  • I honestly don't know if this is the Worlds Fastest Plymouth Superbird but I can tell you for sure it is the fastest one I have ever seen at the Drag Strip.
    This 1970 Plymouth Superbird has a 521 ci billet aluminum Hemi engine, Lenco CS2 Transmission, 14-71 roots blower, body is made of carbon fiber and fiberglass, weighs 2840 and has had the best 1/4 mile ET time of 6.2 seconds at 230mph.
    Let me know in the comments if you have seen a faster Plymouth Superbird than this one. Thanks for watching!
    Drag Strip Location: Great Lakes Dragaway in Wisconsin.

    Thanks for footage Tom, we have a Superbird here in Europe called Voodoo Hemi. He`s doing 5.82@248mph last year at Santa Pod Raceway in UK.

      @@falcon4548 I took my first car there in '77. 1967 GTO, 4 speed with a 3.90 posi. I had no idea how to race yet, but managed low 13 sec passes which was fast to most or us at 16 years old. Last run of the night I pulled off a 12.80 after some "launch instruction" from a local Chevelle racer that we were hanging with on our first adventure in drag racing.

    Thanks, Tom. These are my favorite type of drag cars.I believe the Superbird was smoking the tires on the top end of the track. Track crew needs to throw down some traction compound.

    It takes a lot more money and experience than 95% of people understand to make a car like this perform at it's best. As a bench mark compare any of these cars to Stevie Fast Jackson's Shadow that recently ran 3.48 at 214 in the 1/8 which is 5.65 in the1/4. That was on those ridiculously small drag radials as well. Hopefully Superbird guy can keep making improvements.

      That's one of the reasons they didn't sell good at the dealerships back in the day but they ruled the NASCAR tracks back then setting numerous speed records until NASCAR banned them for good . Once that happened most of those cars either got scrapped or sold & the others went to the Bonneville salt flats where they set several land speed records that still hold these records today .
