To be properly prepared for track days, the modern muscle car gets carbon-ceramic brakes by Brembo, MagneRide dampers, Variable Traction Control system, carbon fiber wheels, and an aero kit. The carbon-fiber spoiler is said to produce 620 pounds of downforce at 180 mph.

The meaner look is backed up by the overhauled powertrain. Now the propulsion comes from a supercharged V8 Hemi with a 6.2-liter displacement. It yields 777 horsepower and 680 pound-feet of torque, enabling a 118 mph top speed. It should be noted that a 60-mph sprint is on par with many sports cars and is clocked at 3.5 seconds.
03:54 Dodge Charger Sixpack

Still retaining the modernized 8-generation looks, the 2026 Charger comes both in coupe and more practical sedan body styles. The biggest change, however, is under the hood: the thirsty 5.7-liter HEMI is no more. The main propulsion unit of choice is now the 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline six. Despite lacking cylinders, it increases output by 50 horsepower compared to its predecessor.

The sporty vibe is backed up by an upgraded suspension with adaptive damping, Brembo brakes with red calipers, high-performance exhaust, and an electronic limited-slip differential. If you opt for the R/T 392 Launch Edition, the interior will be outfitted with Nappa leather, an 18-speaker audio setup, and a suede headliner.
06:13 Trick Rides Shelby GT350TR

The brand’s Shelby GT350TR comes with a supercar-worthy price tag; however, it’s more than just another restomod. On par with the original, it gets steel bodywork, modernized LED lights, and some Ring Brothers components. The performance comes courtesy of a Supercharged 32 Valve Coyote engine that is linked to a Tremec T-56 six-speed manual. This V8 setup will reportedly yield 700 horsepower, a hefty upgrade over the original.
07:19 Hennessey Performance H1000 Redeye

The H1000 treatment for the Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye includes a host of engine upgrades, namely an upper pulley upgrade, a ported supercharger snout, stainless-steel long tube headers, and other mechanical improvements like high-flow catalytic converters and high-flow mid pipes. The resulting yield from a 6.2-liter HEMI V8 is 986 horsepower at 6,500 RPM and 948 pound-feet of torque @ 4,200 RPM.
08:18 Trans-AM Worldwide 70/SS

Despite rocking a familiar muscle car look of the 1970 Chevelle Super Sport, the newcomer has 21st-century underpinnings and better performance. The customization is strong with this one; you can choose between three trim packages, 18 color scheme variations, and coupe or drop-top body styles. List of mechanical upgrades features spring lowering, better sway bars, performance exhaust, and premium brakes.

10:34 Rezvani Tank

Although in the base variant you can get a rather tame 4-cylinder hybrid powertrain, a brutal vehicle like this should always be paired with the range-tipping 6.2-liter V8. This unit is linked to an 8-speed automatic, sending power to all four wheels. It was supercharged to make upwards of 1,000 horsepower but this is a costly upgrade, potentially adding $85,000 to the already hefty price.
