The Top 10 Coolest Cars Seen in 2017
As we took to the drag strip and pitted some of the world's most unique and high-performance vehicles against each other, it was clear that this year was one for the books. From a Porsche 918 Spyder to a tiny Honda S600, each car on our list was a marvel in its own right.
First up at number seven is the Ford GT40. This 1960s-era supercar may not have been built for the drag strip, but it still managed to put down a respectable 156 miles per hour and a half-mile time. Its 427 cubic inch engine may be old school, but its performance more than held up.
Coming in at number six is a top fuel dragster from Streetcar Takeover Denver. The team behind this behemoth of a car told us that they wanted to bring "something stupid fast" to the track and were willing to do whatever it took to make it happen. With over 2,000 horsepower on tap, this car was a force to be reckoned with.
At number five is the fastest CTS-V video of the year, shot in Texas UK Houston. This video featured not only the world's fastest CTS-V at the time, but also an equally impressive "unicorn" car that had been tweaked to produce over 2,000 horsepower as well. The combination of American ingenuity and foreign flair made for a truly unforgettable viewing experience.
Fourth on our list is the Boosted Mini Cooper from Albuquerque, New Mexico. This tiny car may have only weighed around 1,000 pounds, but its rear-mounted boost engine was packing a whopping 13cc of turbocharged goodness. The result was a car that was equal parts adorable and utterly insane to drive.
Next up at number three is the Tiny Hondo, hailing from Australia. This 1965 Honda S600 had been modified with an incredible 88mm turbocharger that turned its 2JZ engine into a beast of over 1,200 horsepower. Despite its tiny size, this car still managed to put down a respectable 7.17 seconds in the quarter mile.
Coming in at number two is a radical racing Volkswagen Bus from Oak in Texas. This 1963 VW bus may have looked like just another vehicle on the pit lane, but it turned out to be hiding some serious secrets underneath its hood. A 468 big block engine paired with a 150 shot of nitrous oxide made for a truly unstoppable combination.
And at number one, we have the coolest car of all - Bradley Gray's Blown Mafia Camaro. This man was obsessed with boost and had spent years modifying his vehicles to take full advantage of its power. With twin turbos, nitrous, and even an f2 blower on hand, this car was a force to be reckoned with. Its performance was truly awe-inspiring.
Throughout the year, we saw a lot of amazing cars come through our doors, but these ten stood out as particularly noteworthy. From the smallest engines to the biggest supercars, each one brought its own unique brand of awesomeness to the table. Whether you're a fan of American muscle or foreign flair, there's something on this list for everyone.
In between takes and when we weren't racing cars, we were taking a look at some amazing merchandise from our store. We have over 100 items up for sale, including some brand-new releases that are sure to get your hearts racing. From apparel to accessories, you'll find everything you need to show off your love of high-performance vehicles.
