      The Pontiac in the video was equipped with the RAM AIR IV engine, which was the top of the food chain for Pontiac engines in 1969 that was publicly orderable. Whether or not it had The Judge option is sort of irrelevant at this point. A Judge can come with a RAM AIR III or a RAM AIR IV, same as the GTO in the video; at that point having "The Judge" is more of a sticker option than anything else

      The 455 was not available with the RA IV heads or cam. So If it was meeting the factory stock rules, the '70 GTO with the available 455 would not usually perform better than the RA IV 400 with it's much better flowing heads and hotter cam (partially because the '70 GTO 455 HO, even with it's 10.75:1 compression, did not have the round port heads or slightly hotter cam of the later '71 and '72 455 HO)

      @@mikebour454 It's not quite that simple. Most of the RA V "stuff" was sold by the piece, very few whole engines were sold, and most of those went to selected builders/racers. So if you just went the route of building one, the RA V heads had huge, very ford-like ports and required a far more rev friendly rotating assembly as well as significant camshaft and oiling changes/improvements. The 3.25 mains, nodular iron crank, and standard cast rods of the 455 would also be a problem at the higher rev range associated with the RAV valve train. In addition, all of these mods would not be allowed by the rules associated with this type of drag racing, especially since the factory never "installed" RAV (officially) in any Poncho chassis. By the way the RA V forged connecting rods were insanely heavy, and were nowhere near as strong as the early 421 SD or later 455 SD rods. There is a company making reproduction RA V heads in aluminum now too.

    That looks a lot like a GTO built to the letter of the rules vs. a showroom stock Scat Pack. HP calculator says a full weight GTO would need 411 horsepower, at the wheels, to go a 12.2. Never mind that's a manual transmission car.

    Love the old school Muscle. Both cars are awesome, but pretty different. The Charger is basically a four door, small family cruiser that runs mid 12s out the door stock, and is a fine daily driver. The other is a classic, two door muscle car purpose built for what we just witnessed...and worthy of car shows to boot. Both fine cars, both fast cars. We all should appreciate all American V8's pushrods - They are all being phased out for the electric car revolution.

    This time you didn't give the temperature at the drag Strip. I'm Curious. With all newer "summer tires", cool or cold temperatures mean poor traction, where as the tires (tyres) on the Pontiac will perform better in cooler temperatures as well in warmer temps. I know. My 2004 Z06 Corvette (that i bought new) ain't happy, traction wise, in cool temperatures. "Hot and Dry", watch out! Good race

      @@davidbattaglia2336 I’m sure that’s mostly true. Equally true is the fact that we’ve reached or nearly reached the point where one could replace the driver’s input with AI entirely and beat every human driver. But who cares? Everybody loves the purely mechanical car entirely driven by the driver which he can also work on under the shade tree without a laboratory.
      If a car company could somehow legally re-tool to sell a slightly improved version of the 70 GTO or similar cars (mostly just use better materials and streamlined manufacturing techniques) it would probably out-sell the modern Charger. Regulations, insurance costs, and other things inflicted on the American people right after the GTO came out, what a tragedy…

      @@cmbaileytstc The issue is that the laws have changed. Air bags, safety cages, etc add lots of weight to the car. Emission standards and gas prices mean that car companies need to take fuel efficiency into account. And, despite all that, the car companies are coming out with cars with 400+ net horsepower. This race was close due to weight and rear gear ratios (and it look like the Dodge spun em at the start).
      Now - the fun bits - Ford just announced that they are selling the Mustang Mach E engines (crate) so that people can do conversions and the news article showed a 1978 Ford Pick up Truck concept car. There will be a cottage industry for converting old cars (with style in the body style) to electric cars. Will that mean the death of the ICE? Yes, that is inevitable, BUT you can have all the coolness factor of an old school car.

That’s the sort of shit I’m committed to resisting. Same with safety. Mandating belts (wear them or don’t, your option or at least it should be) and roll safety is alright, mandating airbags and ABS has driven up costs, complexity, and kept a few cool cars out of America. We are all headed for a grave anyway and I’ve watched people age into shells and die in nursing homes, I won’t complain if I go by car accident.

And that Car NEVER saw the Taillights of ANY Small Block Chevy. Even took out a 396 Chevelle 3 times in a row, i remember that cause i flagged all 3 races years ago.

    The modern Charger is a very heavy car so this race doesn't surprise me at all. Modern Muscle IS much faster than the older generation cars. Look at the 1/4 mile and 0-60 times from the 60's and 70's and compare them to today. Also understand that todays modern engines are getting these crazy horsepower numbers and complying with modern emissions requirements. The engines from the 60's and 70's wouldn't have nearly the power if they had the emission controls we have on the modern engines. We actually have Toyota Camrys today with similar 0-60 times of some the older muscle cars.
