@StreetKingEvolution Thanks bud glad you enjoyed

[SUPERJERRY0001]

U"R MY F HERO, COOL The american muscle cars 1000%

[59Napoli]

@SUPERJERRY0001 Glad you enjoyed it Jerry!

[Hot80s]

to jealous & hate comments i say fuck YOU.

[meltdown1232000]

Hmmmmmm...I wonder...

If we send over enough muscle cars, maybe there COULD be peace in the middle east.

[59Napoli]

@meltdown1232000 I think you got a great idea there!!!

I am doing my part :-) for world peace that is....

[Vaicurious]

Huh? Where did you get those fender flares?

[59Napoli]

@Vaicurious To fit the huge wheels had to flare them a tad :-)

[MrWORRIA]

nice cars!

[59Napoli]

@MrWORRIA Thanks!

[59Napoli]

Many thanks pit bull. They don't build them like they used to!

[LoveThyPitBull]

Great cars man take care of them.

[metalguyn]

Fuck you lebanese terrorist assholes, these cars belong in AMERICA!!! stupid sand apes

[MRGOODKat1000]

@metalguyn . Your just an asshole who seeks attention by provocation, just to boost your extremely low

self-image, and laugh at your own retarded wit. I bet you recycle this shit daily as soon as it comes

out of your gaping asshole.

[metalguyn]

@MRGOODKat1000 Fuck you man, this is American heritage. Build your own cars, dont steal ours. TERRORIST SAND NIGGER ASSHOLE!!!

[MRGOODKat1000]

@metalguyn .What happened to the American dream? These guys are burning gas & rubber in Lebanon!!! Shame on you, your no more American than your wife's Honda.

[59Napoli]

Thank Tommy we keep the red white and blue flying :-)

[Tommytank360]

I blatently live in the wrong country!

[9170CaseIH]

Fuckn EH American Muscle!!!

[59Napoli]

Thanks 70taji,

The cars were already hot. I don't drive them as much as I would like too but they run fine.

Regards,Napoli

[Seventaiji]

59Napoli, you & your friend surely must have fun with your cars, ans it was a nice run.

But right now, I'd like to know if your cars were already hot or not, because I own a double carb 20' years old car (runs like it is new, though), and I surely don't smash the gaz this early after firing it up.

[DiamondJake01]

Very nice cars :D

[GOUGOUNETTE]

FUCK YOU RAG HEAD..

[bobba84]

HAHAHAHA! My 2 Litre Skyline would be long gone!

[DeAdiSSu3]

@bobba84 HAHAHAHA! The only thing I want in 2 litres is a PEPSI!!

[bobba84]

@DeAdiSSu3 hahaha the only thing i want in 5 litres is alcohol! could you imagine if your v8 was made like my 2 litre? it would be insane. stupid big 1960's era push rod clacker

[DeAdiSSu3]

@bobba84 Actually v8's are getting pretty close to being "made like your 2 litre"....just not THESE v8s. The v8 that's in my car isn't 5 litres, but 6.5 litres, and yes, it is a mopar big block but for these old classics, it's kind of necessary to have a big motor. The mopar straight-6 wasn't even available for my car, which should tell you something.

[bobba84]

@DeAdiSSu3 Yes... well the only think I would want in a SINGLE CAM PUSH ROD CARBY is pepsi too!

[DeAdiSSu3]

@bobba84 That doesn't even make any sense. Just admit it, comparing 40-year-old cars that use industrial revolution technology to a skyline is pointless. Apples and oranges, man. The fact is that the guys in this vid are just messin' around, short-shifting and granny shifting while still being able to lay down rubber. These beasts will always turn heads, imports make people roll their eyes.

[9170CaseIH]

@DeAdiSSu3 Muscle beats import ever day is right!!! "Imports are like Tampons..... Every pussy has one!!!"

[59Napoli]

Thanks Stang!! glad you enjoyed, will have to work on the girls and fishnets! loool

[stang650sv]

Thats highly erotic add some girls with fishnets and it's complete!

[westonhunts]

[GoldFich831]

Shifted to early!!! but NICE lookin cars....jealous

[iSkate7104]

fucking Middle east with American cars! And you assholes attack our country? Fuck you, but I love those cars<3

[itsafloater]

@iSkate7104 Just because a certain population of the Middle East doesn't like us doesn't mean the entire Middle East as a whole should be taking the rap.

