Glad to see you back buddy been wanting to see some American 🇺🇸 💪 muscle.
Same here best Channel and just love the old Yank Muscle over in Australia
My brother had a 66 Chevelle SS 4 speed, we raced back in the 70's at few tracks. It had a L88.
Back in the day ( yes, I am old ), my friend has an L78 69 Chevelle with the Turbo 400 and 3.31 posi. At the track he would intentionally shift it down to 1 and leave it there. He would just nail it at the green and let it upshift on the transmissions’ governor which was set at 6,500 RPM. The car would be near the top of second when he crossed the finish line. It was great for bracket racing. With 7” slicks and using he method of driving, the car ran 13.5 almost exactly. If you know bracket racing CONSISTENCY is most desirable. Great video !!!
I'm glad somebody's showing real cars! This is going to suck when everything turns electric!
Stop voting for those clown acts!
ain't that the truth
There's got to be a way to prevent this electric bullshit from becoming mainstream.
@@gregorymarsh9504 Yes ! Power outages.
Welcome back, C&Z!
My father drag raced a '67 Chevelle, but ran a solid lifter 327 w/ the fuel injection system from a Vette. He always brought home a trophy and there always seemed to be some controversy as to how legal the injection system was but there was never any negative finding. After the first season of this, Pop went one further and spent a couple weeks doing a port job on the heads. He estimated a gain of maybe 30-40HP, but I thought it was more when I rode in it afterwards. He was running consistent mid to upper 11s w/ that engine and turning up to 8K RPM at shift. I loved the way that engine sounded at speed and haven't heard an engine quite like it.
Great to have you back!
It's about time. Hope all is well at Cars And Zebras.
My father had a 66' 396 chevelle with 4.56 gears and a 4-speed...same color, but with a vinyl roof an a bucket seat/console interior (same color)...he always said it was a 12 second car...
Glad you're back C&Z. It's been a little bit. Hope all is well
Awesome , Long time no see , welcome back , Thanks C&Z😊
Good show . Thanks 😊 👍
Thanks again C&Z
had the 66 SS396 chevelle. same color. $1,200 in 1971. only a 325hp 396 4spd bucket seats. a 454 LS-6 crate motor($795) made it run with the big dawgs. 12.20 119 mph. great video. glad you are back.✌️🖤
Nice. It's pretty impressive what these cars are capable of running exhaust manifolds. Love it
@@VG-iq8xq that and the tires. how do they keep from going up in smoke with stock tires?
American beauties! Love this channel.
I'm pushing for the Chevelle
Great races. The extra low gearing seemed to help both cars surpass the times that were quoted by the car magazines back in the day !
The rules also allow them to bump up compression to a certain percentage over the original factory compression.
That Chevelle got the best looks! i totally love these cars
Welcome back CZ!! and with 2, really NICE cars, too!!
Evenly matched Chevy's! Great racing!
Thanks to the owners for flogging their cars for our entertainment!!
I absolutely love "66" Chevelles, and this one doesn't disappoint! OH YEAH!

missed these videos thanks for putting it on
Welcome back and like always that was an awesome race!!!
Two incredible cars
Great cars,
Great race! Thanks!
Welcome back, C&Z! Great race...seems the Nova was a steal of a deal back in '69! Thanks for posting...about as even as you're gonna get!
Deal was the superior Chevelle cost less!
WoW! 2 Great Cars and excellent racing by both. Thank You
Great matchup of these classics.
I’ve been missing my CZ videos, glad to see your back. Being a Mopar guy, I’ve got no skin in this game, but two nice cars, and I remember them well.
Welcome back, been missing the great content that you post. This is an excellent matchup, great races between these two awesome street machines.
Glad your doing the narration again, it's part of the reason I watch your vids lol
Both great cars and an interesting matchup. The longer wheel base *should* offer an advantage to the Chevelle and the Turbo 400 offered one to the Nova. Great match. Thanks for sharing and glad to see you back! ~ Chuck
Surprised Nova cost more than the much superior Chevelle...
Love everything at Martin and mid michigan. My Dad used to take my brother and i to both tracks every summer. Its tradition that we go now
I always amaze by Chevy muscle cars. There some of the fastest
Hallelujah a new video!!! Thank you young man! Excellent as usual. Keep up the good work and more videos .
Yep love 66 ss big block 4 speed considering I'm a 66 model myself. Both cars are very cool and very fast. Thanks for the video.your awesome 👌
Love seeing them 396's ! TY
A buddy back in high school in the early 70’s had a ‘66 Chevelle SS that was a bit of an oddball. It had the L78 396 but it came with a powerglide auto and an open differential with around 3.25 rear gears. Needless to say with the stock narrow tires that thing was a tire (singular) fryer. It could pretty much melt the right rear tire. It made for some pretty fun lunch hours cruising around our high school.
