Stacey digs into one of the most influential cars and cartoons in our history. Speed Racer and the Mach 5. This show not only takes you thru the history of the Cartoon, but also its cultural impact on multi-generations. But that’s not all, Stacey manages to “borrow” the real Mach 5 and put it thru the paces against Racer X and other challengers. If you’ve never crossed the line between fact and fiction, real and imagined…we invite you to do it now with Stacey and Speed Racer! Go…Speed Racer…..Go!!!

My mom wouldn't let us watch it because she thought it was too violent. So I had to go down the street to my friend Michael's house and watch it there. While we played with his new-fangled (for the US anyway) LEGO block thingies. FWIW, now I have a LEGO Mach V. I had the Racer X, Snake Oiler and a couple other cars from the live-action movie, but I gave them to my grand-nephew a couple of years ago.

I remember being in love with the Mach 5 since the day I first seen it over 50 years ago. I built model cars but wondered why there was never a kit of it. I feared I was the only one that wanted or liked the car. I can't begin to tell you how thrilled I was to watch this. Doing donuts, on the track, in the garage and the helmet to top it all off. Thank you!!

There have been 2 Speed Racers. The original Japanese version and the updated version. I have seen both of them. The Mach 5 was the most outrageous race car ever in anime. A car that can jump over obstacles, use saws to cut things, and could even be driven underwater. It was even copied into an evil version that could fly and even shoot lasers from a powerful cannon. Iconic car indeed.

I loved watching Speed Racer back in the late 60s. Did you notice that one of the gadgets in the Mach 5 is being used today? The built-in hydraulic jacks are in the closed-body race cars that look about 2 inches off the ground. When it pulls into the pit, the jacks extend to let the crew change the tires, then retract when the job is done. Life imitating art. 🏎😎

I know it came out in 67 because I watched it as a kid. But the one they turned into the real live action car for the movie was a 1979 Corvette that they tore apart and modified to look like the cartoon car. Since the movie came out i have seen several replicas built on c4 Corvette Chassis and even a few home made ones found here on KZbin.

@@larylhuntington5398 I had a horrible childhood, very abusive father, mentally incompetent mother. To escape reality I watched shows like Speedracer and would constantly daydream about being him in the show. I eventually ran away and was adopted by another family at the age of 15, joined the AF at 18 and never looked back. Watching or even talking about speed racer is a mixed blessing. It was my emotional escape but it also reminds me of the brutal environment I was in at the time.

Dude I sincerely want to thank you for the trip down Memory Lane with the good old Speed Racer history lesson. I've learned today that UltraMan & Giant Robot weren't my only childhood entertainment from Japan, but as it turns out my entire after school childhood entertainment lineup all came straight from Japan. I remember in 1974 as a little boy in the 4th grade when I was asked what did I want to be when I grew up, I always said a Race Car Driver, thanx to Speed Racer! However I grew unto be one of Washington DC's baddest Funk Bassist. I did however race crotch rockets for a number of years though. After the expense and the toll on my body from wrecks after a while the touring & recording studio work took presence over the bike. But thanx again!

I can honestly say that in the 1960s, Speed Racer was my introduction and sparked my interest in cool cars. 😊

SoCal, West Covina... 70s... we had about 40 UHF channels and one of them would run Speed Racer marathons all the time. When I was about 8 I asked my dad why our 69 Nova SS had no interior or seats except the driver's seat and he told me to keep it light for racing. So when I saw the saw blades and the lift mechanism, all the Mach 5 stuff I called BS on it. My old man laughed and said "you're right, that car would fail inspection"

Little known fact; The ...Days Of Thunder screenplay was originally for Speed Racer the movie. The studioheads scrapped the Speed Racer movie and sold it to become...Days of Thunder starring Tom Cruise. The screenplay was rewritten but you can see elements of Speed Racer such as the building of the car in a barn.

On a motorcycle ride through north Texas we stopped at a car collection in Nacona. The garage, belonging to a friend of a friend, was closed but looking through the window like a 5 year old, I saw the MACH 5! Life got in the way for a while and we didn't get to go back and visit for a few years, BUT when we did.... There it was! I was that 5 year old kid again looking at the Mach 5! It was roped off, so nobody could touch it. I relived my childhood again, seen it live and right in front of me! I don't know if it was the "REAL" Mach 5 or not and truly don't care. The museum has since been closed and all of the cars sold at auction, but I got my picture taken with the MACH 5!

Actually the front spinning blades were about half the size they should have been too small to be spec. Still great car.

I think the concentration and duration of the wheel oscillating at 4:21 woke me to the realities of mechanics. I find the cartoon's presentation of that purposeful and and elementarily educational. I now can understand concepts of the stillness of the body (inertia), spring rate, dampening and forcing function of the road.

I was born in the 90's and it was not the delorean, the batmobile, or initial D. It was actually speed racer mach 5! Incredible fantasy engieering. My dad had me watch it when I was young and I fell so hard in love. then the movie came out and boy I was shook! totally different style but it matched so perfectly. I am so upset they are not gona make another. It was the Mach 5 that got me into cars! 1967 baby, it is so iconic.

Great quick tip. I lost a socket in a tight space. Ordered new one. The socket is still there I guess, couldn't see it. Or it's somewhere on a highway. No, not a 10mm, a 13mm actually.
