What’s better than starting the week with a good ol’ fashioned drag race? The Smoking Tire crew has revved-up a 2011 Shelby GT500 to match a 600 HP 2011 “Firebreather” Camaro. The Camaro’s name may intimidate but who knows? Maybe it’s the GT500 that will reign supreme. Check out the video below to see which supped-up American muscle brings the most to Malibu canyons.

Hoonigan decided to give us a special treat, an absolutely iconic Ford battle. On the docket we have a Ford GT Carbon Edition vs. an AWD Hoonicorn Mustang with 1,400 horsepower. The thing is, the Hoonicorn has yet to be defeated. Is today the day the legend falls? Find out, right here.
What do you get when you mix a Shelby GT500 and the best of the best in the industry? One hell of a souped-up ride. Dawning a “blurple” exterior, the Shelby GT500CR started out as a 1967 Mustang until Jason Engel and his team at Classic Recreations got their hands on it. Check out what kind of magic they worked:
For $234,000, you could have one just like it.

The Ford Thunderbird is undoubtedly an American auto icon. The ‘bird featured today was gifted to retired NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon back in 1991 after he won the Busch Series Rookie of the Year Award, and it’s currently up for auction on Cars and Bids. It’s got front-engine and rear-wheel drive, and an Essex 3.8-liter supercharged V6 with 210 horsepower and 315 lb-ft of torque. Unfortunately the seller isn’t Jeff Gordon – but the glove box is signed by him. Check it out, right here.

Sure, everyone wants performance in a sports car, but performance on a budget? Even better. The Ford Mustang has a reputation for being one of the best budget-conscious performance cars money can buy. But even the base model is subject to price creep. Exhibit A: a base GT will set customers back $35,630, and that’s before you add all the bells and whistles. And the cheapest Performance Package Mustang with a V8 will cost over $40,000. With that being said, there’s a cheaper option that will give you all of the performance goodies, but keep you on a budget. Enter: the Boss 302.
The Boss 302 is powered by a 5.0-liter Coyote V8 producing 444 horsepower through a six-speed manual transmission. The performance specs include a 0-60 time of 4.2 seconds, and a quarter-mile time of 11.72 seconds. When the 302 was new, back in 2012, it came with a starting price of $40,145. But now, you can scoop yourself up a used version starting at $20,000. We’re thinking you can get your hands on a decent model anywhere from $25,000 to $30,000.
