    Even with a high and bouncy wheelie launch, the guy cut a 9.49 with a stick. Respect!

    makes me miss our local track. Every memorial day weekend they had a 4spd gear jammer class that brought out 8 or 10 cars. worth every minute of them. Leaving at 7 grand on the bumper. sounded horrendous when they side stepped the clutch. I love it!!!

    Tubbed rear end is when you shorten up the rear axle in order to fit big(ger) slicks. Hurst shifter is a aftermarket manual transmission shifter. Google next time :)

    Doesn't get much better than this. A built Hemi cuda with a lever between the seats. In days of old they all had levers in them, but with the technology in converters and slush boxes being what it is today there becoming more and more scarce.

    That's one beautiful Mopar. You did a great job driving and maintaining control. I think you might have better success if you lower those wheelie bars. The sooner those front tires are back on the ground, the sooner you can steer again which will prevent you from getting too far off center and having to let off. It would also help minimize lifting and bouncing which means better acceleration and faster ET's. Great job and I love that B5 blue!

    when i first saw the wheelie bars i said what?,then i noticed it was a stick car climbing that ring gear,all the greats had trouble racing the stick hemi's,the hemi made so much power and torque under 8000rpm it was frightening,the DANA even had trouble holding them,about 60 runs and and its ring gear time,mopar or nothing

  • @MrGsxr10001
    @MrGsxr10001 13 років тому

    @MotorsbyShooter No, he"s all over the place because the wheelie bars are set so high there of little use, drop those bars down about 8" and that thing would go forward in stead of sky word.

  • @Dirthauler65
    @Dirthauler65 11 років тому

  • @independent2368
    @independent2368 6 років тому +2

    That's a badass machine right there and looks soooo much better than any ricer and will still be admired and around in 100yrs, unlike the plastic toy carz. They will be a recycled coke cans and someone's laptop or toilet seat for all of its plastic which is about 90 %, so it will be good for lots of shitters hahaha. Most importantly that good old Detroit iron has so much incredible personality and a continuous long lasting history with many generations that absolutely love these cars, and I am one of them and had my son around these rides since he was a little guy. It goes pretty deep and when he was just a toddler, his mom would put him in the front seat of the 70 Plymouth Roadrunner that I was restoring so that he could play as he watched me work. So we have a lot of memories that are priceless and were centered around these rides, so there's much more to their story that the ricer guys will never possibly comprehend or understand. The others have no soul or personality and pretty much all basically look the same, but these awesome V8 powered machines are true drag cars with American spirit and represent the greatest generation to ever live as far as ingenuity, strength and productivity goes anyways...its the way it is and just sayin

  • @fingers967
    @fingers967 8 років тому +27

    your instant center is too low .. move your top bars on the 4 link up one hole and then go from there .. this car look great in a wheelie but your loosing et everytime it goes up

    • @starbattles1
      @starbattles1 7 років тому +7

      Ass end is jacked up too high as well. Needs to have the tubs reworked and get the ass down lower. Maybe he didn't want to do so much cutting to the body. But when he one day hits a wall he'll wish he had. If you watch close when the ass squats there is a spring board action that lifts the front. Better shocks and lower stance will solve that.
      Moving the bars up one hole is a good start. Get racing bump stops for it to sit down on at full squat.
      WHeelies are fun and look cool but eventually they lead to breaking shit or hitting walls.

      If he owns a Hemi Cuda and knows how to shift like that I'm pretty sure he knows about 4 link setup but doesn't care about e.t. as much as running it like an old school superstock car . Which is exactly how it launches . Awesome car ! and props to him for knowing how to shift that beast .

  • @kman-mi7su
    @kman-mi7su 6 років тому +3

    I loved seeing vintage muscle like this Cuda on the track back in the eighties when they were frequently still seen. Problem is now that cars like the Hemi Cuda have shot up into the stratosphere in terms of value, you are hard pressed to see one running quarter miles like this in 2018. I can't blame the owners of cars like this though, if you own one nowadays, its almost an investment or retirement fund, your talking serious cash so you want to be careful with it.

      A lot of those cars are clones or cars that had 318’s and such but are now modified with money.
      It’s their toy and they have fun with it.
      I built a 67 gear jammer and I have tons of fun with it.
      Now an original hemi Cuda….those are rare to see racing but you’ll see tons of non factory hemi cars still blasting down the strip.
