Old School vs Modern Muscle Cars - drag racing  

Plus modern cars are typically a lot heavier. So torque to weight ratio favours the old cars

@@louistweedale9589 tell that to the 1975 Deville

@@nickyj3571 LOL

Some of the new Hellcats and Cobras will spank the pants off older cars unless they're fully modified and those things are daily drivers nowadays. You see the times on some the newer Mustangs and Challengers. Low 10s. That is lightning.

I'm old school all the way and have a 93 mustang notch with 460 dual carb tunnel ram .and I wouldn't sell 8t for million or trade for a brand new one that I couldn't work on ..you have to drive my car or it will drive you .no cruise control or heated seats it's hard loud fast fire and gas and rubber fire ride and brother I'll have it no other way ........it was my daily driver after my divorce..luckily I only worked 2 Miles down the road at 4 miles to the gallon ....old school rules and the shirts still come up on the boulevard here in Myrtle Beach baby....wooooooooo

True!

and then sell it for 1/3 the value it would be stock...

The classics are even more comfortable. Their big cushy seats, softer suspension with much more travel and much higher profile tires all results in a cloud like ride quality unmatched by todays washboard/horse buggy ride quality caused by super tight suspension, sporty less cushy seats and sporty low profile tires that don't absorb the bumps as well as larger ones. The nicest riding cars I've ever ridden in were a 66 Chrysler Newport and a 71 Cadillac Calais. They both ride like you are on a cloud. The Chrysler came from the factory with a 383 big block and I outran a guy in a modern Daytona Charger with it on the way to work one day. The Cadillac also came with a 365 HP 7.7 liter 472 cubic inch monster of a V8 with 500 foot pounds of torque and really hauls ass for such a big car. It has a 3 speed auto like most old muscle cars and will go 90 MPH in second gear in drive. Haven't seen top speed but it will pull for a long time after pinning the 120 MPH speedo.

Facts

Just get a Tesla it’s faster and more comfortable

Right! And being basically tanks

@BLACKSTRIPE They still are wicked fast considering the modern muscle cars all need computerized superchargers to reach the same level of performance as the old carbureted V8's. I have a 68 Satellite/Roadrunner that looks just like the green one with a black hood in this video, it is the same car under the skin as a 68-70 Charger. I put together a badass 360 small block that is making about the same power as a stock 440 six pack big block. My car only weighed 3400 pounds stock and a 2021 Hemi Charger weighs 4200 pounds. That's an 800 pound difference in the old cars favor. The Hemi in the 2020 Charger R/T package was rated at 375 HP and 395 TQ stock, and the old school 440 Six Pack was rated at 390 HP and 490 TQ stock. So this means the old car not only weighs almost one thousand pounds less than its modern counterpart but it also makes almost 100 more foot pounds of torque and makes notably more horsepower. I've seen this play out in real life too when a guy in a new Hemi Charger R/T tried to outrun me three times in a row at three different stop lights and I beat him badly all three times. To help put this into perspective the 30 year world record for the highest torque rating in a production car was held by the 1970 Buick GSX at 500 foot pounds and wasn't outdone until the series 2 V10 Vipers came out 30 years later. The 440 six Pack was just a few numbers shy of that world record and came in cars like mine that weighed about the same as a 90's Supra or a Fox body Mustang. This is why it almost always takes a supercharger or some other drastic measures to get a modern muscle car to compete with an older one. The old ones just had purely insane torque and crazy weight to HP ratios.

There' s really nothing old school about old school. You have a shell. Put whatever you want in it. I'm almost certain they weren't running vintage Offenhauser intakes on that "Old School" stuff. Lol.

@@BillyDaGoat1017 Which cars are tanks? A modern Dodge Challenger weighs 4100 pounds. The new stuff is all heavier.

@@frankmc5112 The older Cadillacs weighed more than that. The Ford Thunderbirds weighed a shit ton as well. Like around 4700-5300 lbs.

Some people are still knowledgeable about cars I will admit it's not as common but back in the day those old cars were once considered fancy high tech etc, you didn't see guys go buy a model T Ford when they could buy a chevelle a camaro etc people like what's new and up to date they want their heat and ac and other comforts

if you’re gonna race, race. if you want your iphone connections, entertainment system buy a fukkin kia.

