Crazy thing is I drove a PT for the first time yesterday. Was only a 4 cylinder though. I increased his mileage from 36 mpg to over 50. But we did mostly highway driving but I did my usual tactics of coasting to a red light and whatnot.
Yes. If any of the major manufactures took the body off their modern sports car and put the body off one of their classics on it it would sell insanely well.
As a former auto salesman I drove a lot of cars, and one that surprised me the most was the Mini Cooper S. It was surprisingly roomy (at least in the front seats) and it freakin' dipped! Way faster and better handling than I was anticipating. It was fun to drive for sure.
@@theacgkid that's how I feel about my 2011 Volvo S60 T6. Inconspicuous car with a turbocharged 300 hp 3.0l engine and AWD. It's a blast to drive but yeah I still tell people that Minis are actually fun as hell cars.
But think about the reduced environmental impact! The James Bond Sebring discharges a miniature cleanup crew after generating an oil spill. I disagree, however, with some of the safety upgrades. I mean, replacing the machine guns with airsoft?!!
In my twenties I had a Peugeot 205 GTi, the fastest hot hatch on the road. Now I drive a Jeep Wrangler JL, which is basically a small end terrace house on wheels with the aerodynamics of a breeze block wall ... and which does 0-60 nearly a full second faster than the Peugeot!
I worked on a guy's PT cruiser years ago that spent easy 15k-20k on modifications. Interior, audio..bodykit..full fast and furious package. What a waste..I wonder sometimes where it ended up
Yeah i have the new fiesta st and get 36 mpg when i drive carefully and 31 when i drive like a jackass. When i compare this to older 200hp engines, its just amazing.
dangerouslytalented I had a 72 Ford Torino as my first car I packed in thirteen of my friends in there and went cruising! They were hanging off the doors around the corners! Lol
As a Ford guy who didn't live in that era (My era was the 90's and early 2000's), I really got into the classics in a different sort of way. With that said: Instead of the Torino, I'd pick either the Mustang or Thunderbird myself.
"Rolling piles of junk" came immediately to mind for the new ones.For the old ones I could hear him saying..."Man those cars are oooold.Don't expect to use them for a daily driver.For a weekend toy go right ahead." [I think I've been brainwashed.]
One of my favorite all-time cars was my 1998 Chevy Metro 3 cylinder, with a 5 speed manual. If you put too much weight in it, it would get a speed wobble at 40. If I drafted well on the interstate I could get 60 mpg on the highway
Old lady use to bring Geo Metro 3 cylinder 5 speed 2 door hatch to the shop I worked at in 2004. She never wanted to spend a dime on it, had bald tires, cheapest tires I ever priced 12 inch rims. I thought she was going to faint when we told her how much new tires cost flat out rejected the idea of every replacing them. Come one Monday morning she is on the phone before we open in a panic because car broke down don't know how she got it to the shop but I know she didn't pay for a tow. Mechanic replaced broken timing belt car ran terrible, compression gauge showed one dead cylinder. We called her she was there within 15 minutes to pick up the car mad as hell about the bill and the fact that the engine was damaged from interference when the timing belt broke. She drove that two cylinder Geo Metro around town for years usually with a line of traffic behind her.
I drove one that I bought from a dealers back lot. Told me it only ran on 2 cylinders. Said if I had 100 bucks, they'd fill out the paperwork if I'd drive it off their lot. Drove that turd for three years on 2 cylinders. It would only hit 45mph, and it was the shitty 3sp auto, but damn was it fun. I love driving turds.
speaking of tire improvement, it will be interesting to find a good condition 30 years old sports car, fit it with new tire, and do a 0-60 test, and see how it compare to the original time
Chevy had a 69 COPO Camaro at a drag event a couple years ago and I can't remember if it was wearing modern slicks or road tires but it ran 10s. It originally ran 13s.
Drakenfall exactly why drive something that looks the part and get gaped by a shitty compact car that is 20 times more efficient and gets double digit mileage
thedog556 that’s why you support the frame with additional frame work bud haha I can tell you know absolutely nothing about the process so your opinion is as good as my 5 year old sons buddy
I remember when Clarkson did an episode of Top Gear with some classic sports/super cars and then showed them getting trounced in the 1/4 mile by a Honda Accord Euro. haha.
A few years ago we had to break it to my dad that his 1993 Mercedes 500E was slower 0-60 and in the 1/4 mi than a V6 Camry. He thought his 500E was the fastest car on the planet. A small part of him died that day.
I know the feeling. When you find out you paid way too much for "horsepower" only to find out high school kids with minmum wage jobs are out pacing you with bolt on "performance parts" on 4 bangers.... ouch! my feelings...
plus it was a 308gt4 which handled even worse than the 308, im struggling to remember what hillclimb track that was but its in england, if your interested in seeing the entire track and a car doing the whole thing, a hillman imp(all sunbeam imp in US) abeit a heavily modified spaceframed version, search kevin cole 1040 imp, there are two vids but the one you want has thumbnail pic of where the ferrari actually span out. theres a left hander just before it span :)
either he meant oversteer or because it understeered so much the driver might have over corrected it and gave a little too much gas causing a spin out.
@@PilotTed tbh there is little reason atall for that car to spin out there, it should have settled down easily after the left hander before there, possibly inexperienced and came round it way too fast or its almost as tho something went wrong with the car, blow out on other side or something? either way its not a 308 and the 308 handled better than this car, who knows but ive left a search above so you can see how the track leads up to there if anyone curious :)
