Lebanon Ford Performance is selling a purpose-built Mustang capable of mid-10-second quarter miles for $59,995, straight off the dealer lot. The comments split between buyers doing supercharger math and one self-described Mopar loyalist grudgingly admitting the car earns its reputation — sleeper looks, no fender flares, and a question about the warranty that nobody quite answers.
Pontiac hasn’t built a car in years, but a Tallahassee shop called Trans Am Depot will still sell you one — by starting with a fifth-generation Camaro and spending eight weeks turning it into a Hurst Edition Trans Am tribute, gold logo, shaker hood, and all. Between the base conversion, a fully optioned Camaro donor, and a supercharger kit, the final bill can climb past $100,000. Read on to find out what that money actually buys, right down to the carbon fiber sill plates.
Chip Foose unveils the Mach Foose Mustang at SEMA 2017, a build that grafts 1971 Mustang body panels and 1970 rear quarter panels onto a modern 2011 Mustang GT chassis. Viewers call the muted gray paint and subdued stripes seductive precisely because it isn’t loud, a rare restrained choice for a SEMA reveal. Comments pour in from across the world praising Foose’s decades of work, while at least one lifelong Mustang fan says this is the exact car he’d want to own. Watch to see the reveal that stopped the show floor.

Dodge’s engineers found a strange use for the Demon’s air conditioning system – one that has nothing to do with keeping the cabin cool and everything to do with chasing quarter-mile elapsed times. Jason Fenske breaks down the SRT Power Chiller and After-Run Chiller in exact numbers, down to the degrees Fahrenheit they shave off intake air. It’s the kind of detail hiding in plain sight on a factory spec sheet.
Marspeed lines up the Dodge Charger Hellcat, Dodge Challenger Hellcat, Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R against each other and a handful of other rivals, comparing four completely different takes on the same basic idea: how to build the ultimate modern muscle car. From the Hellcats’ brute supercharged torque to the GT350R’s naturally aspirated, road-course-tuned approach, each car represents a different bet on what buyers actually want. It’s a snapshot of 2017’s horsepower arms race at its peak. Watch to see which philosophy comes out on top.
Is the naturally aspirated Corvette Grand Sport really a cut-rate imitation of the supercharged Z06, or is it a legitimate performance variant in its own right? This side-by-side breaks down what the two C7 Corvettes actually share and where they genuinely differ under the skin. See which one actually makes more sense for the money.
Fiat Chrysler’s decision to renew its trademark on the Cuda name reignited a rumor that has refused to die for the better part of a decade: that Dodge might resurrect one of Mopar’s most storied nameplates. The renewal alone proves nothing, since automakers routinely protect names they have no plans to use. Read on to find out what the paperwork actually reveals, and why the speculation keeps coming back.
A 5,300-pound SUV hitting 60 mph in the time it takes to read this sentence sounds like a typo, but Patrick Rall’s in-car footage of a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk running its Launch Control system proves the number is real. Two runs, two nearly identical times, and a supercharged engine borrowed straight from a Hellcat explain how a family hauler ended up embarrassing sports cars at stoplights.
