Excellent matchup. If the Savoy had some bigger meats on the back it would of been a closer race but damn that Hemi Cuda was greased lightning!

[@dartgts383]

The tires wouldn't have helped , the Hemi is making a lot more HP than the max wedge. I have a set of hemi heads that flow 375cfm with not a lot of work done to them from as they were delivered on my circa 2005 MP crte hemi 426. I don't think it's posible to get close to that on a max effort set of stock part number iron max wedge heads.

[@bw3506]

Hard for me to believe how hard that Cuda left on that size tire and then still held traction with the power it was putting down at the bottom end of the track. Calculated from ET and speed it's putting out over 800 hp. That thing is insanely fast. The Savoy was fast too but well you go tweaking on a Hemi it's gonna be hard to beat even if it's heavier. Thanks for the vid it was fun to watch. I prefer the other class though. Seems it would be a little more fair.

[@danmyers9372]

The F.A.S.T. series was created by Dave Dudek, the owner and driver of the ‘Cuda. It was created for racers who wanted to see just how fast they could make factory appearing classic muscle cars go on stock tires. Yes, they run on factory stock bias ply tires.

@@danmyers9372 I recall seeing a video about the tires being fairly prepped, in spite of their 'stock' look. I forgot the name of the channel, but it's based around a guy racing a '69 ZL1 Camaro in this class, and his dad races a '69 L88 Corvette in the same class. I recall one episode where he explained how the tires are prepped. Very interesting class of racing compared to all the highly prepped, obviously modified classes of racing (e.g. big fat wheels and tires out back with skinny racing wheels and tires up front).

On paper I was certain that max wedge was going to win. Both those motors had way underrated horsepower numbers by Chrysler and the wedge car had the weight advantage.

Hemi Heads can't beat em!

[@josephstabile9154]

Methinks there's more to that Hemi than th specs would indicate. Could probably say similar for the Wedge.

Stroker smoker motor lol

[@slicepizza3263]

Wow. That was awesome

[@thomasconnolly7452]

That was quick!

[@kregskorner8851]

My first car was a 63 Savoy, did not start with a big v8, she was rocking a one barrel slant six with a 3 on the tree...

[@DavidJones-rk5do]

Dang!!!

[@MrBluzhound]

Oh puhleease. These times and speeds are insulting to anyone who grabbed second gear on Saturday night circa 1970.

[@davidthompson62]

Anyone really think that Hemi was pressing out only 375 horsepower? More like 500+ hp.

[@isaacsrandomvideos667]

That Plymouth looks a lot like a rover P6 But a lot better. Also *_MAX WEDGE_*

[@chuckkells5509]

Friggin' thing was a NASCAR engine. At least you could dial the gas pumps to 100 octane

[@bladerunner6087]

WOWWWW 426 HEMI

[@dangarrison3503]

Both those cars, stock off the showroom floor the 63 Savoy is a second faster. 12.69 to the hemi cuda 13.69

[@shempuhorn8261]

Boy, that was cool. I think that race would have turned out differently with factory stock cars...
