A forgotten 1978 movie chase pairing a detuned Trans Am against a transitional C3 Corvette earned a rare four-star rating from a dedicated film-preservation channel. Both cars represent very different Detroit performance philosophies from the same turbulent era. Find out why this overlooked scene still holds up decades later, and what made 1973 such a pivotal year for the Corvette’s design.
Doug DeMuro barely had time with the new 2019 Corvette ZR1 before filming, but touring it at its Dubai debut still turned into a look at the most powerful Corvette Chevrolet had ever built. Commenters could not resist joking about an American supercar getting its unveiling in a city built around European exotics. Watch to see the quirks DeMuro found anyway, and why this first look still gets rewatched years later.
A muscle car channel took every stereotype the Civic scene has ever earned and turned it into a single, quotable sketch: disc brakes swapped for drums, turbos ripped for straight pipes, roof racks bolted on for weight reduction. It has since pulled in over 10.4 million views and a comment section that keeps adding new lines to the bit. Watch to see which side of the muscle-versus-tuner divide gets roasted hardest.
AV Boys’ small-block Mustang gave a built, turbocharged Porsche 911 a full car-length head start in a five-thousand-dollar grudge race — and still caught it with the front wheels off the ground. The clip has circulated for years as proof that a well-built pushrod small-block Ford can embarrass six-figure German engineering. See exactly how close it actually was.
Regular Car Reviews poses a deliberately unanswerable question at the Carlisle Ford Nationals, wandering a field that spans everything from Model A-era classics to a modern carbon-fiber GT. Host MrRegularCar’s deadpan commentary turns a simple car show walkthrough into a running bit about what ‘best’ even means across nearly a century of the same badge. Watch to see which Ford nearly breaks the host’s trademark cynicism.
There’s a version of the Corvette ZR1 story that ends with the car parked safely on a trailer, too special to actually race. This isn’t that story. Read on to find out what happened when RaceProvenMotorsports lined up a 2010 ZR1 against a 2019 ZR1 at Cecil County Raceway, and whether nine years of engineering actually showed up in the numbers.
On a closed airstrip outside Mosjoen, Norway, a tuned modern Hemi Challenger lined up against a Lamborghini for one of the country’s grassroots Street Legal drag events. The crowd’s loyalties were obvious before the lights even dropped. What happened next explains why American V8 muscle still draws a following six thousand miles from Detroit. Watch to see if the Hemi lived up to the hype.
A 1965 Ford F100 sat forgotten under a stand of trees for years before its new owners realized what they’d inherited with the property. No brakes, a stubborn shifter, and decades of neglect should have meant a dead truck — instead, the old six-cylinder fired right up. Find out what kept it alive for half a century.
A split-bumper 1970 Camaro rolls onto the dyno wearing a set of Flowmasters, and the numbers on the screen end up mattering less than what comes out of the exhaust. Viewers keep coming back to this clip years later, some just for the sound and others hunting for tire specs. There’s more to this build than a routine pull.
At the infamous I-15/78 interchange in San Diego County, one driver tried to force her way into traffic not once but three times, ignoring two warning honks from the unmarked vehicle behind her. The dashcam footage, captured on a Yi Dashcam Generation 1, shows exactly how the encounter unfolds once she realizes who she cut off. Viewers have praised the uploader for keeping the twist out of the title. Watch to see how it plays out.
Pontiac built fewer than 700 first-year Trans Ams in 1969, and this white-with-blue-stripes example, restored by a specialist shop and shown at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals, is one of the survivors. Owner John Steger walks through what made the earliest Trans Am different from everything that came after. It’s a rare look at where the nameplate actually began.
Everyone knows the GTO and the Chevelle SS, but Car News TV went looking for the muscle cars history left behind — and found seven, including a Buick Wildcat whose custom wheels have viewers arguing in the comments to this day. One commenter even jumped in to defend his own 401-cubic-inch, four-speed AMC Javelin AMX as faster than half the cars on the list. Watch to see which forgotten machines made the cut.
Hector Fraire was 19 when Oklahoma Highway Patrol clocked his 2011 Mustang GT at a jaw-dropping 208 miles per hour on a turnpike, turning a refused traffic stop into a pursuit, an arrest on reckless driving and eluding charges, and a viral story. Comment sections have spent years dissecting exactly what kind of build gets a street Mustang to that speed. The build details are more impressive than the headline.
Chevrolet’s own Camaro and Corvette have spent more than fifty years quietly measuring themselves against each other on the street, and neither one has ever pulled ahead for long. From a lopsided 1980s gap to a modern matchup separated by just five horsepower, the balance keeps shifting. Watch the video above to see the latest chapter in a rivalry Chevrolet never officially started.
A Procharger-blown C7 Stingray and a nitrous-fed, stroked 455 C6 Z06 lined up on a public street in Mexico for a 60-to-190-mph roll race, and the gap between them stayed close for nearly the entire run. Built and driven by 1320video regular StangKiller, the C7 represents the newer chassis and forced-induction school of Corvette tuning, while the C6 leans on raw cubic inches and instant nitrous torque. Watch to see which small-block philosophy actually crosses the line first.
