V8-Soundcheck at LeMans Classic

[@mb123tdt]

Imagine being in that yellow Porsche and suddenly hear that thunderstorm flying by. Epic sound!

[@Thebumpinthenight]

The charger freight training that porshe at 5:45 made my day

[@jom3259]

Crazy how you can recognize the brand by the sound. The Ford sounds like a shy Cobra, the monza reminds an angry Corvette C2 and the Dodge rumbles like a Mopar classic.

[@andybailey6763]

God bless America!

[@Uptown59]

One of the best auto racing videos I've seen yet. In a Dodge Charger too! I sure would like to see this class running in today's Sebring, etc. Go Mopar 😁💪🏽

[@YuriBruschi]

Ciao, It'realy! 👍

[@CoyoteFTW]

More like mean cobra

[@philstadnicki7882]

That charger is the meanest looking and sounding and probably to drive, race-car ever at le mans. Must have balls of tungsten to drive this in the rain. Absolutely awesome

[@HighlanderNorth1]

✔️ Finally...... Someone with a good enough grasp of the periodic table to choose a more suitable metal _other_ than "brass" to describe someone with lotsa balls. Tungsten was an ideal choice.

[@Michaelation08]

That's a pretty dense set of balls, I'll say I'll say​@HighlanderNorth1

[@WarmSpringsWarriors]

The track is very difficult to race as well.

[@artsontop]

Charger driver really showed some cajones, especially in the light rain...Looks to me like he Rain-Xed his windshield..

[@jasonrhodes9683]

the windshield is coated with a hydrophobic compound, not wax. That Charger and Torino make the purpose build race cars look like go-carts.

[@artsontop]

@@jasonrhodes9683 Dude, the original Rain-X Was and Is a hydrophobic compound for glass, 'been using it on my road race and street cars since the early 80's... They now have waxes, etc. in their product line buy they are known foremost for windshied coatings. I actually love their waterless wash detail spray which also works great for windshield water beading...

[@mantovanoGT]

The on-board camera position in that Charger was perfect! Awesome video!

[@kanukster]

Charger passing the Porsche @ 5:50 was worth the price of admission!

[@Universal.G]

I really like how older race cars are modified factory variants with original parts. Not like new cars which are all made out of a fiberglass shell missing lights, bumpers etc... NASCAR is a perfect example.

[@RenoLaringo]

Not only do they sound great, those 70’s era muscle cars are hands down the most beautiful cars ever produced in automotive history. Cars and people go together. I assume we get the cars we deserve.

[@Thedudeabides803]

In and out of the rain, that v8 rippin, scenery unbelievable. Great GD video.

[@Ne0n570]

The sounds of these things trying to send there pistons into low orbit down mulsanne straight is a high im going to be chasing for years 😂

[@doylestownstew]

At 54 years old, this is the sound of my youth. Let's see here. Jeff Gordon is leaving NASCAR full time next year. His wife is Belgian. "Hey Mr. Gordon, you want a chance to take one of these old school cars around Le Mans for a few laps?"

[@hipovee8811]

Shit, that's probably on his bucket list. It should be anyway.

[@tyleracimovic823]

Pretty sure he's going to race at Le Mans next year, with the Garage 56 project that's going on at Hendrick Motorsports.

[@mcrichton46]

Damn I can feel the torque from the onboard inside the Charger

[@DoctorWonka]

Now, THAT’S a cool sounding race! I’m not into the car races today. But, I’d go there! 😃

[@Mandolin1944]

To see an Dodge Charger NASCAR blow by a Porsche 935 in the rain of the Mulsanne was awesome (5:50)

[@AustriaUndeadSlaya]

That's not a Charger, that's a fucking Monster :D

[@Dashriprock4]

That wasn't a race lap. It was a sighting in lap. The 935 will eat any NASCAR stocker for lunch

[@TheBrainSpecialist]

Jeff, through the corners maybe, but not in a straight line, remember, that Charger is geared for 180 mph+, I'd be surprised if the Porsche could hit 140

[@hipovee8811]

If it's reeling in that 935 that fast out of a corner? No.

