Might not be what your after, but the cars I'll point you to run well ... Until they don't.
We have an annual car show over here, have a search for "Summernats" for videos. They have a burn out pad where you can melt some tyres.
Some people restore cars and take them there for show. Some have excellent paint jobs , but a typical Summernats one has more horsepower than the original. This usually leads to a few redlining on the pad and exceeding a limit so that they catch fire or can't be driven home.
Or at least, so I've heard...
That sounds amazing! At least, until they catch fire. A symphony of roaring engines followed by immediate disaster, haha how cool!
Some owners were tamer. Burnouts weren't required. They sometimes had a parade through the city, blocking off streets and cops as part of it. I did notice at the end of it was a truck with a tilt tray so a break down of a car just doing 40-50kmph along a city road was planned for.
