like old school hoonigan again, everyone actually knowing each other, hert dropping by, it was nice. great video for something so impromptu Larry!
I’m stoked for Matt. He’s an incredible car builder/fabricator. Super nice dude as well. Works his ass off (like many people do in Motorsports of course). Really happy he went with an insane NA LS. I like the “simplicity” 😂😂. All the belt issues he’s had with the pro charger in comp. Plus, look at RTR. They’re fully NA with nitrous and that’s the way to go it seems. Can’t wait until he dials this car in during 2025 and hopefully we see it destroy tires in 2026 FD. Also.. Hert… this dude has been building sick FD cars for years. He’s also one of the best out there.
Black Smoke racing's Mercedes benz s123 diesel wagon drift car is my favorite thisyear, this is close second. Love when people do some unique drift builds
That car came out so amazing even through watching the all of the series. It’s still mind blowing. And Part Shop Max literally makes the best drift parts period. They did amazing on that front end. Great build Matt
I'm not into drifting very much but I know enough about cars and racing that I have an appreciation for the sport. However, this is the sickest C8 I have seen on the net yet!
Thanks to Matt's team on blazing this trail on getting the Bowtie midengine revolution starting to trickle down to us that are building our own dreams🤙🏻
Concept Performance is THE most slept on engine block manufacturer in the world. Matt basically did what I've been dreaming of doing for over a decade.
its so freakin awesome to watch this come together since the beginning. the c8 looks so sick, and the compassion and knowledge behind it is definitely seen. "Matt Field gets the win" a running fd chat joke but you definitely winning with this one man!
@mattfield777 absolutely killed this build. The series is great over on his channel, you can tell they spent a lot of time thinking through things. Awesome work and another great video Larry cheers
just a fantastic piece of machinery , he built one hell of a tire eater . is this the future of Drifting ? a whole new class of drift car ? the Liberty walk kit sends this car into another level . great story Lar . Matt is a great drifter with a passion for our sideways hooligan sport . be safe from Dublin
Not a vette fan really. Maybe the old 63 and such. But this is a Brilliant build. Everything about it. I love that the fuel cell is still easy to swap a pump in/out and not "Drop the Tank!" nonsense like So many cars (not even drift cars.. just cars... )
10:58 Lemme get this straight: this man built a mid-engined drift car (already an absurd concept usually reserved for demo cars) out of a flood-damaged C8, and basically built the mother and father of all small blocks with crankshaft throws so long and a rev limit so high that the pistons nearly break the sound barrier... *_...and he wants to compete in this thing?_* Next to the unique and sophisticated GTA-GT300s in Japan's Super GT, the wild west of drifting is my favorite form of automobile sport. Thank you, Matt Field, for reminding me why.
40/60 to the rear is great. The Sultan is out there with an LS swapped 911 using that weight bias that works great. He said he had to put ballast up front otherwise it won't work much after 62% rear, but yeah, 40/60 is completely fine.
@@sagnik8432 He literally says his ultimate goal is to bring it to FD lol. Interview at Irwindale said he has at least one more season on the C6. Think of it as development year before bringing it to FD like Vaughn did with the s550.
I was under the impression that the FD rules banned cars that weren't front-engined, but looking at the rulebook reveals no such thing. This could get out of hand, and I am _extremely_ here for it.
It’s funny, I didn’t hate it but I never liked the look of the C8 and the S650 but these crazy mfs in FD always find a way to build the car so beautifully that I grow to like them more the more I see them.. much appreciated Matt and RTR lol
I know this is a FD car, but if Matt could get his hands on a C8 GT3 car aero package, and limit the steering angle, this car could probably set outright unlimited class lap records all over North America....Wild.
I wasnt paying attention to who's channel this was on and thought it was matts and was apploding his smart move of having the legend chen interview him for his reveal for his channel lol
Can’t wait till we can see this thing sideways and when it makes its FD debut. I’m assuming this year at least will be a development year like Vaughn did with the RTR S550.

Matt’s gonna put him in the wall💀
@@angelgalindo1613you’re so funny bro
Honestly that would be sick af. Yeaaaaa Matt is known for wrecking shit but for one or 2 runs to keep it clean maaan that would be a sight to see. It would also show how crazy and how far a simple "drift car" has come.
If it’s got a rotary, it’s not a McLaren. 🙆🏼♂️ it may have the body of one, but it’s not one.
@DirtyDee123 ok bro, go buy a mclaren chassis and lmk how it goes since you wanna be so technical about shit lol

What an incredible build. We're very proud to be part of this build and we'll be buying your print Larry!
