- When it comes to horsepower, there are few substitutes for what American cars have to offer. Due to American cars not being taxed on their engine size, manufacturers can get away with making some pretty big engines. The result is countless vehicles that have become especially well-known for the power and torque that they possess. Powerful classic cars can be found out in the wild, each of which brought something unique to the table in terms of design and performance.
With so many vehicles hailing from the classic era, we've taken the liberty of seeking out the most powerful American cars and exploring not only where this power came from, but also what made the vehicle such a catch back in the day. So, join us as we delve into a range of classic American cars so powerful that not a single one of them offers any less than 400 horsepower.

Umm a zl1 camaro has an all aluminum 427 ci big block. You were combining the L72 copo cars with the zl1.
L72 COPO 9561, ZL1 COPO 9562
AI voice, what do you expect?
You have almost all the facts about the ZL-1 Camaro wrong. And you were clearly showing Barracudas with 440ci engines, not hemis. And most (if not all) of the horsepower ratings were the low-ball claims they made to downplay what they really had. There were several engines in muscle cars putting out 575-600 horsepower.
Bullshit...no engines back then were under rated...they were all over rated using the fake GROSS system with dyno bare engine. After adding muffler, air filter, and belts you have lost 20%. After 1971 ALL cars have to be rated net. 426 is 350 net, 440-6 is 325 net. there were NO muscle cars from that time putting out more than 370 hp.
Honorable Mention: The Ford Pantera at 330 HP! Just a incredible design! 9:24 That idiot almost hit that Ferrari! Thank you, great video!
That blue Corvette was smoking more than I like to see. Beautiful ride, but why so much smoke?
Buick GSX stage 1, Oldsmobile 442 ????
Pontiac RamAir IV or the 455 HO.
@@bunk-bn9eo RA IV on a Firebird 400, only a L78 Nova was faster with a rear seat.
These are all Rated HP numbers. The L88 is the King period by far....
The 68 Hemi dart would roast anything in the 1/4 back in the 60s....including the Shelby Cobra.
@@markdubois4882 The Hemi Dart was a specialized vehicle made 100% for drag racing so your comment is kinda lost
@@bluesky-ud9wg they made more Hemi darts than zl1 Camaros (80 vs 69)
L88, and L89, in my opinion are the best Chevy engines. I've seen the in Corvettes and Chevelle Malibus.
AWESOME to see in person. God bless the 427.
Sincerely,

Funny how times change. My family car has 670 horsepower from the factory. 3.8 ,0-60. , 11.8 quarter mile time.
Awesome ! 😎👍
Thank you! Cheers!
That Dodge Viper Is CRAZZZYY 😮❤
It’s just a dodge
Non of the cuda's in thuis video had a hemi in it lol
This list is very misleading. hare are a few you missed, Ram Air V (475 HP) Pontiac 421 Super Duty (468 HP) Pontiac 428 H.O (425 HP). This does not even include the engines that got into cars that were WAY more powerful than their "official rating". Such as the 1972-73 455 S.D. that Pontiac scammed the EPY with that was in the low 500's. Do better research.
What's the engine that keeps out running all the police cruisers in all those videos? Is it the hellcat? All I remember is it had a super charger.
The 68 Dart with the A-990 drag racing version of the 426 HEMI. Grossly underrated at 425 HP (actual 609 HP). Why this car nails the 1/4 mile in 10.2 seconds at over 130 MPH on skinny tires (D78-14 (195/75R14))
Uh, no
@@bluesky-ud9wg why no?
@@markdubois4882 Are you referring to the L023 car?
@@bluesky-ud9wg yes
@@markdubois4882 Lol, they were HARDLY on pizza cutters.
A muscle car must be the two door, sport roofed version of the four door , formal roofed model. It must be a full size or intermediate chassis. If it is not that then it is something else. A sports car must be a two door, roof optional, inline engine in the front but behind the front axle centerline, manual transmission and rear drive. A gt car is any mix of these on any chassis but comfort is important. Camaro, mustang, challenger , amx and the like are pony cars. Pony cars can also be GT cars.
Is this fact, objectively?
I been meaning to check this out but I never did. Over here its all just "muscle car".
All these horsepower numbers are fake....based on the outlawed GROSS system that was banned after 1971. Gross is a dyno number with muffler, air filter, and belts missing. But put those items back on and you get the NET horsepower which is 18-20% LESS. After 1971 ALL cars have to be rated NET. The 426 was advertised at 425 hp, but is only 350. The 464 was listed at 450 hp but is only 365. NONE of the cars from that time ever put out more than 370 hp. The 2024 Dodge 5.7 beats them all at 375 hp NET.
Actually the 1966 L72 Vette was rated at 450hp in adverts initially...
Extremely rare, but I loved how they advertised the 450hp right on the aircleaner.
That was 450 GROSS. real horsepower was only 365 NET
@@chadhaire1711 still made a 1966 Convert Vette run 12.8.
Why is a viper in a video about classic muscle cars? =
What about FORD GT40
1967-1969 Corvette with the L88.....
WARNING !!! ... This video is hopelessly screwed up and wrong! These young video makers need to run their scripts past an older knowledgeable person before making these totally WRONG videos!
And 2 units Zl1 in 1969.
But he told ZR1 1970 BUT ZR1 was a RPO Option for 1971 that include the LT1 350cui, not 427. RPO ZR2 was a LS6 454cui.
