These cars are actually more like the old IROC series and SCCA Pro TransAm series cars of the 60’s, 70’s and early 80’s. It’s what NASCAR wishes it could have been. No restrictions, balls out engines, suspension and brake mods! Beautiful rolling iron!
Nascar needs to get to a "if you can pass tech" you're in model & as much as Ray Evernham tries to revive IROC there's just too much going on today it seems to get fans back 😕 These cars are Amazing!!!
@@cjbecker1683 one of the many tech issues that nascar has itself created is the ‘template’ system. Having read many accounts of how the original cars were modified for high speed tracks v. short ovals NASCAR itself has created the problems that fans are getting angry about. There’s no rewards for innovation or trying to find a better way. Bumper to bumper 200 mph runs might look great for TV but destroying 5-15 cars at once doesn’t make for a great race. NASCAR spends more money and time controlling car designers than most racing series out there, except maybe F1. Many of us witnessed what could be achieved by NASCAR based vehicle at LeMans when the Hendricks Garage 56 Camaro was able to destroy most of the GT3 cars. And they had to do it with real doors, working headlights and brake lights as well as wipers and the ability to run in the rain. NASCAR plays to the TV networks, not the fans. What a shame the direction they’ve gone in. I’m not a huge NASCAR fan, I love sports car racing and older series like IROC, and TransAm. But I was in awe of that LeMans Camaro! Shows what North American racing design can really do if allowed to work with few restrictions.
@@nashidaperv2351 Ray Everham is a designer genius. He was probably one of the last innovators in NASCAR, which meant twisting the rules. Which of course gets pretty old. Dan Gurney, one of the greatest race car designers stopped entering nascar races primarily for this reason. Unfortunately, you’re right. There’s many racing series vying for fans money (ticket sales) and introducing another one albeit an incredible series, would just thin out consumer spending dollars. I recently worked at a TransAm race here in Canada at my home track (MOSPORT) and the cars were amazing. But attendance was not as good as it was hoped. Many younger people don’t know much about TransAm, or IROC so getting them out for a race can be difficult.
Try the factory Porsche 911 RSR at Monza video. Turn it up, a unique sound...my favorite. I loved it so much i bought one; a 981 Cayman GTS; flat six no turbo, redlines 8000 rpm. The RSR is 9000 at least.
Awesome heel/toe by the driver, couldn't take my eyes off it, nice touch with the dash nameplate, car is badass. I own 2 Challenger's, not built like that though.
Skin and Bones with a Big Block of "Hold On!" What is there not too love? You do not pull up to a gas station to fill her up! Suckey Pooh pooh Octane too low..make Big Block puke!
Two of my favorites. 70 White Challenger and I own one since 1979. Mine is not this modified by a mile. And elf. I always pulled for Jackie Stewart in the Martra Elf through out the 70s. Awesome driving in an awesome car.
This channel is nuts, I grew up in the 60s/70s, had a 69 Chevelle with a transplanted 396, and a 72 Barracuda with a 383 Interceptor transplant, it is like I entered some Time Warp here lol. I wish I still had that 72^^
I am 77 now and I never heard a 383 called an interceptor. My first trip to the dragstrip was in 1965. Been going ever since. I doubt there is a muscle that I have not driven or rode in and that is a new one on me.
@@scrambler69-xk3kv 383's were called Interceptors when I was 18, it was the engine designation put in Cop Cars back in the day, I was hearing that moniker way back then, perhaps it was a local phrase, but the name has been around for over 40 years, and I am 62. I do not know what made them different if at all, but the name was thrown around in my Rural New York State neck of the woods, and they were not "all" called that.

This is a prime example of why the PONY CAR segment was made for. It bothers me when mouth breathers call these cars " muscle cars " .....they are America's idea of a sport/performance car. These are very fun to watch race.
I agree with you on using the correct terminology, although we have to consider the broader assignment of the word "Muscle Car" to every American-made vehicle built during the entire period of the 70s.
Actually the Challenger is a continuation of the challenger line that started in 1959 with the Dodge Silver Challenger club sedan which is the 2 door variant of the Dodge Coronet and it could be bought with the "Red Ram v8" a 326 considered to be quite powerful at the time. These are all directly related to Dodge Matador. So yes... it is a muscle car, and as a guy born in the 60's ... sure sounds like whining to those of us that know about cars. Mouth breathers... really?? Why insult someone when you have no clue?
Hey wow thanks a lot for the positive remarks! Happy to hear you enjoyed it, I suggest you go have a look at this Corvette Transam video I posted on my racing channel: ua-cam.com/video/oRtL46pTz3Q/v-deo.html
muscle car bodies on nascars, very interesting, I was lucky enough to grow up watching my father drag race and eventually seeing him run 5's with his pro mod that he is selling now, obviously he went hardcore with it, I always wanted to do something similar to this or road racing instead of drag racing, I have to look into this and see if its something I could afford to do with it still being fun, thanks for the post and best wishes to you!
Thanks for your great comment, I think I speak for most people here in saying that racing a car like this, or anything at the drags for that matter, would be an absolute bucket list item. Lock in, focus and go get that dough 💰!
Awesome driving man! What NASCAR needs to return to stock car or homologation racing where manufacturers design the cars and remove these generic cars that we see today. Win on Sunday and sell on Monday
The race circuit is Hampton Downs, between Auckland and Hamilton in the North Island of New Zealand. A tight little circuit, about 3.8 kilometres long (just under 2.4 miles). Nice piece of driving by Nick Ross, but on a circuit so tight it's hard to really open it up.
Not too sure actually, usually there's a DNF almost at every race or round of the championship. These cars are hard to swing around and there's contact sometimes
Very cool vintage cars. It would be great to get another 70 AMC Javelin and build it to race like this. Paint it to look like Mark Donohue raced. Don't know that I'd want an AMC engine, probably a dodge from an ex Cup car.
@@musclecars.universe if you can see my photo/avatar here you can see my Mark Donohue 390 4 speed Javelin that I had about 40 years ago. They make nice racecars. The White Challenger I'd love to have with a 426 hemi 4 speed but then too valuable to hack up into a racecar if it was an original. I bet that Challenger is a blast to drive.
It's called Central Muscle Cars and it's our very own premium vintage old school racing series here in New Zealand. Very similar to what the Aussies are doing with Touring Car Masters

