A Facebook argument between two racers, Da Boogeyman out of Colorado and Honey Badger out of Oklahoma, turned into a ten-thousand-dollar grudge match at No Prep Mayhem in Wichita, Kansas. The first pair down an unprepped track is always the riskiest run of the night, and this one proves exactly why. David Hildebrand walked away from what happened to his Camaro completely unharmed. Watch to see how fast a bragging-rights bet turns into a total loss.
When Ford realized their Mustangs were being outpaced by Chevy’s Camaros, they brought out the big guns (or engines, rather) with the Boss 302 in 1969-70. This Mustang was like the cool kid at school with its sleek design, minus those non-functional rear scoops. Packed with power, it could hit 0-60 in 6.9 seconds, leaving others in the dust. At $3,720, it was a steal back then, though good luck finding one now that won’t cost you more than a small island!
Muscle cars aren’t just vehicles; they’re an attitude on wheels. Take Eleanor, the iconic 1967 Mustang from “Gone in 60 Seconds,” a true embodiment of muscle car spirit. These beasts, often powered by roaring V8 engines, dominated drag racing from the ’60s to ’80s. With insane torque and horsepower, they offer rides that’ll make your jaw drop—and maybe your toupee fly off. Thanks to innovations like Dodge’s all-wheel drive Challenger GT, driving these monsters isn’t just for sunny days anymore!
In the eternal battle of American muscle cars, it’s the Ford Mustang versus the Chevy Camaro, a rivalry as fierce as cats versus dogs, or pineapple on pizza. Both cars boast impressive speed, style, and the ability to make your neighbor’s morning coffee spill over in envy. While Mustang fans swear by its legacy of power, Camaro enthusiasts tout its sleek design. So, which reigns supreme? It’s a debate hotter than a V8 engine on a summer day, and one thing’s for sure—there’s no wrong answer, just a revved-up ride!
Mustangs and Camaros get most of the credit for being easy classics to restore, but the second-generation Chevrolet Chevelle deserves a spot on the list too, thanks to the same combination of high original production and a deep reproduction parts industry. The real lesson for anyone picking a restoration project is that production numbers matter more than rarity – the muscle cars built in the highest volumes are usually the easiest and cheapest to bring back to life today.
Rev up your Chevy knowledge with the legendary small block saga from 1962 to 1998, focusing on the number 6! The 4.0-inch bore family, featuring the iconic L-48, roared into life in the 1967 Camaro, packing a punch with 300 hp. Over the years, it made its mark in models like the Nova and Impala, even journeying to Australia! EPA regulations tamed its power a bit, but it kept cruising with style. The Corvette’s ZQ3 engine, with its quirky traits, carried the torch, proving that even engines have personality!
John Wischmann rolled into Rocky Mountain Race Week with a black twin turbo big block Camaro and a brutal two-part goal: run seven-second quarter miles at every track and finish the entire event without a single vehicle failure. On a race week that forces cars to drive public roads between drag strips, that is a genuine test of both speed and survival. 1320Video captures whether a car this violent can hold together for a week. See if he pulls it off.
A man who owns a Lamborghini Murcielago, a Ferrari, a Porsche, a Mercedes SLS and an Audi R8 lines them all up — then does a smoky burnout in a supercharged Camaro right in front of them. It is a flex, a joke and a love letter to American muscle all at once, and the supercharger whine makes it unforgettable. Watch to see why the Camaro got the spotlight over a garage full of exotics.
Ford promised a hybrid Mustang for 2020, backed by a $700 million factory investment and a canceled Mexican plant – then the car simply never showed up. The V8-electric hybrid was supposed to match standard V8 power while adding extra low-end torque, built alongside regular Mustangs at Flat Rock Assembly. Years later, Ford’s own CEO has hinted that some form of Mustang electrification is still very much on the table. Here’s what actually happened to one of Ford’s biggest unfulfilled performance promises.
In March 2017, the Ford Mustang topped the Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger in U.S. sales for a fifth straight month, extending a streak that reached 27 of the previous 29 months. But the numbers hid a more interesting shift: Mustang sales were actually sliding fastest of the three, while Camaro and Challenger both posted year-over-year gains. Here’s what the sales charts revealed about the shifting muscle car pecking order.
In June 2017, the Dodge Challenger outsold both the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro for the first time in seven years, a milestone that lined up perfectly with the headline-grabbing launch of the 840-horsepower SRT Demon. The year-to-date numbers told a different story, with Mustang still comfortably in the lead. Here’s how one month, and one halo car, briefly rewrote the muscle car sales order.
Most cars need a full suspension and brake overhaul to handle 100 extra horsepower. The sixth-generation Camaro SS didn’t. Thanks to GM’s stiffer Alpha platform, owners could bolt on a supercharger and push output well past 550 horsepower with the stock chassis intact. The only real cost: a voided factory warranty, quickly replaced by aftermarket coverage built for exactly this kind of upgrade.
A GameStop robbery, a Chevy Camaro, and a police pursuit through the streets of Houston, captured on raw footage that has been viewed nearly a hundred million times. There is a dark irony in a fugitive choosing one of America’s great performance cars as a getaway vehicle. This ABC13 clip captures the high-speed chase and the split-second decisions that made it go viral. Watch to see how the pursuit unfolds and why it still draws millions.
The Chevy Camaro from 2011 to 2013 is a muscle car that roars with power and style, yet whispers “maybe skip the grocery run.” With six-cylinder models offering solid performance and V8s ranging from fast to “hold onto your hats,” it’s all about the thrill. Safety features are top-notch, but visibility? Let’s just say it’s best suited for those who enjoy surprises. The ZL1’s 580 hp engine launches you from 0-60 in 3.9 seconds, perfect for those days when you need to outrun your responsibilities.
