All this crap about HP is funny since HP sells engines and Torque wins races.

[sdconcepts]

@heartfanjim01

torque x 5250 = HP's....takes torque to make horsepower....

@dunhillsupramk3 really? I don't see any japanese cars from the 50's and 60's that are still running. 

[specops1991]

@Eclipse1988 Oh yeah because Japan made cars during the 50's that were quality. You realize that was 5 years after a MASSIVE war and 2 nukes....Maybe the reason you dont see a car from then is because they were more focused on rebuilding their ENTIRE nation, than building cars for the people that just bombed the living fuck out of them.

@heartfanjim01 Horsepower is really pulling power. That is what propels a vehicle at high speeds. Torque is more associated with pulling power at low speeds, such big heavy duty truck hauling trailers.

@SrtKillz12345 Hey, guess what, the challenger is set up for drag racing, i've seen these types of cars blow everyone else away at road courses too though, and as for gas, the 383/400 big blocks had a small block stroke, meaning better fuel economy, I got an average of 16 mpg highway with my 400 and that was before the rebuild so blow it out your ass, have a good one.

One kid has been arguing on here for a month what a loser.

[SirKowalski666]

Hey sdconcepts, i'm rebuilding a mopar 400 big block and I wanted that 4th gear overdrive like seen here, does the trannie in this video bolt to the 383/400 block directly? Or do I need some sort of adapter plate etc.? Please reply, I have more questions on this matter.

Nice car

[Eclipse1988]

@specops1991 You're correct, I didn't think of that. Guess it's just ANOTHER thing we did right.

[Eclipse1988]

@SrtKillz12345 "And by the way" I really don't need it explained to me that there are cars in existence that can out handle muscle cars, LOL. They were notorious for having bad handling and bad brakes. If you want a nice cruiser, you can drive a classic muscle car just fine, and look great! The car in this video is FAR from stock. Don't tell me you need a 1,100hp crazy ass performer, to go places and look classy. Anyway, enough.

[Eclipse1988]

@SrtKillz12345 C.) Ok, now you're just saying the same shit as the other dickhead, stop copying! Yes, we microwaved the fish heads, I get it. That still doesn't mean they didn't have cars until after the 50's.

Finally, that brings me to this... My original comments were based on which cars were more timeless, and built more solid. So I have no idea where you found it valid to start speaking to me of performance as if we're gonna race them all.
