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.
05:11 Dodge Durango RT

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.
09:30 Factory Five Racing Mk5 Roadster

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.
