Horsepower fanatics come in all shapes and sizes, and their automotive preferences tend to run an even wider gamut. We’re not just talking Chevy vs. Mopar vs. Ford. Think bigger. We’re talking about American iron, European sports cars, and buzz-bomb imports. No matter how you like to burn your gasoline, it seems just about everybody loves the look—and sound—of individual runner throttle bodies on an engine.

The second-generation Pontiac Firebird, with appearances as Jim Rockford's trusty steed in "The Rockford Files" and an iconic movie role in both "Smokey and the Bandit" and its sequel, became one of the most popular of all the Firebird generations and lasted from 1970 to 1981. It's interesting, however, that Rockford drove a lower-trimmed Firebird, while a Trans Am roared across the silver screen with Burt Reynolds at the wheel as the Bandit.

Currently, Ford only sells one EcoBoost powerplant in crate engine form – the turbocharged 2.3L I-4 EcoBoost, which is available in a wide variety of Blue Oval vehicles these days, including the Ford Ranger, Ford Bronco, Ford Mustang, Lincoln Corsair, and Ford Explorer. As Ford Authority reported nearly two years ago, the automaker isn’t planning on expanding that list either, even though it offers a broad array of V8 crate engines in the Ford Performance catalog. However, it has now added a trio of 2.3L I-4 EcoBoost builder kits to that same catalog.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

Ford has created some iconic vehicles over its long history in the industry, from the Explorer to the classic Model T. The vehicles themselves, of course, serve as the most prominent work an auto manufacturer produces, but some of the most innovative work — such as engines and driver-aid technology — can exist under the hood as well. For Ford in particular, one important example is the Windsor V8 engine family.

GM is poised to up the ante with the upcoming 2025 Corvette ZR1, a new high-powered, turbocharged variant of the mid-engine C8 Corvette that promises even more output and performance than anything else in the current C8 Corvette lineup.

Eight cylinders under the hood, plus fat tires on the floor used to be the best equation for a performance car. Nowadays, it's all about twin-turbo four and six-cylinders or hybrids with dual-clutch automatic transmissions. While some dual-clutch cars have paddle shifters, so drivers can pretend they are doing something, it's not the same visceral experience of working a clutch and slapping through the gears.

There is an electric Porsche Cayenne in the works for model year 2026, but before the full-size SUV follows the Macan down Electric Avenue, the Swabian petrolhead faction rolled out the new 493-hp GTS.