Playing with words huh?

@Alec The Car Guy I don't know but these new school muscles sure be fucking them old schoolers up

Old school all the way, got a 63 Chevy Pickup that took a 6.2 diesel in a dodge.

Mustang needs a driver that nova is slow

@@CoyoteFTW Slow or not I’ll take the Nova over the Mustang any day of the week.

@@TheHeavyWing74 smocking crack rock who would take some ugly ass dusty nova over a gt350...lol no one besides a boomer

@@nekrova7123 I am 18. I would take some ugly, dusty Nova over a gt350, and I wouldn’t have to think twice about it.

@@TheHeavyWing74 must be one dumb 18 year old lol..gt350 could buy like 30 novas 🤣🤣🤣

I mean he made it to where the car was drag tuned.

If you guys are talking about the GT500, it’s on street tires and struggles with grip off the line, if it was on slicks then it’s a different story

I agree 👍 💯

The 18 shift and the 3k hp Detroit muscle that runs on “Family” not gas.

@@KentaElZeroM his charger has nos they dont and if dom doesnt ssc tuatara will destroy every car in fast and furiouse franchise not counting acceleration

Your car is fast. But FAMILY IS FASTER

@@zeze_YT5506 why are you comparing multi million dollar hyper cars to built 60s drag cars

👍 Thanks a lot

Any muscle is good enough

Was just thinking that at the end of the video. Not sure of the amount of them, but alot for sure.

From this sentence it looks like you said the old schoolers have experience and the new schoolers dont

except for the Chevelle at the end passing the scat pack

Mopar or no car 💪🏼😌💯

@@triggered_trap3763 takes a mopar to catch a mopar

Except that yellow duster that ran 17 seconds ? Lol I’ve seen stock Honda’s run quicker than that

Remember, the race is against the clock

Bracket racing.

Not necessarily cause your car regulates the amount of fuel per air that is going inside the engine but i wouldn't recommend doing it constantly

Yup

1969 camaro and 1965 mustang is the One

Nah that 5.0 kinda sexy

1969 Chevelle SS 396, my dream car. 60s Muscle still looks great today. Turn heads when I see something on the street like a chevelle, C3 vette, 68 Charger, A Classic Impala etc etc.

@@CentralTexasRailJetProductions classic cars r so hot man like those are OGs, owning one

Yes

And slow

@@rogeliorodriguez2319 it’s really not. It would’ve been way quicker if it was in slicks like the old school muscle cars in this video

@@rogeliorodriguez2319 The driver took off real late

Nova

Which one,,,, HA HA HA

11.80....the driver can't drive as with a good driver they can do 10.60 stock @ 135-136

What mustang runs 10s stock? 🤣

@@chadkent1241 What mustang does 10 stock? GTFO

Hmm, a stock Mustang on street tires, against a built drag car on slicks, with a wheelie bar and a parachute..... Gee, I wonder who will win...🙄

ford better all the way around

Not in Denver it doesn’t. Density Altitude is 9000’ or better all summer long. Correct it to sea level and that 11.8 is roughly a second quicker at 10.9x. That guy races a lot in bracket classes so it’s not his first time down the track

@Alec The Car Guy for a stock (as far as I know) gt500, that’s solid numbers on the mountain in the middle of summer

@@taylorgtrotter - maybe not the best conditions but it still should be running better than an 11.8

@@CoyoteFTW again, not in Denver, and not when the DA is well over 9000’. That’s right on par with what a stock gt500 should run up here. Seen him run many times, and that’s consistent with what I’ve seen

@@taylorgtrotter - the rest of the field must be running some very pricey set ups then cause that car isn’t slap

I mean is it a bad thing or is maybe he just a lucky RU-vid channel that hasn’t yet had to succumb to the enforcement of youtubes money regulations

You mean those ads youtube shoves down everyone's throats on every video no matter the runtime in wich the creator gets absolutely no money and gets blamed on by their viewers for?
