Yet another ride in a +1000 HP Chevy Corvette!

I've seen and filmed a bunch of awesome high power custom-built Chevy Corvettes this year, like the SIX-5, the fastest street legal C2 Corvette in the world, +200mph classic that I got to experience onboard on a track, and there's a few other Corvettes as well.

But the Corvette I wanna talk about now is this supercharged C5 that I got the chance to film exclusively here in Finland.

The beast in question is yet another crazy track machine producing over 1000 HP, plus it also has a NOS kit (Nitrous Oxide System) installed as well.
This car lets you know it means business just the way it sounds. It's got a loud Borla Exhaust system fitted in, and there's the supercharger whine, and with that shiny orange paint and a few decals on the exterior it sure won't go unnoticed!
The owner is a very nice guy, and he took me on a little spin around town with the car, and man you really don't need to be on a highway or on a track to feel all that power that V8 engine produces! Just a gentle push on the pedal and you feel things in your stomach, and when you add all the loud sounds this car makes, to drive it just around a block or two is enough to be an amazing experience!

You can hear the loud V8 sounds this car makes, check out the onboard ride and see more specs about this car in the video below or at the JAMBOOLIO Youtube Channel, thanks!

I wanna thank TOMAS, the owner of this Chevrolet Corvette C5, it's awesome!

The world's fastest C2 Corvette: SIX-5

Last weekend at the 'Unlimited Racing' event in Lappeenranta Finland, I had the amazing opportunity to film the world's fastest C2 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray (1965) up close, and not only that, I got to experience the power and speed of this amazing muscle car classic as a passenger on a high speed run on track!

This stunning car has clocked 200+ mph ( 322 km/h ) on a standing mile run (7.6.2014 Lappeenranta, Finland) making it the worlds fastest street legal C2 Corvette. Pretty epic speed for an almost 50 year old automobile!
The custom built Small Block 400cid 6.5L V8 engine produces 1000+ HP with the NOS kit (Nitrous Oxide System).

Here's a small teaser clip of the upcoming videos that will include a high speed onboard ride on track, engine startups and brutal V8 and exhaust sound, huge revs, overview of the car and its engine bay, GoPro track footage and much much more.

Helsinki - A Car Mecca?

I wanted to talk a little about Helsinki, the capital of Finland, and its car scene.

You don't hear too often Helsinki mentioned in conversations involving the coolest and rarest cars. But the thing is, when you think about it, carwise Helsinki has pretty much everything. You just have to be in the right place at the right time. Bare with me, and let me explain.

Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG V12

Summertime is the keyword here. You see, on a regular sunny day (in June, July, August), seeing a Ferrari or a Lamborghini parked in front of the Hotel Kämp is not a rare thing, even the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse (!!) was spotted driving down the Esplanade in Helsinki last summer.

The car dealerships in Herttoniemi have pretty sweet collection of exotics on display and so on. All in all, the supercar-scene is in pretty nice shape, but only when it's summertime.

Ferrari 360 Spider & Mercedes SLS AMG Roadster

Lamborghini Gallardo SE

Bentley Continental GT V8

But when we start talking about those loud, American Muscle Cars with rumbling V8's, old and new, a whole new perspective is born!

Same thing applies here too though; the right place and the right time, but in a whole new level. And that place is the Helsinki Market Square, and the time is every first Friday of the month (excluding wintertime).

Ford Mustang Shelby GT500

That is the place and the time that you will see every imaginable Muscle Car classic (Bullitt Mustang, Challengers, Chargers, Cobras, etc. etc.) or the latest V8-monsters (Shelby GT500, Challenger SRT-8 etc.), Hot Rods, even a few Supercars and European classics (70's/80s Ferraris, Porsches etc.) show up every now and then... And all this is called the 'Helsinki Cruising Night' (aka 'Stadin Cruising'), an event, or actually a car meet that's been going on decades now, and has been growing bigger and bigger every year.

Chevrolet Corvette C2 Sting Ray

ZR6X Extreme Wide Body Corvette C6

1970 Dodge Challenger

Even though Finland is such a small country, it's filled with all kinds of classic American cars. I mean, every single time there's dozens of cars in this event you haven't seen there before.

Here you get to hear live all these V8-engines rumbling at the same time, and literally smell the gasoline in the air, it's such a great atmosphere for a car enthusiast, and this "show" doesn't cost a dime, but you have to be there in person to know what I'm on about.

Anyways, maybe the best way to describe this fantastic event is to show you these few videos from last year, filmed in the heart of Helsinki...

...so in other words, perhaps Helsinki is not the "Supercar heaven", say like Monaco or Dubai, but when talking about those loud V8 Muscle Cars, at least here in Europe, Helsinki may just be a Car Mecca after all, but I say this once more, only when it's summertime.

American V8 Muscle Cars - Sights and Sounds!

Here's my new video I just uploaded featuring classic American Muscle Cars with huge V8 engines and loud exhausts making some epic sounds!
All these cars were filmed during summer 2013 in monthly car meets held in Kotka, Finland.

I thought I'd show you guys the video, but also some photo shots I took at these events, pretty cool cars if you ask me, enjoy!
