I'm an old guy so I'll put this in to perspective. When I was 17 I could buy a 1970 440 Barracuda for $1500.00 in 1978. I could put about 2k into it and destroy just about anything around. Kids today can't and that's sad. I've seen better days
Uea but that's is like 12 to 14,000,$ now days, but still much much less expensive!!!

@dundonrl OH, I know exactly what you are saying about modern-day sportcars. They are highly engineered, doing all the things you said about them. Too bad the Woke movement is taking them away from us. We are going to lose this technology if we let them. 🤧
67/68 Cougar - preferably with the A-code 289 - coolest muscle car ever. Not the absolute fastest, but the best-looking muscle car. And with power front discs, it handled pretty well for that era too. Many people want the 390, but for all-around driveability I think the little 289 in HIPO version is a great setup for that car.
A lot of the new car guys just paid a lot of money but can't drive. The old car guys built cars to go fast, so they are probably familiar with how to get the most out of them.
Those older engines weren't made for mileage they were made for Torque the piston has a longer stroke so of course the engine with the most torque is going to win.
That was just disrespectful. Right in the face. No way I’m ever going up against a Nova rolling on slicks with “that sound”. Not until I get one of my own anyways 😆
Just sold mine. Sold for more than I bought my Dark Horse Mustang. Thing had too much engine. A special 427 small block. It heated up way too quick. Gave the funds to my daughter for her Dark Horse.
At least two of the hellcats and one of the chargers was set up for drag racing and one of the hellcats managed one win. The rest lost. They are too heavy.
Back in ‘71, I bought a ‘65 GTO for $800. It had 75,000 miles on it and already needed an engine rebuild, especially for oil leaking past the piston rings. A friend helped me rebuild the engine. Four-speed, 389 c.i. and 4.11 rear. Omg that car was fast! Like someone in a comment before said, how could kids have a fast, inexpensive car nowadays?
You buy a S10 for $800 and then you grab a junkyard 5.3L + 4L80E for around $1200 bucks. Spend another half a grand on springs and a camshaft and another couple hundred on a ford 8.8 and some traction bars. If that isn't enough for you, then you add some spray. It's still possible, but hardly anyone anywhere is any good with their hands, despite there now being an entire internet loaded down with anything and everything you could ever need to know.

Most of these "old school" muscle cars are just retro bodies without a single factory part in the drivetrain and they're running slicks, modified chassis, gutted interior. It doesn't say what you think it says. There are 9 second C8 corvettes that are daily driveable.

I grew up with the muscle cars of the 50s, 60s and 70s and loved them. The big difference is the "Old School" cars here is they are highly modified and not at all reliable for daily driving. The "New School" cars will turn 10-11 quarters off the showroom floor and get you highway mileage close to that of a 60's VW Beetle.
Built over bought, dunno why so many new Dodges though...unless they are supercharged-Heavy..and then there is that "I forgot to take traction control off"..lol. Very nice camera work!
Oh please, how many people actually build their own cars? Which would be buying a POS, gutting it, installing a roll cage, back halving it, building the engine, transmission rearend etc etc etc. 99.999% of the people with "old cars" that are actually fast have them built (and in the long run probably spend more money than if they just bought a new car)!
@@dundonrl I agree with your post i remember working at a scrap/junk yard back in the 60s and 70s and you could actually build a nice street or track rod with just the factory parts that were available there, and this included finding a great body, nowadays most of those parts are almost impossible to find and even if you are lucky enough to find them you are going to pay big $$. I feel blessed that i got to lived and experience those days. Hot rods and Drive in movies with my favorite gal.
Not everyone has a garage, several grand worth of tools, the know-how or resources to build their own. I'm 60 and love old school muscle cars - but I own/drive a modern fast car since I don't have the resources, time or space to build one.
For the most part, the old cars kicked butt and I think much is driver experience and car setup. But that one purple dodge or whatever at 3:20…… wow, sweet whine to start and finished at 136mph wow!
I think that Model A needed some more modifying before it went against the Corvette, still done pretty good considering what it was made of and how fast it originally went at 4:15 originally Ford had a motto back before WWII, nothing's survivable over 45 mph in a collision, so I'd say that's pretty good.
This is at Mission Raceway Park Mission BC Canada. I've ran a few friday night streets up there for fun with my 68 Barracuda...lots of fun, great people.
Grandmas Novas are incredible. Love em, even tho in the 60s and 70s you would have been laughed at. Ive had several, poor mans muscle cars, nothing fast, my best time in my 70 was 11.04.

