dodge is going back in the right direction though, as close as you can get to that classic muscle feel

Agreed ! We have a friend 30mile away, has one in his barn, he bought new..sure wish he would sell to us, to fix up&drive!

Yes ! We bought a new Hemi Challenger when they came out, and LOVE it !

Dont forget the satellite 2 door! :)

Ahh the 2008 is pure nostalgia I have a toy hot wheels of the 2008 challenger

Actually the Hemi was Half the reason it was banned. The Hemi is the ONLY engine Banned in Every style of racing at one point or another...which is why it a legend. 1952 the A311 331 ci Hemi was blowing away the fastest Indycars away (track records) that they complained and had the displacement regulations lowered for the hemi and other pushrod engines. Ford did the same for the Hemi in Nascar and superspeedways in 1971. The Father of the Funny car,....the Mopar altered wheeled cars were Banned from running in NHRA in 1965 and moved to IHRA racing. Funny thing is that Cummins....associated with MOPAR since 1989, also was a first at INDY with being the first HiPo diesel powered race car....back in they 1950s. They never had to stop for fuel, only tires. 40 yrs later Audi Diesels got into racing...and it was a big deal, LMFAO.

nonsense, the superbird was NEVER outlawed and the HEMI was not either......geeze the Hemi won a ton of races between 1966 and about 1974........NASCAR limited all 5 aerocars, the superbird, daytona, torino talladega and mercury cyclone and the charger 500 to a 305 inch engine after 1970.......NO individual car was outlawed.

@silverbird58 - I was told that the advantage Elliot had was the soft cylinder head material developed by Ernie , Bill's brother, which allowed a higher compression ratio. Everyone thought Bill must be cheating after winning so many races, but it was all legal!

david thayer firebird is outlaw.. cause it’s smoky bandit! 😅🤣🤷🏻‍♂️

They dominated the super speedways, if memory serves me correct they weren't banned, in 71 they either had to add weight or go to a smaller engine.

I met him at Lee USA speedway In New Hampshire USA. He is a class act. A young lady wanted a picture of him but was holding a small child and having trouble taking the picture. He reached out and took the baby in his arms so the lady could take the picture. Now they have a picture of him holding her baby. That was Back in 1991.

My hat is off with respect to all of the townsfolk for letting him do so. Simply outstanding!

yep...my wife grew up down the road from him

Same in Salisbury bro

Well..speaking from experience actually..with a win at pomona drag strip..class champion and all..Pontiac of course..u scant beat those dodges..sounds like a rail like a Keith. Black engine

Michael Hunt flexing wins, poor English, and bad explanations? Yeah, you sure seem legit.

Unrestricted Mopar Hemi, Chevy LS7R, Ford 289 Hi-po (or HO as I call it), 427 SOHC cammer, AMG M120 7.3. Aston Martin 4.7 liter AMG M156/9. And the Huayra's M158. Best engine sounds of all fluffin' time.

i can't believe your comment only got 10 likes. even though i'm more of a jdm guy, that was one of the greatest sounds i have ever heard. i would actually say that it sounds better than the LFA to me

imagine this roaring past at 200mph back in the day... i sure wish i was around to hear that

I turned my headphones to 9/10 right as the starter cranked

Kind of makes your heart skip don't it …

It's all in the cam, massive overlap and lift..13: 1 compression, unrestricted exhaust- I" m in Heaven just hearing this beast screaming- ENOUGH IDLING!! I WANNA GO FASTER !!

Yeah, just listen to that wildly-lumpy cam! Pure music! Sounds like she's chewing marbles!

That's a fact!

hahahahah yes

Strip “The King” Weathers

Maybe they had the fire truck, for safety, and to make it a “parade” as far as the law is concerned? I bet the locals are used to it though, and probably don’t mind one bit.

Damn right they do lol

You want to see a nation in mourning just wait till the sad day arrives that The King goes on his last ride.

It probably could if they really updated it and everything and brought it out there but every car has the same now you can't be different

Petty and Earnhardt are gods here.

Nicolas Roselli Damn right

It is great and so is the Shelby Cobra! Basically an Engine on Wheels!

Sounds like heaven for petrolheads

Dee Jay Sounds like a bulldog on the end of a short leash, with a cat standing one foot away, staring it down.

Yeah that mean fucker was ready to take off and go. See the guy driving how he was bouncing around and the cars front end was jumping lol.

DJ o

Buggity, buggity, buggity. lets go racing!

DJ its because the ratio pf the gears to reach more highspeed...

***** Outstanding! Keep the past alive, where it's worth keeping ... and THAT sure as hell IS!

***** God. Damn. Canadians. Aye.

Troubleshooter125 and The King won everything there almost.

Flammen. No jive, Clive!

Troubleshooter125 I liked the mid 80s too..

Those beast were not meant to idle or drive around slow. They were geared and carbureted to run balls out.

yep..you could tell she just wanted to let all her Hemi ponies loose.

​@kingduckford the reason for OHC is because of displacement regulations in many countries, forcing them to make more power with less displacement. Cam in block engines are still everywhere in America. The beauty of a cam in block design is that it's very compact. My LS7 (7.0l) is smaller and lighter than a BMW S65 (4.0l). It also makes a lot more horsepower.

Son he is the real life version. Richard Petty voiced the king in the movies and he was the king of nascar years before the cars movie was even dreamed about.

