A twin-turbo C6 Corvette and a Whipple-supercharged S550 Mustang squared off at Fayetteville Motorsports Park, putting two completely different approaches to forced induction on the same stretch of asphalt. One builds boost through exhaust energy, the other delivers it instantly off the crank, and that difference shapes the entire run. Watch to see which approach wins out at the stripe.
When the National Corvette Museum’s Skydome collapsed into a sinkhole in February 2014, it swallowed eight Corvettes, including the one-millionth ever built, a white 1992 convertible that existed because of its serial number alone. Rather than write it off, GM undertook a full restoration, compressed here into a time-lapse from Everyman Driver. Watch the car go from wreckage to finished in just a few minutes.
The unmistakable shriek of twin superchargers comes from a 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle, a car Chevrolet redesigned that year specifically to out-muscle the GTO and 4-4-2. Decades later, someone stuffed a pair of blowers under that long hood and turned a factory legend into a full drag-strip monster. Read on to find out what it takes to push a Chevelle past everything GM originally engineered.
The Auto Archaeologist tracked down a hidden Mopar collection split between two unlikely locations, a defunct auto parts showroom and a barn built partially into a hillside, housing rare Chrysler products, plus one lone Ford, that had sat untouched for decades. The find was significant enough to earn its own Hot Rod Magazine feature. This is part two of the search, picking up where the mystery deepens.
A YouTube uploader going by zlumlord is not chasing polish with this one – just a title that promises tire smoke and an inside joke about NHRA class codes. Behind the joke sits a real explanation of what Super Stock racing actually involves, and why a car shredding its tires this hard is telling you something about its setup. Watch to see the smoke, and stick around for what it actually means.
This 1970 Ford Torino Cobra fastback pairs a built 429 Cobra Jet big block with an aggressive .772-lift solid cam for a claimed 650 horsepower, and an exhaust note that’s turned this clip into a near 1.5-million-view favorite. The Torino often gets overlooked next to Chevelles and Road Runners of the same era, but this build makes the case for why it shouldn’t be. Watch to hear exactly what that cam sounds like under throttle.
A Kansas City “Run What Ya Brung” meet brought out heavy hitters most street races never see, including the nitrous-fed FR8TRAIN Fox-body Mustang and a twin-turbo third-generation Camaro running boost through a decades-old chassis. With no track prep and no class rules, this 1320Video-filmed night mixed built cars and street cars in the same rotation. Watch to see which combination actually held up.
A crowded parking lot, a driver trying to show off with donuts, and a split-second mistake that turned a car meet into chaos. Two two steele’s footage of a Mustang plowing into spectators captures the exact moment car meet culture’s biggest ongoing safety problem stops being a hypothetical and starts being a Mustang headed straight for a group of people who came to watch, not to run.
Only two of these were ever built, and this 1957 Ford Ranchero hides one of the most unlikely muscle car secrets of the entire decade under its work-truck sheet metal. V8TV’s Muscle Car of the Week goes looking for the story behind a supercharged engine nobody expected to find in a Ranchero, and the NASCAR connection that explains how it got there.
