The Way It Was: Shelby GT350
Our memories of the way things were are not always an accurate depiction of reality. This competition version of Carroll Shelby’s GT350 is a rare and very fast piece of American racing history. While the street-bound versions were rare (and expensive) enough, this competition version pegs the needle. A time capsule of Ford heritage, it is perfectly restored, and has an amazing race lineage. What a treat!
Burnout 101
Vaughn Gittin Jr. is well known for his tire-searing drifting skills. On new Ford Mustang’s equipped with the Track Package option, even the most rookie drivers can do a burnout like a pro. The looks on the faces of these newbie drivers as they light up the tires for the first time is well worth the time spent watching this entertaining video.
Ultimate Camaro
As noted in our Speed News section, the new Camaro ZL1 1LE is the fastest Camaro to ever take on Germany’s Nurburgring, beating out the regular ZL1 Camaro sans 1LE suspension and chassis tuning. But until you see just how fast it goes around the track, hitting speeds in excess of 170 mph, you just can’t get the full effect. Take a ride!
Rust-O-Mud
Barn finds are one thing, but vehicles that have spent more than 30 years in the backyard rarely see a full restoration. Check out this restoration of a ’72 Torino that was built for a guy who requires hand controls to drive. This cool story features a wonderful ending.
Why Mechanic’s Swear
Scotty Kilmer is well known for his informative and unusual “How To” videos. A veteran mechanic, his stories usually focus on helpful points about fixing cars or how to shop for vehicles. This one is pretty funny, not the least of which is because of his unique filming techniques — and Scotty’s huge head. Enjoy!
