When Dodge announced the Charger was going fully electric, muscle car fans revolted online — so Edmunds’ Brian Wong put the new Charger Daytona Scat Pack head-to-head against the outgoing Challenger Scat Pack to settle it properly. One relies on instant electric torque, the other on a supercharged Hemi’s building roar, and neither wins as cleanly as either side of the internet argument predicts. It’s the most honest look yet at what “muscle car” means in an electric era. Watch to see which one Edmunds actually recommends.
The Shelby GT350’s flat-plane Voodoo V8 revs to a screaming 8,250 rpm — and it’s the reason many call this the best Mustang ever built. In this review, the host finally drives a car he’d wanted since its 2015 debut, running an E85 tune and that glorious Tremec manual. His verdict: it exceeded even his high expectations. Watch to hear the Voodoo engine sing all the way to redline.
The Rochester Quadrajet looks like an odd mismatch under the hood — tiny primary bores paired with oversized secondaries — but that spread-bore design was GM’s answer to balancing economy and power in one carburetor. From the mid-1960s through the late 1980s, it fed everything from grocery-getters to big-block muscle cars, and a botched rebuild can quietly cost an engine a quarter of its output. Here’s what actually happens inside a proper rebuild, and why the process changes depending on which year Quadrajet you’re working on.
Before dyno sheets and spec pages, a muscle car’s reputation was built in a straight line over a quarter mile. Factory weapons like the 80-unit 1968 Hemi Dart could reportedly dip into the 9-second range, while the Hurst/Olds 442 and Royal Pontiac-tuned GTO chased similarly wild numbers in their own right. Each of these cars was built for one specific purpose, and their factory-documented performance still holds up against far newer machinery. Which of these legends actually deserves the fastest-of-the-decade title?
Most Edelbrock carburetor headaches have nothing to do with the carburetor. Muscle Car Solutions walks through the setup steps that actually matter: correct fuel pressure, a proper baseline, an air-fuel-ratio gauge, and the calibration chart that ships in the box and almost never gets used. Dial those in and the engine that felt lazy and rich suddenly wakes up. It is the difference between chasing ghosts and actually tuning.
