Surely one of the coolest cars I've uploaded to the channel, if not the coolest. This Challenger, driven by Beat Gubler, kept surprising me in both speed and soundtrack during the 5 days I got to watch it race. At both events, Jack's Racing Day and the Tabac Classic GP Assen, the car competed at the top of the Colmore YTCC series.
The insane amount of power this naturally aspirated, massive big block 572ci 9.4L makes, more than compensates for the weight of a '70s American muscle car. The event commentator claimed it was running up to 1000 horsepower and after some digging into built N/A 572 Mopar engines I concluded that that claim is definitely possible.
Edit: Thanks to a comment by Beat himself I now have a bit more info on the specs. The 572ci/ 9.4L aliminium block with Indy Cylinder Heads produces 720HP and is linked to a 4-speed Jasper NASCAR transmission. It weighs 1450kg.
Enjoy this compilation of clips I filmed and edited with a massive smile on my face!
