It's called power to weight and ⚙️ gesring. Though aerodynamics limit speed, 1000 HP via twin turbos, super low suspension and firm steering, 6 speed transmission and salt flat racing ring and pinion gears of 2.56 or lower will get you there. I had a 1980 monte carlo with 2.56 gears was capable of 150 mph.

Shear animal grunt is what's pushing that monster. Not much aero in old school car shapes. Ive pushed wind at 150mph plus on a bike with no fairing. That shit is hard at speed.

It takes so much power to just push through the air. Moving the car fast isn't that hard, it's moving the air out of its way.

Mopar - more power!!!

Love the Cuda

Cuda sounding like an F 16 fly by😳

I remember that. That was done at Chrysler test track when testing the Cuda with V-10 viper engine only the aerodynamics of the Cuda is hard to push through the air with the open grille and then the trim molding was peeling off the top edge of windshield. Some of the Chrysler engineers were to help give advice on how to get a cuda- refrigerator to push through the air. Awesome video

Lucky that 'Cuda didn't get airborne in the front end.

Hitting top speed is a battle between drag and available power. Running out of "aero" IS running out of horsepower. However, the 'Cuda is outrageously awesome.

That Plymouth Cuda was Beautiful.

Ludicrous speed !!! 😁👍

NOT condoning this: My friend had bought a Charger SRT8 and had it for a few months. He was taking me home after cruising around and punched it on the freeway entrance. He passed a CHP officer on on motorcycle writing a ticket. The officer just stood there shaking his head. No attempt to radio in, get on his bike... just shook his head as that black Charger tore past at 150+ mph.

Yeah, that front end on the Cuda was lifting up, and the rear was squatting down. Id be running out of balls too

It takes "Balls of Steel" to go 208 in a Cuda! I've never heard of any pneumatic tires that are rated for those speeds. I thought I was gonna die, when I hit 140 in my 71' Cuda on the 401, with Nylon General Grabbers on the Rear! Back when I didn't know any better!

Awesome, love this

It makes everything if I had my choice I'd take the super cuda, all day

You hit 200 in a Cuda, mad respect

Moovin and groovin.

Need adjustable coil overs. More rebound on front shocks. Bring the front down and the back up slightly to create " rake" to help with areo. Also block up the bottom of the grille opening to decrease air pressure under the hood and open up the thermostat to keep it cool

Must be nice to be able to say you drove at 200+ 💨💨⚔️

That's impressive for a car shaped like a brick. Would be Interesting to see what a dodge/Plymouth super bird type wing car could do. If they did 200 on a nascrap track what would they do in a straight all out?

You didn't run out of homies they just got in your way to look through the windshield! I've traveled at 145 mi an hour for lengthy period of time. That was a long time ago. I cannot imagine going faster than that. Man I can't even imagine going that fast again. Can you do it in a 50-year-old car congratulations. Okay we know it's been rebuilt with the most modern items but still, WOW 😳!

The appearance of a car The sound of a plane The aerodynamics of a brick

Damn that beast sounds like it eats babies. Awesome build.

One of the most sleek & beautifully styled COAT

Almost sounds like a Merlin!! BEAUTIFUL!

Thats essentially a brick flying at 208 - wow! And no aero - he must have been fghting that wheel like crazy keeping that thing straight.

Very Impressive my 73 would run about 135 years ago and you could feel it Dancing Around. 👍👍

Atleast he's honest

I wish I had been in there with you.

Imagine how fast you could clock that engine if you put it in a superbird

Self preservation is a good speed limiter

Those damn Mopars 👍😎

Like a brick going down the road,,,listen to it whistle,,,lol,,lol

Alright, I'm so happy I got to see the cuda hit --- mph. Well worth it putting it in the left side of the sceen where we can't see it.

That cuda is my ultimate dream car

Peter Klutt damn this was a long time ago to be hitting 200+mph. Loved that show.

I remember my first time as a kid ever going fast in a car was in a Mazda millenia S-Type doing 155 mph which I had no idea that that car could reach that type of speed it looks like a regular family car it's a straight sleeper. 🤣

Baterries on wheels will never sound this good

That cuda sounds like a damn jet❤❤❤

Enzo Ferrari, could listen to that V12 all day.

Fuckin awesome

Running out of Aero and running out of hp is the same, because it is a direct relationship between how aerodynamic a thing is VS how much hp it takes to go a certain speed

Great episode!

Cuda looking evil flying bye!

that cuda sounds like a low flying jet bro

Positive that ain’t no stock suspension. That thing could move!

That turbo sound 🛫

One word.... BOSS!!!!

Live to see another day

208MPH out of a Cuda? now that's damn impressive for a lead sled of the early 70s. that's a Cuda I'd seriously love to own. mainly just to piss off my neighbors. Lmfao

Not really surprised. Back in the day of old NASCAR the Hemi Charger was capable of hitting 200 mph.

McLaren invented Aero. It helped Bruce McLaren's team win every Can-Am race in 1969.

WOW both beautiful vehicle

I was running out of cojones lol 😂 🤣

That's Nucking Futs

For that car to hit 208.... It's almost unbelievable. It sits sooooo high. My brain can't see this as a fact.

That brick sounds like a WW2 fighter aircraft

Get a splinter custom made for the front and a defuser for the rear of your car with under body airflow plates and take the spoiler off and you’ll probably get 230mph with 1000+ hp

American muscle 💪

did u add the jet sound fx? this is my dream car. 71 cuda but alllll black- flat black

big difference between 208 and 218. Takes a lot of horsepower to overcome air

Beautiful...

It’s crazy to think cars are doing 230mph+ in the 1/4 mile😂

Now put a superbird front end on that Cuda
