Video Rewind is where we point out interesting videos found on the internet. Whether they are historical, funny, dramatic, technical, or whatever. We like them, so we thought you might too.
V8 Club Ukraine – Muscle cars
If you thought Ukraine, formerly part of the USSR, was only full of Skodas and Zils, guess again. America has conquered a small group of avid American late model muscle car fans. This video shows their latest club meeting, including a Stetson-topped car clubber who clearly loves the smell of tires in the morning.
Muscle Car Hunting with a GMC Syclone
While the talents of the Hellcat Challenger, Camaro, and Shelby Mustang drivers in this video are questionable, this GMC Syclone is more than impressive turning trap speeds of over 155 mph on the Virginia Hal Mile event. Clearly the owner has turned up the wick on this impressive, and rare, all-wheel drive Syclone. There is no discounting the power output of this very fast little truck.
Shelby Terlingua Tears Up the Track
Just in case the images in our Shelby Skunkworks tour deeper in this issue don’t give you enough of a ride, this video certainly will. With 750 hp on tap, this is a wild ride not to be missed, and the reason the Terlingua name is so well respected in muscle car circles.
Crashing the 2017 Camaro Z/28
Things go sideways during a development test when the rear wheels of this Camaro lock up and the car hits the safety barrier. The driver appears to be unharmed. The car however, not so much.
Safe at Any Speed
While watching expensive late model muscle cars being destroyed is not our favorite hobby, watching these slow motion tests with 2016 Camaro, Mustang and Challenger models gives a real sense of the amount of time spent keeping you safe when you drive. Just the amount of engineering used to make these cars perform well in these types of accidents is impressive. Camaro and Mustang achieved good ratings, the Challenger had issues. Good stuff to know.
