by Kiril

This 1978 Chevrolet Corvette 25th Anniversary Pace Car turned up at Corvette Mike Midwest in Burr Ridge, Illinois, in the black-over-silver Indy 500 Pace Car livery that made it an instant classic the year the C3 finally got its wraparound fastback rear window. Dealership co-owner Bill Kotzum, who has specialized in Corvettes since 2004, walked through what makes this particular Pace Car edition worth seeking out. Watch to see why one fan spent forty years chasing this exact car after seeing it in a magazine.

Dodge Charger 1968 Custom & AMAZING 1300 HP Engine

by Kiril

A 1968 Dodge Charger with a Hemi is a familiar story. This one hides a twin-turbocharged 8.0-liter Dodge Viper V10 making 1,300 horsepower, roughly triple what the engine produced in a factory RT/10. Getting a V10 that was never designed for boost to survive that kind of power takes forged internals, a billet intake and a fuel system built for E85. Read on to find out why the 1968 Charger keeps getting picked for swaps like this.

by Kiril

A 1964 Corvette with an engine that rises above its own roofline is not built to blend in. This Pro Street build claims 2,600 horsepower from a stacked, blown big-block that turns the car’s hood into an afterthought, putting it in the same conversation as some of the most extreme builds the genre has ever produced. Read on to see where that claim actually stacks up.

1000HP 1968 Plymouth Road Runner “Old Runner” & Engine Sound

by Wes

Dennis Ermi’s 1968 Plymouth Road Runner wears a custom Pearlescent Orange and Black paint job and hides a 472-cubic-inch big-block built to make somewhere around 1,000 horsepower, numbers that have nothing to do with the nameplate’s budget-muscle-car reputation. Ermi has owned the car since 2009 and built it up gradually, the paint and engine work both added well after purchase. Viewers keep coming back to one detail in particular: the blower whine. Watch to hear it for yourself.
