True patriot puts these tires to the slaughter with smoky burnouts.
Shoutout to YouTube personality Pyrobano, who has a wide array of videos showcasing his 2017 Camaro SS. Looking at his other videos, we found that his Camaro SS is fitted with a manual transmission. While it is relatively stock, it appears as though he has some exhaust system modifications. Internet Police should look away now, as catalytic converters have been removed. Following those cat deletes are a set of cutouts – both of which help the LT1 breathe a little easier and roar a little louder.
We also know that prior to this video, Pyrobano was planning to get new tires. This means he has been tasked with finishing off the old tires in the best way possible – monstrous burnouts. Good on him for not leaving any tire to waste. Talk about sustainability and accountability, we salute this maniac.
At first, the Camaro is off in the distance, tires already spinning and the car slowly creeping towards the camera. As the engine roars through the custom exhaust system, smoke rolls from the rear tires. As the car picks up speed, the burnout quickly tapers off.
Fortunately, the second part of the video features a proper burnout, with the Camaro SS sitting in one spot. When this second, stronger burnout begins, the car lurches forward a bit as the driver gets the tires spinning, but once the front tires have stopped sliding, the LT1 keeps both rear tires smoking hard in front of the camera for the better part of 30 seconds. This second burnout also ends with a rolling burnout as the Camaro speeds away from the camera, but the smoke from the standing portion of the burnout is so thick that we can’t see it.
"Before I was old enough to walk, my dad was taking me to various types of racing events, from local drag racing to the Daytona 500," says Patrick Rall, a lifetime automotive expert, diehard Dodge fan, and respected auto journalist for over 10 years. "He owned a repair shop and had a variety of performance cars when I was young, but by the time I was 16, he was ready to build me my first drag car – a 1983 Dodge Mirada that ran low 12s. I spent 10 years traveling around the country, racing with my dad by my side. While we live in different areas of the country, my dad still drag races at 80 years old in the car that he built when I was 16 while I race other vehicles, including my 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and my 1972 Dodge Demon 340.
"Although I went to college for accounting, my time in my dad’s shop growing up allowed me the knowledge to spend time working as a mechanic before getting my accounting degree, at which point I worked in the office of a dealership group. While I was working in the accounting world, I continued racing and taking pictures of cars at the track. Over time, I began showing off those pictures online and that led to my writing.
"Ten years ago, I left the accounting world to become a full-time automotive writer and I am living proof that if you love what you do, you will never “work” a day in your life," adds Rall, who has clocked in time as an auto mechanic, longtime drag racer and now automotive journalist who contributes to nearly a dozen popular auto websites dedicated to fellow enthusiasts.
"I love covering the automotive industry and everything involved with the job. I was fortunate to turn my love of the automotive world into a hobby that led to an exciting career, with my past of working as a mechanic and as an accountant in the automotive world provides me with a unique perspective of the industry.
"My experience drag racing for more than 20 years coupled with a newfound interest in road racing over the past decade allows me to push performance cars to their limit, while my role as a horse stable manager gives me vast experience towing and hauling with all of the newest trucks on the market today.