it didn't really oversteer tho: it did something called a "scandinavian pendulum" without meaning it... it's a technique used in rally to force oversteer and the sliding of the rear tyres using as little breakes as possible, and it involves turning sharply on the opposite direction of the turn, and, as soon as the weight shifts, countersteer. that causes the back of the car to lose traction, sending you in a spin if you don't know what you're doing, but in a controlled drift if you know how to use it... the guy clearly didn't :D
Me too, especially the 1968-1970 muscle cars that were massively overpowered yet running on awful everyday 60s tyres. Also im wondering where donut is getting these 0-60 times, because everywhere i look i find different answers.
You should check out fasdrags, I think they're called. FactoryAppearingStock Drags. I forget there rules on tires, but I think they run radials... also, modern tires would probably overpower chassis/ suspension... might not be pretty.
My wife's little 2019 Trax and her "old" 2015 Equinox (which our sons drive) are surprisingly quick and agile. However, I after 33 years of driving my '88 IROC during spring-through-fall, I will take that over them any day.
You should make another 5 to 10 cars that are faster than 5 to 10 cars muscle cars again. Even the big muscle cars like the chevelles with 454's cars that are actually faster than that that are pretty cheap. This was a good video and I really enjoyed it I'd like to see more.
james carries donut. without james no one would watch donut, i've started watching nolan more, because i like his lower energy, and he has the same amount of passion as james. and zach, because well, hes like a mentor, and honestly money pit taught me a lot about cars
America: uses imperial Butthurt lazy-to-learn drones: Waaaaa call me a waaaambulance!! Seriously though, Im European and live in the EU, I learned both, and I prefer the imperial system cause its more simple for everyday life while the metric is for math. All the information you could ever want is right in front of you, so learn. Knowledge is your friend. Just dont be a hypocrite about it, cause if most of the world used the imperial system and the US used the metric you'd still be here crying and screeching about "why doesnt the US also use the imperial system when most of world uses it and its more simple for daily life".
At least you're not Canadian, we use Feet/Inches AND Metric AND Horsepower AND Kilometers per hour for maximum confusion. It all depends on the situation.
That’s why I love my odyssey so much, unfathomably practical and yet it’ll beat a v6 mustang from the same year in a roll race :D can’t quit get those 5.0s but it’s still a great time racing stuff in it. Plus VTEC go BRRRRRRR :DD
@@1OMEGA111 Yeah, the Mustang II was so shit, I wouldn't even consider it a Mustang. Hell, a bone stock 240Z was only 0.6 seconds slower from 0-60 and that was already a 4 year old car and on its way out when the Mustang II launched
The stock image of the Honda Odessa at 0:21 was edited by me! I work at JD Power and used to work in the stock photo editing department 😊 it’s so cool seeing my work out in the wild ❤ I still have the original file and even have written an automation action that exports the car in every colour it came in that year in USA and Canada. Those colours were then verified by a colourist to make sure it was accurate and then the images were sold to basically every vendor looking for stock images (eg: auto trader). Fun fact; the windows are actually rolled down, and then fake ones put in. It’s to manage the reflections on the glass so you can see inside the drivers window. Let me know if you need a stock image deal, I still work there but these days I do the weekly updates to the “build and price” web app of all the Stellantis owned car brands (eg: dodge, ram, Alfa, jeep, etc)
I remember a crappy American top gear episode where a honda odyssey outran some crown Victoria cop cars. I've driven my mom's and it's a lot faster than my civic.
Can't understand what's so special about an old Mercedes sedan. I'm not trying to be sarcastic, I seriously don't get why people love those cars. It doesn't have a rotary engine, or rear wheel steering, not even AWD and it's engine is not behind the seats. From my perspective it's just a performance sedan kinda like modern day C63 AMG. Is't C63 AMG even more boring than the likes of Ford Explorer or Honda Odissey?
@@ldmtag have you even driven a good mercedes of that era? air ride and zero offset suspension that just soaks up abuse, they give you absolute confidence and the level of qaulity and design you experience only drives that notion home. They set and kept the standard for luxury performance sedans for good reason 🤦♂️ they envisioned generations of vehicles to both carry and represent their brand decades before they were even developed and pushed the boundaries of the automotive industry with over engineered (and underappreciated) systems that sometimes worked quite well. Not to mention their independent suspenion and other patents were so good that toyota copied and tweaked them for lexus, certain transmisions etc. I'd take a c63 amg over a soccer moms/pig mobile any day
@@Bartonovich52 Idling a diesel uses around a gallon on fuel per hour (from 0.6 to 1.4 depending on size and technology). That's actually really efficient considering the size of a trucks engine and it almost always has its climate control on and it has to power all of the cabins electronic equipment.
@@Bartonovich52 The 15% actually comes from thermodynamics and has nothing to do with idling. Most of the stored energy in gasoline is lost to heat, friction, sound, and exhaust; only about 15% is converted into mechanical energy at the crankshaft. Diesel has a higher energy density and a much higher efficiency, closer to 30% iirc. This was from a class I took about 15 years ago, so engines may have become efficient; but diesel still has an edge.

