Muscle Cars

It seems that pitting a supercar against a jet aircraft never goes out of style. Depending upon the length of the course and the vehicles involved, sometimes victory goes to four wheels, while other times it goes to two wings. Car versus rotary-wing aircraft (aka helicopter) throw-downs are a bit...

Codenamed Project Ultraviolet, one of Chrysler's next SEMA specials is a Challenger SRT8 built in cooperation with Mopar, SRT, and ... Jeff Dunham. If you're wondering what a ventriloquist/comedian has to do with muscle cars, you're certainly not alone. The question may or may not be answered after...

From a profitability perspective, hiring a pro drifter to run factory tours probably isn’t the best idea. Even a driver like Vaughn Gittin Jr. (who just finished second in the 2012 Formula Drift championship) occasionally misjudges distances, meaning that a car or two will need to go back to...

When it comes to hot rods, muscle cars and pro touring cars, superlatives are often handed out as freely as bumper stickers on the campaign trail. Everyone claims to have the best handling, the fastest or the most artfully-built ride, but chances are good you’ve never heard of the car that...

With the introduction of an updated VF Holden Commodore pegged for early next year, HSV, official tuner to Holden, will be introducing its own new models based on the car in the form of the F Series range. Prototypes for HSV’s F Series are already testing in Australia, and according to...

If you’re looking for a seriously fast muscle car, the 2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is one of two outstanding options you have these days (the other, of course, is the 2013 Ford Shelby GT500). From the showroom floor, the ZL1 makes some 580 horsepower at the crank, which is good enough to get...

Even though it seems like it should be impossible, almost every year the car industry brings forth new and impressive feats of engineering, packaging, and value. Faster, more efficient, more feature-filled, and better-looking--just as it appears the end is in sight (cf. the "horsepower wars"), one...

While it’s pretty clear that Chrysler will launch an updated version of the Barracuda under the SRT brand for the 2015 model year, there appears to be some doubt on whether or not such a model will coexist with the current Dodge Challenger. Just a few weeks back we presented the argument for...

Shelby American showed off its 2013 GT500 Super Snake at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, but details on its latest Mustang-based supercar were harder to come by than reasonably-priced hotel rooms. Now, thanks to Mustangs Daily, we have all we need to know about Shelby’s latest...

Jonathan Ward’s company, Icon, is best known for producing stunning rebuilds of the Toyota FJ Land Cruiser, the Jeep CJ and, most recently, the original Ford Bronco. Icon vehicles are built without compromise, and priced accordingly. That raises the question of how many buyers will actually...

While there is no shortage of rare and desirable Mustangs affiliated with Carroll Shelby, it’s hard to top a car that’s one of one, especially when the saved-from-the-crusher car was never intended to be more than a Ford design study. Inspired by the success of the “California...

To paraphrase Mark Twain, “rumors of the Dodge Challenger’s demise may be greatly exaggerated.” Despite the anticipated introduction of the SRT Barracuda (perhaps the worst-kept secret in Auburn Hills), it now appears that Dodge may not be killing off the Challenger after all...

Corvettes at Carlisle wouldn’t be complete without the annual tire-shredding burnout contest smoke-athon. This year’s event was no exception to the rule, and the top honors went to John Marshall and his “mildly modified” 1972 Corvette. By “mildly modified,” we...

Ford’s next-generation Mustang isn’t due to hit dealers until sometime in 2014, likely as a 2015 model. Despite the fact that Ford has been careful not to release too many details about the car in advance, speculation over the next Mustang is again heating up. First, its widely believed...

Some models of the 2013 Chevrolet Camaro range will sport a frameless mirror with electrochromic capabilities.

A downloadable app for customizing your dream Mustang is now available for the 2013 model.

To honor the late Carroll Shelby a group calling itself the “Friends of Carroll Shelby” and consisting of numerous firms including the likes of Ford, Shelby American and Ford Racing has built a one-off tribute car based on the 2013 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. Unveiled this weekend at one...

If you’ve wondered why Arnold Schwarzenegger hasn’t had much face time on the big screen of late, the answer is simple: from 2003 until January of 2011, the bodybuilder-turned-action-film-star was busy with another job, namely running the state of California. Now that his political...

Ford’s Special Vehicle Team, or SVT, has been making Mustangs (and other Ford products) faster since the debut of the SVT Mustang Cobra in early 1993. To honor the 20th anniversary of SVT, Ford will roll out a special display in Mustang Alley at this year’s Woodward Dream Cruise. Over...

Chevy promised its 2012 COPO Camaro would slip under nine seconds for the quarter mile, and now the car has delivered.
