How does a hemi cuda not get mentioned in this vid.

[@bradhardy2629]

1968 Hurst hemi Darts and Barracudas are the fastest factory muscle cars until the hellcat came out.

[@Corman7088]

Oh yeah, they were fast but nowhere near factory though, think COPO or Yenko. Doors were acid dipped. Trunk,hood&fenders were fiberglass or any comforts like A/C, radio&carpet etc. Factory Hemi's were street spec w/ 10.25:1 compression,these were 12.50;1 & 1/4 mile time 10.30 sec. And technically weren't street legal either but didn't stop some 😏😎

[@bradhardy2629]

@@Corman7088 Either way. The hemi engine has ruled the quarter mile since Don Garlets started taking them out of 50s Imperials and putting them into his rail.

[@Corman7088]

@@bradhardy2629 Been interesting IF they actually were production cars? Can only imagine the level those released from rest then? May of come close to seeing 3 second cars already then?

[@jetsgardner5490]

Once again you seem bound and determined to insult hardcore car guys with your ignorant AI/computer voice instead of using a narrator. 1:29 you say it's distinctive because you call it a "hee-mee" instead of the correct "heh-mee." 3:23 & 3:57 Another video where an Oldsmobile 4-4-2 is called a four hundred and forty two. 4 barrel carbs, 4 speed Manual 2 racing pipes-there is no hundred anywhere in that name. It is not called a U30 it is a W30. 4:23 Pon-"tee"-ack, not Pon-chick, not Pontick. 6:15 -Cam-AIR-oh, not cam-arrow, 6:20 nor Chem-er-oh, nor 7:36 Kum-ahr-oh - the accent is on the 2nd syllable. At 9:00 Um, what weighs between 29-45 pounds??? please tell you don't think that's the torque.

[@stew9168]

LMAO I have a 4-4-2 and you wouldn’t believe how many people actually try to argue with me that it’s not original because it doesn’t have a 442 cid motor in it. I leave them to their ignorance, but yeah dropping the dashes in between the numbers confuses people.

[@janfswedane]

1970 Buick GSX....?

[@hunterhobbs4374]

I love American muscle cars, so thank you for the video. But, please find someone else to narrate these videos.

[@2bhyman]

Yeah you’re wrong my friend. They still had superchargers, did cams, headers, timing etc . I think you better do some more research.

[@auto-Insight-yt]

Corvette Zl1 is the best ✨ like if you agree

[@mitchnerem6759]

Wrong, wrong and more wrong... I do love the fantasy store you're telling but it's inaccurate.

What a superb video! 👍 Please check out my 1968 Barracuda fastback powered by a rowdy 512 stroker backed by an A833 4 speed manual. I think you'll approve! 👌

@American Legends - Where do you get your information from? Does anyone in your network actually own Muscle Cars? Corvette and Cobra are NOT Muscle Cars ! If anyone wants to know the TRUE meaning of a Muscle Car I would be glad to share . Lastly, Its obvious that you have no knowledge of what a Ram Air IV is ....

@@Jerry-up8bk Means NOTHING...stock 426 was 13.6, 440-6 was 13.8....and before 1972 ALL engines were over rated by 18% using the GROSS horsepower method so buyers got 18% less than advertised until 1972 when the real NET hp numbers were used. 440-6 was listed at 390 hp but was really only 325....this was corrected after 1971 in the parts catalog.

[@chadhaire1711]

@@Jerry-up8bk Cobra was not a standard production car dummy and all engines before 1972 were over rated listing GROSS horsepower that was 18% more than actually issued. The 485 hp claimed was really 395 net. Go back and try again BUDDY.