[59Napoli]

Glad u enjoyed 27429

[27429]

Now that's what I'm talking about. That two v8 engine sounds are orgasmic baby :X Great video man

[ValiantCrazy]

i love those cars!

[muratveli]

I'm suprised the Israelis didn't bomb those cars...

[59Napoli]

Musefan, check your shoe size as it surely indicates your I.Q dude! First of all I am American second of all I am old enough to buy what I want unlike the ignoramuses like you. It's sad that our education system is wasted on teens like you while others around the world envy us for what we have.

[musefan117]

These cars are American so fucking get ur own cars

[MediaWontShow]

@musefan117 lol dude chill they bought them from us, so they own them now..

[bismillahmashallah]

isma3 r these cars still in lebanon? r u close to .. ba3loool?

[demondevid]

hemi rucks

[muscle1983]

They sound awesome!

[marineman410410]

i thought you had to let these cars warm up before you drive them?

[59Napoli]

@marineman410410 Hi no need to warm these babies up their are not sensative like the newer cars. Place gas in them and drop the pedal to the floor and hold on for dear life :-)

Regards,

Napoli

[lawnmowerTim]

@59Napoli no you still need to let them warm up..

[Kawasakiforlife7]

@lawnmowerTim hes a retard, you have to warm these up MORE than new cars

[lawnmowerTim]

@Kawasakiforlife7 ya no kidding its ashame that a dumb ass owns such a car

[Kawasakiforlife7]

@lawnmowerTim hes part of the reason these cars arent around, people not knowing how to treat em

[zeppelin67637]

@Kawasakiforlife7 Wrong, I have 2 Dodge challengers. these cars were built to be beaten. And are easy to repair after you've beaten them half to death haha.

[Kawasakiforlife7]

@zeppelin67637 uh no, actually you are wrong, they are expensive to fix, once you fix em it lessens the value, they arent made to be beaten, they can take more of a beating, but they still arent fuckin tanks. treat your cars right, dont be a piece of shit tool like you sound like

[zeppelin67637]

@Kawasakiforlife7 tool? I'm sorry, I wasn't aware your a 5th grader. I do not find them to be that expensive to repair at all. Try rebuilding a toyota engine with that kind of power, beat on it, then rebuild it. Then you will know what is expensive. Although I just wasted a few seconds trying to teach a 5th grader something. Don't bother replying, I wasn't looking for an argument with a child. Good bye

[Kawasakiforlife7]

@zeppelin67637 yes, im a fifth grader, thats it. even though i have 4 cars, and im a mechanic, im sure im also in fifth grade, fuckin retard

[zeppelin67637]

@Kawasakiforlife7 Keep using 5th grade language skills. Your just proving my point.

[Kawasakiforlife7]

@zeppelin67637 because i swear im a fifth grader? yes, because no one above the age of 12 swears

[zeppelin67637]

@Kawasakiforlife7 No, I'm talking about how your only way of having a conversation is to immediately start calling people names. Seriously, grow up. The original point here was. These two cars in this video are not that super built. If they manage to blow an engine having a little fun. It will not be that hard to fix. You act as if a blown engine, or broken drive shaft on a mostly stock muscle car is a life ending event. I simply said, your wrong, not that hard to repair, or that costly.

[Kawasakiforlife7]

@zeppelin67637 well your buying a muscle car, you want a stock motor? or one someone had to rebuild. exactly

[zeppelin67637]

@Kawasakiforlife7 No ones rebuilding my engines but me .I like knowing whats in there, as a mechanic Im betting you agree. lol

[Kawasakiforlife7]

@zeppelin67637 yes, but thats not what i was saying, im saying if you bought a muscle car, youd want it stock or well done out, blowing it up and breaking things lessens the value of the car even if you fix it

[59Napoli]

Thanks for those real useful words kawasaki, first let me say that the engines on these cars were rebuilt by me about 8 years ago. I run them hard as I know what went into them, also they were designed and built well enough to have lasted this long. Also consider that you see many of them still around but please show me the many Toyotas or Nissans that have aged so gracefuly? On the dumb note enjoy your scooter....

[lawnmowerTim]

@59Napoli still doesnt matter how you build them you have to let them warm up but its your car give er shit buddy!

