Nearly five minutes long and first aired on NBC’s American Dreams to launch the redesigned 2005 Mustang, this commercial tells the story of a Marine coming home to a driveway surprise from his father. The comments reveal a twist the ad never states outright, plus a running debate over whether it even counts as a true Ford commercial rather than just a Mustang one. Even self-described Chevy loyalists admit it’s hard to dislike. Watch to see why it still gets shared more than fifteen years later.
This LS engine teardown starts with the same uncertainty every rebuild does — you never quite know what years of neglect actually did until the first bolts come loose. Viewers ranging from lifelong diesel technicians to first-time builders have weighed in on the technique, debating everything from head bolt removal order to a cheap salvage-yard 6.0-liter with an oddball factory quirk. Watch to see exactly what comes out of this engine, one bolt at a time.
For three weeks in early 2017, Dodge fed the internet nothing but teasers for its upcoming Challenger SRT Demon, letting forums debate whether it would top the Hellcat’s 707 horsepower. The eventual reveal delivered 840 horsepower, a 9.65-second quarter mile, and a Guinness-certified wheelie — numbers big enough to justify weeks of speculation. Read on to find out how the hype campaign actually played out.
Dodge tried to stop dealer markup on its 3,300-unit Demon with a serialized dash plaque bearing each buyer’s own name and priority pricing reserved for orders at the $84,995 MSRP. Dealers in South Carolina, Tennessee, and Louisiana found the workaround within weeks anyway, auctioning off the right to be that at-MSRP buyer on eBay for bids that reportedly topped $75,000. Read on to find out how Dodge’s own leadership responded once the loophole went public.
Ryan’s Mustang looks like an ordinary, clean S550 until you learn it’s making 930 wheel-horsepower through a fully built motor and Procharger supercharger, built for everything from weekend blasts to half-mile racing. Gears and Gasoline rides along to find out what that much power actually feels like from the passenger seat — fuel economy be damned, by the driver’s own admission. Viewers have called it one of the best sleeper builds they’ve seen on the platform. Watch to find out what 1000 horsepower is really like.
This decade-old compilation from HighSpeedManiaNET catalogs five dyno runs that went sideways — literally, in at least one case — from a Shelby with enough power to break the machine itself to an engine viewers could hear drop from eight cylinders to six mid-pull. Commenters have spent years timestamping the chaos down to the second, arguing over which fail is the worst of the bunch. It’s a reminder that strapping a car down doesn’t always mean it’s staying put. Watch to see all five.
This 1967 Ford Mustang GTA convertible isn’t just another K-code — Marti Report data confirms it’s one of the last 289 High-Performance convertibles built at Ford’s San Jose plant, and one of only 16 built with an automatic transmission. Finished in a rare Lime Gold over a white top, it packs 271 horsepower, factory disc brakes, and the same high-rpm hardware Ford gave cars built to be raced. V8TV walks through why this Brothers Collection Mustang matters to K-code collectors. Watch to see what made it one of just 50.
Mute Motors sets an ambitious premise — twelve cars that could credibly outrun a 1968 Corvette — and then actually delivers, mixing homologation-special Mopars, a nearly extinct ZL1 Camaro, and European legends like the Ferrari 250 GTO and Lamborghini Miura into one countdown. Watch to see which cars made the cut, and why each one earns its spot.
A 740-horsepower supercharged LS3 Corvette lines up against a 770-horsepower supercharged Coyote Mustang, and the extra 30 horsepower isnt the whole story. RedmaroProductions captures a tight, hard-fought pass where shift timing and driver execution end up mattering as much as the numbers on paper. Comments erupted over which side needed the driver mod more, keeping the decades-old GM-versus-Ford rivalry alive at the strip. Who actually crossed the stripe first?
This 1974 Oldsmobile wears Yellow Blaze Metallic paint tied directly to Hurst/Olds fourth appearance at the Indianapolis 500 that year. Fewer than 1,800 production Indy 500 Pace Car package cars were built, each offered with either a 350 or 455 cubic inch V8. Oldsmobile even supplied Delta 88 convertibles for parade duty around the same event.
A 1967 television commercial for the Pontiac GTO sold horsepower the way modern car ads almost never do – through swagger, identity, and a voice actor’s delivery that viewers are still praising decades later. One commenter even traces BMW’s Ultimate Driving Machine slogan back to what Pontiac was already doing here first. Watch to hear the pitch that built a legend.
Hennessey built the Exorcist Camaro ZL1 to push a factory 650 horsepower platform to 1,000 horsepower and a 217 mph top speed. A larger supercharger, custom camshaft, and ported heads make the jump possible without sacrificing the factory warranty structure. A Final Edition run of just 57 cars marked 57 years of the Camaro nameplate.
Ford Performance and Roush Performance don’t put their names on aftermarket power numbers lightly, which is what makes this dealer-installed supercharger kit for the 2018 Mustang GT and F-150 worth paying attention to. The kit pushes the Mustang to 700 horsepower and the F-150 to 640, all while keeping the factory warranty fully intact. See exactly what Ford is backing and why it still matters for Coyote-powered owners.
This 1966-titled Cobra isn’t an original — it’s a Factory Five build, and one commenter’s assumption that it carried a seven-figure original price tag says everything about how thoroughly this replica nails the look. Underneath sits a built, supercharged 302 making roughly 450 horsepower, plus a detail original Cobras never had: power steering. The full walkaround reveals what separates a good kit build from a great one.
A turbocharged Buick Regal Grand National running an estimated 1,000-plus horsepower crashes into the wall during a quarter mile pass, though everyone involved walked away. Commenters identified the car’s history in detail, a previous 427 LSX block swap from an earlier turbo V6 setup that once ran an 8.3 second pass, plus a 106mm turbo and a 5,500 RPM stall converter. Viewers debated what actually caused the crash while praising the driver’s safety. What really goes wrong when four-figure horsepower meets an eighth of a second of bad luck?
