Hellcat Challenger and Ray Barton 528 Hemi Cuda

This was filmed leaving a car show one day - too bad there was traffic, although I'm sure the Hellcat would have beaten me - we WILL race one day once I get some traction issues sorted out - enjoy

Nothing can ever beat the sound of old muscle cars

[@CJColvin]

S197 Jet you are correct mate.

[@RyuusanFT86]

You spelled Rotary wrong.

[@brianstevensii938]

S197 Jet they just had a sound that I can only explain as the combination of thunder with the roar of a Lion...fucking unbelievable.

[@zohaib876]

100% factual truth. I have a 2016 Challenger Scat Pack Shaker. It's gotta healthy dose of hemi power from the naturally aspirated 6.4L...love the exhaust even at stock. I have plan's of doing some work once warranty is up header's, cam, supercharger...but no matter what still these classic muscle car's man they have an un-matchable exhaust note & mighty rumble

[@paustin3554]

That Cuda definitely showed that hellcat who deserves the throne

[@2003frontier4x4]

My dad had the same car but with the 340 and he fuel injected it. Original brown and original interior redone. Daily driven, driven to the track, car shows. It got so many looks. He ended up getting very sick while doing a pro street build and he passed away. We had to sell the car in pieces but luckily a fellow car club guy bought it all and built it. Miss that car and my dad.

[@gzuzsavz]

My sincere condolences on you loss

[@derektrujillo2292]

It's got to suck when you're sitting in a Hellcat and you can't even hear it running all you hear is that beast of a hemi next to it

[@Uptown59]

[@pwilliams3410]

Hellcat = stock mufflers Hemi cuda = long tube headers it sounds like & straight pipe Do your research son before you say what sucks cause your mom isn't in the conversation so no one is doing any sucking at the moment

[@zetagotstories]

What’s even more funny is how dick hurt you got when he dissed a hellcat, you must be real far from owning one.

[@spaniardmartinez1597]

Old muscle ,sounds better,looks better.Just plain better.with added power is also faster!!!

[@lovethesmellofracefuelinth7374]

That's not old muscle, well the chassis is but the power plant is a modern day 528 CI crate engine. So in all reality it has a modern powertrain, so it has to be looked at a little differently. But I am sure that it is carbureted and because of the cars age, it wouldn't need catalectic converters so it sounds better. Just sayin

[@CJColvin]

Spaniard Martinez Amen brother.

[@billtaylor4224]

Its the non computer controlled engine that makes it sound better. I notice that even the hellcat engine revs up and then revs down slowly because of pollution control. Its that long return to idle that takes away some of that classic mucle car sound.

[@radarvectors2]

And it’s FAR from a crate engine (as our president would say:) BELIEVE ME 👌

[@jamieostrowski4447]

We need the EPA to pull back the ridiculous cafe standards Barry put into effect.

I recognize that location. Once upon a time around 1976ish at the tiny intersection of Davis on Hwy 26, we took on a Mach 1 with our 69 Super Bee. Love them Dodges.

NOT “retro-look” .... that’s what the new ones are ... it is THE ACTUALCLASSIC ... the actual legend .... it set the bar ..... respect your daddy.

[@clipperbob960]

@@1badhaircut I will correct my statement. I have driven both generations of the Challenger and for me I prefer the modern tech over the legendary styling. Keep in mind that what made those cars legendary was the HP which modern OEM cars have exceeded. There really is no comparison between the generations. IMO

[@1badhaircut]

@@clipperbob960 I understand why you can’t understand ..... you unfortunately didn’t experience the muscle care ERA when we and these cars were daily warriors at every traffic light ... day and night. You have their namesakes but not the legends themselves that they were named after. Or know the WHY. I probably raced more times in 1 weekend than you have ever. There were more muscle cars on the street than SUVs today. We didn’t think about ... steering ... stopping ... comfortable A/C ... we just raced our asses-off 😃 - I know you think because today’s cars are more advanced things are better .... no, we LIVED AN ORGY OF STREET AND STRIP BATTLES ..... like you can’t possibly imagine. Sorry you missed the party - it was amazing - but you do have your MPG. At 30 cents a gallon we didn’t care.

[@kidsteach938]

@@lewisshepard9239 a cam actuates the valves, and is not considered a power adder. A "power adder" is forced air induction, such as a turbocharger or supercharger, or NO2, which adds power by virtue of the O2 incorporated into the NO2 molecule which is "added" to the intake pathway of the engine. lol.

[@lewisshepard9239]

@@kidsteach938 I hope you’re just being sarcastic, but if not you’re dead wrong. A dual point distributor,headers,bigger carburetor and I could go on and on. There not as big of a power adder as the ones you mention,but all the same they are power adders.

The correct CAM matter's a lot, depending on what your doing with the vehicle .

[@geneticrex]

Absolutely....and especially with HEMI head architecture and their opposed valve layout. Valve events are critical to get the most out of HEMI style engines.

[@lovethesmellofracefuelinth7374]

Oh man I love that exhaust note, I sure wish that our late model hot rods sounded that good. I've got a set of fat 3" SLP Loudmouth Cat-back pipes on my Challenger SRT8, and it sounds great but not anywhere close to the classic Mopars that I've owned.

[@Sandhill1988]

Hellcats are really nice but Hemi Cuda is something truly special. Anyone can go into a dealership and buy a Hellcat it takes a real car person to nurture and preserve a real muscle car it's more a labor of love. I know someone else already commented this but I'm going to reiterate it, a modern vehicle with all the computer technology you are very much disconnect from the actual feel of the car, an old car or muscle car you actually have to become one with the machine you can actually feel the machine with a new car lots and lots of that are filtered out and computer over ridden.
