The 1987 Monte Carlo Aerocoupe gets the NASCAR headlines, but the quieter LS trim outsold it by a wide margin that year. Standard throttle-body injection modernized the 4.3-liter V6, while an optional 5.0-liter V8 added real muscle through the same four-speed automatic. Production numbers and pricing reveal a car built for everyday buyers, not superspeedways, and one that closed out the G-body era on its own understated terms.
Drag racing legend Don Garlits personally introduces the HellScat, a one-of-a-kind Dodge Challenger engineered past 1,000 horsepower and built specifically to be given away for charity. The name mashes up two existing Dodge trims, but the build goes well beyond anything either one offered from the factory. See why a figure as credible as Garlits was the right person to tell this car’s story.
This vintage road test puts Ford’s flagship 1968 Shelby GT500KR — the “King of the Road” — through its paces, complete with a narrator whose catchphrases are still being quoted in the comments decades later. Viewers reacted to a 6.2-second acceleration figure with genuine disbelief, while others noted the era’s characteristic brake fade after repeated hard stops. One commenter even claims The Doors’ Jim Morrison owned one. Watch to hear “happy time” for yourself.
Street Car Video brings out what it calls the fastest V3 Cadillac CTS-V in the country to face a Kenne Bell-supercharged Shelby GT500 and two Hellcats pushing past 800 horsepower each. A luxury sedan against dedicated muscle car hardware sounds like a mismatch on paper. Watch the full lineup to see whether the CTS-V’s supercharged LT4 can actually keep up.
A private collection lends V8TV one of only eleven 1971 Plymouth Hemi Cuda convertibles ever built, and host Kevin finally gets the drive commenters say he has been owed for a while. Between a documented 3.5 million dollar auction result for a sibling car and a sharp-eyed viewer spotting real rust in the tailpipe, this episode of Muscle Car Of The Week turns a routine drive into something closer to an event. What does it actually feel like to finally get behind the wheel of the car everyone calls the top fish?
A modestly modified 2003 SVT Cobra lines up against a brand-new, completely stock 2016 Corvette Z06 in this DirtySS street pull, and the result has split comment sections for years. Longtime Mustang owners argue the horsepower math doesn’t add up for a bolt-on Terminator to hang with a factory-supercharged Z06, which only fuels the debate over what’s really under that hood. The footage keeps circulating precisely because nobody can fully agree on the answer.
WYCO Racing’s Operation Octane no-prep event turned the pit road at Kansas Speedway into a proving ground for genuinely street-driven cars, no dedicated race builds allowed. A supercharged Mustang Cobra, an Eagle Talon, and even a four-door CTS-V all took their turns on unprepped pavement. Watch to see which daily driver came out on top when the safety net of sticky racing rubber disappeared.
Boosted Bertha is a 1965 Chevrolet C10 wearing a supercharger and a stance that puts the rocker panels within an inch of the pavement, but the reason a build like this works starts with a decision Chevrolet made back in 1963. Underneath the boost sits a coil-sprung chassis that was already better than anything else in the segment, plus a small-block architecture that takes to forced induction easily. Read on for what Chevy actually sold in 1965 and what these trucks bring now.
This Redline review puts the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody through its paces, tackling the question every 707-horsepower muscle car eventually has to answer: how do you actually put that much power down on the street without spinning the tires at every stoplight? The fix borrows parts straight from the Demon’s playbook. Watch the full review to see whether the Widebody package actually delivers.
Ford built 472,121 Mustangs for 1967, and fewer than five hundred of them carried the K-code Hi-Po 289 with its solid lifters, 10.5:1 compression, and 271 horsepower at 6,000 rpm. This Wimbledon White convertible claims to be one, wearing a GT Equipment Group that was real hardware rather than a stripe kit. Telling a genuine car from a convincing tribute comes down to one character in the VIN. Read on for what to look for.
Road Test TV lines up one of only 182 factory-built 428 Cobra Jet Cougar Eliminator four-speeds against an equally rare 1969 Chevelle SS396 running the high-winding L78 396. It is a genuine Ford-versus-Chevy grudge match between two cars scarce enough to anchor any serious muscle car collection. Watch the full quarter-mile pass to see which rare survivor comes out ahead.
A stock sixth-generation Camaro ZL1 already runs the quarter mile in the low elevens straight off the showroom floor. Vengeance Racing decided that was a starting point, built one past 1,000 rear-wheel horsepower, and ran a 9.58 at nearly 153 mph, the quickest sixth-gen ZL1 in the world at the time. Then they went considerably further. Read on to find out how far the platform can actually be pushed.
This Redline review digs into the 2017 Cadillac CTS-V, a 640-horsepower sedan built around a supercharged LT4 V8 shared with the Corvette Z06 — and a car that a former Cadillac salesperson in the comments calls a genuine monster to drive. It’s American muscle wearing a suit, aimed squarely at Germany’s best. Watch the full review to see why so few people talk about it.
A countdown of the six largest production engines General Motors ever built draws exactly the kind of comment section you would expect from a genuinely technical audience, including one commenter’s joke that working on a 496-cubic-inch big-block requires a mandatory cigarette dangling from the mouth at all times. Beneath the humor sits real engineering history, including a detailed explainer on how GM’s divisions once each built their own competing V8 platforms. Watch the full countdown to see which engines made the cut.
Dodge never built a Challenger convertible on the assembly line, and for most of the Hellcat’s life the only way to get one involved shipping a brand-new car to a specialty shop in Florida and waiting. The Plum Crazy example that made the rounds started exactly that way. Years later Dodge made the arrangement official, quoting the conversion at $25,999 and routing cars straight from the factory to the shop. Read on to find out how a roofless 707-horsepower Challenger became a semi-official product.
