Barely and rarely did the Cheetah hit the red line. Front end seemed quite light at times though. Coasted through most of the time. Fifty year difference between the two!!!
On the last lap and final straight, I'd estimate the driver upshifted at or around 6,500 rpm and during that segment pulled 8 to 10 lengths on the Nissan. Better tire compound would have allowed the torque to transfer... I'm still proud to have "Almost" ridden along for those laps.
Driver isn't pushing this car hard at all. Coasting a lot and breaking very early for the curves. The car is capable of much more than this video shows.
Nissan has all the gear,driver has no idea! Let’s be realistic here;-with a pro driver in it,that GTR would have blown the doors off the Cheetah,much as it pains me to say it.(AWD,Anti-lock brakes,traction control,limited slip diffs,comparable output power-the list goes on,but the main drawback is the nut behind the wheel!)😂
☑️ Yeah, and that's not to mention: 👉 no "all wheel drive", 👉 no twin turbos, 👉 no double overhead cam, 👉 no 4 valves per cylinder, 👉 no computer aided ignition timing 👉 no electronic fuel injection, 👉 no 4 wheel, antilock, multi-piston disc brakes(this car has 4 wheel manual DRUM brakes no less)!
Doors would blow open at speed due to air pressure build-up from underneath, some Cheetahs have bodywork cut-outs to relieve this problem. Remember, one hit 215mph at Daytona!
A talented Cheetah driver handling a monster machine . If he had the GTR with it's far superior handling, he would have wiped the floor with the other driver within a minute.
The Nissan driver was (almost) always out on wrong lines. This vid shows even a poorer driver can compete with better equipment. I'd much rather a Cheetah, but the GTR is a beast!
A car is only as good as a driver makes it. This driver was very cautious even the guy getting groceries past him. 🤦🏽♂️ but it was entertaining. Thanks for posting.

I run a Trans Am GT1 and come across this all the time. Cars, especially street cars, have gotten a whole lot faster. And they have nannies (anti-lock, yaw control, traction control, etc.). This is because the manufacturers want to sell product. Walter Rohrl (look him up...if you dare) has commented that it took a lot more skill in his time to go fast than in modern cars. When I practice (VIR) I cannot tell you how many times I've had Techno-boobs in 4WD, "supercars," tailgate me on the fist lap (or 2) tailgate me until I give them a point-by. And every single, after my tires have warmed up, I catch every single one of them. Technology is a wonderful thing. It has solved many problems and made our lives safer and richer. But in road racing there is a link between simplicity and skill that cannot be abrogated. The less, "BS," you have on your car the lighter it is and the more you have to rely on yourself. There are lessons here.
Wow, what a race! The driver of the Cheeta is an animal. I kept thinking he's holding back on the throttle, always smoothly easing in to it. Sure enough when he gets pissed off at being cut off at the corner he always tries to pass the GTR at for the third time (8:15 in and again about 10 mins in) he floors it. The back tires break loose and the tail is whipping back and forth...and...he... rode... it...out with his foot planted. Damn what balls! (and skill) Cheeta's are no joke. They were designed to take down the Cobra. They were capable of GT40 (big block version) top speeds depending on gearing. That's 240 mph back in the 60's before modern aerodynamics became a known factor or modern tires were available. A front mid-engined V8 with such a short wheelbase that the trans bolts to the diff and the drive sits over the axel. Must be just over or just under 2,000 lbs. With a built V8 and rear drive only it took a driver of some skill just to drive one at speed, let alone take on and take down a modern all-wheel drive supercar with every advanced computerized traction enhancment currently possible. The fastest I've driven around a track was in a mind blowing Jaguar Project 8 (which was surprisingly comfortable). The Jag was a beast with it's power and traction and pulled harder out of corners then anything that comes to mind, including the new electric supers. I surprised a few people (in a good way) but it wasn't really that hard. My 95 yr old mother could post good track times in one. It just doesn't take the same level of driving skill to go fast in a modern AWD supercar that is a requirement (or you just die) that a Cheeta demands. The GTR welcomes it's driver with a light show and music from it's sound system " Come on in. Let's Party and have fun. Just floor it and steer, I'll do the rest!" What does the Cheeta tells it's driver? It depends on it's mood.... It could say "Don't even think about it". Or, "Touch me and I will fuck you up!" Or, "I'm going to rip your head off and shit down down your throat!" You can tell it's one of my dream cars. I'd love to find a half finished kit for a price I could afford... Just to be clear to anyone who hasn't driven over powered rear wheel drive and any of the modern AWD super sedans, supercars... No-no-no comparison between the skill needed to drive a GTR to the limit or a Cheeta.
Perhaps stack two or three, or find one of the same shape that’s taller? Then find a rear-opening “mailbox” fairing to cover it, like some Ferraris had in the mid-sixties? Note: going to a taller air-filter was something I did in the past to deal with the dust-storms of San Bernardino county many years ago. Before doing so, I’d need new air filters every few thousand miles…. Later, when I did so, I found that it gave a noticeable performance boost, too, especially when the stock filter housing choked airflow off especially bad. It was just about 3/8 of an inch higher than the stocker, such that the lid had a small gap the whole way around.
Dang Cheetah !!!! Driver did not have it in 4-wheel drive !! Electro magnetic traction or Stabitrac n simple traction control !!!😡😡😔😔😔😔 My CHEVY p/u has 2 of these !!