What about 1969 Chevrolet Camaro yenko does it have 600 hp but it's stock i think im wrong
1970 ZR1 had a 370 LT-1 350...no LS-7 was ever installed in a car
what about the 69 Vette ZL1? That car made well over 500hp
Video thinks ZL1 is a car model name for '69 Camaro... LOL!
Thinks ZL1 vehicles had L72 engines... CRAZY!
@@buzzwaldron6195yes crazy, very wrong. Zl1 was the engine. 1969 corvette 2x Zl1 from factory.
wrong..that was only 365 horsepower net...you are using fake gross numbers
@@chadhaire1711 ZL1 was 365hp? 🤣 you're very wrong. This hp performance is L76 small block. ZL1 is a all aluminium engine 427cui.
@@brunosiegenthaler7001 I am very right-----try learning the difference between GROSS horsepower ratings and NET horsepower ratings.....The alloy 427 was not made for more horsepower, it was made for less weight.
Got almost everything wrong about the engine for the #1 car.. engine code L88 not LS7 witch came in a 2008 Corvette.
LS7 actually a 454 Cui which is 7.4 Liter and not 427 Cui or 7.0 Liter. Only one car are ever fitted with that engine from factory. Rest of them are dealer installed. According to Sports Car Graphic, with wide ratio 3.36 final, the car still able to hit 13.8 sec for 1/4 mile. You can imagine how fast it is on close ratio and slick. Probably hit 12 sec or high 11.
They developed the LS7 for the MY71. As far as I know, a car reporter found it too strong during testing and the idea of making an LS7 454cui ultimately became the LS6 for 1971.
ZL-1 Camaro ran low 11's with slicks etc in a Hot Rod mag test
@@mikatamminen2786 they lied
@@chadhaire1711 Nope but cheated yes.
Carroll Shelby admitted in a 1987 interview that he personally did not like the Cobra by design, the original 427 side-oiler engine, the cramped seating, and the engine so close to the firewall. He did not like that it had no hardtop. However, he appreciates the fact that it is successful in car enthusiast culture. Although he likes the Mustang Shelbys he built with Ford, he also helped Dodge with the design of the Viper. The 1970 Cuda is 375 hp hemi engine government was cracking down horsepower 427 = 435 hp copo central office production order 454 = 390 hp I worked in a car Restoration shop again government was holding back the horsepower. I have been in a 454 Camaro with 450hp and 500 ft lbs of torque it had been upgraded slightly
That's why Shelby owned a Daytona coupe, which was a hard top.
In 1999 the Dodge Viper ACR had 460 HP and 500 LB-FT of torque out of the factory.
Yes but that is not considered a classic by the definition used in the video. I do think the Viper is a modern classic.
yes but that is the NET number...by comparison these older cars are over rated using the fake gross system..426 Hemi was only 350 net, and 440-6 was only 325 net....
@chadhaire1711 Actually, the numbers weren't fake. They just were made without a bunch of accessories sucking power from the engine. The net number was as it was installed in a car. If you were to check a channel called Nick's Garage, he tested a bone stock 69 426 Hemi and got well over the factory rating from it. I found it interesting that they plated with the numbers to make it easier to insure.
Correction-454 ZR2 Corvette is 7439cc not 5,7 as you state
OK... at 06:54... one of many many mistakes in this video...
And I think 1970 Corvette had LS6 engine... not LS7 iron 454", which was only available over the parts counter...
All great cars,beautiful,damn sexy,but....they cant make a turn.
GOD BLESS AMERICA ‼️🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅‼️🇺🇸🦅💪💪🦅🇺🇸
Wheres the GT 500 on this list lol, it has 500 ft of torque to the wheels easily the fastest muscle car from the 60s and 70s era.
What about the Viper with 650 horses..?
That is a modern classic, same as the hellcat with 707 horsepower.
That's a modern classic, same as the hellcat 707 horse motor.
The last car in the vid is a LT1 350, not a LS7. This not exist in 1970.
Theres no muscle like American muscle
According to Rust Valley Restorers, every car made in the 60s and early 70s has 450 hp and 500 ft.lbs of torque. Lol. Even if they're just scrap.
WRONG...fake gross numbers..no car back then put out more than 370 net...the Hemi was only 350 net.
Should've specified advertised hp so I didnt have to watch the video.
The 'Cuda is not a barracuda. Barracuda stopped in 69. Learn your facts
Where's the L88 ?
Only rated 430 HP... so he left it out... LOL!
@@buzzwaldron6195 430 gross is only 350 net horsepower....any 2023 Dodge with 5.7 V-8 puts out 375 net and would beat it.
@@chadhaire1711 - The L88's 430 HP rating was just to get it under the street 427's 435 HP rating so kids wouldn't order it... the L88 actually had 560 HP, but the maker of this video doesn't know that...
@@buzzwaldron6195 No engine back then put out 560 horsepower...they were all overrated using the fake gross system that was banned after 1971. This involved removing all exhaust, air filters, and belts then running on a dyno. That is the GROSS number. The NET number is when they put all that back on, in which you have lost 18-20%. Thus the 454 450 hp was only 330 hp, the 426 425 hp Hemi was only 350 horsepower....all the redone numbers were in the factory parts catalog starting in 1972. The 435 rating was only 360 net. No 454 or 427 ever put out 560 gross, or anything near it. That was a sales pitch to sell cars. Even the Baldwin-motion after market street racers with 454 and 427 motors were rated at 500 gross and they had the full mods. There is no way a 560 gross horsepower car would have been drivable on the street back then, Baldwin tried. The 560 hp rating of those 427 and 454 engines is and always has been a myth.
