S2 Ep1
8.0
Pontiac's pony car went racing in 1969, and lives on today as one of the America's favorite street muscle cars. The most famous of all Trans Ams was the one with the 455 Super Duty engine!
S3 Ep14
7.0
Chrysler Corporation finds a whole new image and a whole bunch of new consumers watching Saturday morning TV. The Roadrunner's owners just love the little horn - and the big engines!
S3 Ep12
7.0
Today's Super Sport Camaros and Firebird Firehawks built by SLP outperform the sixties musclecars in every way, from handling and comfort to safety and straight-line acceleration.
S3 Ep8
6.0
Currently the cream of the crop of Detroit's supercars, the Dodge Viper has earned fame and respect as a world-class sports racing car.
S3 Ep9
6.0
The "ultimate" Mustangs - The Boss 302 was the class act in Trans Am racing, and the Boss 429 was simply the most overpowered Pony car Ford ever made...and that's saying something!
S3 Ep11
6.0
From wild, crowd-pleasing drag race exhibition cars, like the Hemi Under Glass, to the Hurst Olds Indy Pace Cars, every car produced by Hurst became an instant classic.
S1 Ep1
7.0
The 1964 GTO is the one that started the whole Detroit Musclecar craze--but it almost never happened. GM's corporate policy wouln't allow such a lightweight car with such a huge engine, but Pontiac "finessed" the rules by making the GTO an option to the Tempest Le Mans. The cost of this option? Oh, about two hundred bucks.
S1 Ep2
Pontiac's GTO is back in 1969 with outrageous paint and graphics, a popular catch phrase, and the 370-horse RAM Air IV engine. What a country!
S1 Ep3
The story of the birth of the Corvette from the introduction of the original 1953 roadster with the "Blue Flame" 6-cylinder engine, the early small-block powered Vettes, the "fuelie" cars featuring Rochester's early fuel injection, and the Route 66 days.
S1 Ep4
In 1967, Chevrolet introduced a car that, thirty years later, is still one of their most beloved automobiles. By 1967, GM had recovered from their reluctance to produce fast little cars. The Camaro was designed to hold any engine in the Chevrolet inventory.
S1 Ep5
Ford went drag racing in 1964 with their new Fairlane and their NASCAR 427 engine. Talk about a ringer! The result was the most mind-boggling car the NHRA stock classes had ever seen.
S1 Ep6
Carroll Shelby's GT-350 Mustang was a limited edition road racer in street clothing. Shelby's GT-500KR was not for the faint of heart. It had every performance option you could get from Ford, plus a big, bad 428 engine. By the way, "KR" stood for "King of the Road."
S1 Ep7
"Yeah, it's a Gran Sport. Wanna race?" And that was usually the last of the conversation as the torque monster from Flint, Michigan buried its competition in the leather-upholstered style. Stage I GS cars boasted the most torque of any U.S. production car EVER.
S1 Ep8
That spells 442, Oldsmobile's entry into the Horsepower wars. With this car, Olds turned the musclecar wars up several notches. Once again those Rocket Oldsmobiles were right in the thick of it!
S1 Ep9
Chevrolet's SS designation originally adorned the high-performance Impalas, but the most popular Super Sport was by far the Chevelle. All it took was the 396 "rat motor" to turn this little grocery-getter into a pavement pounder!
S1 Ep10
The story of the Legendary 409. When Chevy squeezed one horsepower per cubic inch out of this engine in 1962, it sent everyone in Detroit back into the engine lab, and practically everyone else in America to the Chevy dealer!
S1 Ep11
Plymouth's little compact Valiant, with new skin and a huge rear window, became a hot item--once the 383s, 440s and 426 Hemi engines found their way under the hood. Its cousin from Dodge, the Chellenger, was an upscale hot rod with as much luxury as performance.
S1 Ep12
With power-to-weight ratios like rocket sleds, Novas became immediate favorites of the muscle car crowd. If a 327 or a 350 wasn't enough, how about a 375-horsepower 396 in a Chevy II Nova? If you had about three grand and nerves of steel, you could have owned one.
