That's me at 0:38 getting stomped by a Mercury Cyclone. I knew I would, but that didn't matter. I loved being at the Supercar Showdown and would participate in most of the subsequent events racing whatever I was driving at the time. Great memories !
Hello! While navigating the world of crime documentaries, don't forget to stop by my latest video. Your comment is precious to me. See you soon!Just dropped a new video, this time diving into a real crime documentary. I'm sure you'll find it intriguing. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts, whether positive or negative.
Jim Mino was a legend with the Ram Air II Pontiac. He could make the Air 2 outperform Super Duty 455's and the Ram Air 4. RIP and thanks for the memories.
@@johnnyboyssite I think the ZL-1 and the 68 Firebird ran in the 107-108 range, but that Hemi was fast too. The cars in these videos ran more representative times for muscle cars that were on the street back then.
Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they even want to slow down all the gas pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime. " Bundesabgasbespaßungsverbotsverordnung" in German.()()()()
So cool to see these races from back in the day. It sure puts everything into the proper perspective of what these cars ran like when they were all "Stock" lol. Thank you for uploading this!
I agree, I think the times are more representative of what they ran in true street condition. I love all muscle cars, but did you catch the "authentic" ZL-1 powershifting through the gears? That car is probably worth high six-figures today, and I think it is only a show car today!
I just recently converted the entire 1986 Supercar Showdown from VHS to digital - I know portions of the 1987 Supercar Showdown are online. I would like to get this out to the Musclecar world, but I am a youtube novice. This shows how the cars ran before all the cars were optimized in today's pure stock events
