Making a Four-Wheeled Honda Fast

0
0
The owner of the Honda S2000 featured in this video has a desire to help his fellow import owners. He wants to show us all how to make our import street and strip cars get down the track a lot faster. He accomplishes his mission within the first 30-seconds of the clip but you will want to stay for the hot drag racing action. This post is coming at you from beautiful, sunny Orlando, Florida (east coast home of Mickey Mouse) and the Street Car Takeover. As soon as the hood on the bright red Honda is opened, anyone can Read More

Roll Racing – 2JZ Mazda RX7 vs. Blown Cobra Mustang

0
0
As much as I love, respect, and support my friends in the law enforcement community, if I am racing on the interstate and a cruiser pulls into my peripheral, I might draw up so tight that the seat cover would have to be surgically removed. My insurance guy would draw up even tighter. Not so on this night of roll racing action, when Dick Tracy pulls alongside and openly issues a challenge over the public address system. Seriously, have a look for yourself. After the customary meet-and-greet at the local filling station, our competitors pull onto the interstate (or whatever Read More

Turbo Coyote Mustang – 7-Second Quarter-Mile

0
0
Despite the multitude of spectacular machines that turned out for Street Cat Takeover in Orlando, Florida, this Mustang stood apart from the crowd. In the first place, the owner was registered in three separate classes – the Roll Racing Class, the LSx vs Modular Engine Class (the Coyote engine is a modular engine), and the ultra-competitive Street Racer Class. In the second place, the Mustang featured in this video posted an event record pass of 7.53-seconds @ 187.81 mph (in the Street Racer Class). This was also an all-time best E.T. and top speed for this car and crew. Thirdly, Read More

World’s Quickest Jeep Wrangler

I’m not going to lie and say that I never did it. I am just as guilty as this guy but for a whole different set of reasons. When I crammed an LS platform V8 and a supercharger into my first Wrangler, I did it to get to the top of the mountain faster than the other guy. There were some giant mud tires and lots of ground clearance involved. It was a great weekend toy but of a whole different variety. This guy has outfitted his Jeep with drag radials and eliminated the ground clearance but maximum power is still Read More

Afternoon Delight – KC Street Digs

Honestly, I can count on one finger the number of times that I have been involved in street digs while the sun was up. Let’s face it, most street racing takes place under cover of darkness and it’s a lot of fun that way. Having that said; this Cash Days dig racing event from Kansas City (Mexico) was refreshing because you can see a lot more detail inside the cockpit of these complex machines. Have a gander for yourself. As usual, this is single elimination, winner take all fun. You can’t jump the light or cross the center line or Read More

1200HP Corvette – Godzilla Killa

0
0
One doesn’t often see a modest Chevrolet Corvette walking away with the crown (Sport Class) in a roll racing event the size of TX2K17. It is even more unexpected to see such an occurrence when there are cars like the Nissan GT-R (Godzilla), Lamborghini Huracan, and the mighty Dodge Viper on hand. Add the fact that this C5 Vette is equipped with a manual transmission and you have a real phenomenon. This 2-seater is powered by a 408 cubic-inch GM small block and a massive turbocharger. The owner/operator (Ty) states that the car is capable of producing 1,200(ish)hp. Round 1 Read More

2200HP TT Big Block Mazda RX7

Do you like surprises? If you do, then you’ll love this tricked out Mazda RX7. Never mind the awesome emerald green paint job. Sure, it looks great but the real treat is under the hood. It is full to the brim under there with a giant 555 cubic-inch Chevrolet big block and a pair of massive Garrett 88-millimeter turbochargers. Talk about a shocking revelation! This car is capable of producing an estimated 2,200hp (the dyno can only register a maximum of 2,000hp). The green machine just hooks up and goes straight down the track – every time. It has posted Read More

Street Racing – Cali Style

This is how it’s done in the Golden State. They are rolling them out on the interstate and running them like wildfire! A gathering of cars such as this virtually demands that a race ensue. It matters not where they meet; just that inside the chest of every driver beats the heart of a competitor. This time they meet on the streets – the streets of La-La Land – Los Angeles (Mexico), that is. There are several Nissans (of the GT-R variety), a 2.0-liter Evo (650hp) building 40 psi of boost, a stock (LS2) motor ‘Vette (660hp) with a V1 Read More

900HP Twin Turbo 1963 Chevy C10

Check out this beat up Chevy pickup. This thing looks like it drove through the ugly forest and hit every tree. This work truck is so ugly that it could make a freight train take a dirt road. It’s UGLY! Good thing that it ain’t how you look – it’s what you got under your hood. Under the imaginary hood, you will be privileged to feast your eyes upon a built 370 cubic-inch LQ9 engine with a stock crankshaft, Callie’s connecting rods, JE pistons, upgraded cylinder heads, and a custom ground camshaft. Forced air induction is left to a more Read More

200 MPH on the Street

0
0
If I were pressed to describe the footage documented in this video, I would simply call it elite level street racing (on the streets of Mexico). It must be considered so due to the extreme speeds achieved and the degree of modification and power capacity of the vehicles involved. The Lamborghini Superleggera featured is, after all, equipped with an Underground Racing (UR) Stage 3 Kit. As if that would not suffice, it also has been upgraded with a set of ported and polished race ready cylinder heads. This very bad girl is capable of producing more than 1,300hp to the Read More

