Drift Cuda Hits the Drag Strip! 500 HP 6.4 Hemi

- Опубліковано 9 вер 2024
- We've been blasting to get my 'Cuda ready to hit the track for a local charity race, Race4thehouse. The car hasn't seen any action in a few years and it's NOT setup for Drag racing but with 500HP it should still do the damn thing, right?!

I’m not a Mopar guy but do appreciate them. I really like the style of your Cuda. It’s like a retro pro touring car. It’s awesome.
Thanks!!
Can't wait to see his 2nd Gen camaro on the track
fuck the mustang and the Camaro, the cuda is the best looking car ever made! really any Mopar! satellite, roadrunner, super Bee, duster, demon, valiant, whatever!!!!! they're all so much better looking cars! pure class and style and ageless/timeless good looks!
@@rustybritches6747 Damn fella, calm down!! You're going to get your britches in a bunch..
I hate that you’re not on HRG anymore, that was one of my favorite shows, but this format really suits you dude, keep it up! Loving the show and all the interesting projects!
Also I think the Drift Cuda may be my favorite car you’ve built, glad to see it back! I would love to do a demon or duster in a real aggressive street style like that
Really enjoying your content and the new channel, Tony.
Much respect to you for making the decision to leave an established set up with MotorTrend to venture out on your own and be close to your family and those little girls that are growing up fast!
I also appreciate that you still pay respect to your old comrades at RK, RKG and HRG. Often that doesn't happen when people go in a different direction for whatever reason, and it's good to see those friendships still stand even if you're not seeing or working with them as much as you did.
I enjoy your take on these projects and the different approach you have compared to the old work....lots of knowledge and information and plenty entertaining at the same time.
I look forward to future videos (dogs are a plus, Steve Dulcich would be proud) and more great/ unique cars as the channel keeps growing. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for all the kind words man! I appreciate it! Glad to be home, and working on the channel!
Going to miss the Tony + Lucky show. Best content on motortrend along with Jason Cammisa's work.
well said
the broom stick is the most under rated tool in any workshop. also great for clutch plate alignments
Fishtail is badass, musclecar people usually put a high priority on engine performance and neglect the archaic suspension and brakes. Your cuda is how i like to see the money spent. Nice job on the underside.
I remember when Plymouth came out with the '70 Cuda! It was AMAZING! I never was able to afford one, back then or now, but I think that they are the best-looking of all the pony cars.
Tony.... As the owner of my '73 Barracuda (currently being transformed into a '71 Cuda tribute) since 1975 and the parent of a Drexel U graduate, totally agree that the 'Cuda is "the best coolest muscle car of all time".
Love that you show everything, mistakes, replans, etc - warts and all.
I dig the actual banter between you and you buddies, my vote is more vlog style less production style
More car builds. Love the fabrication and what Tony, skudz, and goeff, did for their friend mark who passed.
His whole life is fabricated from production what do U expect ? me not much
I love Tony. He’s a MOPAR guy, through and through.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this episode! Thank you Tony.
"Drift 'cuda" is badass sentence tight there. ✌️🇦🇺
I remember seeing this thing at SEMA and thought Fyeah a classic muscle car/drift car. So glad to see you get back at it. I see so many SEMA builds just slapped together for the show then disappear into storage probably for the same reason you said, burntout compromises and corners cut to make the show. Stoked man!
Agreed.
Cudas are cooool. The 1971 yellow cabrio Cuda that Don Johnson drove in "Nash Bridges" was awesome.
The best part of this video is the part where I remembered I opened a fresh beer and only taken a sip from it.
This isn't a ent anlut the video about boring.
It's a comment about how much I like beer and convenience.
That Merc wagon won his class in the nostalgia race at Cecil in 2019. Love your cuda!
Man, I love everything you’re about, and get the whole package, but can’t comprehend letting that badass crate motor just sit untouched for so long that mice took up residence. Any car guy knows that letting it sit for extended periods is one of the worst things you can do to a car. Maybe the modern gaskets don’t dry out like the old cork ones did, but good grief, you get handed this awesome dream engine and mice become squatters? C,Mon. I KNOW you know better. Nice car. Nice build. I’m sure you know that despite setbacks, turmoil, hardships, existential doubt, and so on, you are living the dream. I just watched the Sick Week with the Firebird, and that was awesome. I was deeply impressed with your resolve to continue to do the right thing even when a lot of people would have taken shortcuts. Like changing the pulley for the street, checking all aspects of the valve train when there was a question, the lot. You have a fan in me. Hanging the hoops on a street driven car had to be quite a feeling. The trouble you had with the fuel pump was bewildering, and I’m not sure if I ever did grasp what ultimately was wrong. Anyway, you rock, don’t let that mill sit babe. Varmints can do damage that you might not see till it costs the whole shebang. Especially wit these composite pieces, they can gnaw through concrete, plastic is nothing for them. Imagine a sliver of plastic getting stuck between the piston and cylinder wall. Ughhh!!!
