Ringbrothers built their 1969 Camaro ‘G-Code’ with a supercharged 416 cubic inch V8 making a claimed 1,000 horsepower, Detroit Speed suspension, one-off IROC-inspired wheels, and an interior one commenter compared to a Pagani. TheSmokingTire took it out to find out if a SEMA showstopper like this could actually be driven — and the reaction in the comments is split down the middle. Watch to see which side you land on.
This 1970 Plymouth Superbird was built to win NASCAR races, not just look fast — but the detail everyone remembers is the horn, which plays an actual “meep meep” straight out of the Road Runner cartoon. Between the original $4,794.62 window sticker and the aerodynamics NASCAR forced onto the design, this in-depth walkaround finds a lot more than a gimmick. Watch to hear the horn for yourself.
Mike Finnegan trades his own garage for a seat at Kaase Racing Engines, where a 5.0L Coyote wearing a Borla individual throttle body stack gets strapped to the dyno with Holley’s Robin Lawrence on tuning duty. The pull produces serious torque and a number that has commenters guessing all over the place. Watch to see what the Coyote made, and what it cost to get there.
Ford Performance and Roush Performance don’t put their names on aftermarket power numbers lightly, which is what makes this dealer-installed supercharger kit for the 2018 Mustang GT and F-150 worth paying attention to. The kit pushes the Mustang to 700 horsepower and the F-150 to 640, all while keeping the factory warranty fully intact. See exactly what Ford is backing and why it still matters for Coyote-powered owners.
A tenth of a second separates the 2018 Chevrolet Camaro SS’s 0-60 time from the 2018 Ford Mustang GT’s — 4.3 seconds to 4.4 — which meant Edmunds editors Carlos Lago and Mark Takahashi had to look well past the stopwatch to settle this one. Between a $37,000 Camaro with a 455-horsepower V8 and a Mustang that climbs toward $49,000 once optioned up, the real story is what each car costs to actually get what you want. Watch to see which one they picked, and why.
Jason Fenske’s Engineering Explained video takes a skeptical premise — can a motor oil really go a full year, or 20,000 miles, without a change — and turns it into a two-day tour of Mobil 1’s actual testing facility in Paulsboro, New Jersey. It’s detailed enough that even the video’s own top comment from an engineer viewer admits marketing claims and engineering data don’t always tell the same story. Watch to see exactly what convinced Fenske, and what one sharp-eyed commenter thinks the testing still left out.
The 2018 Chevrolet Camaro SS and 2018 Ford Mustang GT both make around 460 horsepower, both reach 60 mph in under 5 seconds, and both cost roughly the same amount of money — which means the decision between them comes down to what the cars feel like, not what the spec sheets say. Edmunds put both through a full track and street comparison to find out which one actually does fun better. The answer is more nuanced than the horsepower numbers suggest. Watch to see which car Edmunds chose.
