This car is amazing! Are you the owner / driver? If not, does the owner / driver have any social media accounts where we can see more of this beast? Learn about the build etc…?
I like European and Japanese cars best but no doubt when it comes to American old school muscle cars reign supreme in fact even as a kid I loved old school muscle cars just as much as late 90s early 2000s tuner cars. The late 60s early 70s muscle cars are my favorite.
I know this isn’t nascar. But if nascar stayed this course it would’ve been way better to watch. And we’d all have the best cars from the competition it produced.
Yeah as a European I’m not too well versed in Nascar but it does seem like a big shame they went away from real cars in favor of spec-cars with no room for development. Having an equal playing field has its advantages in terms of competition but personally I’d prefer watching manufacturers going crazy and cars having an identity beyond simply the number on it and the driver driving it. And as you said it would make for very cool road cars too, surely.
Great filming Alwin. Roger and Beat also go to the Spa Summer Classic event. This year's was held end of April but sadly both did not get to compete this year due to problems with the cars.
@@colinlane9338 Thank you for the kind words! Yeah I was there in Spa, really excited to film both those cars and was absolutely gutted that they didn't get any further than a few laps. That's racing though. Thankfully this weekend I got to enjoy watching them both despite the weather!
Jets shake the ground more than a Hemi... until you put that Hemi on nitro. Truly the only thing more thunderous than a top fuel launch is a big rocket launch. But those are making literally as much power as the electric grid of a couple states.
@fuselpeter5393 No. I'm saying that you can see it rips the corners, which is a very long way from the stock one. It must have taken a lot of good work.
I have a modern Mustang, and I’m not normally a classic muscle car guy, but that is the best sounding car I’ve ever heard. It sounds like a P-51 mustang with the Merlin engine when it’s going away.
Well, If you got a 351 or smaller, and do away with some smog stuff. It can sound like it. A cheap way, is have your Muffler shop cut in a bypass gate you can open and close, and some side pipes(Or not). Back in the day had a Jeep CJ5 with a 304 V8. Ordered a side pipe kit and bullet mufflers. Had so much fun, drove the neighbors crazy, till I started loosing my Hearing.. Bought regular mufflers
Yeah the Firebird has a 496 running about 730 horsepower. Coupled with some very wide slicks that thing is rapid. I’m uploading the video of it later today!
Beautiful looking classic with some serious modifications. They say "rubbing is racing" but I bet there's no "rubbing" with these! Love seeing the old stuff thanks for sharing.
Yeah the racing in the YTCC is very respectful. The series is more oriented around fun and the love for cars and racing than coming first. They will still race hard and be competitive but not to the point of coming together. Thanks for watching!
people who never been on a track can't imagine how loud these cars are. when they are comming up they are already loud as hell but when they pass you on a straight with high rpm and you can hear the sound straight out the exhaust they litterally shatter your eardrumps while you're covering them.
Yeah you hit the nail on the head. Videos will never do the sound justice but the car managed to rearrange my organs everytime it came past. People who have never experienced this can’t imagine what it’s like and think the sound is rather quiet because their speakers cannot compare to real life 😅
I could watch this on a regular basis. So cool to see these old cars out and about. Getting it done. These were the cars I drove when I grew up in the 70s. I remember watching the Trans Am series. The racing was intense and right on the ragged edge. Fun to watch. I bet it took steel nerves to drive them.
I wish I could go back in time to experience 60s and 70s Trans-Am racing. I'm very jealous you got to watch that and drive some of these muscle cars back in the day. Traveling to events that race cars like this Challenger is the best alternative for me :)
@@AlwinSV I still own two of them. I own a 1970 Challenger 340. And a 1970 GTX 440-6 barrel. I bought the Challenger in 1979 and the GTX in 1981. I could never get rid of my cars. I also own an 88 Conquest TSI and a 91 Strealth TT. Last car I bought I bought in 09. An 09 Challenger R/T with the STP package. I just could never give up the cars I bought because I really liked them and I always financed them. And that took years to pay off each one. Always wanted a Viper GTS but never got one. Regret that. I am retired now and won’t go in dept for one. Fixed income leaves so little left after you pay the bills. But everything is covered. So definitely blessed by GOD. 😁
@@randylear8264 Man you are living the dream! Vipers are awesome but who needs one when you've already got an entire fleet of epic muscle cars. Time to enjoy retirement driving the hell out of all of them!
Yeah I am a massive fan of these big block muscle cars built for the track. Not something you see very often around here. I’ll have a video out on that Firebird tomorrow!
@@xmo552 I don't know how Frank knew but this particular car is fairly well known around Europe and it is a '71. I did a video on it last year and will upload the one from this year's event later today!
Ahhhhh, YES!!! Reminds me of the Old Pony Car Wars. When Camaro's, Firebird's, T/A Challenger's, AAR Cuda's, and Mustang's Battled Ferociously in the American Trans Am Series of Racing.....Until they tossed a Detuned Corvette into the mix and they dominated the Sport. Trans Am was shortly shut down. All because GM was Crying for Wins!!! Pony Car Wars are for the Pony Cars to Battle !!! Not an Out-Classed Non-Pony Car to Race within that Series. People stopped watching!! Gorgeous Challenger T/A!!!! God Bless!!!
Would to make a modern rendition of this one with the new generation Challenger T/A. Rollcage, make a sequential gearbox for it, maybe similar engine setup, but around 500, while also being street-legal! Love that car man its awesome AND American!
The best sounds from these things (for me anyway) are actually when they're far away. The driver jumps on it and you can hear the sound spread out and echo around every structure on the track...it sounds like the heavens are being torn open so God can look down and say, "that is a badass car."
Hermoso Challenger y transam. Se vienen sacando chispas. En un lano a mano. Muy lindos todos esos autos. Gracias x el vídeo. Muy disfrutable. Saludos desde Uruguay 🇺🇾
Wow thats me driving in the morning going to work, then realizing it's Saturday and we don't work on Saturday's. But seriously what are the black eyehole looking things on the roof for ? The car is a true monster. 👍👍👍👍👍🍻
@@AlwinSV I just wish we could afford to run 500 cube motors over here, with gas costing the equivalent of $7.20 / US gallon it’s a rare sound indeed. All the clowns here are zipping about in their Tesla’s ‘saving the world’. Pffft!

