CORRECTION PRODUCTION OF THE FBODY ENDED 2002👑👑

🍗 horsepower wars got people out there thinking less than 1000whp is slow but they can’t even handle 500whp

Social Media is why the Car Culture is dead Social Media is why a lot of things in our modern society is no longer as valued or sacred anymore and horsepower is so numb now it’s crazy especially if you never felt 300HP in your life that’s a lot of horsepower if you never felt it before

This man has endless supply of references!!! a. Hauls more ass than (fill in the blank) b. Nastier than (fill in the blank)

The prowler was a real life hot wheels car. Used to love it when I was a kid 😂

Mopars didn’t ruin car culture it’s the clowns that drive them. From shitty mods to character themed builds to take overs.

Social media ruined car culture. Mopar ruined an entire generation's credit.

Car culture became pop culture and that's what ruined it.

Im in my 50s and I remember going out even after the advent of KZfaq and racing on the streets. We still respects the streets and didn’t act stupid. When these kids started doing them “take overs,” is when it all went down hill. They had no respect for no one. Then if a family would need to get through that buffoonery they would attack the family sometimes hurting people. What was worse was when they post that ish, and get all them likes and comments egging that crap on. I still go out, but the group I’m with, even though some kids are 30 years my junior, they know to respect and not bring attention to us as a group. I’m gonna chase that street car life till the day comes I stop breathing.

Facts: Prowler is actually the distant cousin to the Hellcat. Prowler was the catalyst for the SRT team. Also the V6 was on par with most V8’s at the time due it only weighing 2800lbs from its all aluminum chassis

I was 21 in 2004 with a dsg 03 terminator. Those were the days and you are exactly right about everything you said.

Bruh 😂 not "nastier than a pastor taking a gas station pill mid service" 😂😂😂

🍗 it was the hellcats for me. All of a sudden 700hp cars with no imagination showed up. Sure people started adding to them, but it felt like it was pointless. Then the clubs where I am from went tuners only and no v8s. Then it turned into a beef, and I bowed out. I do loud systems now.

That crossover looks like it has 2 front ends on 1 damn vehicle 😂

2005-2009 mustang GTs are underrated. I had one stock and it drove like it had a supercharger. Definitely had every bit of that of that horsepower that it says it did from Factory 🤣☝️

You absolutely nailed it with this video bro. I was shocked at seeing the prowler engine choice. I couldn't believe the missed opportunity

Ive been lucky enough to have the same terminator cobra since 2003. Mostly stock. Not even interested in putting up 7-800 horses anymore with all these factory cars doing it and it being so easy. Id rather have a balanced car than the fastest thing out there.

🍗 You are the only reason, why I downloaded tiktok. Can‘t get enough of that sauce. Keep doing you💪🏻🤙🏻

The fact that Chevy never brought that Australian Holden UTE truck to America is a travesty

E55’s are the best bang for buck when tuning them.

Chevy SSR is no joke still my favorite vehicle. It's just so unique that I like it. Not practical but cool to me

2002 was the last year camero just saying 35 anniversary was one of my favorite cars slp twin stinger pipes

You're one of the most knowledgeable guys on the platform, seriously a wealth of knowledge 🍗

Bro I don’t how you remember all this shot about these cars, your like a genius or something. I hope one. Day I can talk cars like you. For now all I can do is fuck shit up as I learn. I got this 89 ford crown Vic i started to disassemble the engine . I hope to put it back together better than it was before. Anyway keep doing your thing young man.

I grew up in mopar family before the charger or challengers were even back. My dad had 73 challengers, what ruined dodge was kids,takeovers, and rappers.

I live in KY. I feel like the divide between people has driven any one who is not into urban culture to stay away from car culture. 20 yrs ago you still saw young guys build what ever. Rat rods, lowriders, or just a clean classic or euro. Not any more.

I think I seen you on facebook first and you were talking about a rate Mitsubishi. The “ways less then an unborn baby” had me dead😂. Keep it up holmes, I love cars❤

appreciate the longer video and all the entertainment, would love more vids this length and even longer 🍗🍗🍗

Brother you are to be honored. Your raw knowledge of engines is amazing

Dont put this evil on Mopar. Its not the car that ruined it, its the drivers that did....

Mopar ruined mopar by being mopar.

Love the video bro! Keep up the great work 👍🏾 🍗

BlackCarGuru, appreciate your hard work, humor, and knowledge. Keep crankin out those 🔥 🔥 🔥 videos. Continued success, My Brotha.

Just wanted to say I appreciate your content. I don't know enough to comfortably call myself a car guy yet but you make stuff that's both entertaining and helps me learn perspective.

As always I like a good breath of fresh air before work in the morning. Enjoyable video as always and the humor makes it that much better along with the facts about these cars. I hope you have a good morning and a great day today. Hopefully you have a good weekend and enjoy yourself whatever you get yourself into.

good point.. back in 2009 i use to look up car meets on youtube.. 2016 came around i started to find them in chicago.. cause of facebook & social media!