I was driving up a steep hill (at 75 mph ) in a 2002 ford explorer 4.0 v6 and a Toyota rav 4 flew past me I was kind of irritated. But if you are above 70 mph it won't drop into a passing gear. Even if it did pretty sure the toyota still would've pulled away. But I was also rolling 8 deep in a 7 passenger vehicle. But yeah that toyota went up that hill much easier than I could.
Dropping gears might be what the cube did. Probably was driving in manual and dropped back to 5th. That's the only way I drive unless I'm eating and driving then I'll use automatic. I do the opposite on steep hills. I slow down then wait until I get to the apex to speed back up when I have gravity on my side. I'm all about maximizing my MPG.
I’m glad he mentioned bias ply tires. I was going to say, these numbers are off by as much as 0.5 seconds for the muscle cars due to tire differences. Not to mention how often manufacturers downplayed performance of cars back then for insurance reasons
@@TheBriGuy129 I love my 99 Miata. It feels fast which is all that matters, cause I'd def kill myself (or lose my license) if I had something that was actually fast..
The biggest limiter of 1960s musclecar acceleration is and always was tires. They often came stock with narrow bias ply tires. Even a set of modern all season tires drastically improve getting them off the line; let alone filling the wheelwell with a wide drag radial.
Comparing new cars 0-60 times to real performance cars is like comparing a bbq grill to a microwave. It may cool faster, but nobody wished for a microwaved burger 🍔

