I like European and Japanese cars best but no doubt when it comes to American old school muscle cars reign supreme in fact even as a kid I loved old school muscle cars just as much as late 90s early 2000s tuner cars. The late 60s early 70s muscle cars are my favorite.
I know this isn’t nascar. But if nascar stayed this course it would’ve been way better to watch. And we’d all have the best cars from the competition it produced.
Yeah as a European I’m not too well versed in Nascar but it does seem like a big shame they went away from real cars in favor of spec-cars with no room for development. Having an equal playing field has its advantages in terms of competition but personally I’d prefer watching manufacturers going crazy and cars having an identity beyond simply the number on it and the driver driving it. And as you said it would make for very cool road cars too, surely.
Great filming Alwin. Roger and Beat also go to the Spa Summer Classic event. This year's was held end of April but sadly both did not get to compete this year due to problems with the cars.
@@colinlane9338 Thank you for the kind words! Yeah I was there in Spa, really excited to film both those cars and was absolutely gutted that they didn't get any further than a few laps. That's racing though. Thankfully this weekend I got to enjoy watching them both despite the weather!
Jets shake the ground more than a Hemi... until you put that Hemi on nitro. Truly the only thing more thunderous than a top fuel launch is a big rocket launch. But those are making literally as much power as the electric grid of a couple states.
I have a modern Mustang, and I’m not normally a classic muscle car guy, but that is the best sounding car I’ve ever heard. It sounds like a P-51 mustang with the Merlin engine when it’s going away.
Yeah the Firebird has a 496 running about 730 horsepower. Coupled with some very wide slicks that thing is rapid. I’m uploading the video of it later today!
people who never been on a track can't imagine how loud these cars are. when they are comming up they are already loud as hell but when they pass you on a straight with high rpm and you can hear the sound straight out the exhaust they litterally shatter your eardrumps while you're covering them.
Yeah you hit the nail on the head. Videos will never do the sound justice but the car managed to rearrange my organs everytime it came past. People who have never experienced this can’t imagine what it’s like and think the sound is rather quiet because their speakers cannot compare to real life 😅
The best sounds from these things (for me anyway) are actually when they're far away. The driver jumps on it and you can hear the sound spread out and echo around every structure on the track...it sounds like the heavens are being torn open so God can look down and say, "that is a badass car."
Would to make a modern rendition of this one with the new generation Challenger T/A. Rollcage, make a sequential gearbox for it, maybe similar engine setup, but around 500, while also being street-legal! Love that car man its awesome AND American!
Yeah I am a massive fan of these big block muscle cars built for the track. Not something you see very often around here. I’ll have a video out on that Firebird tomorrow!
@@xmo552 I don't know how Frank knew but this particular car is fairly well known around Europe and it is a '71. I did a video on it last year and will upload the one from this year's event later today!
@@AlwinSV I just wish we could afford to run 500 cube motors over here, with gas costing the equivalent of $7.20 / US gallon it’s a rare sound indeed. All the clowns here are zipping about in their Tesla’s ‘saving the world’. Pffft!
