Those 1/4 times on every car listed could vary up to 2 seconds in either direction. So many factors. I remember an ex girlfriends brother win the winternationals with a 70 396 nova just with minor modifications. Another person I knew had a 70 428cj Mustang that ran hi 11's low 12's just with a tune, headers and slicks. The Boss 429 got a bad rap because it was not only detuned for the street but was geared for NASCAR, it wasn't setup for drag racing. But if you did I have seen them run 9- 10 sec 1/4. Myself had a bone stock 70 Mustang coupe with a 351ho cleaveland all I did was put on a holley carb and tune it, it ran a 13.80 with g 60 tires.

You got your Boss 429 times wrong. The 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429 can run a quarter mile in under 14 seconds with stock parts, and in the 12s with minor modifications. Audrain Auto Museum lists the quarter mile time as 13.6 seconds, while a 1970 Boss 429 dragstrip survivor ran a quarter mile in 11.79 seconds. .

I like my Mustangs and Torinos but i also like that Buick what a rocket with a luxury interior. Very nice.

What about the nova 2 ss?

Back in the 1970's, my friends had all these cars you are profiling.There is one car you did forget. I had one , and had no problem dusting off all those cars my friends had.That car was a 1974 Trans Am SD 455. It was rated at 360 HP with 500 torque. In actuality the motor was dynoed at 500 HP!

Your first one told me you have no idea what you are talking about, or where you got your numbers. I stopped right there. All magazine testing in 1970 said the opposite. Many mags tested them from the factory. The fastest in 1970 was the '70 HemiCuda, 2nd was the Boss429, 3rd was the Buick GSX...all within a razors edge of each other. Do real research from the time.

Ford 427 Cobra? 428CJ Mustang? They did really well in NHRA Stock and Super Stock and you could buy them right at your Ford Dealer

A big part of it is tires. With better rubber they would have been a lot faster!

The 70 428CJ did 11s in NHRA C stock. They put 500 lbs of weight to pull them back to the 12s.

? so we were all lied to ran 10,s

Just saying, I personally love all these car's, but now! You have all the big names, and way more HP! 2025, is going to be a big year!

The mighty Hemi placed third on this list. The Mopar fan boys are really going to be disappointed. LOL.

The downfall of Pontiac: Montara, G6, Aztek, Ventura, T1000, Parisienne. All they had to do was stick to the LeMans/GTO, GP, Firebird/TA, and later adding the Fiero V6 and G8GXP.

1970 Buick GSX....

When I was 18 my Brother came home from the Army and bought a 67 Plymouth GTX 440 automatic. Bone stock he turned 14.01 @ 105 mph and won trophy in his class at drag races. He never lost a race to a Ponticac GTO so the numbers they are showing are not what I observed back in the day. Most muscle cars ran 14 and 15 second quarter miles when bone stock. If you ran 13's back then with a stock unmodified car, you had a fast car! Side note: My first car was a 72 Dodge Demon 340 and I raced several GTO's and always beat them. The GTO was always overrated. Beautiful cars, but not as fast as many others. I would suspect that some of these times they are quoting are from cars that had headers and some slight modifications from factory stock.

The term muscle car did not emerge in 1949. More like 1979 or late 70's anyways. Before that term came to use there were pony cars and super cars.

Why no small blocks. There was a story were Ronnie Sox drove a 68 Barracuda 340 4sd tuned with headers to a best of 13.3 I'm sure other small blocks had close times...

We are living in the best of times now. Today's performance vehicles whip all these vehicles.

I think there is a lot of variation among the cars back then, depending on tuning and a variety of other factors.

Growing up, the guy that lived across the road was a hot rodder. He built street rods and drove a '69 Charger RT 440. That was my first ride in a Muscle car. Later that year a high school buddy was diving a brand new '70 340 Challenger. I was hooked and own many fast cars today.

I would have loved to see the police have Dodge Demons. That would make criminals say "I am pulling over." 😅😅

I was 13 years old, working in an auto junkyard. The owner let me ride to town with him one evening in his '70 LS6 Chevelle. We'll just say that he was in a bit of a hurry. Living in the hills of West Virginia with some of the twistiest roads you can imagine. It was a thrill to say the least.

Finally a well done video. If that's AI it's really good. So which one u want?I'm a staunch Pontiac ,Chevy guy, it's the 69 GTO. Second place believe it or not. Shelby 500. Had the list included 2nd gen Trans Am I don't know which I'd go with 455 super duty TA or the Goat. Both I think!!!

1969 BOSS 429 with a automatic transmission (C6)?????

To be fair, I didn't watch the whole video but here is my nomination. The 1967 Shelby mustang with the 427 side oiler. It was only ever offered in the Shelby in 1967. Only one was made by the factory. It was ordered by Carroll Shelby himself and dubbed the super snake. It is one of only one. As for the mustang 2, its rarity is determined by rust. Very few survived the elements.

I don't know, you mean my old Rambler could've out-dragged a McLaren Mustang?

Please Please me guys its not pound feet of torque its FOOT POUNDS of TORQUE. I can't take it any more Im going to off myself you'll see.

Wrong engine at 1:05 that’s the 5.4 Cobra R engine. Great vid though

My 01 SOM is the most beautiful car ever made.... fight me!!

Forgot 69 Shelby GT350 Convertible very rare…..need to do better research before posting videos.

The 84 Corvette with the miss fire, I mean crossfire. Worst car I ever owned.

firehawk formula is rarest

1996 was the first year of the WS6 package. You could get it on the Firebird Formula and Trans Am. All of the V8 Firebirds could be optioned with either a 4spd automatic or 6spd manual transmission. All 1998-2002 Trans Ams came with T-Tops unless you opted for a convertible.

I am getting so tired of people thinking that Bullitt was some special Mustang that regular people could buy. There was no “Bullitt” Mustang. It was just a car in a movie, nothing more. A Mustang with a 390 engine, that’s all.

You forgot the 1967 ford mustang lone star limited bluebonnet. My mother had one and she still talks about it to this day.

Love all these stunning Mustangs . I am particularly fond of the shorty Mustang that was shown in this video. Great video. Thanks for sharing !

iv looked for the ground effects on the ta in the header photo for ever for mine lmao ill only ever collect pontiacs

Copo?

1969 Camaro ZL-1?

It was what back yard shade tree mechanics did that made Chevrolet the best on the streets.

I sold it in 1969 sure missed it.

So some mega rich asshat buys it for 117 million then goes and locks it away from view away from the museum! What a selfish prat.

Great video. The only thing its missing, in my opinion, are some clips of the exhaust note!

I was lucky enough to have owned a 1967 Corvette 427 tri power. What a machine.

These are great cars that really turn heads on the road. These 4 valve engines are the best sounding engines hands down!

No I truly believe it was the 2013-14 Mustang Shelby Cobra GT500, fastest production Mustang ever atleast top speed wise from the factory, very affordable, look better then these year models, handle better, bigger engine, more Horsepower and Torque, 6 Speed manual Tremec TR6060 Trans, interior is still mid but a lot better, and if you want the supercharger to sound louder you just need a better Pulley and Intake, 0-60 is around 3.7 seconds or less and that’s in 1st gear, no bs, top speed over 200 mph is achieved in 5th gear then you still have 6th. In my opinion it’s the better Mustang all time.

AI ass narrating

the 427 435 hp tri power had 3 holley carburator not rochester and buick gs 455 stage 1 was faster than the hemi

Such a sexy car

The 2002 firehawk was one of the best looking cars I've ever seen. Yellow and black. Very slick.
