A stock Dodge Challenger Hellcat and a stock Dodge Viper lined up at the WannaGoFast half-mile event at Sulphur Springs Airport, Texas, with barely over a mile per hour separating their best trap speeds. Peter Dunn’s footage reignited the long-running debate over supercharged V8 power versus the Viper’s lighter, more aerodynamic chassis. See which car actually posted the higher number across multiple runs.
TFLtalk’s Emme, Roman, and Nathan rank their picks for the worst American cars of the last 40 years, and the comment section immediately pushes back. Viewers defend the AMC Gremlin’s bulletproof inline six, question whether a rebadged Suzuki or Daewoo even belongs on an American cars list, and make the case for AMC’s forgotten performance models. Watch the list, then see why longtime owners are not ready to accept it.
Only five 1970 Plymouth ‘Cuda AARs were ever finished in FT6 Burnt Tan, and only two are known to survive. V8TV’s Muscle Car of the Week profiles the rare homologation special built so Plymouth could legally race the ‘Cuda in SCCA Trans Am — complete with a triple-carbureted 340, side-exit exhaust, and a rulebook-driven design most casual fans never notice.
Richard Petty’s own 1970 Plymouth Superbird hadn’t turned a wheel on the road in over forty years — until Goodwood convinced him to drive it again. The winged, 200-mph NASCAR homologation special that helped make Petty’s name (and inspired Pixar’s The King in Cars) gets a rare public outing, engine roaring for the first time in a generation. Fans in Petty’s hometown of Randleman, North Carolina still stop him for photos to this day. Watch to hear what a real Hemi sounds like waking up after forty years.
Internal Combustion’s 4K walkaround of the 2017 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals captures the Rosemont, Illinois show known for its Time Capsule survivor awards alongside concours-level restorations. The creator calls out Mopars, Boss 429 Mustangs, and Pontiac Firebirds as personal favorites, while one viewer argues the show is missing the average joe car altogether. MCACN’s indoor November format gives fragile, unrestored originals a weather-proof stage most summer shows can’t offer. Watch to see what an indoor survivor-focused show actually looks like up close.
Mike bought his 1967 Chevrolet Camaro at nineteen with a plan he couldn’t yet execute — a build centered on an engine most Camaro owners have never heard of. Nearly two decades later, Quality Custom Rides finally sourced the specialty V12LS motor he’d been waiting for, and wrapped it in suicide doors, an air-ride stance, and custom paint. The plan now is simple: drive the wheels off it. See what a V12 swap actually looks like under a first-gen Camaro’s hood.
This blue Cougar XR-7 might just look like another 1970 pony car at first glance, but its wood-rimmed wheel and simulated walnut dash tell a different story. Mercury built it to feel like a personal luxury coupe, not a stripped-down performance car, and buyers agreed in far smaller numbers than you’d expect. Before casting a vote, here’s what actually separates this car from its Mustang cousin.
A 2015 Dodge Challenger R/T and a 2017 Dodge Charger R/T share the same HEMI V8 but very different body styles, and Modern Muscle’s host puts his own Challenger up against @frederic_rt’s Charger to settle which one actually wins on the street. Rolling starts and dig starts each favor a different car, splitting the comments right down the middle. It’s one entry in a much larger local rivalry series. Watch to see who takes it.
A 440-powered, four-speed Dodge Coronet convertible is rare enough on its own — most big-block Mopar buyers skipped the convertible body entirely. Nick’s Garage treats the teardown of this particular example less like routine work and more like something worth savoring, and the engine underneath explains exactly why. Viewers with decades of engine-building experience call it one of the most satisfying breakdowns the shop has posted. Watch to see what a patient, detail-focused teardown of a genuinely rare Mopar actually looks like.
Compression ratio is the number every engine builder throws around, and the one most can’t actually explain past ‘higher is better.’ Roadkill Extra host David Freiburger breaks down exactly what it measures, why pushing it too far invites engine-destroying detonation, and how builders actually raise or lower it on a real engine. One top comment argues the fourteen-minute video teaches the concept better than a university engineering class. Here’s what actually earned that praise.
This compilation kicks off a new monthly format built around the best street races a single month produced, and the headline pull says it all: an 850-horsepower Camaro against a heavily built Nissan GT-R, reportedly hitting 180 miles an hour. Both platforms represent completely different paths to serious street power. Which one actually gets there first is the whole point of watching. Check out the full top-10 rundown above.
Twenty thousand dollars on the line, no track prep, and a field of big-tire cars at Tulsa Raceway Park’s Redemption 6.0 — Urban Hillbilly Videos has full coverage of the Big Tire class for an event where the purse was real enough to bring out machines that mean business. No-prep racing rewards skill and setup over everything else, and this coverage shows what that looks like when the stakes match the horsepower.
Modern muscle cars like the Hellcat twins hit numbers the original 1960s and 1970s era never touched, but they get there through supercharging and computer control instead of big cubic inches and low compression. Here’s a closer look at how Detroit’s horsepower war came back in the 2010s, and what changed in the engineering between the original muscle car boom and its modern revival.
A six-cylinder Malibu that’s been in the same hands for nineteen years doesn’t get to 520 horsepower overnight. Jeffery’s slow-build street rod — big-block swap, upgraded rear end, reworked suspension — is a reminder that the best builds in this community are usually years in the making, one system at a time.
Hagerty sent three of its own editors onto the streets of Portland with $3,000 apiece to find the best classic car that budget could buy, and came back with an Alfa Romeo, a Volkswagen Beetle, and a rotary-powered Mazda RX-7 GSL-SE. Commenters didn’t hold back — questioning the RX-7’s shift points, disputing the Beetle’s model year by its taillights, and side-eyeing the Alfa’s flame paint job. Watch to see whether $3,000 really stretched as far as the video claims.
