Nineteen million views and counting: a drag racing compilation pits Hellcats, a Tesla, a Porsche, a factory Shelby GT500, and a Corvette ZR1 against a lineup of home-built project cars, including a Chevy Nova rebuilt from the ground up. One viewer joked about losing to “half Optimus Prime.” Watch to see whether money or obsession wins at the strip.
Dodge shipped the 2015 Charger SRT Hellcat with two key fobs, and only one of them unlocked the full 707 horsepower under the hood. Behind that party trick was a four-door sedan capable of an NHRA-certified 11.0-second quarter mile and a 204 mph top speed, numbers no family car had any business posting. Read on to find out how a practical sedan ended up rewriting the rulebook for what a four-door could be.
Eighteen pro-built classic Chevrolets lined up at Auto Club Speedway for the Super Chevy Muscle Car Challenge, and the smart money was on a Camaro to win the handling-focused competition, the way it usually does. Instead, a 1972 Corvette out-drove every single one of them. Watch the full episode to see how the results played out — and how at least one driver managed to hit a cone anyway.
Hector Fraire was 19 when Oklahoma Highway Patrol clocked his 2011 Mustang GT at a jaw-dropping 208 miles per hour on a turnpike, turning a refused traffic stop into a pursuit, an arrest on reckless driving and eluding charges, and a viral story. Comment sections have spent years dissecting exactly what kind of build gets a street Mustang to that speed. The build details are more impressive than the headline.
A muscle car owner’s guide to agreed value coverage, mileage caps, and which insurers actually understand what your classic is worth.
Ford’s fourth-generation Thunderbird never needed to win a drag race to earn its reputation; a 390-cubic-inch FE V8 delivering effortless low-end torque took care of that job while the cabin did the rest. Descended from Ford’s workhorse 352 block, the 390 became one of the longest-running big-blocks of the 1960s, powering everything from family sedans to this luxury coupe. See what made this understated big-block a Ford mainstay for a decade.
When Dodge announced the Viper’s production would end after 2017, it closed out twenty-five years built almost entirely around one uncompromising idea: a V10 engine with no substitute. This video makes the case for what could have kept America’s last V10 sports car alive. The comment section is still arguing about whether it would have worked.
In 1967, Chevrolet borrowed a primetime sitcom witch to help sell a brand-new Camaro that, ironically, was mostly bought with a base inline-six and a three-speed. The commercial folds Bewitched’s magic into GM’s era-defining options culture, where practically everything on the car was a paid extra. It’s a strange, charming piece of Detroit advertising history.
A maroon 1970 Dodge Challenger carries the shape that helped Chrysler finally answer the Mustang and Camaro. Whether it’s running the standard 383 Magnum or hiding a 426 Hemi under that dual-scoop hood, the ’70 R/T remains one of the most legitimately menacing pony cars Detroit ever built.
A 1970 Oldsmobile 442, bought for $1,500 in 1994 and simply driven like any other used car, sits at the center of a story about how undervalued genuine muscle car iron once was. With its W-30 forced-air induction package and a 455 rated at 370 horsepower, this was Oldsmobile’s peak performance statement before insurance pressure forced Detroit to pull back. Watch to hear the secrets most fans never heard.
A 1969 Dodge Daytona and a 1970 Plymouth Superbird — two of NASCAR’s most extreme aero-warrior street cars — sit side by side in one Jacksonville owner’s garage. Both wear the wing and nosecone combination that solved a real aerodynamic problem at 120-plus miles per hour, not just a styling flourish. Find out which one the owner says deserves the edge.
Pop the hood on this factory-black 1963 Plymouth Sport Fury and you’ll find the engine nobody brags about at car shows, and it might be the smarter choice. While everyone chases the 383 Golden Commando, this convertible went a quieter direction entirely. Read on to find out why the less famous engine might actually be the one to own.
Brad Conley owns one of the actual Stage 1 prototype show cars Buick used to prove the GSX deserved to exist before the division ever built one for a customer. Host Kevin Oeste finally met his own childhood dream car face to face at the 2018 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals in Chicago — and Conley did more than let him look. Watch to see what happened when the owner invited him to sit inside.
A movie-pedigree Eleanor tribute, a one-of-503 NASCAR homologation Daytona, and a heavily customized Road Runner all crossed the same Mecum Las Vegas stage in one weekend, selling for a combined $995,500. Each car represents a different reason bidders pay six figures instead of five — provenance, rarity, or pure taste. Watch to see which one drew the fiercest bidding, and which one is still splitting opinion in the comments.
Chevrolet’s own Camaro and Corvette have spent more than fifty years quietly measuring themselves against each other on the street, and neither one has ever pulled ahead for long. From a lopsided 1980s gap to a modern matchup separated by just five horsepower, the balance keeps shifting. Watch the video above to see the latest chapter in a rivalry Chevrolet never officially started.
