A car so good that NASCAR had to outlaw it to beat it.

Actually the Hemi was Half the reason it was banned. The Hemi is the ONLY engine Banned in Every style of racing at one point or another...which is why it a legend. 1952 the A311 331 ci Hemi was blowing away the fastest Indycars away (track records) that they complained and had the displacement regulations lowered for the hemi and other pushrod engines. Ford did the same for the Hemi in Nascar and superspeedways in 1971. The Father of the Funny car,....the Mopar altered wheeled cars were Banned from running in NHRA in 1965 and moved to IHRA racing. Funny thing is that Cummins....associated with MOPAR since 1989, also was a first at INDY with being the first HiPo diesel powered race car....back in they 1950s. They never had to stop for fuel, only tires. 40 yrs later Audi Diesels got into racing...and it was a big deal, LMFAO.
@davidthayer69695 жыл бұрын
nonsense, the superbird was NEVER outlawed and the HEMI was not either......geeze the Hemi won a ton of races between 1966 and about 1974........NASCAR limited all 5 aerocars, the superbird, daytona, torino talladega and mercury cyclone and the charger 500 to a 305 inch engine after 1970.......NO individual car was outlawed.

@silverbird58 - I was told that the advantage Elliot had was the soft cylinder head material developed by Ernie , Bill's brother, which allowed a higher compression ratio. Everyone thought Bill must be cheating after winning so many races, but it was all legal!

He reached out and took the baby in his arms so the lady could take the picture. Now they have a picture of him holding her baby. That was Back in 1991.

@kingduckford the reason for OHC is because of displacement regulations in many countries, forcing them to make more power with less displacement. Cam in block engines are still everywhere in America. The beauty of a cam in block design is that it's very compact. My LS7 (7.0l) is smaller and lighter than a BMW S65 (4.0l). It also makes a lot more horsepower.

When I was a kid Richard and this car were my heroes. I had only ever heard it running through the cheap tinny speakers of my dad's TV back in the day. Just got done listening to this on 5.1 headsets. OMG....That engine.....sounds.....like ....WAR! 45+ years old, designed and built without a single computer and kept in tune all this time without a single laptop. I'd love to see it take a few laps on modern tires at Talledega or Daytona during practice time at an event, I wonder how it's lap times would compare to what they're running now. Also, what an awesome neighborhood he must live in. If I tried anything even remotely similar to this I would be swarmed by cops in under 3 mins lol.

For the record, I'm using my wife's account. I had the privilege of growing up in Charlotte, NC during the 60's and 70's and with my NASCAR fan dad. My dad took us on 4 "camping trips" a year to the infields of Charlotte Motor Speedway and North Carolina Motor Speedway in Rockingham to watch the races from a platform built on the top of an old IH Metro van. I got to see 6 races with the winged cars (2 in October 1969 with the Charger Daytonas and 4 in 1970 with the Superbirds and Daytonas). They were definitely sights and sounds I will never forget. I watch NASCAR today and long for the days when the cars were actually stock and the drivers had personalities.

In any other state, a SWAT team would be called called out. In that town, it's just the King going for a spin around the block. I saw this car race at Daytona when I was 8yrs old, it looked like a spaceship. In those days Petty would lap the entire field, they were so much faster than everyone else. Even without the Superbird. Petty had so much more money and much better cars than most of the other teams. Bill France couldn't ban this car fast enough.

@Lofi.z347 жыл бұрын
Guys say how much NASCAR is banning innovative ideas, but I also see this in your normal car dealerships. You see cars like the Supra, S2000, Skyline, Challenger, Cuda and how those were innovative in performance ... these days everything is so mudded down because of emissions laws, hybrids, electrics ... bleh

A new Challenger with a 392 inch Hemi is faster than any muscle car made in the 60's, 70's, or the 80's. Without the Hellcat, that's in another realm altogether. We are driving the fastest muscle cars in history, and the performance is still increasing. I give the big 3 a lot of credit.

What a great video man. You had too much fun ! And thank you for asking the King the right questions. You are so lucky to have had Larry take you on that ride. I’m going to save this video and watch it a lot. I draw cars as a hobby, and have already started on the super bird. Thanks, tim p.s. that was the best sounding engine I think I’ve ever heard!

NOW THAT IS A RACE CAR. BEING A North Carolina born and Bred, Rancher Gotta say I might just get a little giddy to be able to Ride in one of Richard Petty's Race Cars. IF I COUND DRIVE One of Richard Pettys Race Cars it Would BE the Plymouth Road Runner. I love that 1970 Daytona. I wouldn't mind driving Kyle Petty's MELLOW YELLOW Pontiac. Oh I know here in North Carolina, We Love Ranching and Racing. Rodeos and country living. 👍🏼

Possibly the only man who ever lived that could make a cheesy 'stache, cowboy hat, and shades, actually look damned cool. Lol. Seem to recall something decades ago about the shades hiding burn scars? The keen wrench eye noting such things as the holes where door trim was removed .. the golden age of NASCAR when there was still a whole lot of stock in stock car. Can't even be bothered to watch any more. :( (When) I play the lottery occasionally .. always a 43 in there.

Now that's when NASCAR was about building fast cars with no computers and few sponsors! (Money) Mechanical ingenuity at its finest; and remember, this car is geared to go 200mph with a four speed so low end acceleration wasn't its strong point.

Chuck Gura makes sense. I was wondering how he had it cruising at like 30 mph without it jerking.
@Lofi.z347 жыл бұрын
It seemed to be jerking a little bit when he was following the red firetruck looking vehicle with the camera crew, perhaps the car wanted to rocket off!
