The 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A, a one-hit wonder in the muscle car world, is like the unicorn of the automotive realm—rare and highly sought after. Imagine being one of the lucky 1,410 automatic owners, and to top it off, having a triple black paint job that screams “I’m too cool for color!” With a 340 Six Pack engine that sounds more like a caffeinated beast than a car, this street version of the Trans Am race car is enough to make any muscle car enthusiast drool like a dog at a barbecue.
In the high-octane realm of Texas street racing, two titans clash: BoostedGT’s turbocharged Ford Mustang and the enigmatic Black Jesus. Both speed demons are armed with small block engines, sporting turbo setups and small tires, making this showdown a true driver’s race. As these street machines roar to life, the only thing more intense than their horsepower is the rivalry fueling this epic race. Get ready for a battle where the only thing more at stake than pride is rubber on the road!
I’ve managed to ruin quite a few cars, each in its own unique, disastrous way. From overzealous engine mods that left me stranded, to paint jobs that looked more like abstract art gone wrong, my automotive adventures have been a series of unfortunate events. Take my Dodge, which went from roaring beast to a sputtering mess after a DIY turbo install. Or the time I tried to give my old Civic a lowrider look, only to end up with a suspension that had more bounce than a trampoline. Ah, the memories!
Title: Drag Racing on Dallas STREETS!
In the heart of Dallas, where the rubber meets the road in a symphony of roaring engines, it’s a free-for-all with a “run what ya bring” mantra. Picture this: a flat black turbo LSx Nova that’s as stealthy as a ninja, a nitrous small block Nova that’s more explosive than your uncle’s 4th of July BBQ, and a Firebird that’s a sleeper hit, literally. These beasts race under the moonlight, proving there’s no speed limit on fun—or horsepower!
The Corvette Stingray 1967, the last and sleekest of Gen 2, was a real head-turner, boasting five jaunty louvers and a hood scoop that meant business. Under $40k might get you a small-block ’67, but expect a few repair surprises! Inside, Chevy spiced up the upholstery and moved the handbrake—finally. The L88 option? A beast meant for the track, not Sunday drives, with its 103-octane diet and whopping 560 bhp. It was more rocket than car, with a top speed of 194 mph and an attitude to match.
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!
