Hot Rod Time Machine: Old vs New Video
Just How Good Were the Good Ol' Days? To find out, we've gathered three modern high-spec ponycars and matched them with their glory days ancestors. We're pitting a 2011 Camaro SS against the '69 Camaro SS396 that inspired its design; a 2011 Challenger SRT8 meets the '70 Challenger it so faithfully resembles; and a freshly minted Shelby Mustang GT500 convertible meets its '69 forebear.

they looks great but cars as performance cars are bull. handling is the worst and there is no performance car without handling. and that v8 is unnecessary. build quality is like? in any american car- bull.
if going whits reason never buy it but if you go by beauty and price its no. 1 in usa. in eu we cant even drive it- to low safety and build standards, only oldtimers

Whats really fun is out racing both Ricers and Mustang GT boys and girls in my '94? Olds 98. 3.8L supercharged! Man do they get upset when that big 4dr sedan pulls ahead and stays ahead...
@GMdrivingMOPARguy ...
@GMdrivingMOPARguy the 1970 challenger 318 with a a833 weighs 3900 i know cuz i scraped a 73 challenger with the 318 833 4 speed,and the new base model challenger weighs 3640 the srt8 probably weighs 4100 but i am 100% positive the 70 hemi challenger with the cast iron 833 not aluminum weighs over 4,000,and they do make a 850 holley throttle body mine is a 850 holley commander they also make them up to a 2000 cfm,go to my profile and look at my website under performance you will? see them
@AnonymoussourceL0L ...
@AnonymoussourceL0L well, we alreay knew that?
@JoeysFunFarm I ...
@JoeysFunFarm I dont know where you found those specs from but they are false. The new Challenger is 4100+ pounds and the 1970 is about 3500ish depending on what engine. And by 850 throttle body i assume you mean carburator because Holley dosen't make a TBI with an "850 throttle body." And on that adding 100 horses you had to do somting else to the engine like a cam and intake? swap. No single bolt on adds that much (Barring Nitrous Oxide)
@GMdrivingMOPARguy ...
@GMdrivingMOPARguy and i have a 1990 dodge ram with a 360 police package with a 750 holley throttle body and spacer plate thats producing 300 horse the last? year of the 345 swirl port police heads has a lockup a518 trans non computerized overdrive,..was ordered for west virginia state police but was never put into use just sat at the dealership till an older woman bought it for hauling horse trailers,
@GMdrivingMOPARguy ...
@GMdrivingMOPARguy i dont know about the ford or chevy but accually the base model 2011 challenger weighs 3640 and the 1970 challenger base model weighed 3850 or 3900 if equiped with a cast iron 833 4 speed...., tbi injection gives you way more horspower i? got a 77 dodge w200 with a 440 all stock converted to tbi holley 850 throttle body making 350 horspower thats 100 more horse than stock using factory 4 barrel intake with adapter plate,
@JoeysFunFarm You ...
@JoeysFunFarm You do know that all of the new cars in? this video are heavier then the old ones right? Its all that computor crap in them. And i have never seen a carburated engine switched to the tbi injection make more power, they make worse
Time capsule ...
Time capsule expensive Muscle VS Plastic peace of s**ts...thats a good compareson allright..Imagine with the 1969 GT500 you all three of? those new cars..
@jhaul21 tell me ...
@jhaul21 tell me about it...?
I'm sorry to say ...
I'm sorry to say you guys are wrong, the new camaro is based of the 68 not the 69.?
i think we have the ...
i think we have the first generation of attractive, powerful muscle cars since the? 60s and early 70s.
I'm not a fan of ...
I'm not a fan of these old muscle cars. I my opinion they are tin boxes with incredible basic engines. That being said I do like the old Challenger :3?
@aaabbbeee thats ...
@aaabbbeee thats not just a LA thing here in Texas the mustangs an camaros are being driven mostly by women an outta shape posers & geezers who wanna be hip lol ... an the Dodge Challengers are driven by men,? as they should , i mean just looking at the car u can tell its more of a" DUDES CAR "
Seriously, give me ...
Seriously, give me any? and ill be happy
well and you got to ...
well and you got to remember the old ones are made out of steel they are heavy tanks the new ones are plastic and weigh as much as a feather,now if you had a 426 hemi? get 2 throttle body adapter plates for the 2-4 intake and put 2 throttle bodies on it and made it fuel injected it would be a car from hell 0-60 would be 2 times faster than the new one,the old cars were built with big old cast iron blocks big f**king carbs and big cams not computer chips and plastic valve covers,weightless s**t
the only reason the ...
the only reason the old ones didnt win is because of the massive tourqe of the big blocks melting the tires wile the new ones got traction control and can barrely spin the tires from a dead stop,if you put that 440 in that light new challenger it would haul ass it has so much tourqe the rear end would rip right out the frame would snap in half, i garanttee if you hook up? 10,000 pounds to them the big blocks they will pull it like nothing wile the new cars would kill trying to pull it.
@aaabbbeee what if ...
@aaabbbeee what if a women can drive? like a man? my husband doesnt think its a bad thing, not many chicks drive cervini mustangs! but i do!! and plus a v6 shouldnt be called a "muscle car"
i think the old ...
i think the old ones were cool but there crap I think new is much better?
I compare these new ...
I compare these new cars to music on CD, and the classics to my old vinyl records. While the CD is clean sounding and consistant, it doesn't quite have the "soul" the vinyl has. On paper the numbers show a clear winner, but nothing can compare to hearing those secondaries open up on? a big block as you downshift and roll on the sauce. Whats better? who gives a s**t, give me a v8, a stick shift and posi and I'll have a blast while you guys argue about it
why not run the top ...
why not run the top chevy camaro and top challenger? The new cars run were all top and the ford, but the chevy had alot? stronger engines and mopar had the hemi. Also why not run better tires on the older ones, bias ply sucked and didnt hook at all, stoping time and drag times would also have been better on the older cars.
I reject your ...
I reject your reality and substitue my own... old cars? are the best. It is much easier to upgrade them from stock, unlike newer cars where you have to deal with things like, computers. Old cars look better too. They also should have done the 1970 Chevelle SS LS6, that would have given those new cars a run for their money.
Well lets face it.? ...
Well lets face it.? Modern technology makes newer pony/muscle cars better than their gran-daddies in the performance field. However, due to increasing safety standards styling takes a hit. They still all look good. What I do miss is the ability to work on your own vehicle, and the sound that older cars have. Everything now is fuel injected and smooth sounding. I love my 2009 Challenger RT, but what I would do for an old C-body, lol.
@kestkr Maybe i'm ...
@kestkr Maybe i'm just? grumpy. Two of my female classmates got v6 premiums for their high school graduation presents and I couldn't help but feel a tad depressed.
@aaabbbeee it's ...
@aaabbbeee it's just in? L.A.
the 69 mustang. ...
the 69 mustang. really? one of the ugliest. no 67 ?
@kestkr HAHAHAHA ...
@kestkr HAHAHAHA badass muscle car? nooo. it is sadly now a car for posers and chicks. i see 10 v6s for every gt. and like 30 v6s for every shelby i? see. its sad. the camaro is also unfortunately becoming like that because of its looks. the only real muscle car left in terms of demographic, looks, etc is the challenger 392 srt8