Beautiful looking classic with some serious modifications. They say "rubbing is racing" but I bet there's no "rubbing" with these! Love seeing the old stuff thanks for sharing.
Yeah the racing in the YTCC is very respectful. The series is more oriented around fun and the love for cars and racing than coming first. They will still race hard and be competitive but not to the point of coming together. Thanks for watching!
I could watch this on a regular basis. So cool to see these old cars out and about. Getting it done. These were the cars I drove when I grew up in the 70s. I remember watching the Trans Am series. The racing was intense and right on the ragged edge. Fun to watch. I bet it took steel nerves to drive them.
I wish I could go back in time to experience 60s and 70s Trans-Am racing. I'm very jealous you got to watch that and drive some of these muscle cars back in the day. Traveling to events that race cars like this Challenger is the best alternative for me :)
@@AlwinSV I still own two of them. I own a 1970 Challenger 340. And a 1970 GTX 440-6 barrel. I bought the Challenger in 1979 and the GTX in 1981. I could never get rid of my cars. I also own an 88 Conquest TSI and a 91 Strealth TT. Last car I bought I bought in 09. An 09 Challenger R/T with the STP package. I just could never give up the cars I bought because I really liked them and I always financed them. And that took years to pay off each one. Always wanted a Viper GTS but never got one. Regret that. I am retired now and won’t go in dept for one. Fixed income leaves so little left after you pay the bills. But everything is covered. So definitely blessed by GOD. 😁
@@randylear8264 Man you are living the dream! Vipers are awesome but who needs one when you've already got an entire fleet of epic muscle cars. Time to enjoy retirement driving the hell out of all of them!
Ahhhhh, YES!!! Reminds me of the Old Pony Car Wars. When Camaro's, Firebird's, T/A Challenger's, AAR Cuda's, and Mustang's Battled Ferociously in the American Trans Am Series of Racing.....Until they tossed a Detuned Corvette into the mix and they dominated the Sport. Trans Am was shortly shut down. All because GM was Crying for Wins!!! Pony Car Wars are for the Pony Cars to Battle !!! Not an Out-Classed Non-Pony Car to Race within that Series. People stopped watching!! Gorgeous Challenger T/A!!!! God Bless!!!
What a fantastic looking and sounding Mopar! Going to restomod my General Lee and I love that sound, hoping to get something similar decibel-wise from a Gen 3 Hemi in mine💪
Wow thats me driving in the morning going to work, then realizing it's Saturday and we don't work on Saturday's. But seriously what are the black eyehole looking things on the roof for ? The car is a true monster. 👍👍👍👍👍🍻
Hermoso Challenger y transam. Se vienen sacando chispas. En un lano a mano. Muy lindos todos esos autos. Gracias x el vídeo. Muy disfrutable. Saludos desde Uruguay 🇺🇾
Love this car, best looking race car on that track good job. My father owned a TA and sold it so he could start his racing career on dirt, he’s kicking himself every day for selling it. It competed in races before he bought the car and had the full roll cage in it. The guy that sold it to him told him never to sell it and he didn’t listen lol. It’s now a few towns over all refurbished and Barrett Jackson has asked the owner to sell it. The guy told Barrett Jackson to f*uc$ off.
Amazing how early 70's American musclecars still look more badass than modern junk. Trans Am and Challenger look menacing.
Charger and Barracuda too.
Don’t forget the GTO

