Why should she get back in the kitchen?!!!! You don't have the intellect to make your own meal? Learn to cook FOOL, and surprise your lady with a candle-lit dinner!!
Having drivin a 69 Charger R/T (440/4sp) and owning a 77 LTD II (basically same thing as a 74 Gran torino) I can say this. Number one, this chick didnt drive either car to its potential. The Torino with its lower ride height, big fat stablizer bars, and more responsive steering/brakes woulda caught the General in the turns. But the little time the torino caught in the turns woulda been more then made up for when the big block got unleashed on the straights.
as per "Starsky & Hutch" show bio; the Torino had a big block in it also; a 460. She was driving one with the 351 ; probably highway rearend and no sway bars.
im sorry but if you have an accent please do not try and sound country your just making an ass of your self and the south.... and in all seriousness i do not trust her judgement of cars, it just sounds like shes reading shit off a paper...

Something about her hoighty english accent and pigtails makes me want to do a fast lap with her in the back seat of the general lee. Maybe even with boss hogs mule she mentioned.
It's an old MoPar, dump it down a gear and thump it to the floor, lifting the nose changes the front end camber and it will fly thru those corners..... add a couple extra pounds of air pressure to the rear tires so it induces overstreer then take it for a ride....lol
Muscle Car Heaven: 1974 Ford Gran Torino, 1969 Dodge Charger, 1977 Pontiac Trans Am, 1978 Chevy Camaro SS, 1964 Chevy Impala, 1964 Monte Carlo, 1965 Ford Shelby GT 500... anyone may wish to add any car I missed. As for I was only born 92 and my muscle car knowledge is limited.
the 1970 dodge challanger... basicly as a genral rule anything that is 2 door, front engine, rear wheel drive and has a V8 is a muscle car. pureists like myself narrow that field to those made from 1960-1974
This lady needs to learn how to drive, I had a 68 Charger R/T with 4 piston power brake calibers & it stopped on a dime, if she's going to test a car she should test it with the correct factory equipment, also put her behind the wheel of a Charger with a 440 or 426 Hemi then let's hear what she says.
You are aware that the woman in this vid is Vicky Butler Henderson, an ex-race car driver. To be fair she would kick your ass in a race. You wish you could drive as well as her.
I doesn't matter who's driving, as I wrote "she should test it with the correct factory equipment" the Charger R/T had 4 piston power brake calibers & it stopped on a dime, the Charger she drove was most likely a SE model with drum brakes all around, people put that orange paint on any clunker & called it a hot rod. I would hope Vicky could out drive me but regardless of that my claim is test a properly equipped car before you trash its reputation.
I really hate when people compare old with new! Let's do some fair comparisons. Both the Charger and Torino never came off the assembly line to be a track car, but without the innovations that came from the early American muscle cars, you wouldn"t have shit in any cars in the way of performance. Unless modified for handling, the charger and torino both were mainly designed toward 1/4 mile performance. Kentucky Derby horses don't do slalom. Go to school dammit!!!!!!
@screamoEMO227 your way off the mark. besides, they didnt even use the corect tornino. that was the best dodge had to offer, but in order to slant it in dodge's favor they had use the later model torino which was built after the horsepower restrictions, meaning if it was lucky it had the 351w/c or the 302 and it was a bigger body. the dodge would have been lapped by the 70/71 torino 429 cobra jet. dodge will alsways be third best. ford is #1, chevy #2, dodge #3.
They should of used Bo's .Used in The Silver State Classic Challenge. And lest you think this General is all show and no go, it sports a Hemi, and not just the stock 426 Hemi, either. The car actually has a 511 crate motor that pumps out 725 hp. It also has an upgraded Hotchkis suspension, auxiliary transmission by Gear Vendor, Viper brakes, and a racing steering box.
where did you get your information? The show aired in the 70's and 80's there was no such thing as a viper yet. Also the general never had a hemi! And certainly not a crate engine. The only time a hemi was used was for the long jumps usually over a river. The real General was a 440 magnum with just a 4 bbl not even a six pack.
Oh and the tranny was a plain 833 chrysler 4 speed. And the 4 speed was only used for interior shots. The rest of the time it was a 727 3 speed automatic. Next time do some research before you blab your mouth about something you seen once so that has to be the truth.
I was talking about Johns personal General lee whice was raced in that race it it does have what I said.The car wasn't from the 80s when the show was out it was restored much much later so do a little recearch on the matter before to try to put me down but instead put yourself down
I actually bought this torino just after it appeared on the show, and it is a great fun car, but the performance is not great. But when it looks this good and makes loads of people laugh who cares :-) Funny thing tho, the suspension is so bouncy I keep pinging the front number plate off :-o
