The 180 MPH 1969 Dodge Daytona: "Project Angrier"

[@kentkruger737]

people getting butt hurt because a 69' car has the same or better drag coefficient than a modern car. Just stop. Admire.

[@highoctanegames]

Beautiful car, amazing car, legendary style. No wonder why it was so fast

It definitely was revolutionary for it's time, with Bobby Isaac getting 216.9mph in a race version

True car guys respect all cars. They may not like some of them personally but they respect them. All you people being rude to each other in these comments really need to step back and realize that life is all about perspective. Especially when it comes to something as personal as what cars you like. Showing such disrespect to anybody's preferred car is something that a teenager may do, not grown men that claim to be car enthusiasts. EDIT: Well except maybe a prius... that seems like fair game. (kidding, kidding)

[@400ss]

But I think most of us can agree that we hate ricers. No, not just civics. I mean ANY car with ridiculous cosmetic modifications that degrade a car style-wise or performance-wise and the driver bragging about it as if it were a race car. If he mods it to his/her taste, fine, but don't go around glorifying it.

Your sideburns have the same angle as that spoiler ;-)

[@roberthill7335]

Speaking of that, that is how you can tell the difference between a Plymouth Superbird and a Charger Daytona. The Daytona spoiler is more straight up, while the Superbird has a sweepback to the side fins. The Daytona spoiler is mounted at the very rear of the car, while the Superbird, the fins are mounted somewhat further forward. I love them both! There's a guy here where I live that gets a white 70 Bird out a couple times a year and cruises the local boulevard. Last time I saw it, it had 51,000 miles on it. Last year.

[@highoctanegames]

@@roberthill7335 Another way to tell is the Superbirds always came with vinyl top while a Dodge Daytona never came with one

[@Thenowinsurl]

@@highoctanegames another way to tell, super bird has scoops on the side. They also have different splitters, different nose cones, the charger has a vent in the nose cone. Also the charger has functional vents above the fender

@@Thenowinsurl Oh yeah true

[@polvoradelrey2423]

Coefficient of drag isn't something hard to enhance. The aerodynamic shape with the best coefficient of drag is already known. What's hard to design is a car that has a good coefficient of drag and also have down-force enough to create traction and to be fast on corners.

[@joshuakhaos4451]

I actually like that he's really matured(as one should) from back in the day with these old videos. I remember his Garage 419 videos and early smokingtire videos from my high school days, But some of his jokes definitely havent aged well i'll admit. Though this is not the worst thing he's said in his 15 years of entertaining, Its just probably one of the more cringiest things he's said lol. But I wish matt would not be so hard on himself for making an offensive joke like he does now. I think the PC California mentality has definitely imbedded itself pretty good now. Still love his content though, I've been a fan for nearly 15 years.

[@xBirdManDriZZyx7]

Love the cat.. But about the drag coefficient. I believe a beetle is at about a .34 which sound pretty much like the Ferrari. Less drag coefficient can equal less downforce, and even with the cartoonist wing (which I love) you can see why the coefficient is low and that i bet the downforce pushing on the wheels is less than expected. Although at that weight, worries may not be long lasting at low g's

[@Lalamotionpictures]

That Daytona sounds amazing!

[@perryman12345]

awesome car, you dont need music with that engine sound.

[@TheSmokingTire]

@Fleet472 We measured from nose to bumper, but the wing sticks off the back. I'm sure if you were measuring overall length, the wing would make up the difference.

[@Rebecca_The_Dragon]

Matt....did you really...really compare that thing to a prius at 5:34........really?

Why shouldn't he? The Prius is a very aerodynamic car despite it's looks.

[@ryann5247]

sniper1334 The prius also goes well with your purse and lipstick.... Come on, this car was so fast it was banned from NASCAR in 1969. Priuses have no business being mentioned near the holiness of the Daytona Charger

[@BoostAlmighty]

Ryan Norton He's comparing the air drag of the car. Less drag = more fuel efficient. And the fact that the car came from an era when no one gave 2 shits about fuel economy it's very cool this car is a slippery through the air as a fish. Meaning it can go like the stink!!! :D

[@ryann5247]

im pretty sure i know what drag coefficient is. Thats kind of my most of my job. Well that and other fluid mechanics and flight mechanics (i dont really do the strength of materials part). So dont call me retarded. The prius is a mom's car that has no business being mentioned around such a hardcore muscle car / unstoppable nascar warrior, regardless of its "super drag coefficent." I could mention the GTR's drag coefficent of .26Cd, but no one wants to hear about nissans from the present time on a video about classic muscle.

I literally did the same.

[@joshuakhaos4451]

@Automobili3XF I like that Matt has matured, but he's gotten pretty soft and tries so hard to be offensive anymore(which I understand to a point since he's damn near 40, but come on). But in his defense, this joke is more cringey than offensive. So I can see why he would be embarrassed by it now. I just wish he didnt get so upset that it comes off as racist, its not actually that racist. Just really cringe.

8-speeds have already been in use for a while in cars like the Charger, as well as a lot of the German full-sizes. The unit they're using is an intelligent and fast-shifting box. The large number of gears means you can have a stump-pullin' first and an intercontinental overdrive, while the spaces between ratios stays reasonable. When you ask for power, it goes directly to the proper gear without doing 5 shifts in between. Ford and Chevy are collaborating to make their own 8-speed now.

[@TheSmokingTire]

@rustlerboi1052 I can, and did, say the drag coefficient is better on this car. I don't think you understand that drag coefficient and downforce aren't the same thing. I never said anything about downforce, intentionally. The car may not have as much downforce as a Ferrari, but it's much, much slipperier. And the front air dam and rear wing do provide a functional amount of downforce, otherwise they wouldn't be there at all. It would be even more aerodynamic without them.

They really knew what they were doing back then. Im not saying everything was a hit...but Goddamn, there were a LOT of great muscle cars that ACTUALLY performed back in the day?

[@hunghuge7717]

The coefficient of drag is a bit of a red herring here. It's a measurement based on a calculation and is relative to frontal area but doesn't include it. The total drag does and that's the one that counts. This having a 0.28 is great but the car is enormous so it's 0.28 of a huge frontal area. It's also easier to get a better cd on a larger car as there is more free surface area to massage into shape.
