Top 10 FASTEST Muscle Cars of 1971

[@johnfloyd838]

I owned a 71 442 Oldsmobile cutlass that I bought from a very good friend in highschool and me and my cousin did a lot of work to it and I took it to atco speedway in Atco new jersey and it ran low 12's in the 1/4 mile and from then I was hooked on cuttlass's, they had a great body style and were very powerful machines and were reliable and very fast 😎👍❤️

[@johntechwriter]

Yeah, as a teen I drove a 442 with Hurst shifter and it was a monster.

[@auto-Insight-yt]

the Olds 442 is the GOAT ❤❤

[@59Napoli]

I am not I buy this, a lot of the data presented is not accurate and you could clearly see that whomever put this together was not a muscle guy aficionado. Incidentally, the 70 and 71 Hemi Engines where rated the same. however in the video they had them under different numbers claiming the 71 rated lower.

[@brodywankenobi66]

This is true but in 71 manufacturers listed hp numbers in both sae gross and sae net ratings. Thus to help people with the transition in 1972. Could be the possible culprit here

[@johntechwriter]

So right. Typical KZbin, this vid consists of portions stolen from other vids, and it is never an apples to apples comparison. This is click bait, pure and simple.

[@jocko1176]

440 six pack had 390 HP

[@roycallahan-x9r]

The 426 was a hemi engine

[@larrymunger6242]

The 1971 426 Hemi had 425 h.p. not 385

[@johntechwriter]

More like 500 hp. And the earliest Hemi options in ‘65 used the racing bocks, which put them in a different universe.

[@zackjay71]

In 71 the ratings went to Sae your talking Gross

[@thomasthurston6656]

How about the Stage 1 ?

[@bluesky-ud9wg]

Fastest is a vehicles Top Speed, Quickest means Acceleration. Get your info right...

[@RUfromthe40s]

yes , i agree i don´t even find funny the destruction of good perfect tires in a few meters, a quarter mile 1/4 x1.6meters isn´t it

[@299charles]

Everyone says the 426s are faster than the 440s………

[@Johnnycdrums]

Well, 440 with the six pack, was probably better of the line, although slightly. The 426 Hemi is racy, the 440 six pack is a glorified tractor motor by comparison. Nobody who owns a 426 hemi wishes they had a 440 instead. Although, almost everyone who owns a 440 would prefer a 426 Hemi in it's place.

[@RUfromthe40s]

i had the first Barracuda, the second only sold around 5 or 6 and it´s `Cuda(see the litle signal before the C)the beep beep wasn´t known better by it´s older model from late 60´s it even had the WB. bird with some graphics on the side panels and in purple at least mine and the horn made BEEP BEEP, they could have released the Vega coyote model there´s a body , i think it´s the second that i found nice but i also liked the second half of the 70´s charger and wasn´t fast

[@RUfromthe40s]

well ,not fast enough

[@jamesstuart3346]

Barracuda, Challenger, Camaro, and Firebird were not Muscle Cars. They were Pony Cars as they were conceived as competition for the original Mustang. Muscle Cars were 2 door versions of mid-sized sedans

[@zackjay71]

No they are Muscle cars under the sub Class Pony Cars.

[@bruceh92]

Kind of nice that all the footage here that you stole, 100% of the video in truth, you at least credited by noting that you ripped them off. Kind of bad that you had no intention of creating your own.

[@DuaneSeidr]

No true 429 scj was ever tested!. Only 429 cj with 4.11 gears. NOT a 429scj in the mustang! The B0SS 351 aka the big block killer,true obviously 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@halperkins1791]

BOLOGNA!!

[@isaiahramirez9651]

No GTO I think it’s too mopar heavy never lost to a mopar ever.

[@davidhath196]

Mopar sucks!

[@ahoorakia]

2:36 it clearly shows on the hood, it has 440 SIX not a 426 with dual 4 barrel! If you use real person instead this IDIOT AI there would be lot lees mistake in reading numbers

[@johnknott6539]

Even the drag race of 2nd to last was not a Mach1 Mustang. So lazy, poorly researched, AI commentary ridiculous. And I don’t claim to be an expert- just average knowledge from someone who grew up in this era

[@RUfromthe40s]

i had a 74 firebird Formula 400 i think for some time was the fastest car in the world or wasnt it

[@ahoorakia]

8:35 mustang lost to chevy 😂😂 11:00 mustang lost to chevy ,again😂😂

[@chucktaylor9190]

chevrolet for the toilet. lol

[@johntechwriter]

Click bait, do not waste your time. My current-gen Miata beats the Hemi in the quarter, which shows how stupid this comparo is. The difference in performance then and now was tires, not monster V8s.

[@sbonamo]

I love muscle cars, but my Q60RS with a 6 cylinder twin turbo smokes em' all, and handles LOL.

[@alanmichaelbourdon]

AMC Javelin wins the Trans Am Championship for both 1971 and 1972, the Typhoon 401cid gave it a 13.5 second quarter mile and it is not even in last place? Really?? 426 cid is a Hemi (Mopar) engine and a 427 or 428 were Cobra Jets(CJ) and the 428 was also the Super Cobra Jet (SCJ) depending upon the internals. Very lazy video.
