Nope, the musclecar was born in 1964 with the Pontiac GTO. The last musclecar of the classic era was the '74 Pontiac Trans Am with a Super Duty 455, but some may argue that it was the '79 Pontiac Trans Am with the W-72 400.

Ain't that the truth. My 67 GS, or that 70 Daytona sitting in a junkyard. Or the 65 Mustang a man had me remove the Shelby Intake and Carb from because it was to fast for his daughter. I'm 99% sure that was a Shelby Engine from a Hertz car. Or my biggest regret, the 68 Dan Gurney Courgar with a 427 4 speed, sitting in a junkyard, with the front end off of it and the engine in the barn. $500 the man offered it to me for. That was around 78-79. I was 14-15. Dad said "Nope! Too fast!" The 70 Judges, Gs, GTO, 442,. The 1970 Chevelle SS 454 and man offered to sell me for $1,100 around 82. I still love cars from 59-72 mostly today.

That's right, today's engines have far more power for their displacement, thanks to computer technology. E.g. a naturally aspirated 3.6L (219 cubic inch) chevy V6 has 335 hp net np, which is more net hp than any V8 engine noted in the video. And remember that all hp figures quoted in the video are gross, i.e.. with the engine alone on a stand with nothing connected to it. Subtract ~30% for net hp.

Challenger and Cuda were included. It's possible that no Mustang 428 CJ or Boss 429 was included as most mags would have tested that in 1969 and had no need to test it again in 1970 as nothing changed. Trans Am did change for 1970 but would not make this channel's list as they ran low-14s. Camaro did not have enough motor either, best mid- to high-14s. Key here is reliance on magazine tests, so if a magazine did not test a car/motor combo in 1970 then there's nothing to base 1/4-mile time on.

1970 was the peak, not the birth. It was downhill after that starting in '71. Some say it started with the '32 V8 Ford, some the '49 Olds Rocket 88 with the 303 V8, some the '55 Chrysler 300 with the Hemi or the '64 GTO. I'm sure there were others taking claim well before 1970. Take your pick & feel free to discuss.

The Stage 2 doesn't count! Not an assembly line produced engine, the parts were available only at select dealerships and extremely rare. The cars on this list were all production line vehicles for the general public to purchase. Using your logic then, there were many cars faster than the Hemi Cuda and the Stage 2, including the Yenko built cars, Berger built cars etc. If you want to get technical, there were a few Chevy dealerships installing "warmed over" L-88 427 big blocks into Novas in 1970, but they too really don't count.

The Boss didn't have the bottom end grunt for drag racing, nor did it have enough breathing at 429 ci for drag work. It was designed for, and did very well in, NASCAR. Where the Boss did well in drag racing was with a blower, blown on nitro it was in its glory, and Ohio George managed to get NHRA to ban his twin turbo on nitro funny car. Modern examples, such as the Boss 9's, at 5oo+ ci bring the beast alive because those HUGE ports and valves work oh so well to feed those big cubes, far better then at 429 ci. My family has run the Boss and I learned from them. If you have a Cammer question those are what I know best.

@chadhaire1711 Mine is only 300hp. There are many variables involved as to why this is. The torque transfer is different. Also, the way horsepower is gauged is different. The facts that cars today are SIGNIFICANTLY lightly and more aerodynamic play a huge role. Fuel injection and turbos play a large part in launch and execution. Overall, I never thought we would see fast cars again after all the massacres and fails of the 70s and 80s
