A 610-horsepower Dodge Challenger showed up to a car show in this 2016 clip from small channel msimm29 — and based on the video’s own tags, it wasn’t alone. References to a Lamborghini, an exhaust comparison, and a labeled “car show fail” all point toward a moment that left someone badly overestimating their muscle car knowledge. The title promises a shaming. The Hemi probably did the rest.
A Camaro driver’s decision to pass on the shoulder of the NYS Thruway near Batavia, New York triggered a multi-car pileup in April 2015 — caught on Tim Linton’s dashcam at the exact moment he greeted a caller named “Mr. Jacobs.” The clip has since racked up millions of views and turned that phone greeting into a piece of internet folklore. See the crash, and the decade-long comment thread still litigating who was really at fault.
At the Bristol 100K No Prep event, one driver faced down the rest of the field for a six-figure payout on a track surface that changes grip run to run. Viewers zeroed in on reaction times described as second to none, plus a tense moment that had a competing team sprinting down the quarter mile to check on another driver. Watch to see what it takes to win when nobody can predict the traction.
A builder named Mike brought a Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt homage to /BIG MUSCLE that split its comment section into two camps: people who loved the nod to the 1964 original, and people who loved that it actually drives better than the 500-horsepower drag-only monster it’s based on. No oversized wheels, no carbon fiber, just a resto-mod built to be lived with — plus one scene-stealing dog.
Street Speed 717’s Mike spent eight months living with a 707-horsepower Hellcat before deciding to sell — and this video walks through exactly why, from dealer visits to tire costs. Commenters push back hard, defending the drivetrain while blaming the decals, and one distills the whole debate into a fast-cheap-reliable trilemma. See what eight months of real ownership actually revealed.
In September 1985, a group of Mopar owners drove in convoy from Detroit to a car show in Columbus, Ohio — and somewhere on I-75, a Plymouth Superbird and a Cuda ended up racing side by side, countdown called over CB radio. Both cars are still owned by the same two friends today, now transformed into a Sox & Martin tribute build and a Hemi-powered Cuda. The story behind that afternoon is better than the race itself.
Road Test TV uncovered a 1970 Plymouth Road Runner that had been sitting since the ’70s — and the VIN tells a story most barn finds can’t match. Chassis 00015 makes it the pilot car for the entire 1970 model year, and it’s one of only 44 built with the 426 Hemi. Air Grabber hood, pistol-grip shifter, and a story decades in the making are all still intact under the dust.
Vanguard Motor Sales put a 1970 Ford Torino GT on the showroom floor with something under the hood that Ford never actually sold in this body: a 460-cubic-inch big block backed by a heavy-duty C6 automatic. VIN 0R35H129548, photographed from over 100 angles, tells you this dealer wasn’t hiding anything. The question viewers keep asking is simple — what did a build like this actually sell for?
A street-driven, twin-turbo Pontiac Trans Am takes on a big-block 1969 Chevrolet Camaro in an unscripted head-to-head run from Road Test TV, with the Trans Am finding traction while the Camaro’s torque spins its tires off the line. The Trans Am crosses at 7.89 seconds and 180 miles per hour, numbers that hold up against sanctioned strip runs. Watch to see exactly where the Camaro loses ground before either engine ever reaches full potential.
Royce Peterson wired the full asking price for a rare 1968 Cobra Jet Cougar XR7 after just thirty minutes of thought, convinced the car might be connected to a personal encounter with drag racing legend Don ‘Dyno Don’ Nicholson fourteen years earlier. Only 10 to 12 Cobra Jet Cougars from that model year are known to exist. Read on for how a chance trackside conversation became a decade-spanning provenance mystery.
This twin-turbo Ford Falcon, nicknamed the Dirty Bird, runs a stroked 449 cubic inch small-block through a pair of 88mm turbochargers to claim roughly 2,600 horsepower, all while competing on 275-millimeter drag radials at North Star Dragway. Nearly seven million viewers have watched the small-block Ford hold its own in a class often dominated by LS-swapped builds. Watch to see the run that turned this Falcon into a following of its own.
Tom Cotter’s Barn Find Hunter uncovers a 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB/2 Long-nose Alloy coupe and a 1967 Shelby Cobra 427 sitting together in a condemned Charlotte garage scheduled for demolition, with no local tow company willing to move them. Both cars were extracted and consigned to Gooding & Company’s Amelia Island Auction. Watch to see how a rescue this dramatic actually comes together before the wrecking crew arrives.
Mike bought a disassembled, engine-less Mustang shell in a small Pennsylvania town on nothing more than a seller’s claim that it was a genuine Super Cobra Jet Drag Pack car. A Marti Report later confirmed something neither of them suspected: this was the first Super Cobra Jet Mustang ever ordered with 4.30 gears. Read on for how a risky overnight decision uncovered a documented piece of Ford history.
While working on unrelated 1956 and 1957 Napco trucks, CarGuyLuke stumbles onto a back lot holding five late-1960s Mopars, including two Hemi Chargers, a 1969 model built in fewer than 1,000 units and a four-speed 1968 example limited to just 467. VIN-by-VIN decoding on camera confirms exactly what each car is and how rare it really is. Watch to see all five cars broken down in detail.
At the 2015 Good Guys West Coast Nationals, two members of the Bay Area Engine Modelers set up something that stopped people mid-stride: a fully functional overhead-valve V8 displacing 6.3 cubic inches, wearing a supercharger, producing a documented 16 horsepower, and sounding like nothing its size has any right to. The whole V8 displaces roughly an eighth of what one cylinder of a 426 Hemi does. Here is why that is far harder than it looks.
