This muscled-up American muscle car is rather impressive.
But it’s no ordinary auto.
The huge wheels and elongated rear prove the car has been kitted out to the max.
It’s all part of a motorsport festival that signals the end to Monterey Car Week.

Muscle cars come in all different shapes and sizes.
From Ford originals to Dodge’s modern take on them, cab size, engine power, and length vary.
For example, former wrestler Bill Goldberg’s Dodge Charger R/T is the most unique muscle car out there thanks to its special, original engine.
Plus, this Shelby is so unbelievably rare that it’s a muscle car unicorn, as only two ever left the factory.
But, when it comes to impressive muscle cars and actually showcasing them, this event and car may just top the list.
Monterey Motorsports Festival is part of Monterey Car Week in California.
“Putting the Motorsports into the Monterey Motorsports Festival will be a stunning collection of hypercars, supercars, American muscle, race cars, JDM, European classics, and the latest EVs,” states the festival’s website.
The festival is vast, with the spectacle branching out across the fairground site, spanning 22 acres.
“Visitors can also enjoy an Exotic Car Rally and Parade, which will weave through the fairgrounds, allowing fans to hear the revving engines, feel, and even smell the showcased best of the automotive artistry,” it continued.
Muscle cars are a key part of America’s automotive industry, and the ones set to be showcased could be epic.
The festival shared a clip of a rather impressive-looking muscle car, which could be described as THE drag car.

The long, black muscle car clearly has impressive grilles and huge wheels, proving that it’s no ordinary banger.
“Someone asked if we allow American Muscle cars to our event. Just know the short answer is yes,” @montereymotorsportsfestival quipped alongside the video.
Online, gearheads were impressed at the sight, too.
“Did someone say pure sound,” asked one social media user.
“As you watch it just gets better… and better… and better… and… better,” exclaimed another car fan.
“Now that’s a muscled-up muscle car,” quipped another impressed user.
The festival will run from 5 pm-11 pm on August 16th, 2025, so if you’re around, go check it out!
