I know the hosts know their facts, but it’s a disappointing lack of oversight on the scriptwriters’ parts to make TWO mistakes with specs: 2005 Ford GT had a 5.4L V8, not a 3.5L EcoBoost, and the original Viper was an 8.0L V10 - not a V8. I would not put the blame on Jerry and Jobe, though, since they were reading something that should’ve been thoroughly reviewed.
Yeah dude, these guys just lost some major points not getting the basic and legendary American muscle cars specs correct. I mean geez...
They also had a picture of the Challenger Hellcat instead of the Charger
@@Rob-tr1stfor real man
@@SteffenHayes good eye my man
@@kylemontano228 bro that shit was tough to hear. I had to rewind it make sure I heard what I heard.
Nice vid! 5:35 The Viper had an 8 liter V10 I'm afraid, not a V8
They were stupid easy to work on had a guy take me under his hood and show me the neon coil and the cherokee coil packaged together to make 10 just crazy they literally took off the shelf parts to make that beast
@@donaldliverance2597 it's essentially just a giant truck motor, the worst part is just the massive hood in the way ha ha
Yep
Also, the Ford Gt had a V8, Not a V6 ecoboost lol
@@shuruff904 uhhh the newer one does have a twin turbo v6
Not sure who scripted this episode but a couple mistakes were made lol Also I hope James is okay? I was listening to a couple recent Past Gas episodes that didn’t have him in and also noticed he’s been off camera for a while? Well wishes from myself and many others I’m sure ❤
it's so common to see hellcats that it takes some of its credit away. they are actually technological and engineering masterpieces that have made 700hp affordable for the average person without having to be a millionaire to upkeep and come with a warranty. I'm a Shelby guy myself but still will acknowledge how magnificent of a job dodge did.
The ford gt used a supercharged 5.4 v8 the next generation used a twin turbo v6
I was gonna say they confused the specs with the new one
can't believe no one on the team caught when he said ecoboost for a 2005 car
That’s just embarrassing
They don't really know Subaru's either, it's okay lol
and the viper has only ever had a v10 but they said it was a v8
the whine of the demon always gets me
Fr
NEEEEEEE
Yup I finish every time 😂
To me it sounds like it's going weeeeeeeeeee At launch 😂
Fr
i just love how the guys make sure they always stay up too date on everything n don’t make a video abt something that came out 6 months ago yk just appreciate that y’all actually get on it and be one of the first to make a video about it
So happy to see the Vector W8 on the list. One of my favorite cars from American motoring history
6:20 the original Ford GT had a 5.4 liter NA V8 making 550 HP and 0-60 in 3.5 seconds, you have the specs for the 2017 Ford GT EDIT: as pointed out, it was a supercharged V8, not naturally aspirated, but the point remains that it was a V8 and did 0-60 in 3.5 seconds, not 3
it was a supercharged v8, but yeah, not a v6
@@andrewholt6642 The 2005 gt had a 5.4 l supercharged v8 which was shown in the vdo, and the current gen Ford gt has the 3.5 l twin turbo v6 which they mentioned.
Lol just shows how much of a “car” channel this is these days, very sad to see how they’ve fallen
@@isaacanderson7160 yeah they definitely went more mainstream which makes sense for growth
@@isaacanderson7160 They also said in the video the first gen viper had a V8, but it was a V10.
The 2005/2006 Ford GT had a 5.4l Supercharged V8 not a 3.5l twin turbo V6 this came in the later 2016 Ford GT.
I was wondering why the Viper got so many generations mentioned and then they messed up the Ford GT.
They also initially said that the Viper had a V8. And they bleeped the ‘coque’ part of the word monocoque. I have found Donut’s “factual” videos to be consistently frustrating because they always get at least one fairly important detail absolutely wrong, which imo really ruins their credibility.
@Kevin Kaminski they have to bleep the "coque" part because KZhead is very dumb with their algorithm
"$103,000! Anyone can buy that!" Y'all be living the good life out there, huh? We can't afford eggs, bro.
i cant even afford a new shoes, mine has been like 5 years💀
04:50 Dodge Viper Gen 1 was 8.0L V10 not V8. These budget of the WRX High-Low series seems to have hit hard, they don't even have budget to fact check. 😂😂😂
Dope video guys! But the Viper only ever had a V10. And the 06 Ford Gt had a V8. Its why alot of people weren't happy that the newer one came with a V6.
Soon it will have a 2 cycle turbo.