Aye Guru when are you gonna talk about the vr6? Let’s get some German sleepers in this cookout

You know what I actually liked this truck SSR, I would love to have one and do a complete frame off resto mod and do LS Engine swap with a Whipple Super Charger and a serious interior. Have a custom Kandy paint job and some mean ass Borla full exhaust

Agreed for the most part but I'd like to add that A) I personally like the SSR :P B) Mopar didn't do it alone, we can also blame stagnant wages (young people can't afford even entry level sports cars anymore) and the proliferation of pickup trucks and SUVs taking over the market segment sedans used to populate (automakers have to build cars as crash compatible to vehicles that weigh 1.5x-2x as much as previous averages and with bumpers several times higher which is also why visibility on modern cars sucks, but therefore small fun cars lose out)

This is just history repeating itself, with cars that are designed based on the original muscle car wars of the late 60's and early 70's. You make some great videos bro, you should do one about the old muscle car wars too.

I would add that the American horse power wars of the 2000s were a direct result of the Japanese horse power wars of the 1990s. Talking the big boys from Japan: Skyline, Supra, Evo, Rx7, WRX/STI. I think America and Europe were late to the party in the 1990s but finished strong in the 2000s. Even Mercedes and Audi show up with high horse power in the 2000s. Redlines and AMGs.

You started the video dissing the SSR & Prowler based on appearance and being under powered. But you end the video implying the muscle wars inadvertently ruined car culture with insane HP, thus making performance irrelevant. Sounds like the Prowler and SSR were unique ideas, were as the later years car manufacturers were just trying to keep up with the Jones…

Back in 2015, I got a chance to sit in a Camaro Z28 Silver one with Black Wheels and those huge Brembos. I was in love man. Wish I could have afforded one. One day I’ll get one.

The prowler: vintage looks, vintage power.

My C6 Corvette had a LS2 (400HP). It was FAST, and handled great. It was very fun to drive and didn't need more HP. There is a good balance with HP and handling. More HP does not mean better handling, in most cases it makes it worse.

Remember those cars in cash money videos growing up lmaooo

And in 2006 I got myself a 300C!

🍗 love your videos brother, VERY informative and funny. Keep up the great work and God bless 💯

Outstanding video. You really know your stuff. I got into the LS scene back in the mid 2000's and dove deep into all of this stuff. You are extremely well informed on these topics. I wish you continued success!

keep up the excellent content bro…..by way of Chicago!!

Mopar is car culture it’s had some of the Most iconic cars through out history

I think when Ford brought back the retro look for the mustang in 2005, other manufacturers followed suite. Unless im wrong and Chrysler and gm had prototypes already mentioned. Ford did a great job with the design for the 2005-2009 Ford mustang GT. Also, around the same time, Ford made the next gen Ford GT since the 60's. It very closely resembles the classic GT40.

🍗 Thanks for the info man! I thoroughly enjoyed that.

I just picked up a 2006 300c I absolutely fell in love

Nope. Barris and Jackson ruined car culture by giving people the idea that they can get $50,000+ for their $2,000 pieces of 💩.

It’s sad because I was a dodge guy at first. I had a v6 challenger then a RT. Never got the scat. Ended up going 5.0 and never looked back.

🍗 I grew up a Mopar fan, never owned anything fancy, 06 RT charger, 05 300c, and a 05 Jeep Grand Cherokee With the 5.7. Loved me a hemi, modern car culture made me literally SICK of the word Hemi. That’s all these guys know. I have a 08 Straight piped Crown Vic P71, I can’t tell you guys how many people have walked up to me and asked if I did a Hemi swap 💀 like dude this thing sounds far from a hemi, some guy told me he thought every V8 was a hemi

Dude Got wet When he saw The Yellow Charger. Had bro talking nervous like when a 10 walks in a room😂

With the introduction of the new charger mopar definitely made the 2024 mustang more popular than the head chearleader with dirt on her knees

Car scene is boring. Majority have Mopar, those who don’t are into the whole “sleeper” thing. And those who do aesthetic changes just murder out everything. I think the Sixpack will attract more of the tuner crowd and we’ll non muscle cars start to shine again. I’m also more impressed seeing a built up RT than a Hellcat.

The amount of education you get from cars from this man is astounding. I feel like I could listing to him talk about cars off the dome forever. I can barely listen to the kid flexing hellcat his car while picking up pizzas at my job 😂😂

🍗 you talking that real race car shit bro keep doing it! 👌🏾

Lovin this longer format content!

I don't let social media dictate the bar. I always say a lot of these people can't even handle over 400 horsepower. If you build anything over 500 horses that car will fly. Just make sure you invest into better brakes.