[Kawasakiforlife7]

@59Napoli WRONG! thats how you blow it up, you need to warm these cars up more than newer cars, you dont start it up and rev the piss out of it

[poo1771]

@59Napoli yeah nice cars dumb drivers

[1986chevylover]

@59Napoli no they still need to be warmed up. its terrible for the bearings to rev the shit out of them cold no matter how old or new it is

[Kawasakiforlife7]

@marineman410410 you do

[hoythunting1]

yeah nothing like a good ol challenger haulin ass and shiftin gears down an open road, and then slamming on the brakes at the end haha

[666blacko]

k2ni shft aloset shy5 from where are u shreek am exited to meet such cars in al shoof

[59Napoli]

@666blacko read the text kheli this is Ras El Matin not el Shouf.

[BLKo2GT]

SWEET RIDES MAN!

[isaiah213]

nice street race and kick ass nice rides

[59Napoli]

Thanks isaiah213,

I need to get some time and race my other cars and upload,

Napoli

[culcun]

59Napoli, are there drag strips in Lebanon? In the middle east? Plus, we are waiting for more videos, especially of your Hemi!!

[59Napoli]

Hi Calcun,

Unfortunatly we do not have any sanctioned drag strips, however up north people use segments of an old unused millitary airport while elsewhere its roads or highways.

Regards,

Napoli

[59Napoli]

@bLoodykNuklz thanks! its at 1000m above sea level in pine mountains

[eragon1518]

how come they have a bunch of nice cars in the arab countries? mabye i will have a visit and teach them how to drive a muscle car like an american

[muscle1983]

@eragon1518 the right question is not why are there american cars outside america but WHY are they such a lot imports in the USA!!!

[MediaWontShow]

@eragon1518 fucking ignorant piece of shit, u'll see more ferraris in dubai in one day than u'll see in a yaer in beverly fucking hills

[HOTROD74GremlinX]

Infidelmobiles. Strange most of the Arab and Middle East hate our guts but LOOVE our Muscle!

[culcun]

@HOTROD74GremlinX a little generalization/exaggeration? I come from an Assyrian/British background, although I was born and raised in the US--my relatives have all migrated to the US, the last about 30 years ago, and all are proud US citizens now; and none of them hated or hate the US. Assyrians are Christian, so that might have to do with some of it, but there are many other Christians there, and, yes, even Muslims, who like our cars and don't wish for our demise.

[HOTROD74GremlinX]

@culcun Yeah I was being kind of sarcastic so sue me.

[culcun]

@HOTROD74GremlinX where do I send the papers? LOL

[Mr70ChallengerRT]

nice cars but i like the 70 challenger r/t

[simonmon667]

what are they doing n lebanon?

[59Napoli]

Hi Simon,

Back between the boom of car making in the US (50's till mid 70's) Lebanon imported many brands of American cars. They were considered the most luxurious cars and the most powerfull too. European models offered alternatives however either lacked muscle ($ per HP) or where undependable long term such as the Rovers, Jaguars etc... American cars were easy to fix and parts were abundant in the country.

Regards,

Napoli

[simonmon667]

@59Napoli thanx i didnt know that

[twinturbo1995]

@59Napoli are their still old school muscle cars like these for sale in lebanon?

[59Napoli]

Hi @twinturbo1995,

Yes there are still some left around however (sadly) they are getting less and less.....

[SPEEDMARSHALL]

OMG !!! one of the best Dodge Challengers video!! pls post more !!

thx!

Mopar Rules !!

[59Napoli]

Many thanks SPEEDMARSHALL ,

Will hopefully post more this summer,

Regards,

Napoli

[Uzi910]

i like that bmw (im pretty sure its e46 if not e39) but the cars too

[sspat1976]

Ya that Bmw is a e46 3 series. I love Mopars and Bmws I have a 1970 dodge challenger T/A clone and a 2001 bmw e39 540i 6 speed M-sport

[morderca95]

bmw suck ass, the older models are likely to have trash electroonics. Mercedes SEL the 80s and 90s one is real masterpiece.

Hell im taking bout euro cars... This challenger is sweet!

[Uzi910]

opinions both are good, e39 was rated 100% for 3 years, e46 was pretty much same,but the generation after was not as good as mercedez,but for most part bmw is atleast as good as mercedes if not better

[ManKidDudeBro]

who the fuck cares about the bmw?! Especially next to a challenger AND a cuda...

[unblockedbridge]

i love the launch and acceleration on a cuda,but the top speed is better on a challenger.

