Good lord, this mostly garbage.

First Camaro with cowl induction: Chevy introduced the cowl-induction hood on the 1969 Camaro.

The 1961 Jaguar EType had a 3.8 liter (240 cubic inch) DOHC inline 6 rated at an optimistic 265 horsepower. It could go 150 mph. I raced many American muscle cars with mine. Most wouldn’t go over 115-120. I shifted into 4th gear at 115 and waved goodbye. My buddy’s 1969 Corvette with the 350 hp 350 cubic inch motor was faster in the quarter mile but topped out around 135.

The top horsepower for the factory 327 was 375 horsepower not 275

Your top speed is wrong i had a 72 ford ltd run 140 top end

Sorry you are way off on your speeds on the cars! My 67 Galaxie with 390 2v would do 125mph and then I added a gt390 camshaft a 428 police interceptor intake and 800cfm 4v carb then top speed was 150mph! Do more research or talk to people that actually drove the old cars!

My first car was a 1963 Impala SS with a L75 327 (300 hp). that I got from my father for a steal. It came with a Powerglide but still could get out of its own way and did well during stoplight contests. Wish I still had it. Unfortunately, it got stolen...

First off its "cubic inches" and secondly whoever prepared this video needs to know not to show a "big block"engine and call it a 327 ... Check your facts and learn about a subject before you start making one mistake after another it makes you look stupid especially to people that really know about the subject ...

this dude cant put images together with his script

Lol, just no. Are you bad at math, or what?

Respect Shelby but the lack of acknowledgement for Yenko is absolutely WILD !

73 cuda

As stated by many gear ratios and transmissiom selection make a huge difference on top end. Myself bought a rusted out 1970 thunderbird. It was a posh living room with wheels. 😂 4 of us were on our way to an Ozzy concert on the I-75 bridge going uphill toward Detroit. So I nailed it to see what she had, at 120 she was still pulling like a crazy train and the speedo was almost back at zero, then the front end started to vibrate so I let off the go pedal. So I was at least going 130. It had a 429 thunderjet engine rated at 375 hp so this is not bs.

i'Have a 68 GTX✓ OVERALL MY PIC OF THE LITTER *#1 68 HEMI DODGE DART (NOT A FACTORY PRODUCTION MODEL FOR STREET USE*HURST COMISSIONED) BUT IS THE HOLY GRAIL.

Why do you keep talking about the 327, but showing a 348? Many of your h.p. ratings are off. 😢

What about the Ford XY GTHO 4 door Falcon from Australia? 0 to 100(60) in 6.6sec. Capable of over 140mph. Official HP was 300, but in real life, at least 350. At the time, it was the fastest 4-door production car of the world.

and for #1- the 1965 427 Cobra. Over 1 second quicker than the 396 Corvette.

highway gears solves that

Although it's best known today for its distinctive styling, back in the fall of 1962 Studebaker advertised its Avanti as “The World's Fastest Production Car.” They backed up the claim with 29 new American national stock car records from the Bonneville Salt Flats, including the flying mile at 168.15 mph and 10 miles at

Neil Thompson's Studebaker is another fast Studebaker, with an average speed of 272 mph and a single-direction speed of 290 mph.

First ever factory supercharged Mustang...best sounding

Nice pictures. Where are you getting your 0 to 60 times from? Most are wishful thinking at best! You reported that the 400 cu. in. had a 4 barrel carb. It did not. This was a 2 barrel equipped small block 400 with single exhaust. The same car with a 350, 4 barrel and dual exhaust was a much quicker option. Q Is there a reason to show every full size model and available engines? All of the full size "B" body cars from Bel Air to Caprice where within 100 lbs of one another if they had the same body style and engine/trans combos. Also the absence of body trim on the Bel Air offered no better areo dynamic efficiency over a similarly eq1quipped Caprice. All of them had the same drag coefficient as a house! How's about reporting on the single quickest full size model, the 454, 4 speed Bel Air 2 door sedan? Having grown up during this period I promise you'd be hard pressed ever finding one equipped with this combo. Probably 99% of Bel Airs came with the standard 250 cu. in. staight six with a three on the tree! (that's a 3 speed manual transmission on the steering column for your melinial viewers). You have several more incorrect comments but I will only mention one more. Although very popular there was never a factory cowl induction hood option on a 1970, second generation Camaro! They were all aftermarket. Please, in the future, do your due diligence! Double and triple check your facts. Ask an old "Baby Boomer" car guy to proof your work before posting a video. Years from now kids will watch your videos and believe them to be gospel. Please, for the sake of the kids, check your facts!!!

my favorite camaro was the dark green Z28 RS exactly like the #2 car you showed. I owned 2 other camaros as well. I paid $1800 for my green 70 Z28 in the mid-70s. later had my uncle repaint it in Corvette gray mettalic. my favorite of 15 or so musclecars I owned back in the day.

What? No Soupy bird or Daytona charger? How's about a Horton special? I say that because I can not think of the Ford powered car that the hockey player died in and I mean no disrespect to him or his family. He was a helluva hockey player.

Thumbnail 176mph.... My Kawasaki 1992 ZX11 Ninja was rated at 176mph and I could get it up to 310km... But I don’t remember Any stock Car from the 1960 70s or 80s even coming close to that speed... and most were straight line speed with puckered Asz waiting to Crash after 120mph :)

The Biscayne you show is a 1969 model...

