1964 Studebaker Avanti R2 in teal showcased in a muscle car video.

History/Breakdown: 1964 Studebaker Avanti Paxton Supercharged R2

A full year or two before the GTO, Barracuda, or Mustang existed, Studebaker, a company that was already dying financially, built a supercharged, aircraft-cockpit-inspired coupe that set a genuine Bonneville land speed record for a factory-stock production car. This 1964 Avanti R2, one of the last built before Studebaker’s original run ended, comes from The Brothers Collection with remarkably low original mileage. Commenters still argue over whether it deserves the title of America’s first true muscle car. Watch and decide for yourself.

The Best Car Reviews EVER!

by Wes

A group of friends buys a Camaro with a known-knocking LT1 V8, decides doughnuts are worth the risk, and captures the exact moment the small block’s bottom end finally gives out. Beyond the viral laughter in the comments, the failure lines up with one of the Gen II LT1’s well-documented weak points — and the engine’s return of a legendary GM badge name in 1992 makes the whole clip more interesting than a simple blown motor. Watch to see how it ends.

This Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Has Been Transformed

by Wes

Gregg Hamilton’s Pontiac Trans Am started as a childhood dream inspired by Smokey and the Bandit — and turned into something no one expected. Trained by top World Rally Championship teams, Hamilton skipped the traditional big-inch V8 in favor of a GM 5.3-liter truck engine, then applied rally-derived suspension knowledge to give this Firebird handling most muscle cars never get close to. It’s a build defined by engineering judgment over budget. Watch to see how rally-car thinking reshaped an American icon.

Ford Mustang GT vs Dodge Challenger R/T | Which Has the Most Muscle?

by Wes

Edmunds editors James Riswick and Mike Monticello go head-to-head over the 2015 Ford Mustang GT and Dodge Challenger R/T, debating performance, comfort, and interior quality without ever fully agreeing on a winner. Nearly a decade later, the comments are still split down the middle between Mustang’s sharper handling and Challenger’s back-seat practicality. It’s a rivalry that’s only grown more entrenched with time. Watch to see which side of the debate you land on.

by Wes

A 1071-horsepower Donovan aluminum big block sits under the hood of this Chevelle SS, and it’s clean enough to look like a show car — until it launches. Wheels up, running deep into the nine-second quarter mile, this build proves a car can be spotless and brutally fast at the same time. Viewers keep coming back to how uncluttered the engine bay looks for the power it’s making. Watch to see exactly what it takes to build a nine-second Chevelle that still looks this good.

This numbers-matching-caliber 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T meets a rough end in the original 1974 Gone in 60 Seconds, towed and crushed by a period-correct Ford F-350 wrecker for a movie stunt. VIN research confirms it was genuinely a 1970 car dressed up with later clips to look newer on screen. See why this brief scene still sparks debate among Mopar collectors decades later.

2017 Camaro 1SS vs 2SS vs 1LE

by Wes

Chevrolet’s sixth-generation Camaro SS hides its real performance decision inside a single options box, not a trim badge. The 1SS and 2SS share the same 455-horsepower LT1 V8 and differ mainly in interior equipment, while the 1LE package layers track-tuned suspension, Brembo brakes, and a shorter final drive on top of either trim. This comparison breaks down exactly what separates a base 1SS from a loaded 2SS, and why the 1LE badge matters more than either one. Watch to see which combination actually fits how you’d drive it.
