What happens here

Ricky Sanders presents his #14 Pennzoil Pontiac, an old Johnny Benson car from the 1997-1998 era. He opens the hood to reveal a carbureted engine, estimating it to be around 750 to 800 horsepower. He also highlights the G-Force T101A transmission, a standard four-speed, emphasizing its old-school NASCAR setup. Ricky explains that his friend, the car's owner, bought it to do track days after it had already been a vintage SCCA car. He details the car's X-pipe exhaust leading to boom tubes.

Goal: Examine the classic engineering and sound of a late 90s NASCAR stock car.

kind of let you do that on their own. So, was this an old Johnny Benson car? Yeah, this was one of Bahar's uh number 30 Penszel Pontiacs that Johnny Benson drove somewhere in the 97 best we can tell in 1997. This is a Hendrickk [Music] SV2 somewhere in the 750 to 800 ballpark. a GeForce T101A transmission, regular four-speed, old school NASCAR stuff. A buddy of mine bought the car to do track days and stuff with after it was already like a vintage SECA car. So, the guy that I'm working with now that owns the car currently, he bought it when Bill wanted to sell the car and move on to something else and uh got his kind of first start into the, you know, vintage racing and that type deal. He now has a Hendrick track attack car that he's driving and so that allows me to play with this other deal. They're all getting lined up on their thread now. Hey, how are you? How's it going, brother? How are you? Good. Probably cooler than you are right now by the looks of it. You look hot, dude. I don't know. Well, I don't have the leap lower now. I do. Yeah, that actually feels