@@AllanKliewer The owner is Beat Gubler, if you search him up on facebook you can see a bit more of the build as he often posts when working on it
@@AlwinSV awesome, thanks!
Amazing how early 70's American musclecars still look more badass than modern junk. Trans Am and Challenger look menacing.
Charger and Barracuda too.
Don’t forget the GTO

The oldschool body with modern mechanics makes this musclecars extremely aggressive. It's good to see that 😎
@@andraszsuppan5583 You could still have a 440 six pack and 455 HO in these cars and you'd still have a blast. F the new tech.

I wasn't going to watch but I saw your comment and I have to agree with you. WINSTON CUP RULES 😊
Watch trans am TA and TA2 you will probably like that
Sounds as good as it looks. Treatment of the arches around the wheels is subtle and tastefully done, sits perfect. A beauty.
THE JAVELIN AMX Comes like that standard from the factory! No mods needed! Mine is a 71 and getting the TRANSAM Treatment.
Nice 69 likes
572 HEMI,
Just nothing comes close to the mad spectacle and earth shaking rumble and thunder of American V8.
🇺🇸💪👍🏻
Dam right.
HONDA POOOOOOWAA!!!
As a proud Brit., a lover of 3s, 6s and 12s....... I completely agree😊. The sound is very special ❤.
Jets shake the ground more than a Hemi... until you put that Hemi on nitro. Truly the only thing more thunderous than a top fuel launch is a big rocket launch. But those are making literally as much power as the electric grid of a couple states.
🦅wtf is a kilometer
9.4L wow! the new challenger is like a kitten next to this proud lion.
It’s nice to see an awesome mopar doing its thing! I’ll take this over NASCAR any day!
All day Long.!
💪👏🇺🇸
I'm extremely impressed with the handling. This car has been tuned to be a genuine track weapon.
You drove it?
@fuselpeter5393 No. I'm saying that you can see it rips the corners, which is a very long way from the stock one. It must have taken a lot of good work.
Absolutely incredible. That sound is my love language.
Same here, in the flesh this sound just tears your body apart, it's surreal.
There's no replacement for far too much displacement 👍
Amen
@@AlwinSVDouble Amen 😎👍🇬🇧
There's no such thing as far too much displacement 😅
now thats a beast

I cannot get enough of the sound and feel and look of this car
That challenger is a monster,im a huge Pontiac fan and that trans am is a beast.
Freaking sick! And the Pontiac in front of its not too shabby looking either!?
Yeah the Firebird has a 496 running about 730 horsepower. Coupled with some very wide slicks that thing is rapid. I’m uploading the video of it later today!
Amazing car. The 70 challengers are incredible cars, in both looks and performance.

Young guys may not believe this, but in the 80's we built street cars like this. The only thing legal on it (questionable) was plates and tags.
Fell in love with the car as a child. First time I saw the movie Vanishing Point. Still my all time fav muscle car.
I could watch this thing go around the circuit all day and wouldnt care if it wins or not...what a sight and what a sound...perfection.
A true piece of power and beauty! You're so lucky to get up close to a machine like this.
people who never been on a track can't imagine how loud these cars are. when they are comming up they are already loud as hell but when they pass you on a straight with high rpm and you can hear the sound straight out the exhaust they litterally shatter your eardrumps while you're covering them.

Looking at the body lines of that Challenger I can see the fenders have been bulged out to tuck the wider tires in. Looks totally natural. Great work!
572, dang! I didn't even know there was such a thing! I love it! Sounds Amazing!👋🤠👍🙏
Maybe the greatest Challenger I've ever seen ! Wow What a Beauty and a Monster ! LOVE IT !