In my 28 years of wrenching I've only ever used butyl tape (AKA: Dum Dum Tape) for everything automotive except for mounting glass to body. Glad to see this project moving along 👍
Ok I’m gonna say it…. WE NEED MORE DRIFTING FROM THE CAR!
Dialing in bump steer will be even less fun than fitting that dash haha happy to see the non glorious but super important work getting done
HAhah, right? It will be great when it's done.
Funniest thing? The E-body was a cut down chassis B-body and the accountants didn't let the engineers tune the suspension. The best SCCA & rally cars they ever had were A-bodies. Look up Scott Harvey and "Starfish Racing;" also a guy named Mike Ritz out of SW Washington State and his vintage Barracuda racer Scott Harvey give insight on...Scott was a Chrysler engineer
@tony your approach to the rear suspension applies to irs but not so well to solid axles. The control arm angles can provide "anti squat" which would actually push the tire down into the track if you set the shocks the same as you did the front. Separate fast, resist compressing. Plant the tires and keep them planted
I was looking for this comment. You saved me from having to make it my self. 👍
The Editor gets it DONE! I was almost up and dancing... and watching!
Thanks! He's killing it.
Glad to see you are getting the Cuda back out, I saw it at SEMA, followed the build on HRG and own 2 E bodies (73 Cuda and 70 Challenger RT)
I forgot how damn well the colours look on the cuda. Nice to see you bringing it back tony
Tony, it's nice to be able to watch you wrench and have fun. Especially when I don't have to pay for a subscription. There's no sponsor budgets. But that just means you can build what you want, how you want. And on your own time frame.
Awesome car. And now that you can spend some time tweaking it and making it how you envisioned. It's just gonna get better
It sounds amazing. I also love the vintage paint schemes on both vehicles.
Love the channel. Can't wait to see that firechicken run!
85 degrees….lol! Love seeing the Cuda back.
Hopefully this lights the fire in Tony.
I was so stoked on this build because Tony was so into it and it was heartbreaking to hear he burnt out on it.
Denny is a beauty for having you drive his Chevelle. I would be interested in seeing a build breakdown of that, there are so many 1000+ hp cars on youtube but a reasonable 350hp drag spec car is so cool and gets no coverage!
Right on!! And it ran really good! A car running 12.72 is no slouch.
Thumbs up! Tony and Crew!
That's probably the best engine I've heard on UA-cam. Fantastic.
I love the Subrosa T shirt!! Represent the bmx scene.
Love the cuda! Your demon is so awesome 2, my brother had a 71 340 4 speed 😈 and it was the yellow with black stripes. He had a 70 challenger rt/se as well plum crazy purple and had a indy headed 440 with a 727tq with a manual valve body. He sold it yrs ago and just bought a 71 challenger that looks identical, has a pistol grip 4 speed and a 440 stroked to 500 inches!!! Very cool mopar!!! Love all you do, rock on 🤘!!!!
Good seeing you down in PA at the Race for the House, great car, I can’t wait to see more on it. That was one of the best races I’ve been to out of the hundreds of races I’ve seen. Great time, highly suggest it, I’ll be back next year
27:52 Wow that Mercury Wagon is really ripping
I feel like each video you make is getting better and better. Keep up the good work.
this channel is becoming my favorite watch really fast
Thanks! We are having a blast pumping this stuff out. Want more action and some more speed soon!
That car is a dream on wheels! Always a good car for a scary story.
Awesome video. Those flyby sounds are making me sad, my local track, Moroso in South Florida, recently closed down 😢. Also bringing back some real good memories though
Tony your cuda is bad ass man we need to see some more action with that car. It’s been tucked away for way too long now time to get it out
It's just shows its all in the tune!!!
I haven't been to Maple Grove in a few years but I need to get back there. I went to every National event for 15 yrs in a row plus the Ford, GM & Mopar events or just a any reg drag weekend, love the Amish kids up on the hill watching the racing 🏁
Tony's reaction to the Cuda was like Joe Barry's reaction to the Death Metal Charger. :D
Can’t believe it was 2016 you brought the Cuda to SEMA! Huge fan of the build and I remember at the time having a hard time finding photos or coverage online on it. One of my favourite builds out there!
Glad this is finally getting out and moving. The story of this car is an example of why I usually ignore SEMA cars, so many are a show car that was rushed to get to the show and either aren’t driveable when they get there or don’t get driven after. What is the point of a car that can’t be driven or doesn’t get driven?
wow 2016! feels like only a couple years ago I was watching the build.
Love that you said Bucket list car! love it
The cuda is one of my very very favorite old hot rods. I love it!!!!
Great seeing you support our favorite cause!
Thanks Tony, remember to enjoy what you do a bugger deadlines. Would be fun to see that young silver hair friend from LA pop out to help with the wiring. Have fun thanks again
Watching HRG I was always disappointed that Fishtail just disappeared from existence after the original series... but after the explanation I kinda see why. But hopefully you can get it how you want it and enjoy it from here. I'm a GM guy, but it's one of my favorites from HRG.
Love the episode and the car! Your editing is getting better and better every episode.
by far some of my favorite episodes are you making the rear end and front end of this car.
