- Kicking off the first race of a new West Coast RUclips Street Car Challenge against a beautiful 1970 Dodge Challenger with a 5.7 Hemi and TR6060 swap. The Dart hasn’t seen the track in at LEAST a decade! Just a quick oil change, and I was off to the track!

It was an honor to line with that big block beast sir. Gotta do some work on my Challenger before round 2
Same here No Bolts! That Challenger is a beautiful car. Great job on the powertrain swap. Looks very clean and well thought out.
Man! That thing is a monster!
This content is what I have always wanted to watch on RUclips. I love how you couldn’t really tell who was going to win, as well as how much faster Dorothy was than what we thought. GREAT videos guys.
Thanks you. Means a lot. Looking forward to cranking out some follow up videos as the series continues 🤙🏻
Oh yeah! That Big Block is a Monster. Doorthy went as much as 2.2 seconds slower on the hard tire. I can’t imagine how much ET you’re loosing in traction.
I’ll get to see the difference in tire this upcoming Friday 😬
Cool video series! I was wondering if you would be able to launch in 2nd, then go 3,4. Definitely have the torque as long as it doesn’t bog enough to die. Sweet car, buddy!
Thanks Joe! Haven’t thought about launching in 2nd. Visiting the track this Friday again. Gona give it a shot. Shooting to get this dart comparable to that beautiful fish of yours lol
@@sorta_stock that’d be awesome! Cope Racing transmissions will be open on Monday. You’re gonna have to get an automatic!
@JustMoparJoe 🤢. 727 vs 833 it is then lol
Awesome video man! I don't know how we're going to catch you!!!
Love the Dart!!! 🚦🔥🏁
Nice runs Sorta Stock.
Your Dart is awesome.
You guys look like you had a great time.
Have a good evening. 👍
I appreciate it Ed. We definitely had a blast. We’re going to the track again this upcoming Friday for round 2 👍🏻
Sweet! Good job out there. That's one fast mopar
Thanks man! I didn’t get a chance to watch your Nova run. Next time 🤙🏻
@@sorta_stock yessiirrr next time maybe I'll be in the lane next to you
Lol
@@PontiacRaysGarage what's funny? You don't think I got enough to hang?
@@infamousnova 👀 👁 😵 🥴
Awesome race car man.
Nothing quite like an old muscle car with high compression and a nice loopy cam 🙌🏻
Good for you guys getting out having FUN !
I run a '69 B-Body Mopar full pop weight at 3,900 Lbs with me in it, el cheapo Hyd Flat Tappet Cam 440/Auto 3,500 stall through 4:10's and 28" Tall Tires.... runs great in traffic/cruising and actually gets really good fuel economy.... best at the track is 11.92 @ 114 mph.
Questions:
how come you guys run 4 speeds/sticks ?
and
do you have scattershields to protect your Toes ? or just 50+ year old aluminum Bell Housings ?
because you might wanna see some Pics of my friends Car recently.... NOT pretty !
Anyways....
no dis intended, THX for sharing ! just stay safe and in my view Autos/Convertor are waaay faster !
I honestly just picked the Dart up within the last month so, I’m just now getting to learn it. While I most-likely would’ve got with a 727 for a drag build, I’ve gotta say, this 4 speed is a blast to race. It’s got an aftermarket belhousing so, I’m hoping there’s some extra protection there. He’s running a new TR6060 6-spd
11.92 is a great time with those specs. 28” slicks I presume?
@@sorta_stock
ET Street Drag Radial at that time, they hook very well and good for 1.7's 60 Ft !
It's still clock real low12 teens 's easily on Street Tires., albeit, can't get the launch(1.80's 60ft) critical to breaking into the 11's unless I use the ET streets.
Just a XE284H Cam and honest 10:1 with Ported Stealth Heads which Dyno'd at 530HP and 540 Ft/Lbs.... very nice street manners/characteristics, doesn't overheat even on hot days, runs really well with the great Track E.T.'s ..... which to be honest here, the 'trick' is shifting 5,500 rpm and letting the Torque move the heavy Car !
Again, Thx for sharing yours !
@@dirtlump just picked up some ET Street Rs for a set of steelie wheels set aside for the dart. Hoping to see comparable times to your setup 👍🏻
@@sorta_stock
Don't be surprised if it gets traction and then BOGS as a result ?
That.... or you start finding the next weakest link parts-wise breaking stuff attempting Clutch Dumps at higher rpms trying to overcome that Bog ?
NOT trying to be a harbinger of Bad News....
just say'in....
I spent a long time attempting to Drag Race with 833's behind both small and BB's decades ago.... broke damn near everything at least twice inclusive of sliding clutches to get outa the hole !
They are FUN to drive on the street... NO question !
But NOTHING beats the Torque Multiplication of an Auto/Stall setup in a budget Brackets/Drag Car..... unless you're spending $10+K "libertizing' that 833 it'll always be slower at the strip !
That 'Dead Dodge Garage' will figure it out eventually as well.
NO OFFENSE...., Great Car and Thx for sharing !
Did I miss mention of incrementals? Or are we keeping that under wraps for the time being? 😉
In any case, this Dart is cool! Can't wait to see it on Slicks!
Each pass was indeed a full second faster 🫣. Excited to throw some slicks on it and she how she does.
After watching so many "drag racers" on RUclips I realized my sister tesla model y would smoke the majority of them.
A majority…probably. Raced a Model Y last year with my Junkyard built ‘68 Dart. Quick cars for sure. I’d put money down that my ‘69 Dart with better tires would take a W from one of those. Only racing with these tires as the series requires it.
Not starting 1st try, not looking stupid…a U-Haul trailer at the drags, well you know…lol
lol got a lovely HOA that’s keeping me from getting my own trailer. Hopefully not for too much longer
Did you upgrade from the 2nd gen ram you had?
I sure did. Sold the ‘99 back in January. My daily is now an ‘07 1500 Mega Cab (basically a 2500 with a 1500 badge)
@@sorta_stock Nice
What track is that?
It’s actually Willow Springs. They shutdown their road course and use the straightaway for drag racing.
@@sorta_stock thanks, that sure was a long drive.
Warm up wins don't count hemi boy.
Love the Dart....old school wins the day!
Yeah well, your Dart has weight advantage over the Challenger. And in my opinion the Gen 3 Hemi is overrated!
The cars are currently within 100 lbs of each other. Definitely some weight to trim off the Dart though.