that first ss, was chef’s kiss.
Wow, beautiful Nova. 😍
Thanks ,good video 😊I would love to see the price tags too
Dom Toretto brought me here
Sounds like 8mile on a Friday, and Saturday night. 😂
I grew up with the muscle cars of the 50s, 60s and 70s and loved them. The big difference is the "Old School" cars here is they are highly modified and not at all reliable for daily driving. The "New School" cars will turn 10-11 quarters off the showroom floor and get you highway mileage close to that of a 60's VW Beetle.
Satisfying video, thank you
Thank you
No school like old school!
Built over bought, dunno why so many new Dodges though...unless they are supercharged-Heavy..and then there is that "I forgot to take traction control off"..lol. Very nice camera work!
Love old school! At 66, I always will. Respect to the new cars but checkwriters don't impress me, builders do.
01:27 You need to learn how to shift gears before you enter a race
That Challenger had an auto trans. I think the issue was tire spin which is way too common with Hellcats.

Too bad awd are not made available for it.
These old classic muscle cars just look so much nicer than the modern ones
I had a '71 Charger SE 500. Just stock. But next to my current '95 Buick Roadmaster it was the nicest driving car I've ever owned.
Anyone can go buy a fast car, it's when you build your own car, is what makes it worth it.
Oh please, how many people actually build their own cars? Which would be buying a POS, gutting it, installing a roll cage, back halving it, building the engine, transmission rearend etc etc etc. 99.999% of the people with "old cars" that are actually fast have them built (and in the long run probably spend more money than if they just bought a new car)!
@@dundonrl I agree with your post i remember working at a scrap/junk yard back in the 60s and 70s and you could actually build a nice street or track rod with just the factory parts that were available there, and this included finding a great body, nowadays most of those parts are almost impossible to find and even if you are lucky enough to find them you are going to pay big $$. I feel blessed that i got to lived and experience those days. Hot rods and Drive in movies with my favorite gal.
Not everyone has a garage, several grand worth of tools, the know-how or resources to build their own. I'm 60 and love old school muscle cars - but I own/drive a modern fast car since I don't have the resources, time or space to build one.
Most of the "new" car drivers have absolutely no idea what they are doing. Classic car racers are pros. Race #3 was a close one. 2:00
in high school my friend had a white nova , we called it the rocket . only one other car put him away . tom's boss mustang . the king went down .
For the most part, the old cars kicked butt and I think much is driver experience and car setup. But that one purple dodge or whatever at 3:20…… wow, sweet whine to start and finished at 136mph wow!
Old school cars 🔥
I never thought I'd see a day when modern car's HP surpassed, and doubled, old vintage hot rods back in the day. I did.
Now them old schools are showing out
I think that Model A needed some more modifying before it went against the Corvette, still done pretty good considering what it was made of and how fast it originally went at 4:15 originally Ford had a motto back before WWII, nothing's survivable over 45 mph in a collision, so I'd say that's pretty good.
This is at Mission Raceway Park Mission BC Canada. I've ran a few friday night streets up there for fun with my 68 Barracuda...lots of fun, great people.
Buddy of mine crammed a 383 big bore into a Dodge Dart , so much engine , so little car. Crazy times running that thing down Union Rd.
I love that old school beats the new!
Gotta love classic muscle cars
wow, very impressive. would take the ss any day of the week
New cars: Top speed
Old cars: Acceleration
Grandmas Novas are incredible. Love em, even tho in the 60s and 70s you would have been laughed at. Ive had several, poor mans muscle cars, nothing fast, my best time in my 70 was 11.04.
That’s nothing to scoff at! If you kept it unassuming, it would raise hell from stop light to stop light as a sleeper.
@dieseldemon8562 it took me a long time to get to 11, it was a great street car, I had various big blocks in it, but ran my best qt with a hot 383 and a power glide.
Nice cars. But another Mod Vs Stock video?
I've been to this Raceway. It's the Mission Raceway in BC Canada. It was really fun.
Прекрасные автомобили, прекрасная культура автомобилей! Вижу, что в комментариях то и дело пишут, что сейчас это не доступно каждому среднему американцу… Ну, пусть ваше правительство продолжает делать то, что оно сейчас делает и вы совсем забудете об этом даже мечтать.
1:05 What a beautiful car! It took my breath away. Is it 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T?
My mom had a Nova as her high school ride back in the day, now I know why the guys were all over her. Plus she was very beautiful. 😂😂😂 Love you mom.
OMG all those muscle cars are so goddamn pretty
That first Nova really launched it
Old School Only
Not getting half these comments.
Purpose built drag cars vs stock modern cars and peeps are saying Old School rules? Lol
These "drag cars" cost half the price or less to build and make just as fast as the new cars. I think that's what people are on about.
That's right what's the issue
40 or so years with all kinds of tech new cars ; pretty much plastic and they whine like winy liberal democrats & still can't win laughable! trying to act like those modern cars just pulled up off the show room 😂 they have been plugged in to lots of computers getting the most they can outta them
