A 1/4 mile ride in Joel Nystroms Hemi 4 speed GTX

Mike Kamm sat in the back seat of my 67 Plymouth GTX, an original 30,000 mile Hemi 4 speed car, while I carefully baby it down Norwalks 1/4 mile dragstrip. This pass was run on original style G70-14 bias ply tires, so there was tire spin. Thats why I had to back pedal a little in 1st and the shift light never went off in 2nd. I had the light set to come on at 6500 rpm, but wasn't shifting untill 7000. This was a mid 11 second pass at about 124 mph.

That lttle red light on the dash is my shift light. It never shut off in 2nd gear, due to tire spin. I had to shift too soon, or over rev the motor. This pass was run on stock G70-14 bias ply tires. They don';t hook to good behind a Hemi!

@TheYoungTurds1 Kids these days dont know crap about cars or engine's. The Hemi was purpose built to be a high RPM engine just as the L88,ZL-1 and LS6 BB Chevy's and the Boss 429 BB from Ford. These were built from the factory as a race engines but slightly detuned for street use. It's not like today when you have to throw $10K into a car in order to get 500+HP. Back in the old days 500HP came from the factory,not a Summit catalog!

Man that is awesome. Nice car!

@TechMaven Insurance is the reason the BS low ratings insurance companies stuck it to certain cars back then because of its power package just like they do to the tuners today.

@MikeSuperH ive heard of turn key muscle cars run 11.5sec (l88 corvette and hemi cuda) WITHOUT POWER ADDERS LIKE a SUPERCHARGER or a TURBO or TWO extra cylinders. they will not make factory muscle anymore...shoot the gremlin X pulled the wheels in the air. FACTORY.

Everyone is a genius on youtube.. Just enjoy the damn video, FFFFFUUUUUUUUUU

@SOFSoldier1 They just had a demo on Speed television, showing the TRUE horsepower ratings from the 426 Hemi.

NOTHING other than Ford's Boss 429 came close to the hemi's 580 Horsepower!

NOTHING.. but believe what you want...

There is a saying.. no replacement for Displacement.

[SOFSoldier1]

@WPGinterceptor the 426 Hemi in stock trim dyno's at around 400-420 HP. The new 392 Hemi, factory rated at 470 HP, dynos between 420-432 RWHP

[WPGinterceptor]

@TechMaven yes that was stock! and to the tires (Net) that was 450

[TechMaven]

@WPGinterceptor Not stock it wasn't ..Rated like todays engines, a stock 67 Hemi makes about 360 net horsepower. Later Hemi's put out up to 50hp more.

Sorry, but today's factory high performance cars such as the ZR1, Dodge Viper, 2012 GTR would dust these old muscle cars. Hell, even a stock LS1 Z28 from 10 years ago would beat most of them.

hell yea