I think Borla got their money's worth of on this sponsorship, that's super cool. Heatwave too, love them!
this was great, felt like old school hoonigan again, everyone actually knowing each other, hert dropping by, it was nice. great video for something so impromptu Larry!
This.is.SICK! We need an event strictly for high level exotic one off builds. Matt’s C8, Mikes McLaren, Adam’s Supra, Chelsea’s Porsche, etc. 💸💸💸
Awesome feature!!!

Very cool listening to him nerd out about this build. You can tell he put a lot of time and effort into getting everything right
This along with the throtl R34 are the best purpose built functional show cars this year IMHO
Black Smoke racing's Mercedes benz s123 diesel wagon drift car is my favorite thisyear, this is close second. Love when people do some unique drift builds
Gotta love Matt, he's just a humble car guy who's actually out there living his dreams!
Love seeing the random superstars just walkin around....heŕt....kelsey.....so many just passing by!
TOTALLY AWSOME MANUAL TRANSMISSION IN A C8 CORVETTE!!!!! THANK YOU, WEDELL,!!!!!
That car came out so amazing even through watching the all of the series. It’s still mind blowing. And Part Shop Max literally makes the best drift parts period. They did amazing on that front end. Great build Matt
I'm not into drifting very much but I know enough about cars and racing that I have an appreciation for the sport. However, this is the sickest C8 I have seen on the net yet!
Car is so sick. Matts a really good speaker im looking forward to seeing and hearing this thing

Can’t wait to hear it!
I’ve been following the build since its conception.
Methree
THANK YOU, LARRY AND MATT!!!!!! I LOVE SPENDING TIME WITH MY FORMULA DRIFT FAMILY!!!!
larry killing it with these videos
its so freakin awesome to watch this come together since the beginning. the c8 looks so sick, and the compassion and knowledge behind it is definitely seen.
"Matt Field gets the win" a running fd chat joke but you definitely winning with this one man!
I was so curious to see a detailed video of this car. So thank you for this Larry 🙏🏾
@mattfield777 absolutely killed this build. The series is great over on his channel, you can tell they spent a lot of time thinking through things. Awesome work and another great video Larry cheers
So sick, its bad ass seeing how passionate he is about it
just a fantastic piece of machinery , he built one hell of a tire eater . is this the future of Drifting ? a whole new class of drift car ?
the Liberty walk kit sends this car into another level .
great story Lar . Matt is a great drifter with a passion for our sideways hooligan sport .
be safe from Dublin
IT'S HERE! ITS FINALLY HERE! I have watched every episode of this build! Gah it looks amazing I'm sure it will perform amazing too!
Top 10 cars Larry has featured in the last 5 years. Good job sir
4:32 Oh my God. The guy in the white shirt back there is ACF. The best ECU tuner in Brazil.
Something about this dude makes him so watchable and his builds definitely add to the equation.
Mat and Lary should tandem their project cars together for some sick shots!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
I been waiting so long to see this car in particular @MattField congratulations 🎊 🍾 brother
I'm never miss matt episode 💪😋👍 genius built
Spotted myself in the video! So cool to watch this interview take place! Larry never disappoints.
Such a sick built. Love the in-depth stuff!
Build
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! A MUST WATCH!!!!
Incredible video Larry! Super interesting to listen to and Matt is great on camera
I love how passionate Matt is about this car man! So stoked for him!!
Once again Larry killing the automotive content. Thank you.
Thank you Larry for upload. Cheers to Matt🎉. Rooting for a succesful campaign Next Year's FD. Love the work always Matt.
Thank you for Showcasing this Larry. I've been obsessing over this build all year and Matt doesn't get enough credit or views.
Ill take a ride with you any day Matt love the build nice coverage Larry.
Not a vette fan really. Maybe the old 63 and such. But this is a Brilliant build. Everything about it. I love that the fuel cell is still easy to swap a pump in/out and not "Drop the Tank!" nonsense like So many cars (not even drift cars.. just cars... )
probably the most tech laden drift car I have ever seen
I've seen a p1 via RedBull 🔼
@ it’s a McLaren 570S GT3 car with a body panel swap
its SOOO clean. Sick build Top to bottom!!
Car came out amazing. Running a wall in it is gonna be interesting to watch for sure
It would be cool to see the C8 tandem with DDE ferrari build. Mike and Matt throwback drifting.
10:58 Lemme get this straight: this man built a mid-engined drift car (already an absurd concept usually reserved for demo cars) out of a flood-damaged C8, and basically built the mother and father of all small blocks with crankshaft throws so long and a rev limit so high that the pistons nearly break the sound barrier...
*_...and he wants to compete in this thing?_*
Next to the unique and sophisticated GTA-GT300s in Japan's Super GT, the wild west of drifting is my favorite form of automobile sport. Thank you, Matt Field, for reminding me why.
