Chevrolet built the ultimate track-ready C7 Corvette, then deliberately left out the supercharger everyone assumed was the whole point. The 2017 Grand Sport got the Z06’s wide body, brakes, and chassis hardware paired with the Stingray’s naturally aspirated LT1. It sounds like a compromise on paper and turned out to be nothing of the sort. Read on to find out why so many buyers picked it over the more powerful car.
Ron Rufo wasn’t shopping for a car when he pulled into a Tinley Park show and happened to park beside a white 1959 Pontiac Bonneville convertible. It won Best of Show that afternoon, he struck up a friendship with the owner, and in 2001 the car became his. It’s also the model year Pontiac widened its track five inches and built an entire brand identity around it. Read on to find out what Wide-Track really changed.
For two model years America built a pair of homegrown supercars that could embarrass European exotics, and enthusiasts have never agreed on which one did it better. The 2015 Corvette Z06 brought 650 supercharged horsepower and a chassis GM had spent a decade sharpening. The 2016 Viper ACR answered with a naturally aspirated V10 and the most extreme aero package Dodge ever built. Read on to see where each one actually wins.
Tom Bailey’s twin-turbo 1969 Camaro, known as Sick Seconds, makes more than 3,300 horsepower on roughly 20 pounds of boost and has run 6.94 seconds at 208 mph in the quarter-mile. What separates it from every other car capable of those numbers is that it drives home afterward instead of riding a trailer. Here is how a street-legal first-gen Camaro ended up on the wrong side of drag racing’s oldest dividing line.
A supercharged 1969 Plymouth Barracuda rolls into a European car meet and delivers one of the cleanest single-take burnouts on the internet — no cuts, no second attempt, just a blown Mopar doing exactly what it was built to do. Filmed at Vantaa Cruising in Finland, the clip has spent years resurfacing to new audiences drawn in by the supercharger’s snarl and the crowd’s reaction. Watch to see why one unbroken shot has outlasted countless more polished burnout videos.
This 1968 Ford Mustang GT Fastback carries the S-code designation Ford reserved for its 390-powered cars, a step below the legendary Cobra Jet but a genuine leap over the small-block base models. Fully documented with extended photos at MyRod.com, the car draws comments from owners who’ve spent forty years building their own fastbacks and buyers cross-checking every spec against the fender tag. See what makes an S-code car worth the extra attention.
This 1970 Chevrolet Nova hides a built 355 small-block and four-speed Muncie transmission behind classic sleeper styling — no rust, straight body panels, and none of the visual cues that would tip off a stoplight rival. Read on to find out how a hopped-up small-block Nova compares to what Chevrolet actually put on the showroom floor that year.
This 1958 Oldsmobile 88 carries the era’s 371-cubic-inch Rocket V8 and the one-piece wraparound backlight that replaced the old three-strut rear window design. It’s a survivor from the model year that earned Oldsmobile the unofficial nickname ‘ChromeMobile’ — and from the depths of a national recession that hit full-size car sales industrywide. Read on to find out what made this quietly capable cruiser more than just a chrome showcase.
This 1969 Dodge Dart, nicknamed ‘Poison’ by Pennsylvania’s Spuds Garage, wears a Hemi that has nothing in common with what left the factory — and a stance that’s already splitting opinion in the comments. Between wheel debates, tire recommendations, and genuine appreciation for the build’s sound and presence, the reaction says as much about Mopar culture as the car itself. Watch the turnaround and see what all the arguing is about.
A single 102mm turbo would already turn heads in most parking lots, but this Mustang runs two of them side by side, chasing horsepower numbers that put it firmly in Pro Mod territory rather than daily-driver territory. Getting there means a built short block, upgraded fueling, custom ECU tuning, and an intercooler sized to handle serious heat, since no factory Mustang was ever engineered around hardware like this. Read on to find out just how much power a combination like this can actually put down.
This 1970 Dodge Charger R/T pairs the 426 Hemi with a rare EB3 Light Blue Metallic and black vinyl top combination — one of just 56 Hemi Chargers built with an automatic transmission that year. Read on to find out why so few buyers said yes to the Hemi’s steep price tag, and how the engine paid off on Dodge’s most successful NASCAR season yet.
Pro Street builders have spent decades chasing four-digit horsepower numbers while keeping their cars just barely street legal, and this 1969 Camaro SS pushes that formula to roughly 1,800 horsepower. Stretched, tubbed rear quarters and a reinforced Dana 60 rear end hide underneath bodywork that still reads as a classic first-gen Camaro. Read on to see what it actually takes to get a muscle car this far past factory spec.
A parking lot, a rotating cast of American V8s, and zero scripted moments — this burnout compilation captures a silver Trans Am’s textbook-perfect run, a Hellcat’s unmistakable supercharger whine, and a GTO cameo that earns its own two-word tribute in the comments. It’s the kind of unpolished, crowd-driven car culture moment that keeps finding new viewers years after it was filmed. Watch to see which car steals the show.
A 3,000-horsepower claim from a Pontiac Firebird sounds like exaggeration until you look at what’s actually bolted to the engine — twin 98mm turbochargers feeding a 622 cubic inch big block Chevy, nearly 170 cubic inches past anything GM ever built in a production big block. Nicknamed ‘Birdman’ for its flamethrower antilag wheelies, this build sits at the extreme end of what’s being attempted in the twin-turbo Firebird world today. Read on to find out how that number stacks up against other extreme turbo Firebird builds — and whether 3,000 horsepower is actually believable.
