Before you watch... who do you think is going to win this match up?

Who always wins?

440 challenger for the win

Tough call - heart is with the Vette, but head is saying Challenger

[@kimmorrison9169]

Those two matched up extremely well!

[@CarsAndZebras]

definitely 👍

[@danielfritz8569]

Thank you so much for not playing some stupid music while the cars are ripping down the track. Nothing sounds better than a screaming v-8. Great video as always.

[@CarsAndZebras]

No problem 👍

[@obsessedwithguitars3157]

Recently did an Xtreme Experience track drive where I got to drive a 2021 Shelby GT500. While standing in line, listening to the glorious Lamborghinis, Ferrari, Porsches, etc., apparently someone in the line complained that there was no music. So the race hosts pulled out speakers and pointed them at the line of us waiting to drive, drowning out the cars with Eurobeat music. I have never felt so much hate.

[@DanKoning777]

Too bad he always replaces not playing "stupid music" with *stupid* 7th grade godless comments, accounting for why he still only has 41k subs.

[@danielfritz8569]

@@DanKoning777 I enjoy the cheesey comments. Plus you can always just turn down the volume until the races start.

[@DanKoning777]

@@danielfritz8569 // I just mute it. I wish people knew how far our nation as fallen since 1960, and how it relates to what they complain about daily e.g. corruption, crime rates, irrational leadership decisions at all levels, rampant greed, pride, sensuality on/on. Most today are unaware that just 50+ yrs ago many tv shows [Leave It To Beaver], didn't show a toilet or married people w/o separate beds [Dick VanDyke etc]. So, what do todays tv shows, movies, media reflect about "todays American conscience" and what's seen on the news daily? America; a nation w/o Gods blessing.

By far, C&Z is my favorite channel!! The muscle cars are amazing but the commentary is off the charts funny. BEST CHANNEL EVER!!

Yes I agree and was bummed when there wasn't commentary for about 6 months, so I was really glad when they started adding it again recently and always makes us laugh 🤣

[@mrkemblegilstrap]

Ok, I watched this a couple more times and I noticed that the announcer put a 396 in the vette?

[@gary9426]

HaHa... yep!

65 was the 1st year for a big block in Corvette and a 396 was used only for that year.

Nice pairing. The vette was a little heavier than expected,but that all iron big block is heavy. I bought a 67 corvette 427/390 4-speed in 75. It had a blown engine. When I tore it down it had two snapped rods and the cam was in 4 pieces. The only thing reusable was the head castings.

Goodday C & Z, Mate you are just getting better with age. I was hoping for a rendition of Prince song " Little Red Corvette " somewhere in your video. That was close quarter racing at its best. As I only have Mopar blood running through my veins, it is the old saying. " Mopar or No Car ". Great video, fantastic commentary.

Mmmmmmm, side pipes! Those cars are pretty evenly matched, makes for some good racing.

[@SealofPerfection]

Heck of a tight race. Damn nice match up. I did see the Vette let off near the end on that last run, maybe didn't want to embarrass his buddy? You could run that race 10 times and both of them win 5, just depending on the launch and the shifts.

You nearly had me this time. I have succeeded at NNN so far, and I'm still succeeding, but it was close. That Corvette side pipe, just, mmmmmmmm.

Uff el challenger 1970 es uno de mis favoritos

[@archiebunker6059]

I think Vettes should not be in muscle cars drag, why? , cause Chevrolet never marketed the Vette as a muscle car, they were marketed as sports cars, Challenger was marketed as a pony car, should have been paired up with a mustang or Camaro, still love the camera shot down by the finish, hearing the cars roar by.👍👍👍💪💪

[@bman99ss]

Muscle cars vs. Sports cars vs. Pony Cars. Who gives a flip?

[@timsharpe3498]

Muscle car used to actually mean a midsized car with a big inch engine. Now it just means anything with a powerful engine. I suppose my motorhome qualifies as a muscle car these days.

[@mrnobody8540]

I dunno man, my 70 340 powered Cuda is kinda slow compared to the very mild Pontiacs I also own... but compared to chevys, stock for stock the mopars usually won. :)

Takes a Chevy to catch a Chevy! lol

[@davidbattaglia2336]

Well, it wouldn’t be a true C&Z video without Hal1000. It’s too bad about the Dodge’s issue(spinning em?) at the launch of race 3. This race was more about the drivers as these cars were really evenly match with their gearing.

[@bw3506]

So the Challenger limped off the line on the last round but still ran almost 111 mph. So was he shifting differently? Why faster?

[@badass6.0powerstroke10]

It's a Big Block Mopar, something probably Broke.

[@bw3506]

@@badass6.0powerstroke10 Yea that's probably it since that makes so much sense. Breaking always makes you go faster.

[@badass6.0powerstroke10]

@@bw3506 I was joking. Thought he spun the tires on Last Race. That would explain higher Top Speed.

[@adamtrombino106]

The reason the production #s were so low on 440 E bodies was because the marketing and ad fools at Mopar at the time neglected to even mention that the 440 4bbl was an option in R/T's in 70. Instead, they were pushing the 340 4V, and 440 6bbl cars. The fact that the feature car had the factory 440 4bbl with 4 speed and Super Trak Pak with tach and center console screams dealer special order. As for the Vette, I love factory side pipe cars! I believe that particular 427 was the last in line to get a hyd cam. And no, neither car was light but when u look at how portly the new challenger, Vette, and Mustang are, yeah, these 2 cars have visited Jenny Craig lol.

[@geraldlafleur7776]

Two very evenly matched cars. it seems to hace come down to the drivers. intresting that the Dodge hsd the faster trap speed every time. put "Mr. 4 speed" behind the wheel and it would be Mopar all the way.
