Pure stock rules (last time I looked) allowed an increase in compression ratio, so you don't know if this is still a low compression motor or not. That said, I'm sure that back in the day there were more or less stock GS's that would outrun a lot of Hemi cars - not all for sure, but a significant percentage of them. My own 67 Hemi ran low 13's stock, with 3.23 gears. My lightly modified 340 Barracuda with the same rear gears would run even with it. Of course, the fact that it was 800 lbs lighter helped.

Both a hemi- Cuda with 3.54 and 4 spd, and an ls6 chevelle in different articles ran 13 1 , so much for blowing away all times with a 13.38

Awesome video. Me and my dad enjoyed watching it together. He's a Buick guy from back in the day and I've been in love with the Cuda since I was 15. Loved seeing that HEMI put that 455 away.

@Cars And Zebras, how about you cover perhaps some of the most underrated muscle cars ever from GM, namely, the Acadian Beaumont, the First Generation Pontiac (Canada) Acadian, in particular, its SS variant (by the way, it is actually on the same platform as the Chevy II/Nova, and it is also the only GM vehicle that is NOT a Chevrolet vehicle to have an SS label), the Chevrolet (USA) Biscayne (which is around the same size as the Impala, yet had all of the options from all of the most awesome GM cars, including every single engine and transmission option from the legendary Chevrolet Chevelle SS), Opel Diplomat, Vauxhall Victor, Vauxhall Cresta, Vauxhall Velox, Vauxhall XVR, and Chevrolet (South Africa) Lumina SS?

50 years ago I raced a 1968 American motors AMX 390 HP. I broke a track record at the Las Vegas Stardust raceway. I miss those days.

FAST Factory Appearing Stock Tire. Seen them race at Lebanon Valley Dragway many times. When i first saw this class i couldn't believe how fast they run. Was looking under the hood of a 1971 Boss 351 Mustang, noticed it had ARP Head Studs, then i found out the Rules, what you can and what you cannot do. Very exciting class, if you're into the old Muscle Cars. Those little tires is the secret on how to get them so fast, sure it takes alot of practice launching on those little tires.

For me, this was one race I couldn't choose sides. It's like having to pick just one kid to favor. All I've owned & built were Buick's & Mopar's since I started driving in '82. As far as I know, this has been Only 1 'truly equal' head-to-head match up of these 2 road terrors; and that was in 2003 at Byron Dragway.The Buick was a stock Stage1 455 w/Turbo 400 Q-jet w/strip kit (allowed since the Cuda had dual quads) and Dextron trans fluid. Engine was blueprinted, cam & crank degreed for true TDC, 10W30 Valvoline NSL oil & Amziol 75W140 diff lube. The Cuda was a stock 426 HEMI, 727 HEMI Torqueflite (std 727 - 3/4 clutches, Magnum 4/4 & HEMI 5/4) running Trickshift trans fluid. Engine was blueprinted, cam & crank degreed for true TDC, Mobil 1 15W-50 oil & Lucas 80W-90 gear oil. Both cars had 4.10 gear & were running 110 octane pump gas (leaded), true factory duals (no crossovers) & Heartthrob 2.5 " center IN/OUT mufflers. Both cars were tuned up at 4500rpm. The Buick was fully loaded with options while the Cuda only had PB, manual windows & No A/C. The Buick ran all 3 belts while the Cuda ran only 1. Both cars were driven by 2 other drivers. After the 1st run, they switched and ran again. Both times, the GS won, 12.07 & 12.16 @ 115mph and change. Buick's also had another Real big advantage, and that was ins premiums. ALL Buick's were insured as the base Regal with 350 V8. The GS was an option pkg and so were the motors unlike every other make at the time. I know because I had a 69 GS and my ins was the same as my aunt who had a 71 Regal 4dr sedan w/350 2bbl and my 73 455 Stage 1 Centurion was the same as my 71 LeSabre 2dr hardtop w/350 4BBL. All the other muscle cars of the era were 2 to 3X as much. It was even the same for the 80's GN's & GNX's. They were insured as a pedestrian Regal w/231 V6 2bbl or throttle body.

Had a buddy in high school in ‘67-‘68 that had an old big fin Dodge, faded black and red 2 dr HT. It had a 392 hemi in it. Auto. Fresh rebuilt engine. Crazy fast car. We had lots of fun blowing everyone off the road!

the car was a Barracuda 'Cuda. Had a brand new 340 'Cuda in 1970. The Hemi was incredibly front heavy. The driver did an excellent job of getting it off the line. The color was Tor-Red. The same color in a Dodge was Hemi Orange.

Didn't get my notification for this vid, and sucks when Y-tube does that crap. Those Hemi Cuda's are badass and agree, as they are my top choice for hottest muscle car of the era as well. Although I have to narrow it down a bit and is actually the 71 model year that I like best, with those cool gills in the front 1/4s & grill. Although the 70 AARs are totally sick to, and also really like the look. Ronnie Sox & Dick Landy ruled the strips across the country, and were kings of the blacktop. Dick started with Plymouth and then switch to Dodge, but Ronnie had great success with the Plymouth (A/FX cars) factory experimental Mopars and we're badass dude's with lot's a class 💪🏼😎 💪🏼😎. BTW, love the Mopar content and please keep em rolling bud 👊🏼

Two absolute gems 💎

I had in the day a 340 cuda that turned low 12"s. I did have it modified of course. I had the torque flite 3 speed automatic and a hemi hi-stall converter.

Nobody talks about the van with the cool paint job!!

The reason the buick is able to pull of such a light weight is because it's a post coupe. The post cars generally weigh 200lbs less than a conventional pillarless hardtop.

I see this is at Atco raceway. So are they actually selling it to someone else and closing down? Because I've been hearing different things but I wasn't sure

Nice race. The Buicks are always lighter, that's why they always handled better then all the other A-bodies. The 455's are only about 50lbs heavier than a 350 chevy. The 70 Stage 1's are also making 510lbs (gross) @ 2800 rpm - they don't need bigger gears, but Buick used to recommend if you were running a stick car to immediately toss the 10-bolt and go for a 12-bolt with 4.10s.

I believe that segment of tv commercial had the sound of the saying they used “Plymouth Makes It”. ❤️ Good Day Everyone!

if you don't get a good jump on a Hemi you are never going to run it down on the top end. Back when they were new I often saw cars pull a length ahead at the 1/8 mile only to have the Hemi go screaming by before the 1/4 mile mark. There is simply more mass in the Hemi to get spinning then there is in the Buick motor.

Among old big blocks, the Buick is the lightest, and the Hemi, the heaviest. The curb weight was no surprise.

I have a 72 GS and I love it!

You forgot to mention the Cuda had a slightly shorter wheelbase and body than the Barracuda. They done it to compete with Mustang and Camaro because the Barracuda was too big

Thanks for watching! 👍

Hey man I am starting a factory drags down in Florida under Supercarraces.com would love for you to get some footage down here!!

With the 'cuda 3.55 axle if 8 3/4, 3.54 if Dana 60. It's hard to imagine a Hemi car without a Dana, even with a 727.

The Buick Stage 1s were torque monsters

The 3.23’s in the Hemi Cuda were probably to try to get at least 6 mpg

I would take either car
