Did Google just spill the beans on the 2017 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500? It seems like the cat might be out of the bag, as Ford enthusiasts have been spotting camouflaged prototypes zipping around for a while now. Most folks thought this beast would roar into 2018, but surprise—2017 might be the year! Is Google playing Santa with this muscle car secret, or are we all just jumping the gun? Either way, it looks like Ford’s gearing up to unleash something wild pretty soon!
Dodge set out to build a Challenger that beat its own 707-horsepower Hellcat and back it up with more onboard technology than any SRT before it. The Demon’s New York Auto Show debut delivered both: an 840-horsepower Hemi and drag-strip-specific tech most manufacturers reserve for actual race cars. It’s proof that fast and sophisticated don’t have to be mutually exclusive in Detroit.
Original stainless trim can be brought back to a mirror finish with nothing but hammers, dollies, and a patient wet-sanding progression — 180 grit up through 3,000, with water washing away debris the whole way. It takes longer than buying repro, but the fit and finish still beat anything off the shelf.
Dodge built the Demon as a drag-strip-ready factory hot rod, and this owner decided factory wasn’t enough — converting his to run on E85 and voiding the warranty in the process. SRTMUSH documents the build with the same unapologetic attitude that’s made the channel a favorite for Mopar fans who’d rather modify than baby their cars. Watch to see what happens when you push a Demon past what Dodge signed off on.
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!
Ford rated this Mustang’s big block at just 375 horsepower, a figure almost nobody who drove one actually believed. Built to satisfy NASCAR homologation rules and assembled outside the factory by an outside engineering firm, this car packed race-bred internals most buyers never fully understood. Discover why enthusiasts still debate its real output decades later, and how a Hemi-inspired head design ended up under a Ford hood.
Rocky Mountain Race Week throws a group of street-legal cars making 2,000 to 3,000 horsepower into a five-day, multi-track endurance test through triple-digit Nebraska heat. This 2017 recap follows day one in Kearney, where sleep-deprived racers are still finishing builds the night before testing begins. Watch to see which of these 2,000-plus horsepower street machines actually survive the heat before the real racing even starts.
When one of the first 2019 Chevrolet ZR1s in the country landed at a Kentucky Chevy dealership, salesman Mike Davenport was there to see it delivered. The car reopened a debate that had nearly killed one of the ZR1’s most talked-about options entirely: should you actually buy the manual? Watch to see the car that nearly didn’t get a stick shift at all.
Aftermarket transbrakes have been a drag-strip staple for decades, but no manufacturer had ever built one into a car straight from the factory floor — until Dodge did. Here is how the system locks multiple clutches at once to hold a car dead-still under full throttle, and what that means for reaction times once the light goes green. The engineering behind this one feature says more about the muscle car horsepower wars than most spec sheets ever could.
Rumors chasing the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon”s horsepower figure climbed past 900 before SRT”s engineers ever finished their own testing. When the official SAE-certified number finally landed, it told a different story — one backed by an NHRA-certified quarter-mile run instead of internet speculation. Here is what the real number turned out to be, and why it did not need any exaggeration to make history.
An ordinary commute turned into an extraordinary sighting when this creator passed a warehouse full of exotic and muscle cars being seized by the DEA and U.S. Marshals — combined value pushing toward four million dollars. From a Diablo Roadster to a heavily modified American muscle car, see what was inside before it scattered to auction forever.
A fan rendering imagines the Shelby GT350R wearing police livery, but the fantasy holds up better than most once you look at the real car underneath it. The GT350R’s 5.2-liter Voodoo V8 revs to 8,250 rpm and makes 526 horsepower, the highest-revving naturally aspirated V8 any American automaker has ever built.
A stock 1969 Charger, an authentic Charger Daytona, and a modern Hellcat go through identical wind-tunnel testing to answer a question most muscle car fans get wrong: the Daytona’s towering wing wasn’t primarily about cutting drag, it was about solving a dangerous rear-lift problem at superspeedway speeds. Watch to see smoke trails and pressure data confirm exactly what Chrysler’s engineers were fighting in 1969 — and how differently Dodge’s modern Hellcat was ever meant to be used.
Air Flow Research built V8BUILDS to answer a question every gearhead has quietly asked at a static car show: how would these things actually run? The autocross-and-show hybrid started small at Willow Springs International Raceway before outgrowing itself, and its next stop lands at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana. Classic muscle, resto-mods, pro touring builds, and V8-swapped imports are all welcome on the cone course — because at V8BUILDS, the only membership requirement is a V8 doing real work under the hood.
Legendary Motorcar’s Dream Car Garage tracked down a pristine 1969 Plymouth Road Runner for a segment that still draws comments from people who owned one the first time around. The story behind the car runs deeper than its cartoon-licensed horn: a no-frills muscle car built to undercut its own siblings on price, and the rare A12 “Six Barrel” package that made it one of the most feared cars at any stoplight. Watch to see why the Road Runner still commands this kind of loyalty decades later.
