Let’s face it: Nothing beats the sound of an unmuffled race Hemi. Turn up your speakers and close your eyes.

I might make this my new ringtone.

That is all.

It definitely sounds extremely...powerful? I don’t think I’d say it sounds good anymore...

I think V8s sound best when properly muffled, like a nice exhaust on an LS.

Steve, I need your opinions on this story I posted. Or use it for a future article.

The wing car siblings look awesome in race trim. As restored original cars they look a bit goofy.

They’re an acquired taste. I like the Daytonas a bit more than the Superbirds.

Was scrolling down fast and thought I saw “Early morning semi”. Thought for a fraction of a second someone posted about their morning wood. The truth was much better. Thanks.

Sound is a form of energy. Wasted energy. Just ask Ulrich Baretzky.

Which is why race cars are always so quiet?

Obligatory.

The sound of that 7 liter Hemi echoing off the high banks from almost a mile away makes my spine tingle every time.

Dumb question of the Day: Why is the idle so high?

You’ll notice that he is holding the idle there. When it first kicks, it idles slower and then he gasses it and holds it. I assume he was doing that to warm it up. It was a chilly morning in Atlanta.

The previous statement has been rendered invalid. Also love the startup, reminds me of primus.

I’ll let the Hemi speak for itself.

A Cuda and a Torino went by around that point. A Superbird goes by at :08.

Cue the Folgers jingle:

The best part of waking up...is a Hemi in your cup!

Or something like that.

Yes, he tried to let it idle on it’s own but would have probably stalled. Sounded like a big cam in there, nothing better than the sound of a big cam at idle in a pushrod V8.

Just saw this on Sunday when we were wandering around SEMA before it opened. Petty’s personal car. Was really cool to see.

I wonder which one that is. I rode in this one a couple weeks ago.