Nicely done video & a wonderful beast of a car! NASCAR engined '70 Challenger, & Kowalski forever, ahaha. She looks big out there & backs it up. Nice driving..consistent progress/patience = overtakes :) What is the curb weight? All steel bod & 3,500? Thnx 🏁
Not sure about weight. It's definitely been made lighter from stock, it must have shed a few hundred pounds here and there. It's a racecar after all. But yeah all steel body panels, as far as the other cars are too
@@musclecars.universe Yaa, im sure it is lighter than the Winston Cup stock cars of olde..thise things were well over 4,000lbs..massive amounts of roll bar installed all over..those things could drive through a bank, lol. if this crazy Chally is lighter than stock (idk hm that engine weighs..deffo less than an OG big block) it's low-mid 3,000lb range. thnx for the note
I'm partial to the 69 camaro, however I wouldn't turn down seat time in any one of them, they all look sweet, whats his lap time in comparison to the others or the leader, great video, thanks for the ride along.
good to see something different racing,, i spent 10 years watching fx to ht holdens and valiants, 10 years of hq holdens and mustangs, and 30 years of stinkin 4 door falcon and commodores... that car is too big for a 340 or 360,,
Haha so true, funny you said that! I had the same thing happen to me with a Peugeot ad not long ago. Somewhere in the world a marketing manager is getting fired for wrongful targeting and ad spending haha.
sounds like the one i drive on gran turismo😂 is this the 4 grabber or a sequential gearbox? would really love to know what transmission work you’ve done!
After my aunt and uncle got divorced I came very close to getting his ‘70 ‘Cuda big-block, dual quads and a pistol grip four-speed. My dad drove it some then let me try it ( I’m like 14yrs old with minimal experience ) I didn’t see a shift pattern and I guess I tried starting off in 2nd, and killed it, battery was dead😫…ended up getting a ‘69 Jeepster Commando he had instead.
Just wondering do you have to have the number on the windshield and the wiper in the windshield? Seems distracting to me. But of course the driver did great. I sure as heck can't drive like him. No disrespect just wondering
I've seen all other other cars from this same series having the same so I'd have to assume yes. I have no idea though. Have a look at Central Muscle Cars NZ, maybe you can find some info about scrutineering and stuff
You mean New Zealand? Yes of course, you should perhaps have a look at the thousands of American Classics we have here and the colossal events we do in summer
there's a million and 1 car that are faster and quicker than these old school Muscle Cars and you know what? Sometimes speed and lap times is not everything...actually just half of the experience!

My dad drove it some then let me try it ( I’m like 14yrs old with minimal experience ) I didn’t see a shift pattern and I guess I tried starting off in 2nd, and killed it, battery was dead😫…ended up getting a ‘69 Jeepster Commando he had instead.
Kowalski!
👌🤤
This should have an X rating!
Just wondering do you have to have the number on the windshield and the wiper in the windshield? Seems distracting to me. But of course the driver did great. I sure as heck can't drive like him. No disrespect just wondering
I've seen all other other cars from this same series having the same so I'd have to assume yes. I have no idea though.
Have a look at Central Muscle Cars NZ, maybe you can find some info about scrutineering and stuff
Freem should cough up some new fingers on his gloves - did he and the Camero come together on that pass?
Remember Bob glenden of prostock fame he ran Ford's for years but made a Plymouth arrow with a 340 beat the Ford's and Chevy's.
They have Dodge Challengers in Australia? 😮
You mean New Zealand? Yes of course, you should perhaps have a look at the thousands of American Classics we have here and the colossal events we do in summer

Can you imagine man-handling that car in the 1000?
This car actually went to Bathurst already, that's why I put it in the video title
Is that Dick Johnson’s old Tru-Blu & Greens-Tuf Palmer Tube Mills Touring Car ?
Top video footage💪can anyone tell me the intro instrumental that was played at the start of this video?
Which one ?
What's the button on the wheel for?
Right.. can I bring out the wrx
there's a million and 1 car that are faster and quicker than these old school Muscle Cars and you know what? Sometimes speed and lap times is not everything...actually just half of the experience!
Amen ❤😂
Is that in Australia or new Zealand? Go the mopar👍
New Zealand, in this video specifically Hampton Downs Motorsport Park
Track is way too small for this car to really shine.. Bathurst Australia would be the pic… It could really rip! Sounds neat though….
@@musclecars.universe The advertising is a give away... Pak n Save, Horotiu. Pretty sure they're only in NZ. Nice to see a Torana in the line-up too.
