While I prefer my classic muscle car to be as close to original as possible, this guy’s high-tech 1969 GTO is simply bad ass.

Bad link steve.
Doesn't this always end up in a disaster for the MythBusters??

Inventive, decent taste in music (RUSH) Don't care for the color though.
One thing I'd like to see is under the hood. To get a car to remote start takes fuel injection and I'd like to see if he's using a TBI or a MPFI setup. IF it's carbed he'd have to have solenoids to pump the pedal and control the throttle.That's more trouble than it's worth so it's likely FI.
I'd say it's prolly one of those standard TBI bolt-on systems you can get for them. Regardless, it's pretty sweet.
If I could get this app ported to my Droid/Android OS, I'd seriously consider doing it to my car, hah.

I'm confused. The RedEye is an infared receiver, where does the wireless network come into play?

Remote start require FI? That's news to me, especially since I did it on a 77 350 2bbl.... Oh well.
But whatever he's doing, it's bad-ass. I thought of completely automating my truck several years ago, but never had the money or the skill to follow through with it.
Two things come to mind...
Either you used an electric fuel pump to prime the bowls or you had a solenoid to blip the throttle because there's no way in hell you're going to start a carbureted car, especially a chevy, without blipping the throttle at least once on a cold start. Warm start, yes but not a cold start.
Or your remote let you keep cranking till it finally started.
EIther way it's far easier with fuel injection.
It's called having a properly tuned carb. I NEVER had to touch the gas pedal to start my truck. It always started right off the bat, even when it was cold (admittedly it never gets much lower than 10-15ºF here).
Prime the bowls? They should always be full of gas as long as the floats are good, the needles seat, and the bowl gaskets are good. Or, were you talking about something different. Any engine with good compression and no air leaks should be able to suck the gas it needs, through the jets, to start.
Well, you're the exception not the rule. If what you state was the norm then there wouldn't be Carb kits for remote start alarms.
I have NEVER owned any make of carbureted vehicle that didn't AT LEAST have to have to choke set to start cold and I've owned a lot of them.
Kudos to you though, you've got a gem there.
Not without the choke set and DEFINTELY not on a chevy.
