They have won practically everything once, some drag boats, tractor/truck pulls, all forms of drag racing it’s allowed in, nascar,USAC, the first gen hemi was even kicked out of the Indy 500.

[@trashin4k]

The ones used today are so far removed and incorporate technology from ford and Chevy engines. The Block is modified to use a Chevy Cam and crank to take advantage of LS firing order. The heads are also altered from the 426 in various parts of the valvetrain. (Also, the 426 is so famous because it’s competition: the Ford 427 cammer, was banned for being too fast.)

Fantastic video diving into the intricacies of legendary engines! Makes you realize how much engineering marvel is packed under the hood. But can we take a moment to appreciate how engine technology has come full circle? We've gone from the 426 Hemi being iconic to the Valkyrie revving up to 11,000 RPMs, and now Konigsegg's 2-liter inline 3 TFG with 600 bhp! Also, who else agrees we should get an episode comparing the "advertised" horsepower of classic muscle cars to what they actually put out on a dyno with today's standards? That would be a fascinating deep-dive!

[@glennzanotti3346]

Now you need to do a video comparing 1960s horsepower numbers to modern SAE horsepower numbers. Also, Horsepower per CC would be a good video.

[@joshjlmgproductions3313]

Yeah, it seems like nobody realizes that muscle car horsepower numbers were essentially faked. Removing the water pump and changing the manifolds to max out the power is a huge lie to the consumer.

To put that 2,200hp engine at the end into better context, I worked on a very big tow boat, it had two 4,500 HP diesels. So that car alone has a quarter of the power needed to push over 40 loaded barges down the mississippi river. Each barge being 200ft long by 35ft wide, that's over a quarter mile of steal out in front of you. And that car makes 1 full 1/4 of the HP needed to do something like that. Insane.

[@DuxAT]

You do have to account the fact that Horsepower is a product of speed AND torque. Even though it has 1/4 of the HP, it has much, much less torque as the engine is faster and the car is geared for speed, not torque

[@BurtSampson]

@@DuxAT that's why at the end I made a point to say HP. The engines on the river were TQ monsters I'm sure, but nobody knows how much they put out because they only go off HP numbers for some reason.

Go away scambot

[@bwofficial1776]

I had a Ford Taurus with half of an Aston Martin V12. It was actually a decent engine and sounded all right but the transmission was utter crap and held it back. Slowest 200hp car I've ever driven because of that transmission. Unfortunately, Ford never mated that engine with a manual and a manual pedal box for that generation Taurus effectively doesn't exist any more. V12 Mercedes-Benzes and BMWs aren't hard to find, though finding them in good shape and keeping them running is a little trickier. Some custom exhaust work and they can sound supercar-ish.

Nolan in a Pontiac GTO is surprisingly fitting.. This felt like an old school Wheelhouse episode. Loved it..

[@KyngMark]

Nolan: The SSC Tuatara is the most powerful czr in the world!! Devel Sixteen: Am I a joke to u?

[@AlteredOaks]

Yeah, I think the Devel Sixteen is a joke to most people. Just a bunch of dreams until it actually backs something up. Where's the top speed run? With 5000 hp, should be no problem

A few questions about what you wrote: what is a COUTRY? What is a sentince? What is a sistem?

@@bwofficial1776 well obviously i meant country and sentence and a sistem is a system in my country do i really say sorry if i type too fast most people would read normal and filled the words with missing letters

The most powerful engine is Nolan's brain after he has some caffeine.

Would love to see a video about the German power wars of the 80's into the early 2000's, when cars like the Merc 2.8 Evo 2 started a trend that culminated in Audi putting the twin turbo V10 from an R8 into an estate car (station wagon as you guys say in the US). You barely see them any more, but as a teenager I dreamed of owning one of those or a C63. Incredible sounds

Love that you guys are staying aware of the LTT situation with all the additional data stars, lol. Love it! Keep it up!

Huh?

[@jctsea]

@@BradleyGibbsLinus Tech Tips had some issues with Data and reviews recently; the clarity Donut adds to the video looks like they know the content universe they are in (and it also minimizes "akshully" comments).

No one noticed how the beginning looked like an episode of Diners, Drive Ins and Dives? Lol Donut Media you guys are the best

[@Fpvpilot928]

Correction on the Bugatti motor. It is two VR8s sharing a common crank. You said two V8s sharing a common crank. That would be crazy, an 8 cam 16 cylinder, lol. All seriousness, you guys rock!

Didn't like this list at all. Yall remained fixated on such a small period and the origin of engines. Where the hell are the koeniggzeggs, the zenvos, the czingers and so many more. There was no classification by decade or induction, price.

[@spookyorion]

I would love to see a HiLow muscle car series!

Maybe the whole world needs a Gentlemens Agreement. Ever since EVs are big again they throw around numbers... It´s crazy. And you made even an episode about it already.

Donut you inspires me very much, I love cars too.

[@amazin7006]

Whats crazy is they were getting 10-15mpg out of those 540 horsepower engines. Mercedes benz years later in the 90s was getting that gas mileage out of a 390 horsepower V12, and you had to pay over $200k (so over 400k in modern dollars) for an AMG version 7.2 liters just to get 500-550hp

[@HallanKB]

That Bugatti Bolide is just crazy, can’t wait to see it on the track and dragstrip

[@MysticFrostic]

Surprised that the devel sixteen wasnt mentioned, that engine is a MONSTER

[@benson8686]

I think the modern diesel engine theyee putting in pick-ups these days deserved a mention. IIRC the F-350 powerstroke can produce 1200 lbd-ft of torque. Insane.

[@Simon-rb6yy]

or the V12 TDI that Audi put in the Q7.
