Growing up in a family where muscle cars are practically a family heirloom, Scott F. shares his thrilling experiences from his grandfather’s dealership. From test-driving Mach 1 Mustangs to his mom’s street-racing triumphs in a big block Bonneville, speed runs in their blood. Even now, Scott’s Mustang GT keeps the legacy alive, impressing even his fearless mom at 135 mph. As Scott quips, life would be mundane without Detroit’s V8 muscle to rev up the excitement!
SpeedKore’s carbon fiber beauties are making jaws drop at SEMA 2016! These aren’t your grandma’s muscle cars; think 2017 Dodge Challenger Hellcat, Ford Mustang GT Fastback, and the classic 1970 Plymouth Cuda and Dodge Charger, all wrapped in sleek carbon fiber. It’s like if Batman had a garage sale, and you’re invited! The craftsmanship is so stunning, even the other cars are jealous. SpeedKore isn’t just raising the bar; they’re launching it into orbit!
Rev up your nostalgia engines, folks! Today’s star is a 1965 Plymouth Belvedere II hardtop—an absolute classic that screams, “I was born to drag race!” Fresh from the imaginary ’60s showroom, it’s powered by a beefy 440cid V8 with enough tweaks to make even your grandma’s hair stand on end. With its pristine body and interior, this Plymouth is just waiting to leave the competition in the dust, probably while blaring some righteous rock ‘n’ roll. Just remember, speed limits are not suggestions!
Imagine cruising in a brand-new muscle car, freshly rolled off the assembly line, with the job of pushing it to its limits. That was the life of a car magazine writer in the heyday of muscle cars, like Eric Dahlquist from Hot Rod. Testing these beasts on mountain roads and dragstrips was all in a day’s work. It’s hard not to envy those days when every test drive was a first date with soon-to-be legends of the automotive world, all while having the coolest job on the planet.
The Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat reigns supreme in the muscle car world, packing a jaw-dropping 707 horsepower in a four-door configuration. It’s the ultimate family muscle car, perfect for those who need to haul more than just groceries. Meanwhile, the SpeedKore “Tantrum” takes things up a notch, blending a classic Charger with 1650 horses to create a supercar hybrid that’s anything but green. And if you’re still craving nostalgia, a 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona was found rusting in a barn, proving that even legends need a little beauty sleep.
Casey Underdahl’s quest for the ultimate 1969 Camaro began with a ‘ready for paint’ illusion that quickly turned into a DIY horror story. Picture this: a car slathered in body filler and seam sealer, hiding a world of metal woes underneath. But Casey, undeterred, saw potential where others might see a money pit. With his father, Barry, they transformed this Camaro from a Georgia peach of a headache into a Minnesota masterpiece of style and performance—a true G-Machine triumph!
In a world where muscle cars are known for their roaring engines and rear-wheel drive antics, the 2017 Dodge Challenger GT crashes onto the scene with a surprising twist: all-wheel drive. That’s right, folks—no longer will you have to choose between muscle and traction, as this beast offers the best of both worlds. So, if you’re tired of losing drag races every time it rains, the Challenger GT might just be your ticket to becoming the strongest muscle in America, rain or shine!