I can't wait for the electric, wind powered Ford GT. We can put sails on it and pull with horses
dodge did have a v8 viper the GTS-Rs
@@dravermangaming7404 didn't know that! But I was referring to road cars mainly. And apparently there was a V10 GTS-Rs too. Car was a beast, won half of the races it was entered in
@@dravermangaming7404 noo... Caldwell Development Inc developed the v8 out of the v10 for zakspeed racing which was not an in house dodge team. That would be like saying ford had chevy powered mustangs because dragracers put LS engines in them
I dont think there ever was a V8 in the Viper
V10
Yup. Every generation of the Viper had a V10
the viper never came with a v8 they were wrong lol they also said the 2nd gen ford gt had a twin turbo v6 but thats not true it was a v8 with a supercharger
Zakspeed build a V8 viper for some endurance racing i believe
@@mrskylinegtt exactly, that was the only Viper with V8
The Tuatara (the reptile lol) is super fascinating. It's the only one of its genus, family, and order. It isn't a lizard even. It's lived in some form for 250mil years. Crazy animal.
If it isn't a lizard what is it?
@@bradd.8278 New Zealand reptile :)
@@cool............... That had to have been the limp dickest answer I've ever come across lol. Alright thanks. It's a fuckin reptile. Thanks again for the answer there Forrest.
Reptile from New Zealand!
@@kotukumacky3299 sphenodon was what I was looking for. A lizard, snake and crocodile are all reptiles. Vagueness will kill you one day 😂
Thank you for including the Vector. One of my favorite cars ever
The cobra was actually called the AC Ace, before Shelby renamed it Cobra
Yep. AC CARS 427. The predecessor to Shelby Cobra.
Yes, a British car was used as platform
There appears to be a number of errors in this video, The first gen Ford GT wasn't twin turbo, it was supercharged.
The original car was called AC289, Shelby replaced the engine and reinforced the chassis, and gave it the name of AC427.
3:51 did we really bleep out the monocoque chassis?
*Monodique
Kind of a running joke on this channel
Did you hear that Porsche is developing a brand new microcoque?
@@excalibur2038 AFAIK not a running joke, it's youtube itself being the running joke here - they flag the word as offensive if the Donut Media editors don't beep it -> video gets demonetised
@@dariopiovani5077 yet it still allows naked women videos for everyone to see.
So definitely some errors everyone is pointing out, but honestly this style of video is exactly what i miss! It is a nice return to form after all the tiktok hacks and buying weird car stuff.
3:52 Haha love how you bleeped out "monocoque" to make it dirty.
2:15 It was the AC Ace originally. 4:55 Viper has a V10 bro.
They also mixed the 2005 Ford GT and the 2017 one.
Yeah the person who did the research needs a talking to. They messed up on this one
@@rickerd83 Actually a bit surprised the lads themselves don't know this. If I got asked to say a Viper had a V8, I'd question that!
Also the GTO came with 389 not a 421. 421 was only available in the full size car
The '64 GTO was only outfitted with the 389. The 421 was saved for its larger body brethren, like the Catalina.
Yeah, I was looking for someone to finally say this. The 1964 389 car did 6.6 second 0-60, the only Pontiac in the 20th century that did 4 and a half seconds on the 0-60 was the 1989 Trans Am Turbo with the Buick 3.8 Turbo V6
And the bonneville if im not mistaken.
Any of the big body Pontiacs could get a 421- But not any of the mid sizes. GM banned engines larger than 400 cubic inches in mid size cars up until 1970, hence why in that year cars like the Firebird, Cutlass, and Chevelle got their own respective massive engines (Pontiac 455, Olds 455, Chevy 454.) The 389 and 421 were bored out to 400 and 428 inches in '67 so Pontiac could keep the same power ratings they had the previous year without tri-power (Since GM did another silly ban that outlawed multiple carburetors on all cars except the 'vette.)
Yes, correct.
@@dinos0429 yep thats why the buick 401 is listed as a 400 in 65 and 66 gs cars.
I already have about a dozen or so Demon 170's on order so guys look forward to that on Donut in the near future!
The interaction between you two is just amazing and makes for excellent viewing. But the fart in place of the point is the cherry on top.
The monobleep chassis is freaking hilarious. Top tier content as always.
It gets me every time 😅
@@user-sx4yu3nw4j agree. 😂
Are we going to discuss the elephant in the room, the rolling start VS a standing 0-60? Because a lot of these numbers were from different starting techniques. The fastest numbers were all rolling start, BTW.
Yup.
@@trashcontent9637 AT 6 MPH, THEN THE TIME STARTED.
I was just going to say the same thing. All the older cars are standing 0-60 while everything from the tesla and up are rolling starts. Big difference in time.
