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.)

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

@@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.

"as long as I can go fast, that's all I care about" - amen brother

[@jayfindlay7793]

Ngl it’s really cool that you guys got a continental sponsor

[@eggleg1411]

3:41 Weird uncle? Nah it's just my weird dad's car.

[@MiahSexton]

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

[@mmmbetter55]

"So powerful that power loses meaning" is exactly how I feel... like I genuinely wouldn't want a care with more than, say, 400hp. My dad is about to buy an M340i and I'm stoked to drive it. Still working on getting my mk6 GTI up to about 300hp, and that will be perfect for me

[@spookyorion]

I would love to see a HiLow muscle car series!

[@ojb48o]

Fun video, thanks Nolan!

[@MrLayton1990]

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

[@HallanKB]

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

[@SvenQ45]

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.

[@swalling22]

Love these videos 🔥🔥 Keep it up Donut ✊

[@IDONTHAVEPERMISSION]

Amazing you’re now getting sponsored by the likes of Continental. Keep it going Donut.

[@otakubancho6655]

Love the list,but you guys missed the first hot rod wagon,the Cadillac CTS wagon,it was the ultimate sleeper!😈😈😈

[@philtipler9086]

I ❤ Continental Contact tires. ❤ get that. Great video for the kids to watch as well.

[@LF-Productions]

8:02 is the most American thing I’ve ever heard. Hell yeah brother 🦅

[@spenceroneil4747]

Not having the Countach be mentioned alongside the F40 and 959 is insane

[@baylordavis3999]

The Grand Turismo movie you guys should do a “what is the differences” video !!! 😮😊

[@lfla0179]

That ethanol magic, every Brazilian found out. Chevy Opala, when converted to alcohol, got a nice little bump to power...

[@One_Shot_Garage]

The 1970 Buick 455 Stage 1, with 510lbft of torque, made the most torque from a production engine until the Viper was released. There was an available stage 2 package that could be ordered from dealers as well that made over 500hp.

[@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

[@bobbycone2]

I have personally owned multiple Camaro's (3), Firebird T/A, GTO and Challenger SRT 392. American Muscle/Sports cars are just the best!

[@LearningFast]

The SSC Tuatara shouldn’t have been included on this list. It isn’t a production car. There is no concrete spec for it. They turn up boost and modify it depending on what fuel is available. They are essentially modifying the car every time they test it. How many of those cars did they even produce? 1? 5? 10? That isn’t a production car at all. It is a kit car that they assemble for you and are trying to claim is a “production” car.

[@MysticFrostic]

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