This 1970 Plymouth Road Runner was bought to be wrecked on camera — positioned as the car Letty rolls in Fast and Furious. The crash scene never happened, and the car disappeared until builder Jamie, who got a Road Runner tattoo at thirteen, brought it back as what one host calls one of the best restomods he’s ever filmed. See how a movie stunt double became a driver’s car.
Project Henchman started as a bone-stock 1969 Pontiac GTO — the kind of car that never got the factory Judge treatment. A frame-off restoration and a 500-plus horsepower LS swap later, it looks every bit the part, but not everyone in the comments is happy about the engine choice. See the build, the backlash, and why one viewer is already using it as a blueprint for their own Pontiac Tempest project.
Dodge built the Demon to dominate the quarter-mile every time. So when carwow lined it up against a Ford Mustang Dark Horse and a naturally aspirated Corvette Z06, the result was supposed to be a formality. It wasn’t. See how a flat-plane-crank Corvette and NASCAR driver Jessie Iwuji upended the expected outcome — and why fans are already demanding a rematch.
A home-built Chevy Nova was never supposed to beat a factory Dodge Demon and Hellcat in the same session — but this built-versus-bought compilation says otherwise. The same video features a fully tubbed green Cuda running close to a nine-second quarter mile against a Lamborghini, with commenters calling the launch alone enough to make them jump. See which home-built cars are outrunning six-figure factory machines.
Aedan’s family bought this 1970 Plymouth Duster 340 new — and nobody had driven it in thirty years. Tom’s Refurb brought it back to life in a single week, rust patches and all, ending with a burnout that had viewers’ jaws on the floor. One commenter, a mechanic with fifty-four years of experience, said he’d never been more impressed. See how a generational survivor got its attitude back.
No-prep drag racing strips away the sticky, prepped launch pads that make horsepower predictable, and that chaos is where Chris Hamilton’s small-block turbo Mustang, known to Street Outlaws fans as BoostedGT, has built its reputation. Running as little as 347 cubic inches backed by a single 88mm turbo, the car regularly beats bigger, naturally aspirated rivals at grudge events like Bounty Hunters. The formula trades displacement for boost and tunability, which turns out to matter more than raw cubic inches once the track gets slippery.
A naturally aspirated 605 cubic inch Mopar big block making 800 horsepower sounds like it belongs under a modern turbocharged hood, not a classic Dodge Charger. Stroking a factory B/RB big block to this size takes it well past anything Chrysler engineers built at the factory, and it puts this Charger in the company of other 605-inch Mopar builds chasing the same big-inch, no-boost philosophy.
Chevrolet rated the 1969 Camaro Z/28’s DZ 302 at just 290 horsepower — a number dyno testing later proved wildly conservative, with real output closer to 400. Built from a hybrid 327/283 combination specifically to slide under SCCA Trans-Am’s 305-cubic-inch limit, the small-block powered Chevrolet to back-to-back championships against Ford’s Boss 302 Mustangs. Read on to find out how a rulebook loophole became one of the most respected engines Chevrolet ever built.
A 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle gets dragged out of a hay barn and rebuilt from the ground up on PowerNation, with new body panels, an upgraded suspension, and a big-block Chevy engine dropped under the hood. Hosts Marc and Tommy finish the car in a dazzling metallic baby blue before taking it for a payoff drive through the Smoky Mountains. A sharp-eyed viewer — a professional locksmith — even spotted a shortcut the crew missed for the broken trunk lock. The build has become a fan favorite for its patient, drama-free approach to bringing a forgotten classic back to life.
This 1968 Dodge Charger restomod has drawn reactions in at least six languages since it went up, with viewers calling its blacked-out grille everything from menacing to vampiric. Underneath the coke-bottle body line sits a fully modernized chassis and an exhaust note tuned to sound as aggressive as the car looks. The build description calls it a fusion of vintage muscle and modern engineering. See the finished Charger in motion to judge for yourself.
Throttle House hosts Thomas and James put an 807-horsepower 2020 Dodge Challenger SRT Super Stock through its paces on a closed test track, running the supercharged Hemi that Dodge certified at 10.5 seconds and 131 mph in the quarter-mile. Priced at $106,645 CAD, the Super Stock sits atop the Hellcat family as one of the most extreme factory-built muscle cars Dodge ever sold. The review doubles as a farewell note, arriving as the gas-powered Challenger’s production run was nearing its end. Comments below split between nostalgia for Dodge’s V8 commitment and complaints about the car’s brakes and traction struggling to match its power.
Creator Sick McVick films an entire burnout tutorial from the passenger seat, breaking down exactly how to smoke the tires in a 1970s automatic muscle car — a technique manual-only guides never cover. The car itself has drawn comparisons to the black Nova from Tarantino’s Death Proof, with multiple commenters independently spotting the resemblance. Beyond the driving lesson, the video’s loose, high-energy style has viewers comparing the host to a mashup of two well-known comedic actors. The result is equal parts instructional content and pure car-culture entertainment.
This 1967 Chevy C10 is part of GM’s first ‘Action Line’ generation, the truck era widely credited with turning pickups from bare-bones work tools into vehicles people actually wanted to drive. By 1968, factory buyers could option as much as 325 horsepower straight from the showroom floor. Here’s what made this generation such a natural starting point for street truck builds.
Throttle House hosts Thomas and James test the 2026 Dodge Charger Sixpack, the gas-powered, twin-turbo six-cylinder version of Dodge’s new Charger platform making 550 horsepower for $54,995 USD. The review — bluntly titled ‘Welp’ — splits the hosts between cautious optimism and open disappointment. Commenters piled on over the car’s roughly 4,800-pound curb weight, heavier than a Toyota Highlander hybrid despite carrying no EV battery, and a plastic engine cover that misrepresents the inline-six’s cylinder layout. It’s a pointed look at whether Dodge’s post-Hemi Charger can actually deliver on the muscle car promise.
Most SEMA show trucks lean on wild paint and radical bodywork to get noticed. This 1968 Chevrolet C/10 does the opposite — a cleaned-up stance, deleted mirrors, and a supercharged LS3 under the hood that does the talking instead. Here’s why restraint can be the harder trick to pull off at a show built around going over the top.