The oldschool body with modern mechanics makes this musclecars extremely aggressive. It's good to see that 😎
@@andraszsuppan5583 You could still have a 440 six pack and 455 HO in these cars and you'd still have a blast. F the new tech.

I wasn't going to watch but I saw your comment and I have to agree with you. WINSTON CUP RULES 😊
Watch trans am TA and TA2 you will probably like that
Sounds as good as it looks. Treatment of the arches around the wheels is subtle and tastefully done, sits perfect. A beauty.
THE JAVELIN AMX Comes like that standard from the factory! No mods needed! Mine is a 71 and getting the TRANSAM Treatment.
Nice 69 likes
572 HEMI,
Just nothing comes close to the mad spectacle and earth shaking rumble and thunder of American V8.
🇺🇸💪👍🏻
Dam right.
HONDA POOOOOOWAA!!!
As a proud Brit., a lover of 3s, 6s and 12s....... I completely agree😊. The sound is very special ❤.

There's no replacement for far too much displacement 👍
Amen
@@AlwinSVDouble Amen 😎👍🇬🇧
There's no such thing as far too much displacement 😅
9.4L wow! the new challenger is like a kitten next to this proud lion.
It’s nice to see an awesome mopar doing its thing! I’ll take this over NASCAR any day!
All day Long.!
💪👏🇺🇸
I'm extremely impressed with the handling. This car has been tuned to be a genuine track weapon.
Absolutely incredible. That sound is my love language.
Same here, in the flesh this sound just tears your body apart, it's surreal.
now thats a beast
I have a modern Mustang, and I’m not normally a classic muscle car guy, but that is the best sounding car I’ve ever heard. It sounds like a P-51 mustang with the Merlin engine when it’s going away.
That challenger is a monster,im a huge Pontiac fan and that trans am is a beast.
Freaking sick! And the Pontiac in front of its not too shabby looking either!?
Yeah the Firebird has a 496 running about 730 horsepower. Coupled with some very wide slicks that thing is rapid. I’m uploading the video of it later today!
Fell in love with the car as a child. First time I saw the movie Vanishing Point. Still my all time fav muscle car.
I cant believe this looks so much better than any new junk
I dunno….the previous charger/challenger do it Justice….
people who never been on a track can't imagine how loud these cars are. when they are comming up they are already loud as hell but when they pass you on a straight with high rpm and you can hear the sound straight out the exhaust they litterally shatter your eardrumps while you're covering them.

That HEMI always sounds 2,000rpm higher from far away. It's an amazing doppler effect.
What a beast... Challengers, Chargers and Hemi Barracudas my most favorite ones^^
I could watch this thing go around the circuit all day and wouldnt care if it wins or not...what a sight and what a sound...perfection.
Amazing car. The 70 challengers are incredible cars, in both looks and performance.
Would to make a modern rendition of this one with the new generation Challenger T/A. Rollcage, make a sequential gearbox for it, maybe similar engine setup, but around 500, while also being street-legal! Love that car man its awesome AND American!
Not all Challengers are meant to go in a straight line. That is one Bad Ass Challenger. That '71 Trans Am wasn't too shabby either.
Yeah I am a massive fan of these big block muscle cars built for the track. Not something you see very often around here. I’ll have a video out on that Firebird tomorrow!
70-73
how do you nail it down to a 71?
please.

@@AlwinSV
Thanks for the reply. I asked because I've been looking for one lately. I started a new job today and hopefully I'll pick one up soon.
That would be awesome man, good luck with the new job!
So I have to go to Europe to see the coolest muscle-car?!
A true piece of power and beauty! You're so lucky to get up close to a machine like this.
The sheer brute violence of the exhaust note is pretty amazing.
572, dang! I didn't even know there was such a thing! I love it! Sounds Amazing!👋🤠👍🙏
Those downshifts are pure evil, but I can’t help but imagine how much fuel a 9.4L capacity engine burns through in a race.
Big blocks, the baddest of the bad. The king of race engines!
Total unit. Cannot believe they're racing such an irreplaceable treasure. Same with that Trans Am!
Those beasts were built for the track, that's just another weekend drive for them!
what a sledge hammer of a car, wish I had a car like this.
That car's as old as me, but much better looking ! 😁👍🇦🇺
Ce son est incroyable ! Merci pour le partage 😎🙏🏻
Merci d’avoir regardé!
Holy f**king hell it sounds incredible! I almost had a crisis listening to it.
Menacing !!! Beautiful!!!! And on the track !!! Soooo freaking badass !!!!
So sick! I see this becoming a lot more popular.
Just awesome to hammer around like that, beauty and beast at the same time !
This is what I want for muscle car race 🔥🔥🔥
And all without breaking 5000 rpm ? Torque heaven.
Yeah I believe these engines go up to 6-6.5k rpm max though with the torque I doubt you need it indeed 😅

The torque alone would be mind blowing 😍
Let`s ROOOAARR !!! What what what A BEAUTY in Lime !!
fast cornering Muscle it's A DREAM COME TRUE!
This Challenger sounds sweet I'm a car guy and it moved
Poetry in motion to be sure!