[Tadashi19]

Racing in the streets lol, hear the hard breaking at the end?! Guess there were some pedestrians crossing the streets, who got scared shitless muwahhaha

nice vid btw!

[59Napoli]

@Tadashi19 Glad you enjoyed it :-)

[philidor2005]

I still come back to this video every now and then and smile. Once again, I can't help but fantasize a bit about the idea of having a bit of "musclecar diplomacy!" Imagine new Hemi Challengers roaming the streets of Gaza, how could they say no to that? Well, I suppose Hamas' religious police might say they don't serve any worshipful purpose, but hey, they are there to promote world peace! :D

Anyway, great video. :)

[59Napoli]

Looool thanks Phildor the "MD" is a lot better than the current status quo. Luckily for us in the Lebanon the majority want nothing to do with war and would rather follow other challenges than that of the plight of Gaza etc...

[mustangcharger]

@59Napoli

Hemi Hamas. Sweet. The subtext would be about the mideast oil, but who cares.

[pokemonhunterJ]

Are you part of a Mopar club, Napoli, or do you allow other makes? Were these original export models, or were they more recent arrivals?

[59Napoli]

Hi pokemonhunterJ,

These were all Mopar exports that came to Lebanon in the early 70's as they were very popular back then. No we do not have a Mopar Club but it sounds like a great idea! regards,

Napoli

[dweed2]

gotta show the rest of the world mopar power somehow. why not two challengers in a street race?

[59Napoli]

Thanks dweed, more to follow this summer Hemi-Cuda versus 440 magnum!

[GroupWar]

Why the little "Omer" was so scared when you pointed the camera towards him?

[kriduel]

he probably gets beat, dont judge his parenting skills maybe thats how they learn over there.

[59Napoli]

Hi Kriduel, its amazing the amount of negativity that I see here . is there a real need for this?

[kriduel]

i dunno that facts im just saying it as i see it. who knwos it was just a joke alright

[deek388466]

[ouwat4life]

where in lebanon is this?

[carmine440]

Glad to see you enjoying the cars... I'm a Detroiter that works for Chrysler. Years ago I came across a 1975 Dodge catalog written in Sanskrit. I knew they sold Mopars in the middle-east, but it's still a rare piece of paper in the US! Would love to visit and check out the whole American car scene.

Anybody driving the big New Yorkers/Imperials over there? What does a gallon of gas run?

[59Napoli]

Hi Carmine,

There are a few "big boats" still around mostly with 383's and a few 440 TNT engines in them. Gas in Lebanon is not less expensive than the US as its imported (@ $3/gal). Dodge/Chryslers advertised heavily in the region back in the early 70's and had good sales so I am sure there had litrature in the various languages for the different regions of the world they marketed.

[Ratmouth66]

haha awsome to see Mopar vs. Mopar for a change, too many people are getting caught up in proving something against the other brands that they forget its all for fun anyways

And by the way, i guess this proves why the Hemi was made so famous, LOL, why do you think people know the sound of a Hemi's exhaust so well? Well of course, cause they were behind it the whole time, LOL!

[59Napoli]

Thanks Ratmouth66,

you hit the nail on the head people forget about the fun these big beasts brought to all those who had a chance to drive them. The Hemi just puts out gobs of torque and has the sound to back it.

Thanks again!

Regards,

Napoli

[59Napoli]

Halla TJurdy

I didnt see the Charger in Falougha but you can ask about it. But there is a Charger in your town (black in colour) that he has been trying to sell for a while but I beleive its a 69.

[tjurdi911]

hi napoly i have a 1974 challenger 440

i'm searching for 1968 charger

Do you think the owner of the 68 440 charger in fallougha wants to sell it?

what's the color of the car?

[59Napoli]

Yes we do Sdlausen, we have many muscle cars. Many of my friends own a car or two and are either driving them or in midst of restoring them. They have a great following in Lebanon,

Regards,

Napoli

[sdlausen]

WOW! I would have never thought Lebanon would have classic American muscle cars. Great Video!