I'm surprised you didn't bring up the mighty V10 Dodge viper. What is an incredibly scary ride

They did. They were trying hard to save it in an age where no one goes outside anymore. They killed it instead. But that’s okay. An 05 mustang gt has been my dream car since December 2004. I finally got it this year. It’s incredible. Don’t care what someone’s horsepower number is.

I’m surprised you even mentioned the E55 M113K engine, amazing to see it being appreciated. Just sad to see that the horsepower wars kinda ruined everything, because back in the early 2000s 350 hp used to be seen as decently good and high, but now today if you have 300 hp you’re seen as slow and having a weak car. It really numbs how powerful 300 hp is. And yes the people who own mopars are the ones who kinda screwed everything up, they’re the wannabes to be fair. Horsepower isn’t everything but damn do they make it seem like it is.

I have said before, Pontiac problem was it lost it's identity. General Motors had Chevrolet as it's budget division and Cadillac as Ultra Luxury performance division, everything in between got confused and over lapped.🤔 Pontiac ever since the 1960s was supposed to be GM performance division. So why was Pontiac selling minivans and crossovers never made sense to me???🤔. Pontiac should had concentrated on making sports or performance cars, like GMC only sells trucks. But that too is a confused division also.😮 General Motors as a whole has too much overlapping cars and trucks period. 😢

I like this guy.. Hez funny.. 😝.. Says some truth. It's like sports talk... WITH CARS!👍🏻

The Prowlers transaxle can't even handle the power of a hemi, and the v6 was one of the most powerful engines when it was new.

🐔wing! Chevy didn't even try at a four-door 600 horsepower SS Impala

Yu spot on as usual bro Only thing I gotta say is Mercedes worked with doge in the building of the 06 charger which made the engine mil spec and extremely hard to work on which is why it’s the first and last one they did together

This was very informative. Keep these reviews rolling brother!

Don’t forget about the Dodge Magnum! The Magnum and 300 was running the streets together

🍗 shout-out to Dat Memphis u the man bro car intelligence like no other

Subscribed today! Really dig your videos! Keep up the good work!

I remember being 19 buying a 06 Srt8 300. Everyone said I was spoil but idgaf cause I was driving what most adults couldn’t afford and I still have three car with 274k Miles on it

Nonono, the SSR always looked awesome!

i want a dodge magnum to pair with my 2018 chrysler300 but the problem is finding a magnum in good condition with prolly less than say 80k miles is going to be hell to attempt. especially if i want one in a color other than black white or grey

Love the videos keep em coming 🍗

I never knew ppl thought the SSR WAS UGLY it was more of the entire setup of the pickup that didn’t make sense looks beautiful and the Plymouth

Chicken wing🍗 we appreciate everything you do to guru cuz without you my man I wouldn't know nearly as much as I do about cars

And you've got some mad scientist out there that's squeezed a HellCat under that little Prowler hood.

Prowler was bad ass but they didn’t want it to steal from sales of the viper so they undercut the power

**Chicken wing** The terminator ain't have no competition in its heyday. Who was stepping to a new edge terminator in 2004? E46 M3s and S2000s had to fall in line.

Then they put "Charger" on a K-car it all ended. Ford did it to the Stang adding II at the end - Then, Dodge put "Charger" on a 4dr sedan ... They admitted as much with the retro Challenger

I still remember a time when ppl wanted to see muscle cars go 200mph it was around the time when the bugatti veyron was real popular

No Intro? with an Amazing Outro? We luv you to gang

As a kid I liked both the SS and prowler. I was a dumb kid. 😂

I loved the SSR!!

Excellent piece young man.

The 2005 300 had a SRT8 Model. The first SRT8. And the Charger was from 06-2010.

I was here when the views hit the size of the base Chrysler motor.

Glad to see another video from you, hitting the nail on the head and making it stupidly entertaining at that!

i'd proudly whip the walter whitemobile over the crossovers that are being pumped out now, could chuck a supercharged 3.8 in it if the la1 blows up

German won the horsepower war in the 2000s. SL65 with more torque and power than a Viper. RS6 wagon that dusted most cars on the Autobahn. M5 with the F1 V10. Then emissions regulation ruined everything.

300 horsepower in my 4.0 mustang is more than enough to wrap me around a tree at 90 mph. Hellcats and cool and all, but I'd take a 302 anyday of the week.

Mopar didn't ruin car culture. It was the Pookies who got their hands on Mopars that ruined the culture.

When Plymouth was in development of the Prowler, the best v8 Chrysler had on hand was the 318 or the 360. The 3.5L v6 has more power and weighs less than either of those engines.

The main two things that ruined car culture in america, is Reaganomics fucking up our economy by taking the trade embargo off of basically all foreign things, and shows like Top Gear trashing anything that didn't turn on a dime. Top Gear is to cars what MTV did to music.
