Reporter interviews a man about muscle cars at an Austin car show.

Muscle Cars – Australia vs United States

Filmed for a Unique Cars magazine feature and aired on Australia’s Today Show back in November 2011, this video lines up American muscle against Australia’s own homegrown V8 legends – and the rivalry it sparked in the comments is still going strong. The Ford Falcon, a car Ford never officially sold in the U.S., squares off against the Mustang, while Holden’s VR Commodore SS and Chrysler’s Valiant Charger make the case for Australian engineering. So which country actually builds the better muscle car?

Abandoned in Japan: An American Muscle-car graveyard

by Wes

A split-bumper Camaro Z28, a 429-powered Mustang Mach 1, and a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am — all rusting together in a Japanese field, thousands of miles from where any of them were built. Car-spotting channel WasabiCars found the yard first; Jalopnik later called it Japan’s random muscle car graveyard. Viewers in the comments don’t just identify the cars, they mourn them, with more than one person floating the idea of shipping the whole lot home. Watch to see exactly what’s been left to rust.

Dodge Hellcat-Viper-Hellcat Thrash Battle!

by Wes

Roadkill hosts Mike Finnegan and David Freiburger got handed three brand-new 2015 Dodges at once — a 707-horsepower Challenger Hellcat, a 707-horsepower Charger Hellcat, and a 645-horsepower Viper GT — for a combined 2,059 horsepower in one parking lot. What follows includes burnouts, a drag strip, guest appearances from Motor Trend and Dirt Every Day talent, and an unplanned stop at a motocross track that none of these cars were built for. Watch to see how much of it survives intact.

70 Dodge Challenger on Autobahn!!! POV

by Wes

Shot from a first-person view with the camera near the driver’s own eye line, this 1970 Dodge Challenger gets pushed to its 150-mph speedometer limit on Germany’s unrestricted autobahn, a kind of sustained high-speed run American owners rarely get to attempt legally. Other drivers scatter once they spot it in their mirrors. Ride along for a rare look at what these cars can really do.

old school street race

by Wes

A simple clip of an old-school street race from the summer nats has become an unlikely fan favorite, not for the race itself, but for an uploader who, according to the comments, has kept replying to fans for over a decade straight. See the race that started it all, and the comment thread that just won’t stop growing.

MOPAR: OLD vs NEW AMERICAN MUSCLE CARS DRAG RACING

by Wes

Vintage Mopars from the early 1970s line up against modern Hellcat-era muscle at a drag event at Raceway Park in New Jersey, and the launches do not go the way the horsepower numbers would suggest. Viewers in the comments argue for days about which era actually performs harder off the line. The footage reveals just how much hidden engineering keeps these old cars competitive decades later. It is the kind of old-versus-new debate that never actually settles anything.

Mustang Owners Be Like…

by Wes

A comedy short built entirely around Mustang owner stereotypes turns out to be backed by a genuinely serious car, a supercharged 2011 Ford Mustang GT putting down roughly 850 horsepower to the wheels. Owner John Fulks even converted it to an automatic specifically to be more competitive at the strip. Muscle Vs Tuner’s short has stuck around in Mustang circles for years because it is made by people who clearly live inside the joke. The reactions in the comments prove it landed exactly as intended.

Truck fails to cut safely, causing a fall near a road.

Tree Falls On Truck – LUMBERJACK FAIL

by Wes

A backyard tree-felling job starts exactly by the book — a wedge cut, a truck backed up as insurance, a plan for which way the trunk should fall. Then the tree reverses direction mid-cut, and the truck that was supposed to be backup becomes the target. Viewers have spent years picking apart the exact moment the hinge wood failed. Watch to see how close a few degrees came to the difference between a Tuesday chore and a viral wreck.

7 Of Ford´s Greatest Engines Throughout History

by Wes

This countdown of Ford’s greatest engines set off a wave of comments nominating everything from the bulletproof 300 straight-six to the underrated 351 Cleveland as glaring omissions. See which seven engines made the official cut, and judge for yourself whether the list holds up against a century of Ford engineering.

2017 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R vs. 2017 Chevy Camaro ZL1

by Wes

Kelley Blue Book pits the naturally aspirated Shelby GT350R, making roughly 100 horsepower per liter without a turbo or supercharger, against the supercharged Camaro ZL1 on both street and track. Viewers calling it one of the best Mustang-versus-Camaro comparisons ever filmed still can’t agree on a winner, with plenty admitting they’d happily own both. See which engineering philosophy — high-revving naturally aspirated power or supercharged torque — actually wins when both cars hit the same road.

Why 800HP is Too Much…

by Wes

Mike Musto argues the internet has horsepower backwards, using a balanced Chevrolet Malibu SS built around an LS1 and a Viper-sourced Tremec T56 transmission to make his case for drivability over raw numbers. One commenter dismissed the build as merely ‘medium’ next to a 707-horsepower factory Hellcat — and the response it triggered turned into a real debate about what horsepower numbers actually mean without context. See why balance might matter more than bragging rights.

2017 Cadillac CTS-V 640 hp Road and Track Review

by Wes

The third-generation Cadillac CTS-V packs a supercharged 640-horsepower V8 shared with the Corvette Z06 — inside a four-door luxury sedan. This review took that combination to Road America, one of America’s most demanding road courses, to see whether a car this powerful stays manageable for a driver without a racing license. One commenter called it the best car Cadillac has built in twenty-five years. Watch to see why.

Duramax Chevelle!!

by Wes

Someone swapped a heavy-duty GM Duramax diesel into a classic Chevelle, and the result sounds less like a muscle car and more like construction equipment. Currently running mid-14-second quarter miles, this build is — according to commenters — barely scratching what a properly built Duramax swap can eventually do. Comparisons to a locally famous Duramax Grand National running 8-second passes set the bar high. Watch to see this unconventional build make its pass.

420hp Turbo camaro SS vs Turbo 3.8L TA

by Wes

‘Red Dragon,’ a Camaro SS running roughly 420 wheel-horsepower through a Turbonetics turbo, lined up against a Turbo Trans Am running its Buick-derived 3.8-liter V6 on increasing boost and methanol with every pass. On paper, the small-block should have won easily. The comment section — and the Trans Am’s Grand National-derived reputation — tell a different story. Watch to see how close a turbocharged V6 can get to a turbocharged V8.

1970 Dodge Challenger drag car on the dyno

by Wes

A Panther Pink 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A built specifically for the dragstrip rolled onto a dyno at a Mopar show in Farmington, Minnesota, and the crowd’s opinion of that loud paint job changed fast. Built around Dodge’s Trans Am homologation special, this car traded its factory 340 Six Pack setup for serious drag-strip modifications. The numbers that came off the dyno explain why. Watch the pulls starting around the three-minute mark.
