Actually the Hemi was Half the reason it was banned. The Hemi is the ONLY engine Banned in Every style of racing at one point or another...which is why it a legend. 1952 the A311 331 ci Hemi was blowing away the fastest Indycars away (track records) that they complained and had the displacement regulations lowered for the hemi and other pushrod engines. Ford did the same for the Hemi in Nascar and superspeedways in 1971. The Father of the Funny car,....the Mopar altered wheeled cars were Banned from running in NHRA in 1965 and moved to IHRA racing. Funny thing is that Cummins....associated with MOPAR since 1989, also was a first at INDY with being the first HiPo diesel powered race car....back in they 1950s. They never had to stop for fuel, only tires. 40 yrs later Audi Diesels got into racing...and it was a big deal, LMFAO.

The detuned big blocks could produce ~350 BHP and ~500 ft. lbs. of torque and preferred to drive around all day at idle, and could launch the big cars with little effort. The high tuned versions, and the bigger the heads and airflow the worse it got, suffer at idle and some will almost stall if not attended. Nature of the OHV, and something oft forgotten in the modern era of OHC. A generally tuned motor had to be big to produce big horsepower, but those big boys had great torque and power bands, and to high tune the horsepower potential out of them meant issues on the short end. There is a reason why OHC has done what is has done in the market....

@C6Z_Bob

​@kingduckford the reason for OHC is because of displacement regulations in many countries, forcing them to make more power with less displacement. Cam in block engines are still everywhere in America. The beauty of a cam in block design is that it's very compact. My LS7 (7.0l) is smaller and lighter than a BMW S65 (4.0l). It also makes a lot more horsepower.

For the record, I'm using my wife's account. I had the privilege of growing up in Charlotte, NC during the 60's and 70's and with my NASCAR fan dad. My dad took us on 4 "camping trips" a year to the infields of Charlotte Motor Speedway and North Carolina Motor Speedway in Rockingham to watch the races from a platform built on the top of an old IH Metro van. I got to see 6 races with the winged cars (2 in October 1969 with the Charger Daytonas and 4 in 1970 with the Superbirds and Daytonas). They were definitely sights and sounds I will never forget. I watch NASCAR today and long for the days when the cars were actually stock and the drivers had personalities.

Nothing like the sound of a Mopar starter. Love it! Beautiful piece of history. And an engineering masterpiece.

That noise. That beautiful noise. Hearing the symphony of pure volumetric efficiency. That unmistakable sound of a MOPAR Hemi. There’s no other V8 on earth that sounds quite like it.

They should have Richard Petty drive that as the car that that starts the race off one time! that would be cool!

Do it a Daytona 2017.(but better make sure there's only enough fuel to make it around the track 1 time or Richard may not start the race but run in it.)

Dmk Dmk agreed!!!! Petty should drive the opening part of the a NASCAR race with this as the pace car

This is so beautiful, the car, the engine, the sound Holly GOD! That SOUND!!! i almost cried by the end!

Could you imagine if this thing ever went up for auction. It's the king of the birds and Daytonas.

that car idles at 100 mph Richard had it right on, thank you all please continue, just, love them cars and times wow, never for get them.

This may be the greatest video on youtube. The sound of it starting up will be one of the greatest sounds ever recorded. Its breathtaking. Incredible.

facts I had to replay that like 10 times. the reporters reaction is perfect.

I NEED that car for my morning commute!

Words cannot express how amazing this video was,wow.

I can’t even imagine the sound level at say Darlington during the start with a racetrack filled with such cars! Richard is a national treasure. I cant imagine the prices his cars will command on the day they finally cross the auction block.

Truly breathtaking! As the astute reporter said, the sound, the smell, what an experience. Thanks for the video ride!

facts man the reporter was very on point. this car has a presence.

Now that's when NASCAR was about building fast cars with no computers and few sponsors! (Money) Mechanical ingenuity at its finest; and remember, this car is geared to go 200mph with a four speed so low end acceleration wasn't its strong point.

Chuck Gura makes sense. I was wondering how he had it cruising at like 30 mph without it jerking.

@Lofi.z34

It seemed to be jerking a little bit when he was following the red firetruck looking vehicle with the camera crew, perhaps the car wanted to rocket off!

Those times were Nascar's bests, but then they came in 2000 and made crap, like when the Pontiac Grand Prix was added.

New NASCAR's are still incredibly basic.

Hello, that is a smooth-running car. Very nice tune up. No unnecessary after fire pops and explosions at all. Well done Gentlemen. Thank you for uploading this video.

THANK YOU RICHARD AND LARRY FOR SHARING YOUR RACE CARS WITH ALL OF US HERE THAT LOVE YOU LOVE THE CAR AND THE KING THAT DROVE REAL CARS UNLIKE TODAY'S RACING

THAT´S AWESOME!!! Like Richard Hammond said: "Gotta do lots of steering to keep heading straight forward." I can´t believe it has got only 4 gears+reverse. These cars are awesome. Dodge charger Daytona too.

It aint about how many gears its about rear end gears

Thank you, Mr. Petty, and thanks to Larry and the camera crew. I wish my step-dad was alive to have seen this.

The sound of a full on race Hemi -- awesome!!!!

I remember skipping school to go out to MIS and watch qualifying. They would let you hang on the fences in Turn One. I will never forget watching Petty's Superbird come about a foot from our faces at MIS. God thank you for those days...

NOW THAT IS A RACE CAR. BEING A North Carolina born and Bred, Rancher Gotta say I might just get a little giddy to be able to Ride in one of Richard Petty's Race Cars. IF I COUND DRIVE One of Richard Pettys Race Cars it Would BE the Plymouth Road Runner. I love that 1970 Daytona. I wouldn't mind driving Kyle Petty's MELLOW YELLOW Pontiac. Oh I know here in North Carolina, We Love Ranching and Racing. Rodeos and country living. 👍🏼

Best Music I've heard in a long time!!!

Watched this 6yrs ago. Back to watch it again. Love that car.

What a great video man. You had too much fun ! And thank you for asking the King the right questions. You are so lucky to have had Larry take you on that ride. I’m going to save this video and watch it a lot. I draw cars as a hobby, and have already started on the super bird. Thanks, tim p.s. that was the best sounding engine I think I’ve ever heard!

This is Heaven , Mopar Heaven .

only the sound of a Merlin in full song and this thing makes me moist and lights a fire inside me.

10 minutes of loud Plymouth noises to make my quarantine better

Always been my favorite race car drivers ever since i can remember! Thanks for showing these amazing vehicles def want to check out this place!

The best audio on youtube. period. & the metal eye candy/art is tops, as well. Jeepers..must be what the Normandy Invasion sounded like.

Man... King of the Mopars, I love it! Wish I could feature it on my channel ;)

Richard Petty is awesome! I grew up watching him on ABC Wide World of Sports in stock car racing in the 70s. Great time to be a kid.

That Hemi doesn't just start....it lights off!
