Frank Soldridge’s pass at the No Mercy radial-tire event puts a Dodge on its rear wheels at a speed most cars never reach on all four. The front end stays up, the car keeps accelerating, and by the finish line the timing slip shows a number that still stops viewers mid-scroll years later. Watch how a wheelie bar, a dialed-in launch, and a driver who refused to lift turned a potential disaster into one of drag racing’s most replayed passes.
Twenty of the internet’s best car mechanical failures, stitched together with no narration: a truck bed bouncing like an intentional lowrider setup, a sunroof leak bad enough to turn a car into a luxury model with a pool, and an engine bay fire escalating in seconds. Viewers have picked apart nearly every timestamp in the comments. Watch to see which failure earns the biggest reaction — and which one you have secretly worried about happening to your own car.
International Dyno Authority walks a rough-idling 1969 Camaro Z28 through a full carburetor tuning session, chasing a damaged choke plate, float adjustments, and jetting changes one dyno pass at a time. The result: a 20 percent horsepower gain and 12 percent torque gain, entirely from tuning — no new parts required. It’s a clear, step-by-step reminder of how much power a poorly adjusted carburetor can quietly hide.
Enzo Ferrari reportedly called it the most beautiful car ever made, and the Museum of Modern Art keeps one in its permanent collection, which is not something most sports cars can claim. The Series I E-Type ran from 1961 to 1968 on a 3.8 liter twin-cam six with triple SU carburetors, and the earliest cars have identifying details worth serious money. Read on for what separates a flat-floor car from everything that followed.
A recent horsepower-per-dollar ranking crowned the Chevrolet Camaro the best value on sale, fitting, since the ranking landed during the models final production year. From the 455-horsepower Camaro to unexpected contenders like the Tesla Model 3 Performance, here is where cheap horsepower lives now, and how it compares to the muscle car bargains collectors still chase today.
A wet road in Grand Prairie, Texas turned into a cautionary tale when a Mustang driver challenged a GTO to an impromptu race – and the GTO driver said no. What happened next, caught entirely on dashcam, has racked up nearly 600,000 views and sparked a running debate over what the Mustang driver should have done differently. The GTO driver, meanwhile, earned respect for staying out of it and stepping in afterward. See how quickly a bad decision on slick pavement can unravel.
Dodge and the Fast and Furious franchise have been tied together since Dominic Toretto first tore the wheels off his father’s 1970 Charger. By The Fate of the Furious, that relationship had grown into a full co-branded campaign called Muscle Heaven, built around a fleet of silver-and-black Challenger SRT Demons. The timing was not accidental. Read on to find out what Dodge was actually proving with it.
Jay Leno almost passed on his now-famous McLaren F1 twice, calling the roughly $800,000 asking price ‘crazy’ before coming back two weeks later and buying it anyway. That car is worth north of $20 million today, and Leno has turned down offers to sell it — proof, he says, that buying a classic because you love it beats buying one purely as an investment. It’s advice that applies whether you’re shopping for a hypercar or a muscle car.
Gold paint, a high-revving 302 small-block, and a decade-long restoration — this 1967 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, filmed at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals, turns out to be the very first Z/28 Chevrolet ever produced. Owner Jon Mello spent ten years getting it right after discovering exactly what he had. Watch the full story behind Chevrolet’s original Trans-Am homologation special.
Shelby American’s answer to the F-150 was not a lift kit and a set of tires. It was a Whipple supercharger on the 5.0-liter Coyote V8, 750 horsepower, a lowered chassis, and a price approaching six figures — three hundred horsepower more than the Raptor Ford was building at the same time, and only 150 of them for the model year. Read on to find out what Shelby actually changed, and why a street truck rather than a desert runner was the point.
This 1968 Dodge Charger was hidden so deep in an old junkyard it wasn’t even visible from the road — and it might still be sitting there if a family hadn’t decided to buy it on the spot. The car’s condition surprised viewers, but the real standout was a young kid confidently correcting an adult’s Super Bee trivia. Watch to see the find and the moment that had everyone talking.
In 1969, Plymouth paid Warner Bros. for the rights to a cartoon bird, its signature meep-meep horn, and an entire ad campaign built around outrunning a coyote. This commercial captures that gamble at its peak, arriving the same year the Road Runner won Motor Trend Car of the Year over cars that cost far more. It is proof that a genuinely fast car could still afford to be a little ridiculous. Watch the pitch that convinced a generation of buyers.
A Porsche 911 GT3 lined up against a Shelby Cobra and lost the launch so badly its clutch started smoking before the tires ever got the chance — and the comments haven’t let it go since. Buried in the thread is a genuinely wild fact about how fast an original 427 Cobra actually was in period. Watch to see the launch that started it all.
More than a million buyers drove home in a Chevrolet Impala during 1965 alone – a single-model-year record that’s never been broken. Behind that number sat an engine lineup ranging from a thrifty six-cylinder all the way up to a 425-horsepower 396 Turbo-Jet V8. The photos above, courtesy of Gateway Classic Cars, capture why this generation still turns heads at cruise nights today. Sales records aside, this was a genuinely well-designed car.
