The Fastest Car on Earth Pt 1

[atulgokuyamaha7]

OLD JAPANESE PEOPLE WERE AMAZING THEIR NES GAMES WERE UNBEATABLE,ANIMATORS WERE BEST IN THE WORLD JUST LOOK AT DRAGON BALL Z CAN ANYONE DO THIS NOW..... HELL NOOOOOOO

[ProfessorIgor]

they are using a Detroit 6-71 diesel 2 stroke engine sound AND a top fuel dragster sound for the GRX...

[flauretta]

this car reminds of the koenigsegg agera R...

[SOswim1]

does anyone else agree that the 1967 GRX is better looking than the 2008 GRX?

[BMan100]

if it was real. that would mean the GRX was and would still be FASTER than A Veyron SS

[Crazcompart]

Some of the newly-designed 2012 concepts look a bit like this fantasy monster...That's a scary thought...

[CoolasIce2]

That Chim Chim can muthafuckin' drive a go cart!!!

[PepperWhite62]

I have always wondered what engine sound was used for the Mach 5 in the opening credits? Anyone got any ideas?

[rebeledvid]

I always liked the design of the GRX better than the Mach 5. It looks like an arrow and sounds like a P-51 or ME-109. If you're also a GRX fan, don't see the live action Speed Racer movie; they turned their GRX into a teenage mutant ninja joke. It's all about the engine Ben Cranum (not "Bent Cranium") built and the car Oriana Flub (or Norma Desmond) had built to instaall it into. Like jalil124 I think it sounds even better than the Mach 5. Faster, too.

[BMan100]

@rebeledvid the movie was a hash, 

[MrArlew1]

OMG that was Meth they used to be able to drive that car LOL!!

[PepperWhite62]

Speed looks like he's in deep shit here.

[porechatot]

@PepperWhite62 Yupp

[PepperWhite62]

Speed had that frigger in a high speed broad slide at 2:47 why he applied the brake in the middle of the turn on a closed course is beyond me, and Pop never broke a sweat. WTF you know any race car builder /father is going to give their boy hell. I have always had less respect deep down for Speed after first seeing this video in 1969 on the UHF channel.

[CLShadow5114]

Any car fans out there! Can someone please tell me what engine is being used for the SFX of the GRX engine?! I looked everywhere online and can't find anyone who can place the sound of that motor, so please, does anyone know what Engine is being used for the GRX?

[jdog942]

@CLShadow5114 The Idling and reving of the GRX was from a 427 Chevy dragster.

And I belive the SFX used when the GRX is flying by on the race track is from a 440 Doge mopar.

I always thought it was kind of weird using to different sounds for the GRX. I know an old guy who

use to work on the sound effects and voicing for speed racer. And he says thats what they used.

[CLShadow5114]

@jdog942 Thank you so much! I wonder why information like that is always so hard to find these days! People really should know the engines and sounds that made speed racer so memorable! At least now one car's engine (or this case engines) are now known! And again, thank you!

[mcmlxvi]

@jdog942 That's interesting because when the series was bought by Trans-Lux back in 1967 they dubbed the voices but I never heard of any redoing to the music or the SFX tracks so with all due respect to your old friend I don't see how he can possibly know what the Japanese used. I do agree with you it sounds like a 427 Chevy dragster. However, the sound of the car running is a 2 propeller airplane in flight. I grew up near an airbase in the 60's and I know that sound very well.

[Yesterdays92]

I watched Speed Racer every day, hoping this would be the episode that would come on!

[Fox3Tears]

At the end it was almost like Speed was high.

Oh My Gosh, he was probebly high on the drug speed!

Drugs are bad; never do them.

[Fox3Tears]

15:08 Good Lord, LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THOSE EYE LASHES!!!

[DaveWollenberg]

Why have we got a womens' product ad? We men watch these vids, too! Give us equal time with the pre-vid ads!

[jdog942]

Guys, I worked as a janitor about a month ago at West coast customs. And a customer who was a speed racer fannatic came in with the blue prints to this exact GRX. The Guy wanted Ryan Friedlinghaus to build him the GRX body with a corvette chassy. Ryan also said he wanted to install a 572 Chevy crate motor in the GRX replica. I don't know if it was ever built, it would be wicked if someone posted it.

[syntonik]

Don't know why, but at 4:18, I just wanna break out into "daddy would you like some sausage?" :)

[sbmrunning]

lol....."PUT ME DOWN POPS YOU SQUEEZE TOO HARD !" LOL

[neneshubby]

All right! Thats it! I am going to officially have my named legally changed to "Cruncher Block". But you guys can call me Notorius.

[LooneyTunerIan]

Anyone know what this episode is about?

[mcslowlife]

grx sounds like a plane

[TheLocoUnion]

Speed on speed! LOL!

[Nikkodemis]

Wicked cam in that engine

[camcuber]

lol he shifted into first around 21:00 going so fast :P

[camcuber]

@camcuber nevermind i didn't see that he was driving on the right

[boonpole84]

I just want to thank Tatsuo Yoshida for creating the idea of "Speed Racer" or should I say, Mach Go Go Go!. I also want to thank Shueisha Sun Wild Comics: Fusosha, Now Comics, DC Comics, Mr.Toshio Tanigami, Mr.Hiroshi Sasagawa, and Fuji TV. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart and to all of the hearts of the Speed Racer fans! If it wasn't for you guys, there would be no Speed Racer and a Speed Racer cult.You guys helped created and spawn the American Anime and deserve the greatest respect!

