By 2014, the Dodge Charger SRT8 packed a 470-horsepower V8 and genuine track-ready braking into a car still priced around $30,000 — less than half what comparable European performance sedans cost at the time. Getting there took three model years of shared engineering with the Chrysler 300, a redesigned face, and an engine lineup that kept growing without ever changing the car’s basic bones. Read on to find out how this generation closed out with a genuine value argument, not just an attitude.
Edmunds editors James Riswick and Mike Monticello go head-to-head over the 2015 Ford Mustang GT and Dodge Challenger R/T, debating performance, comfort, and interior quality without ever fully agreeing on a winner. Nearly a decade later, the comments are still split down the middle between Mustang’s sharper handling and Challenger’s back-seat practicality. It’s a rivalry that’s only grown more entrenched with time. Watch to see which side of the debate you land on.
The IROC-Z name is back — not as a factory Camaro trim, but as a modern revival project unveiled at SEMA by builder Mark of Lethal Garage. In this interview, he walks through full pricing, what buyers actually get, and clears up one big misconception: there’s no race series returning, just driving classes and a yearly charity race among owners. It’s a deep dive into what it takes to responsibly resurrect a nameplate with this much history behind it. Watch to hear the full story straight from the person building it.
Chevrolet’s sixth-generation Camaro SS hides its real performance decision inside a single options box, not a trim badge. The 1SS and 2SS share the same 455-horsepower LT1 V8 and differ mainly in interior equipment, while the 1LE package layers track-tuned suspension, Brembo brakes, and a shorter final drive on top of either trim. This comparison breaks down exactly what separates a base 1SS from a loaded 2SS, and why the 1LE badge matters more than either one. Watch to see which combination actually fits how you’d drive it.
A stretch of Houston road became the unlikely battleground for an 840-horsepower Hellcat, a 1300-horsepower GT-R, a 1200-horsepower Trans Am, and a handful of boosted Ford Coyote Mustangs nobody expected to keep winning. Lone Star Street Racing’s cameras caught the results, and they did not follow the horsepower numbers on the thumbnail. Watch to see which platform actually backed up its bragging rights on the street.
The 2014 Corvette Stingray spent seven years and three delayed launch dates becoming GM’s answer to a demographic problem nobody wanted to say out loud. Carbon fiber panels, a 455-horsepower LT1 V8, and a completely redesigned cabin were only part of the plan — the rest played out in a video game and at Indianapolis. Read on to find out how a seventh-generation Corvette tried to out-argue its own reputation.
A $240,000 McLaren MP4-12C and a forty-year-old Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 line up for a quarter-mile grudge match that starts as a joke and ends as a real argument about value. The Chevelle’s 13.7-second pass impressed viewers enough that the comments turned into a debate about depreciation instead of horsepower. One of these cars has held its worth. The other hasn’t. Watch which one wins where it actually counts.
A Pennsylvania shop got one of the first 2019 Corvette ZR1s onto a dyno before almost anyone else in the country, turning Chevrolet’s 755-horsepower factory claim into a real, verified number. The comment section has since turned the whole video into a running joke about everything this ZR1 supposedly did “first.” Behind the humor is a genuinely important early data point for the most powerful Corvette GM had built to that point. See what the rollers actually revealed.
Tom Nelson of Nelson Racing Engines has built some of the most respected high-horsepower LS combinations in the business, and in this Drive feature he spends twenty minutes explaining exactly what makes the platform special — knowledge dense enough that commenters started calling him “Motor Yoda.” One viewer even backed up his points with a 130,000-mile Camaro SS that never missed a beat. Watch to find out what separates a good LS build from a great one.
Cornerstone Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram in Elk River, Minnesota gives a full walkaround of a brand-new 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, the factory drag car that needed its own legal reclassification just to leave the lot on street-legal drag radials. The video runs through the full 15-trim Challenger lineup surrounding it and the details — from the second PCM to the missing exterior badge — that made the Demon unlike anything Dodge had sold before. Watch to see what a genuine Demon allocation looked like in person.
At SEMA, Fullboost’s Luke tracked down Johnathan Goodwin to find out how his “electronic supercharger” — a battery-and-motor bolt-on that boosts power without hurting fuel economy — actually works, bolted to a 1957 Pontiac instead of the Hummer it had quietly been tested in months before. The same hot rodders who usually chase cubic inches were suddenly asking about kilowatts. Watch to see exactly how the E-Charger fills a turbo’s torque gap.
A brand-new, completely stock 2018 Mustang GT heads straight to the strip — break-in period be damned — with the owner’s wife and daughter along for the ride. The 119 mph trap speed on box-stock tires drew immediate praise from viewers, but it’s the family moment at the end, and the years of comments from people rewatching it since, that turned a simple run into something people keep coming back to.
When Chrysler’s 6.4-liter HEMI SRT V8 launched, it used a pushrod layout that critics considered outdated — and still made 470 naturally aspirated horsepower across the Charger, Challenger, 300, and Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8. Chief engineer Gary Rogers explains the engineering decisions behind the numbers directly in this Insider Interview. Watch to understand why an ‘old’ engine architecture kept winning arguments it wasn’t supposed to win.
Justin Pritchard puts a 2018 Dodge Challenger T/A 392 through its paces for AutoTrader Canada, opening with a Call of Duty comparison that’s since become one of the most quoted lines in the car’s comments. Owners weigh in on second-gear thrills, twisty-road composure, and where this trim sits against the pricier Hellcat. A currency mix-up over the car’s roughly sixty-one-thousand-dollar price tag adds its own twist. Watch to see why so many buyers call this the sweet spot.
This isn’t just another Super Snake — it’s VIN number one, the very first 2017 Shelby Super Snake Mustang built, and Shelby American’s own president is the one showing it off at Barrett-Jackson. Between a 750-horsepower Whipple supercharger and a price tag that climbed nearly 20,000 dollars in two years, this white-and-blue Mustang has more going on than its paint scheme lets on. Watch to see what makes build number one worth chasing.