The 1970 'Cuda AAR is probably on of the best looking cars in history. But that's just my opinion.
You made pretty much my dream car ... except in orange. (And I would have likely kept the torsion bars in the front.)
I"ve had my 74 cuda since 78, feel lucky i still have it and still lookin good .360 ,727,4,30 gear.
Fishtail cuda is one of the coolest mopar builds for sure!
So cool to see this thing again my dude. I think it's pretty badass you helping out with the charity too, fucking awesome!
Only thing missing is the rest of the hoonigans, loved the cross over episode! Great format so far very good content!
Mate, this was the best "Shock spring adjustment montage" I have ever seen :-)
Your Fishtail is my all time favorite since your introduction at Sema, what a niiiiiiiiice car, and i remember watching you drift this on motortrend i guess, that was epic.
This channel kicks so much ass. Every time a video pops up it's like, oh let's hang out with uncle Tony, the rad Gen X racer.
Did I see a Ford Escort waiting to run?!?
Loved seeing all the old school muscle cars!!
The fact that you don’t have 2 million subs is mind blowing but it will happen. I was supper happy when you went youtube only but im sure that was a leap when you have a family. I think as you tune how you want your content to be seen, T/A is on your way to one of the biggest UA-cam channels out there.
Thanks man! We are just getting started!
"Fonzie it into place." Funny comment. I really like this car, and I like even better that you're doing real work in a real environment. HRG is cool, but reality TV only gets so real.
Love the suspension stuff, loved when you were doing it on HRG. I can sort of get why it’s hard for people to get excited about suspension, it’s not as sexy and some big chop from a sweet drivetrain.
Fishtail Cuda is definitely one of the sickest hot rods ever built. Wild full race car!
Was that a 64 Comet wagon you ran against? What a beautiful machine that thing is.
Yeah, for the split second I could see it! It's a 9.90 car I believe. Wagon and SUPER nice inside. Super stock type class.
Vanishing point "Kowicki"!!!!
Great show Tony! My dad had a 340 cuda when I was young and its made me want a mopar my whole life. Gbodys are what I can afford though. The get away malibu you and lucky built on HRG is cool as heck! keep up the good work!
Awesome job,, just remember we are here for the cars and builds. Having a great attitude helps 👍🇺🇸 keep at it
It's great to have some East coast hot rod representation. 🤘
EDIT: That comet wagon is friggen rad as hecc
Too bad the Cuda wasn't happy, but look forward to further adventures with it. Good stuff Tony
I love the Cuda ! I have a 6.4 swapped 2005 single cab Ram . So much fun! 😎 💪 💪
70 cuda.my dream "muscle car" ....it can be an AAR,a clone,a slant 6 or whatever,ill take any
All rite Tony now you just showing off. Joking man keep it up.
been waiting to see this beast!
nice welcome back "bad FISH TAIL" - fish tail runs... 11:50 120mph
I'ma put that first run into context, my stock 07 Corolla ran it's fastest time at 17.5, 79mph. I love that cuda, I really want to see it working right!!
I clicked on this video because that's the most clever channel name ever lmao. How have I never seen this channel?
New to the channel, actually found you through Finnegans 2019 Drag Week win (specifically, man handling that trans after the week you both had.... F'n A dude!!!) and your work on Roadkill... Liking the new stuff buddy, keep it up!
27:31 "Dodge Challenger" - LOL!!
GOAT CUDA! Everything is great such and amazing tasteful build. Definitely one of my favorite builds from you tony.
Much appreciated, It will get there eventually!
Like button engagement complete.
“Ask and you shall receive” -The Editor
Shop dogs followed by Ol’Glory and the Anthem?!? Winning on the Tube…
Terrific video!!!
Thank you!!
Love it. Awesome job 🍻👍
Glad to see you working on the Cuda. It's a cool Cuda, just need some time to work out all the kinks.
Good suspension setup and slicks id go 10 @ 137... as car is say 3100lbs 500hp, on street tyres ill say 11.2-11.5 @ 122-125
I was gonna say mid 11s also.
I built a Fox body myself …a very healthy stroked 8.2 deck n/a motor, built c4 but full street car trim. Car weighed 3350# with me in it. Blistered off an 11.03 hitting the rev limiter @ the 1000’ cones…(EFI car with stock pcm..untuned) don’t know the actual HP but my machinist was estimating 550 chp ….maybe more but she ripped!
Welcome back Drift Cuda! Looking forward to more vids on that guy, fun car!
Great cage!
A+ for the cage builder.
Hello Tony the Cuda still looks awesome can't wait to see it again Wishing you and your family well Take Care
That Comet wagon you ran against!
Sick looking shirt.
If you can pull off an 11.80 in the cuda, I'll say you will get 120mph. Good luck.
Also, maybe get your mate a new dash or roof lining as a thank you.
this car and General Mayhem are my fave "project cars"
Loved the build videos for this. Great to see it again!
Great video. and you @tanglo have the audio dialed in man, looks like a fun event!!