[59Napoli]

Hi Mrgears,

We ran both cars several times, the elvevation is at about 1,000m above sea level which wasnt ideal for these cars. The Hemi (green challenger) ran better times all around but was slower on first gear. The 340-with W2 heads was faster off the ground but didnt have he torque in 2nd and 3rd. Given time this summer I will be running my 71 Hemicuda against my other 71 440 Challenger. Thanks again for your comments

[Boredout454]

Im glad you guys like our Muscle cars. Unlike many European's who look down upon them, they are a treasure and part of our history and culture. Many Euro's dont realize that these cars were for the every day guy and that even today many of these can beat some of Europe's best and most expensive cars. And once modified, which is cheap to do in the US and easy, will beat most things on the planet. Keep those cars safe!

[NightFightah]

I hear that bro. These cars are awesome, I can barely drive right now but as soon as I can afford it I'm finding me an old Mopar, prefrebly a Challenger 440/340 T/A but I'd be tempted by a Plymouth Roadrunner/GTX as well. I love these old cars, I'll be heading out to a massive drag race meeting in a few weeks, can't wait! Massive respect to you guys out there in Leb, enjoying classic muscle how it should be enjoyed!

[59Napoli]

Hi NightFightah,

We have drag racing here but unfortunatly its limitted (unlike the US). Still there is no sweeter sound than that of an American V-8, they just built them right!. Good luck with your Roadrunner purchase its a great looking car.

Regards,

Napoli

[NightFightah]

Yeah, I hear that. It's pretty limited here in the UK, the only real drag race meets we have are the big proffessional meets with funny cars/rails and that, which I dont really like - I prefer cars like yours racing up the 1/4 mile. Went to the Mopar Euronationals a week or so ago, the biggest Mopar meeting in Europe, was an amazing day as always, saw some beautiful Roadrunners (sadly none for sale) and some amazing cars racing, and you're right, the sound is awesome! I'm working on a video of

[NightFightah]

the event (damn comment limit), will post it up in a week or so.

I hear you on the American V8 too, lots of peopel I know rip into me because I like muscle cars, saying they can't handle and stuff like that, but I honestly don't care - people like supercars, other people like tuner cars, but I love muscle cars, simply for that sheer raw acceleration and engine roar :)

[59Napoli]

Thanks NightFighta, I think you put it best when you said people like all sorts of cars, some are refined some handle but have little power but nothing beats the unadultarated sheer raw of an American Muscle Cars....especialy Mopars! Look forward to seeing your Mopar Meet video when you post let me know,

Regards,

Napoli

[TheREGISMarkV]

Anyone who doesn't like the pure testosterone mammoth roar of say a 572cid open header big block needs to look down and see if they have lost their fucking manhood or something.

[59Napoli]

Thanks Boredout, they are real sought after even in Lebanon. Most people who grew up with them here love to own one. We scournge parts from wherver we can get parts....

[mrgears]

The green Challenger got nothing out of 1st gear then sounded like he went right into 3rd? Hard to tell which car skipped a gear.

[mrgears]

The hemi (green) challenger didn't sound like he was trying very hard... he got no RPMs out of first gear and let 2nd do most of the work. i.e. he could have won by a larger margin

[adokenk3nnbasil]

wow nice cars...

i like the green one

[MrChallenger426]

hemi426 . webs . com

[MrChallenger426]

Hi Uncle Nabil, iam Nour , Maher EL Kasem Son, I hope ur good ? i did a website for my dad, check it out,

[MrChallenger426]

nice video

[NoLongerFooled]

Did the black car shift too soon?

[59Napoli]

Hi LF, I couldnt get the black car into second but the Hemi would have won once it got into 3rd gear nothing stays with it. :-)

[mederic999]

Response to Youdragon: FYI, half of the cars in Lebanon in the 50's 60's and 70's were American, my father had an '71 AMC Javelin SST that he bought brand new...

[mederic999]

Hayde sayyarat! There was plenty of those muscle cars on the Lebanese roads in the early 70's

[59Napoli]

Merci Mederic,

missed your message and yes you are very right we had a lot of muscle cars back in the old days :-)

[francosallietti]

OH YEAH! HEMI POWER

[tom03570]

nice smoke em if you can!

[butterp7]

Why are these cars over in Lebanon of all places.

[59Napoli]

Becuase they sold American cars all over the world butterp7. same way you find pepsi and coke in China etc....

[youdragon]

they shoudent even have the cars outside the states

[FalconXE302]

They shouldn't have them outside the states... ????? what planet are you from.

Here in Australia, we have literally thousands of American cars... many really old ones... a mate of mine just imported a 57 Chev.

Should we not have American cars also?...
