Dodge Demon Fires Up
The Dodge folks are pretty good at teasing their future muscle cars, the original launch of the Dodge Challenger/Charger Hellcats case in point. During the last few weeks, they have been teasing the impeding release of the new Dodge Demon Hellcat that kicks the horsepower bar up another notch — if you can believe that. This link takes you through each stage of the video reveal, beginning back in January through to the public reveal. Take a look at their creative way they build audience. For Mopar fans, it’s Christmas.
Top Five Muscle cars of 2017
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jTxCMx5mJE
This very cool video reviews the top modern muscle cars offered today, in great detail. The usual suspects are present, including the Camaro Z/28, Shelby GT500, and Challenger Hellcat, but the video delivery is really engaging. We really enjoyed watching this French guy run the GT500 around the LeMans Circuit. We’re not sure what he is saying, but the close-up of the tach running to redline speaks to us.
Why We Loved Trans Am Racing in the ’60s
So, you were too young to attend any of the original Trans Am races back in the day. Well, join the club. But, if you want to see the restored racecars, formerly driven by Donohue, Posey, Follmer, or Parnelli tossed around the track by some super talented guys, this is the video for you. Filmed at Watkins Glen in upstate New York, not even ABC Wild World of Sports could have captured this kind of footage back in 1970. The in-car video is amazing spliced into some professional on-track race coverage that makes for excellent viewing. If you love classic Trans Am pony cars in competition, check this one out.
Mopar Barn Finds – Part 1
While everyone dreams of finding a 427 Cobra in the local barn, the reality of such a find is plenty improbable. Regardless, we do like to see when something is uncovered after years of neglect. This video series, called “Auto Archeologist,” takes a look in a couple of barns packed with some real gems. If you are a Mopar Fan, the stuff this guy finds in the first episode is pretty crazy and worth the tour. From Cudas to hemi Superbees, this barn tour is truly priceless.
