Super Cuda 208MPH! vs. Ferrari Enzo

HD Reupload here: • Can a custom Super Ply...
With about 7000 man hours and help from even Chip Foose, a normal 1970 Cuda was transformed into a unique beast, capable of giving the top European Supercars, like the Enzo, a run for their money. A Viper V10 with Twin Turbos was the selected engine of choice for this build and completely custom built suspension would ensure the Cuda’s extremely outdated aerodynamics and over 1000HP would be controllable.
LMC debuted the car at the SEMA Show in 2009 and less than a month later, the famous test day began. On December 1, 2009, LMC brought the newly built “Super Cuda” to Chrysler’s Chelsea Proving Grounds for a high-speed test with the goal of reaching 200 mph. In true Legendary fashion, an Enzo was also brought along for competition. The Super Cuda not only met the 200 mph goal, was smashed it by making it to an astonishing 208 mph. The car had more power left in it, but the 1970 Cuda aerodynamics were drawing a line for the top speed.
#Ferrari #200mph

Great video Peter welcome back , always loved your show .

[@patrickbeaton6697]

Both a beauty an a beast, absolutely incredible build ! 👏🍻

You can read about the building of the Super Cuda and the shootout with the Ferrari in the October 2018 edition of Mopar Action Magazine.

I miss hearing that theme song. And I miss Tom too. But that thing sounded like a jet! Holy crap!

So bundle the works into a kit for 70's E bodies, and Newer Challenger models

[@AlldatJazz-rw9wy]

Just nasty...💪💪💪

[@UncleLoodis]

208 mph is moving right along.

[@gibsondrummer]

You guys should make a plymouth 43 super bird tribute car with that viper engine and tweak it up to 250 mph

[@rcdesmond]

Last time I saw Peter was @ Watkins Glen ( around 2000) , up on the podium taking 1st in his Vette.

[@magneticpulseengine3605]

amazing flat cornering on that cuda looked to be very responsive as it should be. Did it have the AARA suspension underneath? mine had the 383 up front and wasn't nearly as responsive as this one didn't like the change they made to the 1970 version as they fitted it with plastic grillwork that was easily damaged by stones not like the sixties cars that had all metal lightweight aluminum

[@matrox]

The Enzo sounded like a can of bees at open throttle.😖Sheeesh.

[@patrickjohnson7801]

This could be a new tv program

[@VegasRT500]

I wonder what ever happened to his Cuda? It is my dream car and I hope to build one something like it one day.

[@kurtpoblenz2741]

I wonder what a superbird or Daytona would do having better aero packages?

[@mickyvionsellinas6743]

W W W WHOOOAWOW ... That's some speed machine . fantastic fun , cheers for downloading ...

[@racecitypatriot66]

Like to see an update of the super cuda.

[@rickbailey189]

That Super Cuda IS worth more than $1M. 208MPH! H--- yeah! Mopar 2U.

[@jamesshirrell3677]

Wow how cool are both of these sexy ass cars

You got the 308 vetrosena clips

And where’s the cuda now?

Supra fanboys would cry.

[@rayhope7957]

Like trying to race a high-speed brick, but it's cool...

[@the_metalist2221]

A twin turbo V10 sounds insane!!!... Also fun

[@legendarymotorcar]

Literally like a jet engine!

[@paulff3]

Peter, would a smaller rear tire be better for top speed?

[@jamieforbes3661]

Smaller would cut the speed. Larger tires would be needed for better top end.

[@paulff3]

@@jamieforbes3661 smaller width....

[@georgesabovick2549]

American muscle is awesome I love breweries. I’m also have Italian go to Ferrari would cost me more than a 70,000 I paid for the Cuda.

[@johnmontag]

What happened to this show

[@moms762]

Who filmed this? The video is a total crap blur.

[@IamMortui]

So basically a Cuda with a viper engine TT. Why not just TT a viper and have even the track power of one too compared to a Cuda?

[@georgesabovick2549]

I also have 74 Cuda with a RayBarton engine that I would like to run against a Ferrari

[@confuse9]

6000 hrs? At $100/hr - that's $600,000 That's a bit over the top.

[@largelarry2126]

They need to do the same thing but with a Daytona Charger. 1000 HP for a twin turbo Hemi seems very low to me.

[@steveleichner3845]

The copy at the top of page said it's a V10 Viper motor.

[@markcrawford8876]

I know you don't want to hear this, but put your motor, trans. And whatever cogs you desire in a c5 rear diff. And challeng the world! You Definantly will put more in the left column!

Super Cuda Top Speed : 208 MPH Ferrari Enzo Top Speed : 218 MPH So Ferrari Enzo is faster than Super Cuda.

[@aspieotaku3580]

By the time the Ferrari hits 218 mph the cuda hit the finish line 5 seconds ago.

[@krtacct]

@@mikeyerke3920 take the turbos off the cuda, put them on the Enzo and watch what happens next

[@michaelsummerell8618]

@@mikeyerke3920 What counts in real world driving is handling as well as speed. Take those to a real track and frankly the Cuda would be dusted. Sorry.

[@michaelsummerell8618]

@@mikeyerke3920 Haha! Nice reactionary reply there. I'm certainly no fanboy of Ferrari, I'm just pointing out the painfully obvious. Besides which, it's a bit rich being called a "fanboy" by someone who finds it necessary to defend his favourite car so vehemently. If you like the Cuda, that's cool. Just accept that there are a lot of other cars out there that are faster and better.

[@senadgalijasevic8568]

@@michaelsummerell8618 Patriotism makes people ignore reality. Americans do have the technology and are leaders in many fields however they can't make cars like Europeans can. Look at f1, only way America could go racing was to source the whole car from Italians.

It’s kind of car

Yeah race the Enzo around corners

208 Is run out of Kahonies too

[@dare2scheme904]

I'll take the Enzo and would feel much more safe doing 200 in the Ferrari. You broke the sway bar in a corner? The trim flew off and the hood nearly blew open... The car fundamentally not engineered for that velocity.

4200 pounds of waste! Americans love their cars fat and overweight! In 1962, a sophisticated Texan knew more about simple power to weight ratio than the best American engineers do in 2023/60 years later! Shelby! Keep them light and fast!
