Although Plymouth’s been dead for 12 years now, its iconic musclecars are still around thanks to a large group of Mopar enthusiasts. And it’s not just the Hemi Cudas and the Road Runners. The first- and second-generation Barracudas are becoming increasingly popular.
What you’re about to see below is not just any Barracuda, but a Formula S that made Bob Gough stop idolizing European sports cars and turn to American muscle. In case you haven’t guessed it yet, we’re talking about a new awesome video from Petrolicious. This one tells the love story between a man and his V8-powered machine.

We don’t want to spoil it for you, but Bob claims his 1967 Barracuda can “leave Porsches behind”. Is that possible? Well, the Formula S was known for its better handling compared to the regular musclecar, but we'll let the owner do the talking.