Amazing how much faster cars get as they age.

70 Chevelle LS6 with a 4sp. & stock 2.56 gear(if u didn’t specify what you wanted, that’s what you got) at 6000 rpm in 4th gear would run 180+ mph. The aero information is out there, do the math if you don’t believe me. P.S. They call me FORDMAN!

Cool cars no doubt, but lame list of relatively slow top speed cars. How about 1969 Maserati Ghibli Top speed 165mph 1969 Aston Martin Vantage Top speed 169mph 1968 Ferrari DaytonaTop Speed 173mph 1973 Iso Grifo IR9 Top Speed 173mph 1972 Detomaso Panteria Top Speed 173mph 1968 Lamborghini Miura Top Speed 177mph 1974 Lamborghini Countach Top speed 180mph 1969 Aston Martin Zagato Too Speed 186mph 1976 Ferrari 512BB Top speed 187mph. Porsche & Mercedes amoungst other brand made in this vintage. Get your head out ouf your yankee ass.

Never heard of a

Memories of times gone bye. Us old farfs remember all of these vehicles.

Wow , road runners with extra trim went faster??? corvettes going 176mph, IA needs a reality check...

haha please explain how in 1981 my brothers 69 charger RT 440 4 barrel ,55,000 org miles all stock automatic with 3.23 posi rear except for 60's tires front and back on 15's slotted mag rims and few inches taller than stock tires could bury the 150 mph speedometer on flat open highway ? Obviously the factory rated top speeds were under rated for insurance purposes.I wonder how much faster 440 equipped police cars with the 2.73 gears could hit ? 68 charger RT's had the same hp as 69 ,so about 150 to 155 mph ! Heck my 66 fury 3 a boat with a 69 318 ci la engine i overhauled with a little solid lift cam and headers hit 126 mph , if it was making 50 hp over stock would be only 270 hp ! These cars would blow the doors off it top speed wise.

Where are the GTOS?????

#1 Should be the 1969 Dodge Charger 426 and NOT the Super Stock, the Charger Hit and Held 200 MPH STOCK on Bias Ply Tires "Until they gave Out" at the Chrysler Proving Grounds in Pontiac Michigan in 1969, it was on the Covers of Road and Track, Hot Rod And Car and Driver, That's Why Mr Petty LOVED It Look it Up. @Piston Trends

Well! Looks like Bill Cosby should have given the 1968 Dodge Dart Hemi Super Stock a fair chance for getting to work on time instead of Mr. Shelby, LMAO! Just listen to his album '200 MPH' These muscle engine wars reminds me of an NHL hockey fight of the toughest goons. Anyone of them could win on any given night. There were no guarantees.

First no factory geared stock car is doing 170anything…having 1:1 as top gear

I really wish people like you that don’t know Jack Squat about cars and especially muscle cars from this era would stop posting these made up facts. The sound of your voice tells me you were not born before the year 2000 but you want talk like you’re an authority on these cars that were made over 30 years before you were born. A Hemi Roadrunner would get outrun by a 390 Javelin?? It sounds like where you live that the price and availability of street drugs are very attractive to you and you’re not missing any good deals.

I had a 1967 442. 400 3 speed auto. 2:32 rear diff ? I'm guessing but it was geared for top end speed. Every sunday morning we would all gather at the local mews to discuss previous nights events. A new guy showed up. He had a 396 chevelle. He asked me about the 442 and I told him IMO with enough time it would crack the 150 mph. He laughed and said they never made an olds that could go over 120 mph. He said his Chevelle could do 135. I said you go first , I'll follow you and when your car is wound out lift your hand. When he lifted his hand I passed him no problem and then gave him a taste of 150 plus in the very slippery olds 442. He never came back to the mews and never talked to me again evn though we lived in the same town. I loved that car.

1970 Cadillac, 472 cubes, 375hp@ 2800 rpm, 140 no problem, high rev.chevy big blocks by Ed pink,,went CYA

Sounds like the narrator can read good but doesn't know cars

THIS IS A GREAT VIDEO!!! THANKS FOR SHOWING

Many, perhaps most of these cars came with "Performance" rear axle ratios that helped with acceleration. Those rear axles limit all-out top speed numbers. Many of these cars could reach much higher speeds with rear axles that were designed for that purpose.

Over half of these cars are pony cars, not muscles cars! Muscle care were full sized cars, not Mustangs, Cudas, and such!

Enjoyable but not informative for a serious gear head with a modicum of classic car knowledge. The top speed of these cars is mostly dependent on the rear axle ration and little more. My smog tuned 73 Nova SS with a 350 2bbl rated at 140 hp would do 115-120 but only because of the 2.73 rear axle which was meant for gas milage and low smog.

My 1970 GTO hit 120 easily, probably 140 if I had enough room. How is 120mph even making the list? Car and Driver did an L88 test - with 4.11 gears and it was rpm limited at 154mph (7000ish rpm).

As others have correctly stated.....What a bunch of misinformation. Disappointing to see.

Most of these had Automatics as well, mostly Torqueflights.

So chevy wins😂