terence hart are you suggesting the GTR could actually out perform the Cheetah? While i have never driven a Cheetah I would bet money the Cheetah would win IF you had a real driver, not this guy! Listening to his gear choices go in and out of corners it’s pretty easy to tell he is (a) not trying, or (b) doesn’t know how to drive a race car! I mean come on , the car weighs less than 1800 lbs and had 550 hp! Too much fun!!! My buddy has an AC Cobra kit car that was highly modified, over 600 cu aluminum big block making 800 and he has a 200 shot of NOS ( which he has never used!) It too weighs under 2000 and is stupid fast and scary to drive!
The Cheetah was built to beat the Cobra, which it easily did at the hands of drivers like Bob Bondurant. Originally class rules required the production of 100 units in order to compete, but following the ass beating the Cobra began receiving, the rules were changed to require 1000 units be produced. Being that the Cheetah was a hand built car while the Cobra was little more than an easy engine swap in a production AC Bristol car, there was no way the Cheetah production could've been increased 10x in order to compete the following year, in addition there was a fire at the Bill Thomas shop, so Chevrolet pulled the plug on the Cheetah. It successfully and quickly did what it set out to do.
Wish that was me. I know how to get one (continuation series) so I just need to get it done. And, yea. It takes a real driver with real skill to drive a real race car. Which is NOT required with a computer controlled "safety" car that ANYBODY can get in and flop about in the driver seat without killing themselves.
@@kimmorrison9169 Because Duntov wanted more power, also the 365hp 327 wasn't dual quad, it had a single 4bbl (L76) Corvette only put 2-4's on the 283's
GTRs are nothing but computerized 4200 pound pigs on a real track. Kudos to the driver of this car and good for the GTR that he was only interested in having some fun or else he would have easily had him. I’ve tracked many times against these GTRs and actually I’m shocked that after 5 laps the transmission didn’t over heat and cause a limp mode. Then again, maybe it did.

@@BuzzLOLOL Uhmm- Yeh.. like getting sideways at full speed, in a shifter kart..Ride out the drift, and carry on, Right!!?? LMAO!!...Not going to Happen....
The AC and Cheetah are great old cars, good enough to go head to head with the best today. The flip side is that they are such raw, lightweight, super torquey rear wheel drive cars is a recipe for disaster. Both cars are built to kill or at least wreck novices. Both are difficult, when pushed to their limits, even by masters. Their incredibly high potential is just as incredibly dangerous to handle. To be honest, it is a good thing that many AC replica owners don't get to a race track, and it is actually a good thing many of them plop in midrange performance 302's without too much tuning. It keeps a lot of people from getting hurt.
not worthwatching. even where the chevy v8 should and proudly brags of superiority it still is just hanging on. only a lucky break by obstruction did it pass...
The GTR cut his corner pass twice. He is driving a monster with a hair trigger and zero traction aids, with only 2 wheels delivering all of it's power.
This guy is scared of the car and doesn't know jack ship about a 327 or he wouldn't be letting his rpm's get below about 3500. He should be using the gears to slow down instead of the brakes and when he come's out of the turns, he'd already be in the right gear. If he geared down to go around a turn and is still going to fast, then he needs to drop down another gear, even if it's 1st. He definitely is NOT a gear jamming, no fear, aggressive kind of driver and he's not going to hurt that 327 by twisting it up in the high rpm's. The 60 years I've been on this planet and all the different junk yards I've trampled through, there's only two motors I've never seen with a rod sticking out the side of it, a 283 and a 327, not saying it can't happen, but it's so uncommon it makes your chances of seeing one very very low. All this guy has to do is a shot of good whiskey, get in an argument with the old lady, hit his head on something on the way out the door, stub his little toe on something he told his kid to move earlier, smash his fingers in the door and then a bird shit on him after he's already buckled into the cheetah. Now he's ready to race and going to take out his anger on that 327 the way he should have been doing it all along.

about the same hp, but 1/3e the weight.. (but lack of grip..)

The flip side is that they are such raw, lightweight, super torquey rear wheel drive cars is a recipe for disaster. Both cars are built to kill or at least wreck novices. Both are difficult, when pushed to their limits, even by masters. Their incredibly high potential is just as incredibly dangerous to handle. To be honest, it is a good thing that many AC replica owners don't get to a race track, and it is actually a good thing many of them plop in midrange performance 302's without too much tuning. It keeps a lot of people from getting hurt.
I'd put my Audi up against the whole mess.
And get smoked lol
That’s the spirit !
not worthwatching. even where the chevy v8 should and proudly brags of superiority it still is just hanging on. only a lucky break by obstruction did it pass...
you must be a dumbass.
The GTR cut his corner pass twice. He is driving a monster with a hair trigger and zero traction aids, with only 2 wheels delivering all of it's power.
This guy is scared of the car and doesn't know jack ship about a 327 or he wouldn't be letting his rpm's get below about 3500. He should be using the gears to slow down instead of the brakes and when he come's out of the turns, he'd already be in the right gear. If he geared down to go around a turn and is still going to fast, then he needs to drop down another gear, even if it's 1st. He definitely is NOT a gear jamming, no fear, aggressive kind of driver and he's not going to hurt that 327 by twisting it up in the high rpm's. The 60 years I've been on this planet and all the different junk yards I've trampled through, there's only two motors I've never seen with a rod sticking out the side of it, a 283 and a 327, not saying it can't happen, but it's so uncommon it makes your chances of seeing one very very low. All this guy has to do is a shot of good whiskey, get in an argument with the old lady, hit his head on something on the way out the door, stub his little toe on something he told his kid to move earlier, smash his fingers in the door and then a bird shit on him after he's already buckled into the cheetah. Now he's ready to race and going to take out his anger on that 327 the way he should have been doing it all along.
