Spoiler alert! Both were able record sub-10 second runs.
Cuda is a nickname for the Plymouth Barracuda. It’s probably one of the most sought-after muscle cars of the 1970s with a reputation that surpasses the lifetime of the Plymouth brand. Because of its rarity, it’s an iconic car and an urban legend among car enthusiasts. A r were Hemi Cuda was almost four years old when it sold for $2.25million.
Apart from its rarity and value, the Cuda’s most valuable traits are the stories that go with it. The Cuda has evolved from a Chrysler Valiant-based econocar, to a large-engined muscle car, and now it is a Chrysler Valiant-based econocar.
A 1970 Hemi Cuda is a stock car that should be able compete against modern race cars. This is due to its 7.0-liter Hemi Hemi V8 engine, which produces 425 horsepower and 490 pounds-feet.
Today is different. Today’s picture shows a 1970 Cuda equipped with the same 7.0L Hemi V8 motor but with 925 horsepower – 500 more than the stock. Although the video doesn’t show whether the Cuda was modified, an internet search will reveal the same-colored Cuda that is being sold online. According to the advertisement, the extra horses in this Cuda are from an alleged NOS-system.
In this video, however the Cuda stands up against a modified Suzuki GSX-R1000. Although we don’t know if the superbike has been modified, it should produce 157 horsepower and 77 Nm torque. This superbike is weighing in at around 500 lbs.
Which is faster, the 1970 Hemi Cuba or the GSX-R1000. You can see the video at the top of this page. This is a little spoiler: both completed the quarter-mile in under 10 seconds. Wow.