The sheer brute violence of the exhaust note is pretty amazing.
old,loud,big and evil to the bone...thats how a muscle car has to be ! ♥
Big blocks, the baddest of the bad. The king of race engines!
That was extremely satisfying! Mopar or no car. Brings back memories.
I cant believe this looks so much better than any new junk
I dunno….the previous charger/challenger do it Justice….
because it's a race tuned car sure, but if it was stock i would say that the Demon is better
Menacing !!! Beautiful!!!! And on the track !!! Soooo freaking badass !!!!
Not all Challengers are meant to go in a straight line. That is one Bad Ass Challenger. That '71 Trans Am wasn't too shabby either.
Yeah I am a massive fan of these big block muscle cars built for the track. Not something you see very often around here. I’ll have a video out on that Firebird tomorrow!
70-73
how do you nail it down to a 71?
please.

Thanks for the reply. I asked because I've been looking for one lately. I started a new job today and hopefully I'll pick one up soon.
That would be awesome man, good luck with the new job!
Total unit. Cannot believe they're racing such an irreplaceable treasure. Same with that Trans Am!
Those beasts were built for the track, that's just another weekend drive for them!
What a beast... Challengers, Chargers and Hemi Barracudas my most favorite ones^^

Yep as always you forgot as most do about the Javelin.
That sir is one beautiful car.
Seems to have a solid driver as well.
I was always told growing up that getting a big block car to turn at speed was impossible. This ol gal proves that theory to be wrong.
Thats freaking amazing performance for a car like this with Hi CG and heavy weight. Trully insane !
Holy f**king hell it sounds incredible! I almost had a crisis listening to it.
Let`s ROOOAARR !!! What what what A BEAUTY in Lime !!
As a Moparman I think this cool. I love the green. I love the Engine you have for this endeavor. Best wishes my friend!
Sublime was always my favorite of Mopar’s High Impact colors.
@@wjspade That tied with the Hemi I dont think you could of had a better combonation.
That start up sounded like a monster waking up
Ce son est incroyable ! Merci pour le partage 😎🙏🏻
Merci d’avoir regardé!
best looking Challenger on the planet
Those downshifts are pure evil, but I can’t help but imagine how much fuel a 9.4L capacity engine burns through in a race.
what a sledge hammer of a car, wish I had a car like this.
So sick! I see this becoming a lot more popular.
fast cornering Muscle it's A DREAM COME TRUE!
Just awesome to hammer around like that, beauty and beast at the same time !
Spectacular gorgeous car, great driving. Thanks

That HEMI always sounds 2,000rpm higher from far away. It's an amazing doppler effect.
Best looking machine the greatest look and a brilliant sound. I love it.😮😅😊
Dude, this is another level to love his car, i love it too
Those vintage cars corner pretty well. Not to shabby.
That's some goodlooking old American Muscles... that firebird looks sick too... love old muscle cars...
Poetry in motion to be sure!
Such an amazing car, i do wish there was a little more meat on those tires but omg what a build!!!!
Top-notch video, love it!
The Spirit of Everett Kendrick lives!!!!!!
That sound though. That sweet V8 sound.
Symfonie - !!! Krasný zvuk !!!👍👍👍
Loved it...the interior is raw like tge rest 9f the build...match the power and sound and style of the car...should be fun
Talk about love at first sight
The torque alone would be mind blowing 😍
Truly amazing car in looks and performance
The hemi engine just sound so unique. Best sounding v8 in my opinion.
That is one beautiful car!!! I had a 70 RT SE. Loved that car. Unobtanium now.
absolutely not unobtainum...just need money!
Someone needs to make a diecast model of this beast! I love it👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
I call that color mean green... We're turning green with this one! Hulk smash new PR!
That is a SWEET ride.
I love the retro livery.
Glad he doesn't live nextdoor to me though! 🙉
I was there, these 2 cars sounded amazing and were really close the whole race. Looked awesome

That trans am and challenger look malevolent coming down the track
Very nice indeed. I'll take it and that Trans Am !!!
This is Sublime👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾..sorry could not help myself
And that's quite a projectile.👋👌👍
It goes pretty good! All round satisfying.
Wow thats me driving in the morning going to work, then realizing it's Saturday and we don't work on Saturday's. But seriously what are the black eyehole looking things on the roof for ? The car is a true monster. 👍👍👍👍👍🍻
I want to know about the eyelets on the roof too.
Dang. You can’t beat Lime Green with black stripes. What a awesome car.
So cool to see a Mopar car set up for the track!!
My absolute favorite muscle car!
Magfuknnificent! Beautiful!
The LINES on that car.
What a brutal monster of a car🤜
this is how an engine should sound..!! I will say though, that TransAm did look nice ...
Shoots fire out of the exhaust at times, too!
That car's as old as me, but much better looking ! 😁👍🇦🇺
That wide body Challenger 🔥🔥🔥
Now THIS is what I think of when someone mentions American Muscle 💪
Just real emotion on wheels
And all without breaking 5000 rpm ? Torque heaven.
Yeah I believe these engines go up to 6-6.5k rpm max though with the torque I doubt you need it indeed 😅
