The Fisker Flex: 725-hp Mustang

Today, the Danish have taken over American muscle (and you’re gonna like it). Henrik Fisker AKA the man behind the Aston Martin DB9, BMW Z8 and his own Karma has taken a stab at Mustang design. This is the Galpin-Fisker Rocket, a 725-hp, carbon-fiber-bodied Mustang and it speaks for itself. So thank you, Fisker for a modern take on the beloved 1960s Ford model.

Cunningham LeMans Corvette

This is the 1960 #1 Cunningham LeMans Corvette. Just one of three, this rare ride was restored and then hit the auction block where it raked in millions. Before then, though, it was listed on Craigslist for only $700.. if only you caught it at $700, right? Check it out:

1979 Trans Am Firebird

Visiting the garage today is a an American classic, made famous by the Smokey and the Bandit movie. It’s a 1979 Pontiac Trans Am, courtesy of Audrain Automobile Museum. The car is exactly how it left the factory. That’s right, no modifications, no add-on. So we can imagine that driving this thing is like taking a trip back to 1979. Take a look at the episode below and find out why Jay says that Firebird never got the recognition they deserve, and why he believes they were always overshadowed by Camaro. Enjoy.

Dodge Demon Goes 203-MPH

In its purest form, the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon can hit a top speed of 168 mph. But for some crazies out there, that just doesn’t cut it. Enter the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) included in the Demon Crate. One noteworthy detail about the PCM is that it allows for the  use of 100-octane fuel, enabling the V8’s full 840 horsepower. That, paired with a set of Pirelli P Zero tires, and it’s all over.

It’s shocking what a couple (seemingly) minor upgrades can do. The owner of this monster headed to the 2.3-mile Johnny Bohmer Proving Grounds in Florida back on February 10th, 2018. The 203-mph run was verified using Tag Heuer professional timing equipment, so we can assure you this is the real deal. See for yourself, right here.

Dyno Test: 808-HP Mustang Heritage

Well, well, well. What do we have here? A couple years back, one of our favorite tuning shops, Hennessey Performance revealed the 2019 Heritage Edition Ford Mustang to celebrate the 10,000th car milestone. The red car is based on a Mustang GT and sports the HPE800 performance upgrade. The upgrade provides a staggering 808 horsepower and 677 lb-ft of torque.

The numbers from the Dyno test came in at 673 horsepower and 526 lb-ft. Sure, it’s a bit lower than what the upgrades suggest, but we’re still impressed. Hennessey built just 19 units of the Heritage Edition Mustang for around $89,950 each. Check out the dyno test, right here. Enjoy.