Engineering Explained did a pretty good video on that and crunched the numbers on the Demon 170's hypothetical no-prep 0-60 time. It's kind of a meaningless metric when every manufacturer is using different rules
6-60 times 👍
The fact that you beeped out the "coque" in monocoque... legends.
As a journalist working overseas, I was one of the few lucky ones to board the maglev between Tokyo and Nagoya. It's quiet and stable, and when I closed my eyes, I really could forget that I was moving at 500km per hour.
I hope James is getting a much needed rest, but I will say these videos with the other guys has been refreshing. Keep up the great work.
What happened to him?
Yea he's been missing in the last few episodes, he's just taking a break?
Hope he's fine as well. Haven't seen him since the GTR video.
@@satyamkalgude3902 I listen to their podcasts. Basically he's been sick for thr last week but he's feeling better as of sunday
Yeah I thought it odd he wasn't in this video, I mean the man got a damn Dodge tattoo remember 😂
I love all the guys on this channel but I hope James is okay. Haven’t seen him in a little while
I know pretty worrying considering in his recent posts his comments are turned off
He's the funniest of the guys, that's for sure.
I wonder if all the KZhead comments hating on the "list" content got to him.
He's my favorite of the bunch
@@lesflynn4455 stop
Jeremy's impression of Carroll Shelby is eerily good.
Haven't watched the video yet, BUT the 1.66 second 0 to 60 is on a prepped surface, with specific tires AND with "rollout" which is about the time it takes to hit like 5 or 6 miles per hour. On the street you're looking at more like 1.9 depending on driver and tires. I may edit this after watching the video lol.
Very fun energy between these two hosts of Donut Media! Thanks Jerr! Thanks Jobe!
Negative seconds… 😂😂 I like the setup of this video, great chemistry and banter between Zach and Jerm.
Loved seeing the dvd bouncing logo. Great video all around!
I like the big three bouncing around on screen with the DVD logo. Fun stuff.
1:42 the GTO in '64 only came with a 389 but did have 421 heads. The 421 was never available as a factory option for GTOs, being offered only in bigger Pontiac cars, but for extra cash the dealer could perform a 421 swap
Shame you guys didn’t bring up the Shelby Gt500 at all. The 2013 had 650 hp, did 0-60 in 3.5, and had a top speed of 200. Absolutely insane performance for the time and the money.
Been DD a 13 for years they were cheap for a time awhile back. Can’t bring myself to part with it
662hp btw
@@bcc5701 I knew I was underselling it but didn’t feel like looking it up lol. That’s an awesome car I’m not surprised you don’t want to part with it even if the market has somewhat caught up with them.
I know it would be an insane effort, and obtaining stock versions of the old cars to thrash on a drag strip would be crazy hard, but I would love to see numbers of many of the old fast cars, particularly things like a stock first year GTO or 427 Cobra on modern tires on a modern prepped surface and see how those numbers changed.
The ‘64 GTO had a 389, and did 0-60 in about 6.6 seconds, at best. On an actual street surface with polyglass tires, that was probably more like 7.6 seconds. I had a sister car - a ‘64 F85 Cutlass with an LS swap and 4 speed automatic. On modern tires that thing was still tough to launch without just roasting the rear wheels.
I really never thought id see another year model demon. I bought one of the orignals for way over price but the car is pretty fast. Since then ive changed and upgraded alot for the goal of just seeing how far i could get. The egine is just built like a freight train and im now over 1000hp
Im I the only one that noticed that they said the ford gt had an ecobost engine when the car they had in the background was the 2005 version and that had a v8 engine😂
You guys should discuss rolling 0-60 vs non-rolling -- a lot of times you see now are actually rolling 0-60s which shaves off 0.5-1s
Well, it's the Murican car makers and they have to cheat where they can. What's funny if you look at a company like Porsche or Mercedes-Benz, they give out the 0-60/62 numbers, but when you du an actual run, it's always a lower time then they claim. And it's done on regular streets, no glue to the track and tires and a full stop on the start. Not like the Muricans who like to roll and claim crap
Put it delivery tires, cold tire launch at the street from proper 0, drivers be lucky to escape with their life intact, many other on paper lesser cars will have a blast with that thing. Worst of them all when a family in a Tesla come and slay you at red lights, very shameful indeed. I am not American, but love the new C8 platform for that reason, repeatability and any man can drive it, even when the road itself turn.
@@luffararnesugerkuk just wait till the tesla battery's are flat and pull up next to them in your 33 year old Landcruiser and offer them a charge with your diesel generator knowing that in 10 years time that tesla is in the junkyard and your old Landcruiser is still driving around
LOL that look of the guy in the back seat is priceless when the pedal went to the metal.