Kinda reminds me a little of my first car, Atleast in the Gearing department. A 77 Olds Omega SX with a 350 Chev 2 Barrel, it originally had a Turbo 200 Automatic i believe, which i Blew Up, which was replaced by a Rebuilt Turbo 350, with Shift Kit, the Rear was a 10 Bolt Non Posi with 2.56 Gears, in Highschool it laid the Longest One Legger Burnouts coming outta the parking lot. Wasn't very quick coming outta the hole, But it got down on the Highway, started getting very unstable once you started seeing 120 mph, but was lot's of fun for a first Car, especially after i blew up the original Engine, Spun a Rod Bearing. Rebuilt the original 350 with a Mild Cam, Aluminum Intake, Holley 600, Headers, Woke it up after that a little, Even with Those 2.56,s i Never did change the Gears on that Car. It Laid Long Ass One Tire Fryers, that's for sure.
Also probably the funniest damn channel with gobs of muscle cars
Goodday C & Z,
It is absolutely awesome to have you back & watching your killer video's.
Summer vacation I presume, best of luck to you.
Love that Chevelle looked awesome with the painted rims & always had the higher mph.
Great to have you back.
Your number 1 Fan in Australia
Louis Kats from Melbourne Australia ☺ 👍 ❤
Great GM cars👌 thanks for sharing 👍
Love that Nova as it was one of my 1st cars when I was 15 in 1981, my 1970 was red with black vinyl top & interior 350 4bbl
We’re back baby!!!!
These Novas were manufactured in Argentina, unfortunately only available with the 250 inline 6 engine.
That 66 Chevelle 4 on the floor🔥🔥🔥🔥🤙🏾
One of my favorites the 66 Chevelle for the win!!!
I paid 1500 bucks for the same color Chevelle (Aztec Gold) in 1985. It was a base 325 hp, stupid me sold it.
I love my Nova's! Never really cared for that body style Chevelle but still badass!
Both were Equally Impressive!! A 4-speed stick for fun and the Thm 400 for consistency. Next they should be able to use Slicks.
Jesus they sound sick. Two of the same engine blaring at the same time is too cool.
I miss the silly antics you say,, this one was boring but race was great 😃
Very nice, wonder what my 454 will do
where the hell have you been .. 😀
Absolutely Awesome is right !!
Evenly matched
Seems like those 4.56 gears keep the Chevelle in it's sweet spot with HP's. The Chevelle's MP seemed to be 2-3mph higher than the Nova.
The most impressive thing about these cars is the are running old school tires for these races. Just a set of 1970s 60s would a made a difference or old school slicks with Todays street tires I bet you can drop the et to second less.
It would be awesome if GM brought the Nova back
Another muscle car duel. Nova will win.
Fastes top end Chevy made❤
👍👍
Man seeing these old chevelles just bums me out sometimes I think back when I was 16 I had a chance to buy a 1967 Chevelle super sport 427 4 speed for $700 it was from one of my dad's friends but it didn't work out I didn't get it I never thought about it much after that but I sure would have loved to have had it the dude gave me and my brother a ride in it that was in Carlsbad New Mexico that freaking car hauled ass I mean it got on it I would have lost my license or kill myself if I would have had it so it's just as well and you want to hear another good one I didn't know about 1976 I was working for a concrete crew doing stucco and a buddy sold me a 66 GTO 389 4-speed Hurst for $100 it needed to throw out bearing in a clutch and some work on the brakes or wiring was messed up other than that it was a good car it didn't have the three deuces out of four barrel either way I didn't like it so I gave it back to him cuz it wouldn't get up and go like I thought it would damn I wish I had that fucking GTO now you think about these things you just want to cry .
100%
1969 nova😍 nothing can beat it.
Two nicely matched cars there, could have been anyone's race.
Looked like that Nova was having major traction issues off the line in that final round. Personally, I love the '66 Chevelle better than the Nova ( unless it's the older Chevy II Nova ). Also, if I'm not mistaken, after the 1st yr of production, Chevy quietly bored the 396 BB 0.030" over during the remaining years, bringing the cu in displacement up to 403 cu in. ( or was it 408 cu in?.....someone help me out here )
402.
@@robertmetzger6467 Thank you.
at the end of the race, how can the losing car still have a higher MPH??
Nova for the win
👍🇨🇦
Sorry if I'm late but is this Company Man???
No 69 Nova SS that year ,
So they let you go out 😜
Ok….those are far from stock…still great
one sharp 66
Hey

Cadillac Don - everybody wants a Chevy...... Best cars