You can have fast or reliable. But really, cars came a long way in the last 40 or 50 years. Any new turbo-diesel with similar capacity can do circles around any 1.9TDI, without leaving the signature black plume of smoke behind.
@@MaxHalatTV she wisely chose the 1.9d, had she went with the turbodiesel, and it probably had spilled it's guts by now. New 1.9dci can last, but they need good maintenance, good oil new rod caps every 100000km....

Racing is where vehicles get their advancements, fuel injection, suspension, rolling gear transmissions, active aero and the materials. We use the same technology for better fuel consumption so basically we are driving cars with racing technology for mpg and reliability with some cheap parts to cut costs.

My 2000 Ram 1500 with a 360 5.9L Magnum is a great engine. I do love it and the sound it produces with or without a muffler. However I had a guy with a 2015 Chevy Silverado Extended cab race me from a light. Now this old man actually thought I had a chance because I had a V8. Didn't matter to him I was hauling about 900lbs of tools. I have an 8 Cyclinder!!! His empty, V6 powered truck with a 6 speed modern transmission doesn't seem to matter to him. Now consider this man is also a used car dealer. I know more about cars and especially trucks than a used car dealer. He won of course. I tried to explain WHY. He boiled it down to him driving a CHEVY and me driving a craptastic Dodge. Even after the explanation. Cause Dodge ONLY makes crap in his opinion. Oh a scion XB is faster than a Crown Victoria with the renowned Interceptor V8. That is how far technology in cars has come.
A buddy of mine used to have a 3 cylinder Geo Metro that I always called "The try-squirrel". Admittedly it lasted him a lot longer and took more abuse than I ever thought it could.
We had a beautiful '72 Malibu when I was in high school (in the '90s). Great looking car, nice big engine, but trying to STEER and/or STOP that thing was bloody terrifying.
Love this video! Automotive technology has come a long way in performance, efficiency and safety. I've had a few fun older cars in my life, (AP1 S2000, Fiesta ST, Mazdaspeed6, MK1 Scirocco, Corrado G60), but my hybrid Wrangler would destroy all of them in a drag race. On a curvy back road I'd prefer any of my older cars but day-to-day use my Wrangler is fantastic.

Drove that turd for three years on 2 cylinders. It would only hit 45mph, and it was the shitty 3sp auto, but damn was it fun. I love driving turds.
I loved my Pontiac Firefly. It was in my family for 15 years. ❤
speaking of tire improvement,
it will be interesting to find a good condition 30 years old sports car,
fit it with new tire, and do a 0-60 test, and see how it compare to the original time
Chevy had a 69 COPO Camaro at a drag event a couple years ago and I can't remember if it was wearing modern slicks or road tires but it ran 10s. It originally ran 13s.
That's a recipe for a hit viral video!
yeah. hope someone do a test video. will be interesting

A few years ago we had to break it to my dad that his 1993 Mercedes 500E was slower 0-60 and in the 1/4 mi than a V6 Camry. He thought his 500E was the fastest car on the planet. A small part of him died that day.

"The 308 was prone to understeer"
Proceeds to show oversteering 308
plus it was a 308gt4 which handled even worse than the 308, im struggling to remember what hillclimb track that was but its in england, if your interested in seeing the entire track and a car doing the whole thing, a hillman imp(all sunbeam imp in US) abeit a heavily modified spaceframed version, search kevin cole 1040 imp, there are two vids but the one you want has thumbnail pic of where the ferrari actually span out. theres a left hander just before it span :)
Actually that’s a Mondial
either he meant oversteer or because it understeered so much the driver might have over corrected it and gave a little too much gas causing a spin out.
@@PilotTed tbh there is little reason atall for that car to spin out there, it should have settled down easily after the left hander before there, possibly inexperienced and came round it way too fast or its almost as tho something went wrong with the car, blow out on other side or something? either way its not a 308 and the 308 handled better than this car, who knows but ive left a search above so you can see how the track leads up to there if anyone curious :)
it didn't really oversteer tho: it did something called a "scandinavian pendulum" without meaning it... it's a technique used in rally to force oversteer and the sliding of the rear tyres using as little breakes as possible, and it involves turning sharply on the opposite direction of the turn, and, as soon as the weight shifts, countersteer. that causes the back of the car to lose traction, sending you in a spin if you don't know what you're doing, but in a controlled drift if you know how to use it... the guy clearly didn't :D
I'm curious how some of these cars would handle with modern tyres, how much faster their 0-100 times are.
sub 2 seconds obviously since they have less emissions standards
Me too, especially the 1968-1970 muscle cars that were massively overpowered yet running on awful everyday 60s tyres.
Also im wondering where donut is getting these 0-60 times, because everywhere i look i find different answers.