It's an amazing sound!

that mfca sounded like our sex

yes joisey called cam "lope" - makes THAT distinctive sound.

Used to go to Darlington races every race. Saw Rip Hawk and Sweed Hanson in infield.

Chuck Gura *carbon fiber & sheet metal

Still, he has a good point, They almost do look like they're RC cars.

Modern nascar "stock" cars are a joke

Chuck Gura it's angry that it hasn't been driven.

Why whoever runs Nascar, why have you done this

Very true. Mr petty looks clean as a newborn and fresh as a mint 🔥

Facts, can't blame him it must be something beastly in person

Na1ve save your dough. they still pop up in Hemmings for around $200,000

Na1ve for cheaper you can get a regular Plymouth roadrunner body, and buy the parts so you don't have to ruin a real one, but can still have a nascar

My bank account suggests otherwise 🥲

Max Speedster Your ol' school, I love you man!

swarmed with cops, but how would they catch you ? :)

They had permits or something. You can see the police motorcycle that they're following in one of the shots. I'm guessing the city is cool with The King bringing tourists (money) there. Pretty cool

Cars référence strip weathers

Saw this car take a parade lap at Martinsville in about 1986 or 87. Just this car on the track by itself. That hemi made the whole racetrack rumble. Unforgettable.

Chris Tiburzi they Had the Roar blocked off in both ends

Chris Tiburzi Petty enterprises basically owns the town.

big facts you could tell this isn't an easy car to control at all but Larry had the beast under control.

Agreed.

its the past. the real Nascar of the 70's was the new Nascar at the time and people were saying the same. In 2040 if NASCAR exist some of us will dream of seeing and racing a COT

@@juniorvalentine8837 I was around then and no one was saying that that I was aware of. I was around in the 60s and no one was doing it. There comes a time when all sports sort of self destruct and NASCAR is one of them and F1.

@@craigpennington1251 in the 70s nobody looked back on the good old days because there wasn't the same quality of good old days, it wasn't until the 70s that the good old days existed, you can't look back on something that doesn't exist, so yea, in 2040 people will look back at today as the good old days

@@natefnbr8494 That statement is true to a point. It's all on how one looks and lives it as to what qualifies as The Good Ole Days in everything.

It's the least we can do, given that the Brits hooked us up with the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Marshall amplifiers, etc. Rock on! (And that racing Hemi music sure is sweet! Eight angry cylinders ready to go eat something... )

Glenn Hecker agreed. Dark Side Of The Moon, in my opinion, is probably the best album ever made. Also, there are some cool British cars, too. Whereas American Muscle from the 60's and 70's is just pure in your face badassery, Jaguars are more like refined aggression. Much love from across the Atlantic, you wacky, lovable brits.

A P very true. Cobras are freaking AWESOME!

Powerful V-8 engines have that type of effect on folks.

Sounds like a cross between symphony orchestra and machine gun fire!

Robbie R. Esq. Like they'd catch it if they did get pulled over lmao

Doesn't matter with cops. Its Richard Petty

@@markcoleman2890 Everybody know him I guess. An icon in racing when the skill and no computer assist ruled the race track!

If I was a cop and got the call that Richard petty (or one of his super birds) was driving with no tags (and it wasn’t stolen) I would respond just so I could watch

facts I had to replay that like 10 times. the reporters reaction is perfect.

facts man the reporter was very on point. this car has a presence.

Fred Garvin Nascar bans everything talk about blocking innovation

Guys say how much NASCAR is banning innovative ideas, but I also see this in your normal car dealerships. You see cars like the Supra, S2000, Skyline, Challenger, Cuda and how those were innovative in performance ... these days everything is so mudded down because of emissions laws, hybrids, electrics ... bleh

A new Challenger with a 392 inch Hemi is faster than any muscle car made in the 60's, 70's, or the 80's. Without the Hellcat, that's in another realm altogether. We are driving the fastest muscle cars in history, and the performance is still increasing. I give the big 3 a lot of credit.

who gives a single shit about muscle cars??

@@AdolfHitler-xp1nx ....you are on the wrong side of youtube then, Adolph

Reginald Spence II when that hemi started every Prius in a 10 mile radius blew up.

American thunder!

Chris Pappas you’re on the money, that’s literally the reason Plymouth made it

Petty has said in interviews that is what happened....

@silverbird58 , 428 side oilers either . . .Oh my !

That was what they wanted

Look up an article entitled Wings of a White Dodge.

Do it a Daytona 2017.(but better make sure there's only enough fuel to make it around the track 1 time or Richard may not start the race but run in it.)

Warren Chambers that would be fucking awesome

Warren Chambers and that would be bad because?

cool to see richard drive that as a pace car for a nascar race.

Dmk Dmk agreed!!!! Petty should drive the opening part of the a NASCAR race with this as the pace car

Chuck Gura makes sense. I was wondering how he had it cruising at like 30 mph without it jerking.

It seemed to be jerking a little bit when he was following the red firetruck looking vehicle with the camera crew, perhaps the car wanted to rocket off!

SwaffyX makes sense! 600 hp cannot be driven so calmly

Those times were Nascar's bests, but then they came in 2000 and made crap, like when the Pontiac Grand Prix was added.

New NASCAR's are still incredibly basic.

Do you want his legacy to continue to live with the current generation of kids or not? If he werent in Disney Pixar cars, kids would already be saying "who?" when his name was mentioned...

They were built to be raced at wide open