PERFECT HORSEPORK! I'd love to see you guys focus a video on that concept
😂 horsepork yall
Hope James is ok. He hasn't been in videos or podcasts for a while now.
Might have had to step down from production for health issues. Considering how much content Donut actually manages to put out I can see high stress being a problem and he has had heart problems in the past.
I think he and his old lady kasey had a falling out because in his recent posts he’s talking about rylie jobe being a lil baddie and what not hope he’s doing okay though love that guy 🫤
He was pretty cringe to me personally
@@Ghorkk Agreed and his more recent videos show that even he was struggling to maintain that persona.
@@Ghorkk yeah.. honestly the only people I really like on here now is Zack and Justin. I just miss Aaron lmao. Dude was legit but also has a legitimate racing career
This higher production quality and two guys having a bit of conversation makes these list videos so much better!
a lot better, especially with the chill vibes
Better yes, but if they had the correct specs on cars it would be a lot better.
Arguably not better. Cool video. If you aren't listening to all the misleads and bad research.
Lol loyalty free "in da club" during the viper segment
imagine finding one of those challengers in the woods or a barn 50 years from now. the combustion engine will never die
Wow, I'd totally forgotten about the Vector despite it being my dream car for many years as a kid and I'm quite sure I had a poster or two of it. And hosts that can make insane acceleration funny; I love this channel!
I still have the Stars and Stripes picture laminated in my wallet!
I thought the viper had a v10?
It did. They got their facts wrong
And the original ford GT has a v8 not a v6
@@HI-sc4um this video definitely seems rushed, kinda sad to see donut doing this
10:40 Fun fact: The Tuatara's engine is not under the hood. LOL
“You think we could ever get into the negative seconds” “go back in time”? “YEaH pRObaBLY” 😂😂 15:38
I’m lucky to have a neighbour just a few houses up from me, with a Shelby Cobra. It is one of most beautiful cars in person, and the sound, is amazing.
I'm not an electric car fan, but now knowing that the Plaid was a reference to Space Balls makes me immensely happy
But a fifteen minute wait time. Spaceball 1 had a quicker turn around time . . . That is a cool bit of trivia about the though . . . ✌😎
@@elvispresley6392 I will never. . . understand why boomers.. Talk like this. . .
Ludicrous mode too was a reference
@@Atlas.Brooklyn yeah well boomers also dont understand why we talk like this tho fair is fair
@@Atlas.Brooklyn I use ... a lot because i never learned grammar properly and sometimes a comma just doesn't do it. I'm millenial tho
What would Donut be without the giggles, giddy banter, and bouncy, shiny curls?
I'm glad I was born when I was. Back in the early seventies it was easy to work on cars and Hot rod them. I managed to hot rod my small block to be able to beat Big blocks. I was also always amazed that people that thought they were fantastic because they new how to floor the accelerator - build engines is something they knew nothing about. Now there's no way I would race cars on the streets with all the police. Also in the early '70s had to be about 5% of the traffic you see today, back then the roads were open you could go as fast as you wanted to - now you just go along bumper to bumper.
Including a 0-60 time with a rollout is a pure scam.
And making a video highlighting these misleading numbers is an even bigger scam and disservice to the younger generation that needs to learn about these cars the proper way
The insurance is the real scam. I payed 5 times the cost of my car over its life. I could have just bought 5 cars and crashed 4 of them.
3:50 The mono *bleep" chassis 😂
My good friends father is a higher up at Chevrolet, he says they canned the Camaro due to low sales and because they will soon be releasing a new modern Chevelle which will be gas powered… So YES it looks like there WILL be new American gas powered “classic muscle cars” to come… Hopefully
🤣i love how consistent you guys have been over the years at bleeping out "****" when anyone says "Mono****"🤣
Monorail? Seems like a perfectly cromulent word to me...
So sad to see the last generation of muscle cars. Thank you for this walk down memory lane Donut!
Bleeping “monocoque” got me good. Well done 👍 Also worth mentioning any of the sub-2 second and many of the sub-3 second 0-60mph vehicles will never be able to do that on anything short of a prepped track surface. Especially the RWD ones. The laws of physics must be obeyed.
I'd love to see these classic high HP cars 0-60 times with modern tire compounds.
I miss the Viper so much it's unreal.
I feel like you guys should do a video explaining roll out 0-60 times and which of these vehicles use that in their timing
An entire video just for that?