[Dwane5335]

For the fastest car on earth, it doesn't look as intimidating. Sure sounds like it though.

[seroyer2]

What this hell kind of grave yard has big block buried in it.

[blacqwolff]

this was the only car that speed couldn't beat .the GRX is the FASTEST car on earth.but the MACH 5 is still the car to beat!

[Bernie755]

This is my favorite episode of speed racer the GRX is fuckin beast but the Mach 5 is my favorite

[09Voltron]

Yeah you gotta love how ALL the episodes of Speed Racer are commercial free! I thought only funny cars had parachutes coming out of them.

[Hanniker]

Looks like at 22:00 Speed is going into a phenomenon called "highway hypnosis"...

[TheSpelldoctor]

Ah childhood...the only thing missing is Astroboy and Ultraman.

[josrafael]

GRX PARKING ONLY !!! No Mach 5 allowed ! Mach 5 and others will be towed and fined.

[josrafael]

The GRX is so much better than the Mach 5 ! As a little boy, I was a Cub Scout. My childhood Pinewood Derby car is the GRX !!! My GRX was supposed to be gold or yellow, like the one on TV, but had to be painted blue, because we could not get gold or yellow paint on time. My GRX won, and won a medal.

[josrafael]

The GRX is so much better, hotter, and sharper than the rather bland, sluggish, and (*ho-hum*) politically correct Mach 5. I prefer the GRX over the Mach 5 any day ! Pops Racer wants to destroy the GRX engine, ha ha ha ha... Fat chance ! Pops Racer, get a life ! Ha ha ha ha...

[cruncher0Blochead]

the female villain,Msz.Gloriana Flux reminds me of one of my ex-girlfriends, I like her doggie too! the sound of the GRX is mesmorizing, i wish i had one !

[josrafael]

@cruncher0Blochead Wish you had one ? I own some: My childhood Cub Scout Pinewood Derby one, my JL normal one, my JL White Lightning chase car one, and a few others. All I need is the V-Gas.

[yogafan6500]

@cruncher0Blochead So would i friend. She looks a lot like Angelina Jolie from the hit film Salt. What a bod she has.

[Treblaine]

2:13 now that is some dramatic sheeit!

[yogafan6500]

The GRX, is the most lethally made auto ever made. Great classic episode i've ever seen and it's very suspenseful. 

[mofunzonecom]

the grx sounds like a rotary

[RaceKing62]

@mofunzonecom really? because to me it sounds like an Audi R10 TDI. (diesel, btw)

[mofunzonecom]

@RaceKing62 im not stupid i know what tdi is

[josrafael]

@mofunzonecom  No, it does NOT sound like a rotary. It sounds much better than a rotary. It sounds like a WWII German Luftwaffe fighter jet, just the way I like it !!

[elwin38]

@josrafael ME-262, ME163 Komet

[Ryoku75]

@elwin38 More like a Messerchmit 109 or Folk Wulf, the GRX sounds more like a prop plane.

[neneshubby]

Its perfectly sensible that there might be ghosts of certain cars.

[tallgeese1]

Ditto on the sound of the engine. Now that I'm an adult, I know its the recording of a prop plane. But linked with the cartoon, the GRX WAS THE BOMB!!!...says the now 43 year old man.

[donhol17]

yes, the awesome sound of the engine is almost hypnotic.....incredible...soun­ds almost like an airplane....

[theone111830]

The spook cemetery?  Really?

[ViciousV17]

I like Fast Cars., Awesome wheels!!

Drive fast take chances !!

[EmeraldDragon93]

He's sleep-driving?! :o

[epimetheus2k10]

japanese cartoon..

[GUSTAV1CC]

"water, i gotta have some water!!!!"

[SparksterMk1]

So cringeworthy

[drosselmeyer69]

lol crazy flashlight action at 1:47

[JeefCakes]

lol wtf

[biblebeliever01]

@drosselmeyer69 lol

[theannoyingbird]

I've NEVER DRIVEN SO FAST IN MY LIFE- THIS SPEED IS TAKING ME IN TO ANOTHER DIMENSION!

[XxCWingxX]

2007 SSC Ultimate Aero TT and the Bugatti Veyron goes faster than that

[StarFoxAutobot]

Keep in mind this show is almost 43 years old.

[jalil124]

love the sound of the engine,sounds even better than the mach 5.

[ken936]

lol, So does speed :D

[samuraifugitivo]

@jalil124 sounds like a p51

[crispycritterz]

@samuraifugitivo It does sound like the Merlin engine on the run-up stand doesn't it?

[samuraifugitivo]

@crispycritterz yep!

[jdog942]

@jalil124 Finally, I'm not the only one who thinks that.

[donhol17]

we need to acquire this engine for the 17 car so we not only make the chase but win the whole damn thing!!!!!!!!!

[Maximara]

The bigger laugh is thanks to the English dub the Mammoth Car is FASTER. LOL

[TheSeeker26]

Lol - some super/hypercars from nowadays manage 400+kmh (~250Mph), but without distorting the spacetime-continuum :D

And still have normal brakes btw
