One of the reasons that races like the Street Car Super Nationals and the cars that populate said races have become so popular is because they actually look like cars. Yes, they are all muscled up, gutted, and made into racers but they have an exterior appearance you can relate to. This Barracuda was one of our favorites from SCSN for just that reason. The stance on the thing is pure evil, the engine in the thing is a monster, and the fact that it repeatedly ran in the sixes at over 200mph is nothing to shake a stick at. In this video we see the car both at rest in the pits and heading down the track on some runs. It is cars like this Barracuda that make us wonder what the next technological frontier will be for machines such as this. Over the years the evolution has gotten us here but in order for it to continue, what is the next step. Turbos and nitro? SIGN US UP (to watch).
We’re going to let this one speak for itself. The factory style paint, the turbos peeking out of the front, the awesome sounds of the hemi being force fed. What’s better?!
I hope this beauty isn’t driven much on the street!
Those low-mounted turbos look like they could ingest stray dogs. jay walkers and half the road surface – but hey, perfection comes with a price…….
VERY, VERY NICE
What a great running car! Beautiful but for that hidiously ugly scoop!
That don’t look like no 340 I’ve ever seen.
That is a badass Barracuda!

It looks like that team and car have got their act together!! Very Nice!!
Pretty good for a bunch of Canucks eh! These guys do a great job and the car is indeed a sight to behold upclose.

I wish people would stop pondering Turbos and Nitro. The isn’t a turbine on earth that can weather the blast of burning nitromethane. Sure fuel racers HAVE played with turbos, but always on alcohol. So that “what if” is invalid. MY personal “what if” is putting a modern twin turbo, alcohol, converter, trans brake, unlimited inch drivetrain in a lighter weight F/C or dragster with no cubic inch limit.
Another AWESOME Canadian hot rod, EH!