You should check out fasdrags, I think they're called. FactoryAppearingStock Drags. I forget there rules on tires, but I think they run radials... also, modern tires would probably overpower chassis/ suspension... might not be pretty.

The stock image of the Honda Odessa at 0:21 was edited by me! I work at JD Power and used to work in the stock photo editing department 😊 it’s so cool seeing my work out in the wild ❤ I still have the original file and even have written an automation action that exports the car in every colour it came in that year in USA and Canada. Those colours were then verified by a colourist to make sure it was accurate and then the images were sold to basically every vendor looking for stock images (eg: auto trader). Fun fact; the windows are actually rolled down, and then fake ones put in. It’s to manage the reflections on the glass so you can see inside the drivers window.

Can't understand what's so special about an old Mercedes sedan. I'm not trying to be sarcastic, I seriously don't get why people love those cars. It doesn't have a rotary engine, or rear wheel steering, not even AWD and it's engine is not behind the seats. From my perspective it's just a performance sedan kinda like modern day C63 AMG. Is't C63 AMG even more boring than the likes of Ford Explorer or Honda Odissey?
Absolutely!! It's such an iconic car with that EVO trim!!
@@ldmtag have you even driven a good mercedes of that era? air ride and zero offset suspension that just soaks up abuse, they give you absolute confidence and the level of qaulity and design you experience only drives that notion home. They set and kept the standard for luxury performance sedans for good reason 🤦♂️ they envisioned generations of vehicles to both carry and represent their brand decades before they were even developed and pushed the boundaries of the automotive industry with over engineered (and underappreciated) systems that sometimes worked quite well. Not to mention their independent suspenion and other patents were so good that toyota copied and tweaked them for lexus, certain transmisions etc. I'd take a c63 amg over a soccer moms/pig mobile any day
"Only 15% of your fuel is turned to mechanical power"
*laughs in diesel*
You mean 10%?
Because just about every goddamn diesel idles for hours and hours. Remember.. idling was included in those losses.
@@Bartonovich52 Idling a diesel uses around a gallon on fuel per hour (from 0.6 to 1.4 depending on size and technology). That's actually really efficient considering the size of a trucks engine and it almost always has its climate control on and it has to power all of the cabins electronic equipment.
@@Bartonovich52 The 15% actually comes from thermodynamics and has nothing to do with idling. Most of the stored energy in gasoline is lost to heat, friction, sound, and exhaust; only about 15% is converted into mechanical energy at the crankshaft. Diesel has a higher energy density and a much higher efficiency, closer to 30% iirc. This was from a class I took about 15 years ago, so engines may have become efficient; but diesel still has an edge.

What were you driving?
@@lachdanan5637 A vw Golf...I wasn't racing or anything, but I was impressed the Cube could do it
Shit that might of been me lol
I was driving up a steep hill (at 75 mph ) in a 2002 ford explorer 4.0 v6 and a Toyota rav 4 flew past me I was kind of irritated. But if you are above 70 mph it won't drop into a passing gear. Even if it did pretty sure the toyota still would've pulled away. But I was also rolling 8 deep in a 7 passenger vehicle. But yeah that toyota went up that hill much easier than I could.
Dropping gears might be what the cube did. Probably was driving in manual and dropped back to 5th. That's the only way I drive unless I'm eating and driving then I'll use automatic. I do the opposite on steep hills. I slow down then wait until I get to the apex to speed back up when I have gravity on my side. I'm all about maximizing my MPG.

The biggest limiter of 1960s musclecar acceleration is and always was tires. They often came stock with narrow bias ply tires. Even a set of modern all season tires drastically improve getting them off the line; let alone filling the wheelwell with a wide drag radial.
