Video: The New 2018 Corvette C7 ZR1 Sounds Amazing!!

by Kiril

Carspotter Jeroen caught a camouflaged Corvette ZR1 prototype mid-test, its supercharger whining like, in one viewer’s words, a TIE fighter, complete with visible exhaust flames and a Mercedes seemingly overtaken in the process. Filmed near known manufacturer testing routes before Chevrolet ever confirmed the car’s final specs, the footage remains a rare, unscripted look at the development mule behind one of the most track-focused Corvettes Chevrolet has built. Watch to see what gave this disguised prototype away.

by Jack Harmon

Pontiac Trans Am 1979 WS6 4-Speed

by Kiril

Ordering the W72 400 in a 1979 Trans Am forced you to take the WS6 handling package and a four-speed manual as well, with no exceptions. That bundle produced 220 horsepower, 320 lb-ft and a 0-60 run of 6.90 seconds in the middle of the malaise era. Only 2,485 were built in that configuration without T-tops, with another 2,917 wearing the T-top roof this one has. Read on to find out why 1979 was the cutoff.

The Coyote Swap Playbook: Why This 1970 Mustang SportsRoof Traded Its Small-Block for a Supercharged 5.0

by Jack Harmon

A 1970 Ford Mustang SportsRoof gets a complete heart transplant on PowerNation’s Detroit Muscle, swapping its original small-block for a supercharged 5.0-liter Coyote V8 paired with a Tremec TKX five-speed transmission. The build leans on ARP fasteners, Detroit Speed headers, and a custom belt-drive system to make the modern powerplant fit a decades-old engine bay. Viewers in the comments debated the real cost of the swap, with one builder pricing out a $305 header alternative to the show’s $3,500 name-brand set. The result is a classic fastback built to run with cars its original engineers never had to worry about.

A Family of Rats Nested in This Mustang’s Engine Bay – Then Westen Champlin Dropped In a 2,000-HP Big Block

by Jack Harmon

Westen Champlin’s Mustang build didn’t start with an engine — it started with a family of rats living in the engine bay. What followed was a fully built 2,000-horsepower big block, a fabrication job that pushed the Mustang’s chassis to its limits, and a viral moment involving an unexpected Camaro joke. With more than 11.5 million views, it’s become one of the biggest builds this channel has ever released. See how a rodent eviction turned into one of the year’s most talked-about engine swaps.

by Jack Harmon

A 1965 Dodge Monaco spent roughly forty years buried and forgotten before Dylan McCool’s team pulled it back into the light — and paired it with a second wrecked car nobody else wanted. What followed was a fully custom body swap and a budget Hemi build that reportedly turned a profit instead of draining one. Fans in the comments are already asking for a sequel. See how two written-off cars became one running Hemi-powered Monaco.

Six V8 Muscle Cars the Collector Market Still Hasn’t Caught Up To — All Under $20,000

by Jack Harmon

Six V8 muscle cars share one thing in common: real pedigree, and a price tag that still starts with a one. While Hemi Cudas and Boss Mustangs keep climbing past six figures, these cars have been quietly overlooked — including one viewer’s own 1973 Nova, bought new for ninety-nine dollars a month. See which cars the collector market hasn’t caught up to yet, and why that window may not stay open much longer.

by Jack Harmon

This 1970 Plymouth Road Runner was bought to be wrecked on camera — positioned as the car Letty rolls in Fast and Furious.

See how a movie stunt double became a driver’s car.

A Bone-Stock 1969 GTO Just Got the Judge Treatment It Never Had — And the LS Swap Is Only Half the Story

by Jack Harmon

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.

A Home-Built Chevy Nova Called Out a Factory Dodge Demon and a Hellcat — Only One Walked Away Happy

by Jack Harmon

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.
