Shit Mopar Car Guys Say

by Wes

Muscle Vs Tuner’s parody character Donnie Lee Jenkins struts around a heavily modified 2014 Dodge Challenger R/T 100th Anniversary Edition claiming 1,914 horsepower and insisting brakes are optional. Years after upload, the comments are still split between viewers quoting their favorite lines and others sincerely debating whether he’s serious. The jokes land because they’re built from real muscle car culture clichés, right down to a mixed-up badge gag most viewers catch only on a second watch. Watch to see if you spot every one.

Lou Costabile visits Roanoke Motor Co. in Illinois to see a 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Superbird 426 Hemi in Alpine White, pulled straight from dealership owner John Gastman’s personal collection. The car’s 53-pound cast aluminum wing and NASCAR-driven aerodynamics tell only part of the story; according to Gastman, the horn has never even been used. Built to homologate Chrysler’s aero package for racing, fewer than 2,000 street Superbirds exist today. Watch to see why this one has barely been touched since it arrived.

How-To Complete Rebuild Chevy 350 Small Block Engine

by Wes

Chris Duke closes out his five-part Chevy 350 rebuild series with Motorz’s Finale episode, capping a build that started with Tear Down and worked through Machine Shop, Bottom End, and Top End. Viewers praise his careful technique but are still asking, years later, for the dyno numbers and start-up sound this episode never shows. One 15-year-old fan says the series alone taught him how a small block actually goes together. Watch to see how a nearly year-long rebuild gets buttoned up.

A factory-built 1970 Chrysler 300 Hurst Convertible with no sibling cars anywhere in the world sits at the center of this one – and according to one commenter, it may have once served as Hurst’s own display car for glamour mascot Linda Vaughn.

by Wes

Only 2,399 Dodge Challenger T/As were built for a single model year, and this one is one of just 1,410 finished with an automatic transmission and roughly 50 wearing its triple-black paint scheme. V8TV breaks down exactly what made the T/A a street-legal homologation special rather than just another Challenger trim. Watch to see the numbers that make it genuinely rare.

by Wes

One Bad Ass Comet

by Wes

Dodge Demon uses its air conditioning to make horsepower??

by Wes

Dodge’s engineers found a strange use for the Demon’s air conditioning system – one that has nothing to do with keeping the cabin cool and everything to do with chasing quarter-mile elapsed times. Jason Fenske breaks down the SRT Power Chiller and After-Run Chiller in exact numbers, down to the degrees Fahrenheit they shave off intake air. It’s the kind of detail hiding in plain sight on a factory spec sheet.

When A Drag Race Went Horribly Wrong! This Accident Will Teach Riders A Lesson!

by Wes

A grudge match between Rody V and Danny D starts as a straightforward test of nerve and reaction time, then turns into the kind of footage its own uploader chose not to edit around. Viewers in the comments zero in on the moment things go wrong, and on how the local track’s emergency response handled it. It’s a video built around a lesson, not a trophy.

Chevy Small-Block V8 Engine Rebuild Time Lapse | Redline Rebuild #1

by Wes

Hagerty’s Redline Rebuild series opens with the engine that arguably needs no introduction: the Chevrolet small-block V8, in continuous production for sixty years and installed in everything from base Chevys to Corvettes, trucks, and boats. Filmed at Thirlby Automotive in Traverse City, Michigan, and compressed into a silent, sped-up teardown and rebuild, the episode has pulled in over ten million views without a single line of narration. Sponsored by RockAuto.com, it set the template for an entire series built on watching skilled hands do familiar work at an impossible pace. Watch to see sixty years of engineering come apart bolt by bolt.

Original Stock Car: 1966 Coronet

by Wes

Joe Massucco Jr.’s 1966 Dodge Coronet 440 is, by his own description, as stock as they come — drum brakes, 14-inch steel wheels on bias-ply tires, and a bench seat, with nothing added since it left the factory. Found at a local car show, the car reminds Massucco of a getaway car from a low-budget 1970s movie, and The Drive’s BIG MUSCLE series uses it to make the case that originality alone can be the whole story. Watch to see why leaving a car completely alone can be the boldest choice of all.