@@TJ-W yes an entire series on just that.. misleading these youth with bad data or no explanation for weird data isn't a good view.
They should explain to their large audience.. not just make a quick list and do no research
@@bullsbabe1231 it might need 30 seconds of explanation during a video, but not it’s own video. It’s not that complicated and shouldn’t be that hard to explain or understand. Also, roll out is kinda self explanatory.
One of the most powerful muscle cars to ever exist is my favorite. 1970 Chevelle 454 SS 450HP and 500 LB TQ. Also a few elcaminos came with the same engine.
Viper has an 8.0 V10, and the 2005 Ford GT had a mildly upgraded 5.4 supercharged V8 from the GT500 with dry sump system. Ecoboost wasn't until the 2017 model year.
Y'all gotta stop letting the AI write the scripts 🤣
In Da Club type beat (5:13-5:43)
That mono**** chassis killin me 💀💪
In the club is free utube music now lol. My dad owned and raced the hell out of his 64 gto he still is mad he had 2 sell it back in the day . Thanks for sharing as always boys 💪🏽👍🏼.
I love how everybody keeps stating the Demon 170 😈 is around $100k. NO dealership is selling them at MSRP there all being dealer markuped by minimum $75k. 😒 imagine paying over $175k for a Dodge Demon 😂😂😂
Loved this one, the conversation, editing, and duration of the video. Brought a fresh feel to it, keep it guys 🎉
I'm pretty sure the original car that Carroll Shelby put the engine into was an AC Ace. He named it the AC Cobra.
Dam that 1/24 scale truck in the background looks good 👌🏼
Did any of the producers care to fact check before posting?
please do a video on the volvo tuning culture, it would be very interesting to see
Turbobricks !
We are amazed by some of the speed figures in this video!
Now we need a Fastest American Trucks Episode.

"SNAKEBITE" snapped me out of my "just watching the video" daze and immediately into clapping that like button lmao
Please do a new Up to Speed of the new demon 170. Last demon video had so much energy would like to see again with James. (^^)
I just bought a hellcat this weekend and seeing y’all react to it was awesome
PICS. PLEASE ? T.Y.
that negative seconds and back in time was hilarious
I went to the comments as soon as I heard them use the 2006 Ford GT and say it uses a Twin Turbo V6. The newer model, the MKIV/2017 Ford GT is the one that uses a twin turbo V6. The 2005/06 GT had a supercharged 5.4 V8 and only made 550 HP compared to the twin turbo v6 making almost 650.
Gentlemen... I am fairly new to this channel, and fairly new to four wheels. Been on two more than two decades before enjoying a windscreen a roof and heater. Would you consider doing an up to speed on John Britten? Those who know, know... Absolutely awesome content, highly amusing, highly entertaining, and highly educational. Thank you
Would be great for their podcast
Yes please do, that guy is an absolute legend
Up to Speed is on hiatus, but that would be a great episode.
They said the same thing about the original Viper.
Wrong motor for the 2nd gen GT. They put the 3.5TT in the 3rd gen car.
The original GTO only had a 389 in it, the 421 was put into a GTO but only as a ringer car to give to press
3:53 It blurred monocoque out lol 🤣🤣🤣
The issue with 0-60 times are the 1 foot roll out. My M3 competition xdrive has done 2.8s in testing at "500hp" so really it's about grip/launch for a 60 than brute force HP/torque
the * tho they said it for others is, prepped drag strip with probabl a few gallons of VHT + full drag slicks.
I couldn't help but remember that scene from Tokyo drift. "This beast's got 500-horsepower and a Borla exhaust system. It does 0-60 in what, 4.6 seconds" "wow, you can read the brochure!"
14:51 The Black Ghost trim package is based on a legendary Detroit street racer. Check out the Hemmings video on that OG badass.
Sprints, Time trials, more drag races.
Anyone know where James is? This is definitely the type of video he'd normally be the host of.
Uhhh based on other comments, he's feeling under the weather, but he's feeling better since Sunday, from what the comments say.
Just wondering where is James haven't seen him in awhile 🤔
Yeah really odd he hasn't posted on his Instagram in a while and his comments are disabled. He's not on the newest podcast episode either. He is on their other channel Real Mechanic Stuff but those videos could've been recorded earlier.
@some donkus yeah real mechanic stuff is old I believe, however, he may be doing something new
About the "AC Cobra". Nope, before Caroll Shelby took care of the car, it was originally called the AC Ace. It became the Cobra only once the V8 got shoehorned in.
They bleeped out the back half of "mono-coque" 😂😂😂
I love how you guys keep bleeping cock-pit 🤣
