SHEA WEIDLER’S 1972 BMW BAVARIA.

"Before I could even walk," Shea tells me, "I had this little highchair on wheels that my pops would sit me in so that I could roll around the garage while he worked on restoring a 1972 Chevy C20." Where some infants find solace in latching their tiny hands around rattles and bottles, Shea's were clutched to the shank of a wrench, covered in grease and grime. It was evident from the get-go to the Weidlers that their son wasn't going to stray far from his old man's passions. "That man has owned so many cars I seriously have lost track," he says. There is one car, however, that stands out amongst the countless cars that have made their way in and out of the Weidler garage. "He owned a BMW e21 for quite some time at one point growing up. I believe that one was what really caused me to fall in love with German cars."

How Three Dual Quad Hemis Have Killed Hundreds Of Cars Over The Last 40 Years. By Brian Lohnes

I may write lots of headlines that are on the sensational side, but this title is one hundred percent true. The three Chrysler Hemi engines you see in the photo above and below have violently killed hundreds, maybe thousands of cars since the early 1970s and two of the three are still at it every day…even today. The good news is that their automotive murders have helped save countless lives and limbs. What the hell does all of this mean? Read on to discover the story of the murderous Hemis that have helped humanity.

The Calspan Corporation is located in Buffalo, New York and is one of the premier automotive and aerospace safety companies in the world. The company began life as Cornell Aeronautical Lab and was eventually spun off into Calspan. As pioneers in the field of automotive crash research and its documentation, Calspan needed something to keep themselves at the forefront of that industry in the early 1970s. What they came up with would change the course of automotive history, but it required horsepower…and lots of it.

Calspan engineers had come up with an idea that would advance crash testing well beyond the limits of crashing a single car into a fixed object in the form of a wall, another car, or guardrail, etc. The wanted to recreate real world accidents with moving cars and different angles among other situations. They devised a pulley and tow system using steel cables to propel the cars and called up Chrysler to order up all the horsepower that they needed to move the driverless vehicles. That call netted the lab three solid lifter, dual quad, top of the heap Hemi engines that would provide the last piece of their puzzle.

The engines were installed in an interesting manner. As you can see below, one engine sits by itself while two engines are installed front to back and linked together. You can also see the two Torqueflite transmissions which passed the power from the crankshafts to the driveshafts and ultimately onto the winches which pulled the cables and moved the cars. We’ve tried like hell to dig up as much info on these things as we could but the best we can figure is that the two engines hooked together were used to get the cars moving while the third was used to actually maintain their speed once it was achieved. There had to be some sort of rudimentary computer that controlled the speed of the vehicles as a human controlling the throttle wouldn’t be completely accurate. Taking another stab, we’re going to guess that a big transmission from a truck or piece of heavy equipment was used to hook all three engines together and that a truck or heavy equipment rear end was used to spool the reel of cable. Those were pieces readily available a the time this was built and were certainly strong enough to handle the loads.

Amazingly, two of the engines are still powering test crashes today at Calspan…or so we have been told. We’re going to contact them and try to visit the place for a follow up story…and maybe even see those two angry elephants wreck some cars like they have been doing for the last four decades in the name of making the cars and trucks we drive safer.

Is that cool or what?

American Muscle Car - The Mopar Super Stockers.

What happens when you mix a M3 with a 2002?

This is a real, all numbers matching, 1962 Plymouth Savoy Max Wedge car with a 413 CI/410 HP engine and a 3 speed standard transmission on the floor. The car has been totally restored and the 49,000 miles are original.
There were very few cars ordered in 1962 with a standard 3 speed on the floor, 3:89 limited slip rear , factory cutouts, no heater, no radio and a monster solid lifter 413 Max Wedge that you can hear coming from a block away. When you look under it you will see the cutouts and the massive factory pan, other than that it looks timid. Then you start it up and scares all the Chevys and Fords, just like it did in 1962. These were the first cars that ran in the 11 second range and over 110 MPH in the quarter mile. The first muscle cars and they are rare.
It's priced at what a clone car is, but this one is REAL with all documents from Galen Govier, the Chrysler factory, all owners and pictures of the restoration along with all the backup to ensure it's pedigree.
Better than money in the bank or your 401K, have fun and own it for yourself. There won't be any like this at your next car show! Only yours.

First time start Porsche 917 racing engine after 30 years in storage. What a sound!

For Stage 4 of our 2012 Ford Mustang GT Project Car, Project Blackout, we really wanted to "crank it up" so to speak! We installed a Ford Racing Boss 302 Intake Manifold, Ford Racing Throttle Body and Hellion 67mm Single Turbo Kit on low boost!

After spinning the rollers with a Bama Performance custom tune, we cranked out 601 horsepower to the tires! Being that we're AmericanMuscle, that just wasn't enough! We swapped out the 67mm turbo for the Precision 76mm turbo and cranked out 658 horsepower to the ground!

With 19" AmericanMuscle AMR Wheels and tires, we headed back to the track to see what this thing would do in pure street-form! We did 2 shake-down runs and then threw down an 11.07 @ 125 MPH! Our local track rules kept us from dropping that 10-second pass that we hoped for, so we'll need to install a cage and come back to see what Blackout can REALLY do!