[@Dashriprock4]

THE BRAIN SPECIALIST The 935 was hitting well over 200 at LeMans back in the late 70s early 80s. The long tail "Moby Dick" version was hitting 228. I saw these cars race. No offense but you have no idea what you are talking about

[@Wolfpak23]

That charger is so badass it does not even turn the wipers on in the rain. It is just trying to run through it fast enough like a bull on steroids :D

[@Flyboy207]

I just can’t get over that Charger. That sound is incredible.

[@glenparks5175]

That big heavy Charger was putting all over there ass in the rain lol

[@jerodwolford2743]

Heavy? Those cars maybe weigh 3500lbs factory. Now that specific charger, I wouldn't be surprised if it dipped below 3000

[@craigpennington1251]

@@jerodwolford2743 I had a 1968 Super Bee that weighed in at 2,300 lbs. Built in Canada & mostly aluminum & with a Nascar prepped 413 was a beast like this Charger is. That car scared the shit out of people. It had a gear drive that whistled. Drove it on the street for years back when the good gas was priced right. A lot we can do in this State that others can't. It's great.

[@ChorltonM21]

6:15 that RainX is fantastic stuff. A real aid to safer driving. Lets you go faster in the rain ;0)

I was always a fan of high reving 4cylinder engines below 2 l, having driven a NSU TTS with 1300 cc, a Golf GTI 1 with 1600 cc and a 2-seater R5 turbo1 with 1400 cc. But after owning a V8 powered Triumph Stag I am totally hooked on the Sound and relaxed torque of V8's. So please send more. Regards Harry

[@MrGwager]

I remember when a friend of mine built a 400 Big Block Dodge motor for that car and shipped it to the owner from Belleville Ontario. Pretty impressive!!

I understand that when the Charger was starting-up in the pits, a female reporter walked too close to it... And when those pipes barked, she fell-over like a Hyacinth!😁

Damn, that old Dodge sounds nice. Mmmmm Hmmm....Turns out I was born in the "right decade" after all...It sure seems like we got outside more and did more stuff (went places, like to dirt track races, roller skated, etc...) than current generation(s)...I wonder sometimes what the "good ole' days" will be like for today's youth...fond memories of playing X-box? Those funny snap-chat-able moments from the mall (at least getting out of the house...)?

[@a.k.a.A.E.1]

The best moment 5:55 min the porsche is at topspeed. The charger shift in 4 gear and fly over ! What is a powerfull car ?

[@cellphonelightsaber]

These cars can have only four gears because of torque from the huge 7.0L engines. A lazy, unrefined OHV V8 will never make much power relative to its size because it cannot breathe at high RPM. I have an old small block Ford and it stops making any more PS at 3750 RPM! It will spin to 5K, but it cannot do anything. The valves and pushrods bounce around and damages itself. But, because of the displacement, they will always have the torque to overcome long gears and heavy weights. This is why lazy eights do well in pickup trucks, even today. The relatively simple design can be assembled with inexpensive parts and run with considerable variations in tolerances, and yet, they'll happily run at low outputs for decades with maintenance. The scary part is when they *are* refined. Crazy OHV eights have heads made to breathe very well, and the valves, cams and pushrods to behave even at 7~8K RPM. Assembled with exacting tolerances, and race-proven parts, the same V8 design transforms into greatness. That way, these engines can reliably leverage the large displacement to make a lot of PS, while keeping its natural ability to make a lot of torque. www.hotrod.com/articles/ccrp-0810-302ci-small-block-ford/

[@Keckegenkai]

[@rosewhite---]

Charger was such a classic design they should remake it. Same for Etype Jaguars, 63 Corvettes...etc.

[@kiliangyger4759]

feel the torque 😋 ! why are they not using a 5 or 6 speed gearbox (the charger in this case) ? is it not allowed by the reglement ?

[@coast2coast00]

Completely guessing, but 4 speeds at the time would have been stronger, which they would need with the torque, and in NASCAR they would be using 2 gears only for the oval races((or even one) (besides pits)) so it wouldn't matter how many gears you put.

[@kiliangyger4759]

coast2coast00 ok, thanks for your useful answer 👍🏼

[@mincenchez5887]

[@calska140]

No replacement for displacement. I miss the guttural roar of 4 litre+ N/A V8s. something primal in it. I wish they shifted at a higher rev range. They really make the hair stir under your cap when they get up higher.
