Road Test TV lines up one of only 182 factory-built 428 Cobra Jet Cougar Eliminator four-speeds against an equally rare 1969 Chevelle SS396 running the high-winding L78 396. It is a genuine Ford-versus-Chevy grudge match between two cars scarce enough to anchor any serious muscle car collection. Watch the full quarter-mile pass to see which rare survivor comes out ahead.
A wet road in Grand Prairie, Texas turned into a cautionary tale when a Mustang driver challenged a GTO to an impromptu race – and the GTO driver said no. What happened next, caught entirely on dashcam, has racked up nearly 600,000 views and sparked a running debate over what the Mustang driver should have done differently. The GTO driver, meanwhile, earned respect for staying out of it and stepping in afterward. See how quickly a bad decision on slick pavement can unravel.
A professional appraiser puts this numbers-matching, V-code 1970 ‘Cuda through its paces on a curvy Maryland back road after a full rotisserie, frame-off restoration, and the 440 6-Barrel big block doesn’t disappoint. One detail even catches the inspector’s trained eye. See what separates a genuinely correct E-body restoration from an ordinary one, straight from someone whose job is finding the difference.
This Plymouth ‘Cuda’s quarter-mile run at a 2012 test-and-tune session ends in a rollover that shocked everyone watching, including the person holding the camera. The driver walked away, a testament to both track safety infrastructure and old-fashioned luck. See what this dramatic footage reveals about the real risks of running a vintage muscle car at full speed on a sanctioned strip.
Doug Cline drove his twin-turbo, roughly 3,000-horsepower big-block Camaro over 1,300 miles to reach Rocky Mountain Race Week. On the event’s final day, fuel buildup off the line turned into a 190-mph excursion off the racing surface, and a split-second decision not to pull the chutes ended up filling both turbochargers with sand and gravel. See exactly how a week of extreme mileage and extreme horsepower came down to one costly moment.
A Dodge Demon, a Hellcat, and a new ZL1 line up against a ’69 Charger, a Nova, a Chevelle, a Shelby GT500, and a classic Mustang in this old-vs-new drag racing compilation, and the results split viewers right down the middle. One camp insists nothing beats old-school cool factor; the other concedes technology always wins in the end. A 1970 Chevelle SS 454 turns in a pass that neither side saw coming. Watch the full lineup face off.
Engineering Explained’s Jason Fenske breaks down what a hemispherical combustion chamber actually is — the dome-shaped design behind Chrysler’s legendary 426 Hemi, and the reason the name became shorthand for raw American power. The real story involves valve geometry, spark plug placement, and a genuine engineering tradeoff most casual fans never learn about. Watch to see why modern Hemi-badged engines aren’t quite what the original name promised.
This 1968 Dodge Charger was hidden so deep in an old junkyard it wasn’t even visible from the road — and it might still be sitting there if a family hadn’t decided to buy it on the spot. The car’s condition surprised viewers, but the real standout was a young kid confidently correcting an adult’s Super Bee trivia. Watch to see the find and the moment that had everyone talking.
A dealership straps a brand new GoPro to the dash for one final drive in a 1979 Camaro Z28 before it leaves for a new owner the next morning — and the internet can’t decide what to focus on first. Is it the exhaust note commenters say gives them goosebumps, or the boldly colored interior that’s already become a running joke? One story buried in the comments about a similar Camaro’s tragic fate suggests there’s more riding on this handoff than anyone watching realizes.
Barefoot Ronnie Pace’s Nova backfires through its nitrous system mid-race against Flacco’s Tuning, sending a fireball out of the engine bay close enough that a nearby bystander’s lit cigarette becomes its own punchline in the comments. One viewer corrects the record on nitrous chemistry; another questions whether the car is really a genuine Yenko. Watch to see just how dramatic the explosion really gets.
In 1969, Plymouth paid Warner Bros. for the rights to a cartoon bird, its signature meep-meep horn, and an entire ad campaign built around outrunning a coyote. This commercial captures that gamble at its peak, arriving the same year the Road Runner won Motor Trend Car of the Year over cars that cost far more. It is proof that a genuinely fast car could still afford to be a little ridiculous. Watch the pitch that convinced a generation of buyers.
A Porsche 911 GT3 lined up against a Shelby Cobra and lost the launch so badly its clutch started smoking before the tires ever got the chance — and the comments haven’t let it go since. Buried in the thread is a genuinely wild fact about how fast an original 427 Cobra actually was in period. Watch to see the launch that started it all.
A Lowe’s delivery truck, quite possibly loaded with someone’s new washer and dryer, gets broadsided by a small red car that blows straight through a red light — and one alert driver in a white van manages to avoid becoming the third vehicle involved. Both drivers were hospitalized; neither injury turned out to be severe. Watch the dashcam footage that has viewers still arguing about which vehicle actually came out worse.
The Ford Falcon XB coupe that became Mad Max’s V8 Interceptor was built from improvised parts, including a worn-out drag car supercharger with its compressor vanes removed just to make it spinnable. Decades later, a mechanic who worked on the build showed up in the comments to explain exactly how close the whole thing came to falling apart during filming — and Australia is still campaigning to bring the car home. Watch to see why this scrappy, homemade build became one of the most beloved movie cars ever built.
A heavily built 2017 Camaro ZL1 — upper pulley, E85, methanol, custom headers — lined up against a Dodge Demon running nothing but pump gas and the factory tune. On paper, the built car had every advantage. Dodge’s from-the-factory drag weapon had other plans. The race has kept circulating for years, and the comment section still can’t agree on who really should have won. See how the numbers stack up.
