4 US cars on the 4th of July. Let’s celebrate with the Americans!
It’s the 4th of July, or the 4th of July. So time to watch a movie with Will Smith. This date is a holiday in the United States. That is why we are putting the spotlight on the Americans today.
We started with this diesel engine electric car for the US military and now move on to a Top 4 videos featuring cars from the country of Uncle Sam. American cars are not very common in the Netherlands, but there is certainly a fanatical fan base.
Chevy Corvette Z06 (C5)
The Chevrolet Corvette Z06 of the C5 generation is a forgotten topper. It is one of the first American cars that does everything right in terms of driving: engine, handling, steering, grip, performance: it is all top notch. The Z06 was a Corvette Hardtop (you still had it back then) where they only slightly tickled the engine, but mainly addressed the brakes, springs, dampers, suspension, stiffness and the like.
Chevrolet’s 5.7 LS-V8 appears to be an old-fashioned engine, but there’s a thought behind it. The block is particularly light and compact due to the lack of a lot of camshafts, valves, turbos and so on. Unfortunately, the car did not come to the Netherlands, but Autoblog reader Bas has one!

Ford Mustang Shelby GT500: on the Autobahn
A lot of horsepower for little money, that is the adage of the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. Certainly this generation was a monster that you could buy for $ 50,000. The rather theoretical top speed was ‘more than 300 km/h’. For @wouter So enough reason to test it out. He took a GT500 with him Autobahn to see what the top speed was.
In addition to the aboslute V-max, he found out two things: these cars are quite exciting above 280 km/h and the fast Ford drinks more than the regular members of the VVD party drink. Oh yes, this is the exact same Ford Mustang that Jeremy Clarkson drives from Wembley Stadium to San Siro to beat Richard and James taking public transport to Milan.
Tesla Model S: Supercharger is another promise
Americans can also be very progressive. The Tesla Model S is one such car that is way ahead of its time. Also a compliment to the design, because just like @wouter, the Model S ages very nicely. To get an idea of how fresh it is, the first driving test with the Model S was already 11 years ago! In retrospect, very nice how things turned out. Yes, that Tesla supercharger network has come about. Also nice: we found 100 kW charging bizarrely fast!
RAM 1500 TRX
When it comes to Americans, of course you can’t ignore the Hellcat, can you? But the supercharged 6.2 V8 has come in a lot of cars. Think of the Jeep Grand Cherokee and also this RAM 1500 TRX. This is perhaps the most affordable way to drive this block in our country, because on gray license plates the costs are still a little less. Not the thirst, by the way, which is really epic. Also nice: you have four-wheel drive, so you can really do something with the 700 hp instead of smoking your rear tires.
