Boss 429 "Tapping the Gas"

You know it's right when it sounds like struggles to idle.

Mustang guys take note, he actually straights his car out first after the turn, not just mashing the accelerator half way through it

11 years later this is still one of the greatest sounds ever

The sound of that idle never gets old. Beast waiting to be unleashed.

The car, those cars behind, the nuclear power plant, the flags, that guy in a Harley Davidson. This is the most american video i watched in a while

Hearing that kid in the background go “That was awesome!!!” Just made me smile

Muscle cars have to be one the greatest things Murica has ever produced

First of all, I approve of the chop at idle. That's some aggressive cam lift & timing and I'm all here for it. We don't have those big displacements over on our side of the pond and I love 'em dearly... Also, Fuel injected engine: Let me give ya the exact amount of fuel required so each of your cylinders' performance is as equal as possible, reducing wear along the way. On cold days, you're neither cranking for hours or have to use the choke until the smell of gas seeps into the cabin through the vents. Carburettor: Haha, dump fuel into engine make car go brrrr.

I love the nuclear power plant in the background.

GM or Ford whatever you like. Us real ones all can agree, that the “symphony” of a large cam loping is intoxicating.

11yrs and this video still gets played to brighten my day

This is what I like to see. A classic car show. Not 60 hellcats in a row with camo wraps and no doors.

I love the older guys giggle after the mustang took off. It really shows all men who enjoy cars are children at heart

The correct way to leave a car show. Look both ways go slow, then GO!

The Boss 429 engine used a single Holley four-barrel carburetor rated at 735 CFM mounted on an aluminum intake manifold. All these cars had 4-Speed Manual Transmissions and the Boss was rated very conservatively at 375 HP while actual output was believed to be well over 500 horsepower

I absolutely LOVE the sound of that car. It's just absolute music to my ears.

The back of that car is more beautiful than most of the cars today.

Glad he waited until the car was straight before flooring the throttle and almost losing it. 😏

I love the high pitched engine sounds as much as the next person, but hearing the low rumbling of an American V8 is just a next level experience. It very much feels like you're standing next to a breathing beast. I was quite lucky to run into a muscle car meet when I was is America, I canceled that day's plans and decided to hang around the meet area, you can feel those rumbles in your heart its crazy.

This is worth watching over and over and over, what a sound, awesome! Just love the way it crackles on idle! 👍🏻
