Awesome look back interview with Gary and Dad! Gary asks some great questions 👍Good to see a '69 RA IV Goat in action. Loved the AMC's exhaust note.

[@robertblanchard6196]

Loved watching Tom!

[@michaelroberts6450]

Royal Bobcat GTO was running strong, by '69 they had their formula down on what exactly to do with that platform. The master mechanic who worked on those at Royal Pontiac also supposedly did the 390 AMC Hurst scramblers head work on those cars too. Seems like I saw an interview with him and he talked about it.

[@jcosta79]

Man, I miss Tom Hnatiw. 😢

[@eugenelazarev9795]

Great memories! Thanks guys!

[@classified70]

Being a Pontiac fan and owning 3 of them, yes I am biased here, despite all the cars are truly awesome its nice to see the Poncho show its true colors. For all you Pontiac doubters, the numbers dont lie!

[@charlesdalton985]

Nostalgia as a word also includes a certain pain (nostos and algos). I truly felt that watching this. I always looked forward to this program - a great combination of fun, funny, skill, and learning each week. Thanks for the memories, and all the work you continue to put out here. ~ Chuck

[@rcfred_689]

I loved this episode and the other factory muscle car shootout episode. What is very evident is, the owner of the cars from that era needed some mechanical tuning ability to get them to perform up to their potential - which is what makes them so appealing. Much different than muscle cars of today, which are like plug in appliances....

[@LocoD829]

Peter always seems so happy when talking about cars! Liv’in the dream buddy! Keep up the great content!

[@P51]

Thanks guys for the walk down memory lane. This deal is very entertaining.

[@mikeholmed7029]

I love seeing Tom!

[@reckemroysrc3764]

Some of the best TV ever filmed. 😊

[@z06doc86]

Back in the days of my 1969 Olds 442, if someone told me I would now be driving a stock C8 Corvette that runs 0 to 60 in less than 3 seconds, does 1/4 mile nearly 11 seconds flat, has a top speed over 190 mph, and gets 30 mpg on the interstate, I would say they are full of BS. These sure are the days. Thanks for the video. Sure miss your show and the Speed Channel.

[@MidnightinSavannah]

That GTO has ran 12.20s after this show aired.

[@josephnewcomb5670]

Would love to see a video on the Buick GS Stage 2 455

[@islandaerial3414]

I remember these shows... Had a '67 Fairlane XL 289 4V 4 Speed console front discs in high school

[@frankkeel8410]

This why I bought a Corvette with gmykhana suspension. It is like driving a go cart!

[@steveogee7458]

Awesomeness. ❤

[@harley8728]

Love the 69 GTO

[@billsmith8606]

I think the Pontiac hooked up best because of the factory four link in the rear the others were all leaf.

[@jims2286]

The burn out contest spray non stick cooking spray on the rear quarter panels lower and rubber wipes right off!!!

[@richardmorris7063]

Yep,great as always Guys but sure miss you're friend Tom. Poncho power wins!

[@mlsatke]

The GTO was the only car in the group that had control arm rear suspension, effectively a form of four link. All the others had leaf springs.

[@scarbourgeoisie]

The Rambler S/C belongs to my buddy Jeff. This was filmed before I met him, but he told me about how he loaned the Rambler to Peter for this episode/testing.

[@thegreenerthemeaner]

A Phase III Motion car came with an 11.50 guarantee. A 13.41 on street tires is off. The GTO was spot on. The Super Bee was off as well. The Shelby was about right, the Yenko clearly needed sorted out. The Scrambler was off a touch. Those cars were super light and launched nasty with dome stuckier tires. The lack of killer torque out of the hole meant you needed to slightly spin while moving off the line because once moving, they just needed to breath on top.

[@samuelgoodman2825]

Tom,the voice of reason.

[@forterierocks]

Would love to see a re-boot of the show, I know it would be different without Tom but would like to see it.

[@joevette6290]

Imagine the stopping distance go down if these pony cars had rear disc brakes!!!

[@DaneRates]

Accurate Ford research should show that at least one Ford Dealership sold modified 67 68 Mustangs with no graphics decals etc.

[@jimmymccormick142]

The mustang and the gt40 has more positive accomplishments than any of the other America made cars and they are worth more money

[@rickarra1833]

How many of you keep saying, yeah, but what if, what about.

[@z06doc86]

I miss Tom too.

[@tedshantz6193]

poor little smallblock amc againt them big blocks

[@matrox]

We called those Fake Ass Brakestand burnouts.

[@LtDan-ov6bf]

👍

[@jims2286]

To bad your friend Tom passed away early!!!

[@jasonhopper2680]

Love your videos guys but podcasting vids probably not your strong points😂. Stick to your strengths guys. CARS!!

[@iggyfritz7150]

Ford again was not represented well at all. To even the playing field how about a Holman Moody prepped 427 fairlane, Mustang or how about the famous thunderbolt? Or to throw a 427 soch powered ford drag team sponsered car. Even Chrysler had a badder car than this 440 they chose. How about a hemi dart? Although it's great to see these awsome cars in action to many better prefomance cars such as the 421 super duty tempest are not in the battle.

[@bobvalentine8927]

4 speed cars are faster than auto

[@MidnightinSavannah]

A 4 speed will MPH faster than an automatic but an auto will et better.

[@robintaylor1490]

Totally depends on the driver.

[@bobvalentine8927]

Chevy wheel hop just like ford