THANK YOU BORLA!!!! A TOTALLYA WSOME EXHAUST SYSTEM!!!!
That is sooo sick!!! I cant wait to hear that thing rip!!
I LOVE IT!!!! TOTALLYA WSOME INNOVATION!!!! I LOVE EVERYTHING!!!!
That 8 to 1 set up is damn flawless
What a crazy build, looks soo good 👍😊❤
I've been waiting for this moment my whole life
This build is so inspiring to me. S85 i8 is my version
How on earth are you fitting a S85 into an i8?? I would love to do an i8 swap someday, Such a cool chassis with an underwhelming powertrain.
@ I’m gonna cut the fuck outta it and likely do a tube chassis. It’s a race car build.
@ hell yea, let it eat
@ a couple people already tried it with the s65 but they had to either mount it up front or cut the tub
40/60 to the rear is great. The Sultan is out there with an LS swapped 911 using that weight bias that works great. He said he had to put ballast up front otherwise it won't work much after 62% rear, but yeah, 40/60 is completely fine.
Drifting a mid engine car just screams next level I have no clue of that level of skill as seems to me would take next level skills
THANK YOU, ANDERSON COMPOSITES!!!!!
I LOVE IT!!!! LS EXTREME!!!!
It turned out SOOO SICK!
Great job!
Can’t wait to see Field tear up a track in it. ❤️🤘
SOOOOOOO.....Its not an LS. I hope Matt gets some great backing for this season. A lot of one-off parts with this build.
Won't be his FD car. Just his demo car for events like Gridlife
@@sagnik8432 He literally says his ultimate goal is to bring it to FD lol. Interview at Irwindale said he has at least one more season on the C6. Think of it as development year before bringing it to FD like Vaughn did with the s550.
@@cobratuner that's what I meant. He'll definitely use the next season to sort out the C8 a bit better to get the platform more FD-ready
Agreed, but I’m sure he’ll have a spare motor by the time the season starts.
I was under the impression that the FD rules banned cars that weren't front-engined, but looking at the rulebook reveals no such thing.
This could get out of hand, and I am _extremely_ here for it.
Wow That Car Is Insane so flood title car is the way to go I am looking into them now
Great video a hole lot of knowledge 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Now thats a damn mean machine a lot of time and money went into building that thing
WELCOME TO THE NEW STARDARD OF FORMULA DRIFT!!!!
This is cool af. Bless Up.
That one guy in the back just holding the phone behind Y’all is wild lol no shame haha
so sick. great to see a flood car get another lease on life
I NEED TO BUY MORE CORVETTE PARTS FOR THE EDSEL!!!! I AM ON THE RIGHT TRACK!!!!
Makes me miss the Hankook 911 GT2 for some reason
This is insane
Hert be having cameos everywhere😂
This is a Awesome car❤!
I need to hear that monster omg.
PLEASE KEEP US UPDATED ON YOUR PROGRESS!!!!
THANK YOU, SEMA,!!!!
Say what you will about Matt Field but his energy and passion is rivaled only to Jeff Jones and I love it.
So much fun
I love that kelsey rowlings just made a cameo in the vid 😂😂
super cool
It’s funny, I didn’t hate it but I never liked the look of the C8 and the S650 but these crazy mfs in FD always find a way to build the car so beautifully that I grow to like them more the more I see them.. much appreciated Matt and RTR lol
Thank you for video 🤘🏿🔥
I know this is a FD car, but if Matt could get his hands on a C8 GT3 car aero package, and limit the steering angle, this car could probably set outright unlimited class lap records all over North America....Wild.
I wasnt paying attention to who's channel this was on and thought it was matts and was apploding his smart move of having the legend chen interview him for his reveal for his channel lol
My favorite build of '24 by far
Can’t wait till we can see this thing sideways and when it makes its FD debut. I’m assuming this year at least will be a development year like Vaughn did with the RTR S550.
"If this is what it means to be old then i wanna be old as fuck!!" 😂😂😂
that's The Beast form the Bay!!
The amount of time CAD was said in this video should be the biggest takeaway of sema this year
21:50 Gary spotted
Can the roof still be removed like a normal c8? If so that'd be crazy to see a modern convertible in FD
NA !!!!!! TOTALLY AWSOME!!!!
Hopefully they can make this thing work good because it looks NASTY!
SUGGESTION: HOT ROD MAGAZINE!!!!
I would be concerned about tire debris catching fire in that engine bay. Phenomenal build nonetheless.
the LTs are better for power especially NA. brandon hill has a 454LT making 1000+ crank N/A
So sick!!
Can't Wait for Formula Drift 2025...🤔👍
