Before the 2018 model year, a rendering claiming to reveal a revived three-door Chevrolet Chevelle spread online, complete with invented horsepower figures and a suspiciously plausible price tag. It never happened — Chevrolet never built it, and the Camaro remained the brand’s only performance coupe. Read on to find out what the rumor actually claimed, and why fans wanted a modern Chevelle badly enough to believe it.
The 2013 Chrysler 300 SRT8 wears no hood scoop, no rear wing, and nothing that separates it visually from the six-cylinder rental-lot version parked next to it. Then you step on the gas, and a 470-horsepower 6.4-liter Hemi puts a lot of imported performance machinery in the rearview mirror. Launch control, three suspension modes, and a 175 mph top end round out one of the best sleeper sedans Detroit ever built. Read on to find out what makes it work.
In 1943, a bull named Reventón killed a matador in the ring. Decades later, Lamborghini named its most expensive car after it and built only twenty for the public. The 2008 Reventón borrowed its 6.5-liter V12 and all-wheel-drive chassis from the Murciélago LP640, wrapped it in jet-inspired carbon fiber, and was clocked at 221 mph in real-world testing. Read on to find out what made this rare machine worth $2 million.
Nate Rider put a real number on what it costs to turn a classic Mustang into a modern restomod — starting around $35,000 for a road-ready build with a Coyote swap, updated suspension, and a completely reworked interior. The full breakdown, and the warnings from viewers who’ve done it themselves, might change how you budget your own project. Watch the full cost breakdown above.
Restomod builders spend years blending classic muscle car looks with modern reliability, and then Dodge handed shoppers a finished version of that dream on a new-car lot. The Challenger held its retro shape for its entire production run while Mustang and Camaro moved on. So what was actually still missing from it? Read on for the case enthusiasts made, the answers Dodge gave instead, and how the argument ended.
The 2013 SRT Viper GTS paired a 640-horsepower, 8.4-liter V10 with real stability control and Brembo brakes — the first Viper generation built to back up its speed with genuine handling credentials. On Pirelli Corsa tires, it posted a lap time at Laguna Seca that beat the Corvette ZR1, and it went even quicker on slicks. A 33-unit Time Attack edition and a factory GTS-R race car pushed the formula further still. Read on for how Dodge finally built a Viper that could out-brake its own engine.