This chick has no idea how to drive older cars! The 440 has loads of power and kicks the ass out on my friends charger, so i dont know wtf shes talking about. Also theres a thing like trottle stearing. Girls just dont get the point of those cars anyways. oh the brakes feel weird the noise blah blah blah! shes use to her Audi or mercedez.
why the hell do they have to have a woman reviewing these cars, its not like the dumb broad knows what shes talking about, damnit what is this world coming too
'70s there were in a fuel crisies and even NASCAR was ordered to a shorter race or smaller tanks or something along those lines.The Charger was in the Days of Glory of the Muscle Car where as the Trino was not.Now I am not standup for the Torino especially since I am a Mopar Fan,but who ever thought the Torino would beat the Charger in anything,even looks was certainly on cheap drugs.
The chevelle in those years was sad,sure it had a large engine but chevy didnt put in brakes that could stop it,plus it didnt have the cool style the charger had,if there were a king of muscle cars it would have to be the charger.
I have a '73 Charger sitting out in the garage, it measures a little over 17 feet, and it is a little shorter than the '68-'70 years (a little wider though). So yeah, the the '69 is about 18 feet long.
These are two cars from two different eras...the General was a 60's car, while Zebra 3 was buit in a time where stricter mandates were put on factory built hot rods...both sleds held it down, one in the the South, one out west, ( with all due respect to a certain black Trans Am out of Atlanta)....
wow i would hate to be telling people stats that i didn't look up my self, she says the charger is over the 4,000 lbs! what the hell! 3800,3900 max, but no way is it a few hundo over 4,000 lbs!!!
To be fair, they are comparing apples and oranges- and not even factory-stock versions. The Charger looks significantly modified, expecially where cornering is concerned- she's nice and flat. The Torino behaves as the TV car always did- horribly. They are also using a 351C Torino, not the show's 460-powered car. Can't say what the Charger is running, but no way it's a 440 car. Had they compared the true, original cars, the Charger would still have won, but both would have been much faster.*sigh*
Pretty much everyone in the world disagrees with you hb77!The general is a legend not many people know the torino! I had a 383 in an old shortbox pickup and I beat the pants off a cougar with a 351 clevland!The charger has a attitude most cars dont have,they are cool with style!Fords dont have that!
the torino does have a smaller engine produces way less horse power and your calling that a fair race. and tons of people know the torino you just don't know it.
Wow how could I have been so wrong,what better combination then a huge car and a small engine no wonder the torino was so fast and popular? Get real,even little kids know the General Lee how many really know the torino!Wake up jacx90!
more people know it as the starsky and hutch car not the torino but they still know, they just don't know the car. i didn't say the engne was small just smaller it still does produce okay nimbers just the engine thats in the charger has a bigger, better engine it would be a better race if the torino had something like a 429 in it instead of the 351 im just it's not a really good match.
the newest dukes of hazard movie the charger had a hemi not a 440. and the two models are in different muscle car eras. the 69 was one of the best years for the charger. the mid 70's were the last years for the muscle cars. im sure a ford torino taladega would compete with that year of charger a lot easier. the 74 charger and the 74 torino would be more fair also because that year of charger did not come with very big engine options.
yea if it was a rally race. the toyota celica would have to be heavily modded to compete with a dodge charger r/t, but if the charger is heavily modded...well of course it is always going to be more powerful. when it comes to drag racing, the muscle cars will win. ive never seen a celica beat a bike that can do a 10 sec quarter mile, just type charger vs bike...youll see
Very entertaining. The Torino is cool but nothing beats the Charger. How can a car that's almost 20 feet long be so sleek and sexy? What a great design!
Not even. A 440 would still do the trick, even a 383 ford really went for shit then, Im mopar all the way but if I had a torino like that I would toss out those american 351 cylinder heads and get aussie heads then watch the torino get going.
this woman is dumb bitch she probly drives a prius ha what a joke she is, she doesnt know fuck all about cars

It does matter who is driving cause you said "she needs to learn how to drive", so being that it's Vicky, that's ehmm unsmart.
Further more, the Charger is probably my favourite car of all time, but compared to a car nowadays, they handle like crap, period.
I know some people get all offended like when you would insult Clint Eastwood, you just don't do it maybe, but hey, it's still true.