F#*k me, this thing sounds like it´s powered by thunder! Freakin love it! 😅👌
That sir is one beautiful car.
Seems to have a solid driver as well.
Those vintage cars corner pretty well. Not to shabby.

Very nice indeed. I'll take it and that Trans Am !!!
Such an amazing car, i do wish there was a little more meat on those tires but omg what a build!!!!
Ahhhhh, YES!!! Reminds me of the Old Pony Car Wars. When Camaro's, Firebird's, T/A Challenger's, AAR Cuda's, and Mustang's Battled Ferociously in the American Trans Am Series of Racing.....Until they tossed a Detuned Corvette into the mix and they dominated the Sport.

Yep as always you forgot as most do about the Javelin.
Talk about love at first sight
What a fantastic looking and sounding Mopar! Going to restomod my General Lee and I love that sound, hoping to get something similar decibel-wise from a Gen 3 Hemi in mine💪
Someone needs to make a diecast model of this beast! I love it👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
What a brutal monster of a car🤜
That is a SWEET ride.
I love the retro livery.
Glad he doesn't live nextdoor to me though! 🙉
As a Moparman I think this cool. I love the green. I love the Engine you have for this endeavor. Best wishes my friend!
Sublime was always my favorite of Mopar’s High Impact colors.
@@wjspade That tied with the Hemi I dont think you could of had a better combonation.
The hemi engine just sound so unique. Best sounding v8 in my opinion.
Shoots fire out of the exhaust at times, too!
I miss my 60s 70s car's
Gotta love old Skool
This is Sublime👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾..sorry could not help myself
Wow thats me driving in the morning going to work, then realizing it's Saturday and we don't work on Saturday's. But seriously what are the black eyehole looking things on the roof for ? The car is a true monster. 👍👍👍👍👍🍻
I want to know about the eyelets on the roof too.
That wide body Challenger 🔥🔥🔥
I was there, these 2 cars sounded amazing and were really close the whole race. Looked awesome
Magfuknnificent! Beautiful!
Best looking machine the greatest look and a brilliant sound. I love it.😮😅😊
Un monstre de puissance 😎😎😎😎
It goes pretty good! All round satisfying.
Sounds dirty. love it.
My absolute favorite muscle car!
Glad I found another music channel to subscribe to.
Keep up the great work!
Haha thank you very much!
That's some goodlooking old American Muscles... that firebird looks sick too... love old muscle cars...
Finally a real car !
OG's out brawling with that nasty cackle, heaven.

You just know those pipes STANK
Go you big gassy girl!
Spectacular gorgeous car, great driving. Thanks
That thing looks and sounds awesome!
I love those muscle cars around the seventies, so much better than that plastic of today.
What for a Dreamcar, i need it 😍🤩
That trans am and challenger look malevolent coming down the track
So cool to see a Mopar car set up for the track!!
MONSTRO.
Amé sus rines
Que belleza!!
Forget going back to the V10s, I want to see them put one of these engines into an F1 car.
Imagine how big today's cars would have to be to fit a 9.4L engine 😅
What the hell is this a Monster on the Track, Oh Smack!👹👹👹
These era TA cars are so cool...even a Pinto done up right as a TA is fuckin' cool.....
Yep, classic American car stripped out with a rollcage and a screaming V8 is the recipe for such a raw and cool race car.
Pinto bodies made AWESOME NASCAR modifieds too back in the day. Think Maynard Troyer.The youngsters here don't even know what a Pinto is...a horse???
@@bultacowally
Right!
they're looked cool, but they were too fat to perform in Trans-Am Series.
The LINES on that car.
A friend of mine always referred to the sound of a loud, mental V8 as " Fuckin' Beethoven " !
A engin that is bigger than the amount of beer I can drink in one evening. Impressiv
What a beautiful looking car
Sounds amazing, but that guy can drive!!
God damn, if a 9.4 liter had a sound, this would definitely be it.
I owned two back in the day, a red and a dark green one. ❤❤
