Great video of a beautiful 1973 Ford Mustang Mach 1

This 1973 Ford Mustang Mach 1 sits at an overlooked hinge point in Mustang history – the final year of the original first-generation pony car before Ford downsized into the Mustang II. Watch This Car’s short walkaround doesn’t dig into VIN-level history, so the comments end up doing some of the work instead, including a Polish viewer inviting the channel to see a better-documented Mach 1 near Malbork. It’s a small, quietly significant survivor most muscle car fans skip right past. Watch to see why it shouldn’t be overlooked.

Chevrolet Chevelle 1967 SS 700 Horsepower

by Kiril

A supercharged big block pushed past 700 horsepower on pump gas, custom suspension, and a nine-inch Ford differential under a 1967 Chevelle Super Sport. The factory version of this car was capped by a General Motors corporate memo that actually reduced its advertised horsepower that year, and the legendary 375-horsepower L78 was not even on the order sheet. Read on to find out how the badge and the build connect.

The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon Advance Torque System; How Powerful Is This Muscle Car?

by Kiril

The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon did not simply add horsepower to the Hellcat formula. It brought a factory transbrake, a system that built boost while the car stood still, an air conditioning circuit repurposed to chill the intake charge, and drag radials on all four corners. Read on for how each of those pieces worked, what the car actually recorded at the strip, and why no manufacturer has attempted anything like it since.

Oldsmobile Cruiser 1970 vs Ferrari FF 2012

by Kiril

Two cars, three decades apart, both built around the same unusual idea: a high-performance engine wrapped in a body shaped for hauling people and cargo, not chasing lap times. One is a full-size American wagon with a glass-topped rear cabin. The other is a V12 shooting-brake from Maranello that sends power to all four wheels. Which one actually deserves the garage space?

Classic Camaro Race Car in need of a New Driver

by Kiril

A car with FIA papers and decades of magazine coverage does not get built for weekend cruising — it gets built to win, or at least to survive trying. This 1968 Camaro carries both, along with a documented history fighting for points in one of the toughest touring car series Britain ever ran against cars a fraction of its size.

What it’s like to drive the 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat when you know the Demon exists

by Kiril

For a brief window the 707-horsepower Challenger SRT Hellcat was the most powerful muscle car ever sold, and then Dodge announced something that made it the second most powerful car in its own showroom. Living with that demotion turned out to reveal more about the Hellcat than its spec sheet ever did. Read on for what the car actually was, what it ran, and why it may be the better long-term buy of the two.

1964 AMC Rambler American 440 Convertible

by Kiril

This 1964 AMC Rambler American 440 convertible has a name that confuses everyone who hears it – “440” refers to AMC’s top trim level, not a big-block V8, and even longtime commenters can’t agree on which of AMC’s inline sixes is actually under the hood. samspace81’s quick road test walks through a car built during Rambler’s commercial peak, right as the muscle car era it never joined was just getting started. Former Rambler owners fill the comments with their own stories. Watch to see what made this quiet compact worth remembering.

1971 Ford Boss 351 in Grabber Lime Paint

by Kiril

Ford built the Boss 351 for exactly one model year, 1971, to homologate a racing program it had already walked away from. Fewer than two thousand left the factory before the entire Boss nameplate was retired. Underneath the wider, heavier restyled Mustang sat a 351 Cleveland assembled from a parts-counter wish list, and in Grabber Lime it announced itself from a block away. Here is what the engineers managed to push through, and why the car is still undervalued.

Massive Muscle Car Burnouts!!

by Kiril

Burnouts look like pure chaos, but the smoke show hides a surprising amount of engineering logic underneath it. The maneuver started as a practical fix for a specific starting-line problem drag racers kept running into, decades before it became a backyard and social-media spectacle. Here’s how it went from a track necessity to one of muscle car culture’s defining rituals.

Dodge Challenger 1971 426 HEMI – INSANE BURNOUT and DONUTS!!

by Kiril

Dodge built exactly 71 Hemi Challengers for 1971, the engine’s final year, and not one of them was a convertible. That makes this smoky, 426-powered droptop a build rather than a survivor, assembled by someone who decided the combination should have existed even though the order books say it never did. Read on to find out why the factory walked away from its most famous engine.

Chevrolet Camaro 1967 RS/SS 502

by Kiril

Chevrolet sold the Rally Sport and Super Sport packages separately in 1967, so a genuine RS/SS required a buyer to pay for both, and factory-correct examples are rarer than either package alone. This one keeps that foundation and swaps in 502 cubic inches of modern General Motors crate big block, an engine rated well beyond anything the factory offered. Read on to find out why builders keep making that trade.

1,000 HP Procharged Mustang Shelby GT350 Drag Races Corvette Z06, Goes All Out

by Kiril

A stock Shelby GT350 already revs to 8,250 rpm on a flat-plane crank and sounds like nothing else Ford has ever built. Add a ProCharger and push it past 1,000 horsepower, and it becomes a very different weapon, aimed squarely at the Corvette Z06 that Chevrolet engineered to beat it. Traction, not horsepower, usually decides this one. Read on for what separates these two approaches and what boosting a Voodoo V8 actually costs.

Dodge Challenger R/T vs Ford Mustang GT vs Chevy Camaro SS 0-60 MPH

by Kiril

Put a Hemi badge, a bowtie, and a galloping pony on the same drag strip and the internet will argue about the results for years. Independent 0-60 testing on the Camaro SS, Mustang GT, and Challenger has produced wildly different spreads depending on trim, tires, and driver. Here’s what the numbers actually show, and what’s really under each hood.

1964 Ford Fairlane 427 Thunderbolt

by Kiril

Ford built roughly 100 Fairlane Thunderbolts for 1964 with fiberglass hoods, fenders and doors, Plexiglas windows, no heater or radio, and a trunk-mounted battery, all to get a 427 High Riser into the most favorable Super Stock bracket the rulebook allowed. The 425-horsepower rating on the paperwork fooled nobody in the sport. Gas Ronda won the Winternationals with one, and Ford lost money on every car it delivered. Read on for what separates a real Thunderbolt from a very good tribute.

Chevrolet Camaro 1973 – 350 5.7L V8

by Kiril

That exhaust note did not come from the base engine. In 1973 Chevrolet sold two entirely different 350 cubic-inch V8s in the Camaro, separated by one option box and a hundred horsepower, and the more serious one was built with four-bolt mains and a forged crank. This was also the last year the second-generation car wore its clean chrome front end before federal bumper rules changed it. Read on for what separated the two engines.