This lady needs to learn how to drive, I had a 68 Charger R/T with 4 piston power brake calibers & it stopped on a dime, if she's going to test a car she should test it with the correct factory equipment, also put her behind the wheel of a Charger with a 440 or 426 Hemi then let's hear what she says.

You are aware that the woman in this vid is Vicky Butler Henderson, an ex-race car driver. To be fair she would kick your ass in a race. You wish you could drive as well as her.
Sproketjockey 2 years ago
I doesn't matter who's driving, as I wrote "she should test it with the correct factory equipment" the Charger R/T had 4 piston power brake calibers & it stopped on a dime, the Charger she drove was most likely a SE model with drum brakes all around, people put that orange paint on any clunker & called it a hot rod. I would hope Vicky could out drive me but regardless of that my claim is test a properly equipped car before you trash its reputation.
nicknwo4life 2 years ago
I really hate when people compare old with new! Let's do some fair comparisons. Both the Charger and Torino never came off the assembly line to be a track car, but without the innovations that came from the early American muscle cars, you wouldn"t have shit in any cars in the way of performance. Unless modified for handling, the charger and torino both were mainly designed toward 1/4 mile performance. Kentucky Derby horses don't do slalom. Go to school dammit!!!!!!

@screamoEMO227 your way off the mark. besides, they didnt even use the corect tornino. that was the best dodge had to offer, but in order to slant it in dodge's favor they had use the later model torino which was built after the horsepower restrictions, meaning if it was lucky it had the 351w/c or the 302 and it was a bigger body. the dodge would have been lapped by the 70/71 torino 429 cobra jet. dodge will alsways be third best. ford is #1, chevy #2, dodge #3.

They should of used Bo's .Used in The Silver State Classic Challenge. And lest you think this General is all show and no go, it sports a Hemi, and not just the stock 426 Hemi, either. The car actually has a 511 crate motor that pumps out 725 hp. It also has an upgraded Hotchkis suspension, auxiliary transmission by Gear Vendor, Viper brakes, and a racing steering box.
daytonpaul 2 years ago
where did you get your information? The show aired in the 70's and 80's there was no such thing as a viper yet. Also the general never had a hemi! And certainly not a crate engine. The only time a hemi was used was for the long jumps usually over a river. The real General was a 440 magnum with just a 4 bbl not even a six pack.
mrduck05 2 years ago
Oh and the tranny was a plain 833 chrysler 4 speed. And the 4 speed was only used for interior shots. The rest of the time it was a 727 3 speed automatic. Next time do some research before you blab your mouth about something you seen once so that has to be the truth.

I was talking about Johns personal General lee whice was raced in that race it it does have what I said.The car wasn't from the 80s when the show was out it was restored much much later so do a little recearch on the matter before to try to put me down but instead put yourself down

I actually bought this torino just after it appeared on the show, and it is a great fun car, but the performance is not great. But when it looks this good and makes loads of people laugh who cares :-) Funny thing tho, the suspension is so bouncy I keep pinging the front number plate off :-o

One area you must remember is that in the

racecardriver467 3 years ago
To be fair, they are comparing apples and oranges- and not even factory-stock versions. The Charger looks significantly modified, expecially where cornering is concerned- she's nice and flat. The Torino behaves as the TV car always did- horribly. They are also using a 351C Torino, not the show's 460-powered car. Can't say what the Charger is running, but no way it's a 440 car. Had they compared the true, original cars, the Charger would still have won, but both would have been much faster.*sigh*

more people know it as the starsky and hutch car not the torino but they still know, they just don't know the car. i didn't say the engne was small just smaller it still does produce okay nimbers just the engine thats in the charger has a bigger, better engine it would be a better race if the torino had something like a 429 in it instead of the 351 im just it's not a really good match.

the newest dukes of hazard movie the charger had a hemi not a 440. and the two models are in different muscle car eras. the 69 was one of the best years for the charger. the mid 70's were the last years for the muscle cars. im sure a ford torino taladega would compete with that year of charger a lot easier. the 74 charger and the 74 torino would be more fair also because that year of charger did not come with very big engine options.
