An LS6 Camaro brings tire smoke to Nick's Garage
Five uploads also make room for a Friday livestream and two drives in a 1964 Chevrolet Bel Air.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
LS6 Camaro Overheating Issue Solved? - Tires Roasted!
“LS6 Camaro Overheating Issue Solved? - Tires Roasted!” turns a cooling problem into the week's biggest draw at Nick's Garage. The full episode followed the short “Z28 with an LS6!” teaser and has reached nearly 40,000 views. It is also the channel's busiest video right now.
The conversation beneath it is pleasingly mechanical. Viewers debate whether the factory shifter would have been the better choice, single out the valve covers and recall their own big-engine Camaros. One remembers putting a 396 into a '76 Camaro in the early '90s. Another says all that torque brings back memories. The tire smoke has plenty of company in the nostalgia department.
Elsewhere, cameraman George's 1964 Bel Air gets both a joy-ride episode and an extra cruise. Those two uploads are the next most active videos, while “Friday Night Live from Nick's Garage” offers a longer hangout as the local driving season gets shorter.
The channel added about 1,000 subscribers over the week, although daily views are currently well below their usual pace. Nearby in the motoring neighborhood, Pico Automotive Diagnostics is having a busier-than-usual viewing day. For Nick, the week's viewing centers on Chevrolet power and a little time back on the road.

Now this is my ideal dream car! In the early 90s I put a 396 in a 76 Camaro and it was a blast!
@silverback8183See it on YouTubeIt's fun times having all that torque under your right foot, brings back memories
@scottsavinski9311See it on YouTubeI agree with you Nick. The first thing I'd do is get rid of that shifter. The factory shifter would've been fine and look better too.

Very tasteful build on that Z28 I actually like everything about it
@Sean-i4rSee it on YouTubeSweet ride! I miss seeing those cars on the road. I had a split bumper '71 Z/28. Miss that car, love my '68 383 S 4 speed Fastback though.
@vincentenk4449See it on YouTubeThose Moroso valve covers are amazing
@keewatin427See it on YouTubeReally sweet second gen Camaro! As always Nick, great work! 👍
@johncaballero8013See it on YouTubeHEY NICK, GREAT JOB SORTING OUT THE OVERHEATING PROBLEMS ON THAT CAMARO. I LIKE THAT YOU INSTALLED A TEMPERATURE SENSOR SWITCH TO AUTOMATICALLY TURN THE FANS ON. JUST LIKE NEWER CARS.
