Dirt Monkey, a landscaping and construction YouTuber, steps outside his usual lane to compare the Dodge Challenger and Ford Mustang using three criteria most traditional car reviews never touch. The comparison split viewers along brand lines almost instantly, pulled in commenters from as far away as Lebanon debating import pricing, and even fooled one viewer about how much modification a particular Mustang build actually had. Watch to see which criteria actually decided the verdict.
High Tech Corvette put a nearly 1,000-horsepower C7 Z06 up against a purpose-built Chevy Nova in a straightforward roll race, and the result was not the foregone conclusion the horsepower gap suggests. Viewers who expected the modern Corvette to walk away were surprised by how close it actually was. Watch to see which car takes it.
A roll race across a bridge between a 2010 Camaro SS/RS and a 1972 Chevelle big-block should have been a formality – decades of engineering separate the two cars. Instead, four words in the original upload told the whole story: Chevelle won. The unscripted footage has since raked in over 1.4 million views and sparked an ongoing old-vs-new debate in the comments. Find out what gave the fifty-year-old Chevelle the edge.
Pro driver Randy Pobst hot laps the 2016 Dodge Viper ACR around Laguna Seca for MotorTrend’s Best Driver’s Car competition — and the naturally aspirated 8.4-liter V10 manual holds its own against cars costing many times its roughly $120,000 price. It’s the first car in the test to hit 1.5g in a corner. Watch the full lap to see why commenters call it the last of its kind.
The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon left the factory with 840 horsepower, a front-wheel lift kit, and an NHRA-certified 9.65-second quarter-mile at 140 mph — numbers that made it the quickest production car ever built at the time. Getting the engine’s full power required a separate $1 unlock. Watch to see exactly what Dodge built when the brief was simply: fastest, no compromises.
Dodge built the Demon as a drag-strip-ready factory hot rod, and this owner decided factory wasn’t enough — converting his to run on E85 and voiding the warranty in the process. SRTMUSH documents the build with the same unapologetic attitude that’s made the channel a favorite for Mopar fans who’d rather modify than baby their cars. Watch to see what happens when you push a Demon past what Dodge signed off on.
Rocky Mountain Race Week throws a group of street-legal cars making 2,000 to 3,000 horsepower into a five-day, multi-track endurance test through triple-digit Nebraska heat. This 2017 recap follows day one in Kearney, where sleep-deprived racers are still finishing builds the night before testing begins. Watch to see which of these 2,000-plus horsepower street machines actually survive the heat before the real racing even starts.
When one of the first 2019 Chevrolet ZR1s in the country landed at a Kentucky Chevy dealership, salesman Mike Davenport was there to see it delivered. The car reopened a debate that had nearly killed one of the ZR1’s most talked-about options entirely: should you actually buy the manual? Watch to see the car that nearly didn’t get a stick shift at all.
Calvo Motorsports took a factory Dodge Viper ACR Extreme, kept the aero kit and stock 19-inch wheels untouched, and pulled 1750 horsepower from a sleeved version of the production block. The result: 0-200 mph in under half a mile at Texas Invitationals. See why this build still has fans wishing Dodge built it this way from the factory.
A stock 1969 Charger, an authentic Charger Daytona, and a modern Hellcat go through identical wind-tunnel testing to answer a question most muscle car fans get wrong: the Daytona’s towering wing wasn’t primarily about cutting drag, it was about solving a dangerous rear-lift problem at superspeedway speeds. Watch to see smoke trails and pressure data confirm exactly what Chrysler’s engineers were fighting in 1969 — and how differently Dodge’s modern Hellcat was ever meant to be used.
The original Dodge Viper skipped door handles entirely because comfort wasn’t the point. After a two-year hiatus, the reborn Viper had to prove it could add carbon fiber trim, a touchscreen, and heated leather without losing what made the original such a raw, uncompromising machine. Read on to find out how a 640-horsepower V10 roadster ended up quiet enough to actually live with, and still came in under $100,000.
Ford didn’t build one 2013 Mustang, it built three: a 662-horsepower Shelby GT500 chasing 200 mph, a road-course-tuned Boss 302 spinning to 7,500 rpm, and a everyday GT that split the difference. Each one shared the same badge but demanded a completely different kind of driver. Read on to find out which one actually deserved a spot in the garage, and why the Boss 302’s single-year window still matters to collectors today.
At its 2017 Detroit Auto Show press conference, Ford officially confirmed the return of both the Bronco SUV and Ranger pickup, built on a shared body-on-frame platform at its Michigan Assembly Plant. Details were scarce, but the timeline was clear: Ranger for 2019, Bronco for 2020. DPCcars covers the announcement that turned two decades of rumors into an actual product plan.
A driver takes a 2017 Camaro ZL1 out for their first-ever laps on track, sharing the session with a Ford GT — one of the most exclusive supercars Ford has built in decades. With a supercharged 650-horsepower LT4 V8 and a chassis engineered specifically for road-course work, the ZL1 was built for exactly this moment. Watch how a first-timer handles a car with this much capability.
A factory 6.1 liter Challenger SRT8 ran six quarter-mile passes against a numbers-matching 1970 Challenger T/A powered by its original 340 Six Pack engine, then the drivers swapped cars for the final two runs. One viewer said the old T/A ran a 12-second pass despite missing a gear, while another swore they’d never seen the modern SRT8 run that slow. A commenter who owns both cars revealed his girlfriend was driving the new Challenger in her first-ever stick shift track session. So which car actually won?