7-Second Turbo Honda

Howdy drag racing fans and welcome to the Jamboree Event at Sydney Dragway in Sydney, Australia. This clip features the baddest Honda that you will ever lay your eyes on! It is no NSX, it’s not a Civic, it ain’t even an S2000. It is a 1965 Honda S300 and it is competing in the Modified 10.5 Class. My first impression of this road-rocket is that it looks amazing. It has a slick paint job with an assortment of well-intentioned graphics and absolutely every tid-bit that is not painted is either chromed and/or polished. The wheelbase is only 63-inches so, Read More

POV – 9-Second McLaren 570S

0
0
This video introduces us to what is officially the first McLaren 570S to ever post a 9-second quarter-mile elapsed time. That makes this British built supercar a world record holder of sorts. In my humble opinion, the McLaren 570S is a seriously amazing automobile, in factory trim. Each (entry level) mid-engine 570S that rolls off the assembly line (there are only about 4,000 produced annually) does so with a 502hp, 3.8-liter, twin-turbocharged, V8 engine that also makes 443 lb.-ft. of torque. It comes with a sequential, 7-speed gearbox and it is rear-wheel drive. In stock trim, the 570S can accelerate Read More

Blown 1953 Corvette – Big Tire – No Prep

0
0
This beast of a C1 Corvette just seems to suit No-Prep Drag Racing. It is an old school sports car with a massive blower poking up through the hood so what better place to show out than the Bounty Hunters No-Prep Grudge Nationals II. Even though our feature ride is sporting a Tim McAmis race car chassis, a Winger Racing engine, a set of big old racing slicks, and a giant blower, it still pulls off that classic muscle car look. What is even more impressive than the appearance of this car is the sound. This thing is making some Read More

WHITE ZOMBIE – 1967 Chevy II

0
0
No, it doesn’t stumble through the streets mumbling monster mumbo-jumbo, nor does it thirst for the taste of human blood, but the WHITE ZOMBIE is one-hundred-percent scary! While we understand that the WHTE ZOMBUE will (one day  soon) be scary fast, the San Antonio Bounty Hunters No-Prep Event finds this monster of a drag car in need of a driver. The zombie’s intended wheel-man is away at a weekend wedding and didn’t make the trip. That puts the car’s owner behind the wheel and – let’s just say – it’s a good thing that nobody got hurt. The crew of Read More

Low 7-Second Datsun Pickup

Welcome drag racing fans on a videographical journey to the land down under. We are headed to Sydney, Australia for the Jamboree Event where we will be introduced to a ground pounding Datsun pickup with the unique combination of a massive turbocharger and a 4G63 Mitsubishi engine. Running in the Sub-Compact Class (because that’s what the Jamboree is about), this pretty Aussie racer tried her dearest to campaign this little Ute (Australian for sport utility vehicle) into 6-second territory. Take a look and see how it all shakes out! Coming into this event, the truck had posted a best E.T. Read More

Cowboy Corvette – 650HP Silverado

What’s an old saddle tramp to do when he has a Corvette heart and a Pickup life? That’s exactly where Bruce Lethco was at in his own life. What made matters even worse is that Bruce’s wife was dead set against him having a high-powered sports car. Along about there is when he discovered Armageddon. No, not the bloody end-of-times battle but Armageddon Turbo Systems. Bruce’s 2014 Chevy Silverado was pretty powerful, according to pickup truck standards, but keep in mind that old Bruce has a Corvette heart. Luckily for him, Armageddon hooked him up with a twin turbo system Read More

Sunshine State Street Showdown

Hello drag racing fans and welcome to sunny North Florida (Mexico) for the Street Mafia Cash Days. This clip features some of the most capable cars in the Sunshine State in some very competitive street (dig) racing action. To give us all a better understanding of just how competitive these digs are, there are cameras on both ends of the track. The rules are simple;; don’t jump the light and don’t cross the center line. Other than that it’s run-what-ya-brung, single elimination dig racing with a cash prize going to the top two finishers. Let’s take a gander! Round 1 Read More

Super Sleeper Impala SS

This video is stacked with awesome looking high-performance automobiles. It documents a car show which took place at Performance HQ in San Antonio, Texas. Performance HQ has a reputation of creating outlandish street and strip cars with optimum performance and reliability in mind. This clip captures what was taking place during their grand re-opening and the crew literally opens their doors to show us some inside information on project cars and customer builds. With the showroom full of unique offerings, the parking lot began to fill up with all kinds of modified transportation. There were exotics, including names like Rolls Read More

2017 Ford GT – Too Much Car for the Street?

0
0
How absurd – too much car for the street? What kind of a question is that? The new 2017 Ford GT may be a bit too hot to handle for drivers who are only interested in getting from point A to point B but for a red-blooded performance enthusiast, there is no such thing as too much car. Let’s go to the riding review for the full story: In a package that is unabashedly billed as a street legal LeMans (winner) race car, the mid-engine, rear-wheel drive monster was only 3-years from sketch pad to track, making it a truly amazing Read More

Dirty South No-Prep

This clip opens like the preview to a horror movie. It has pretty (but extremely capable) Kayla Morton battling a big old ugly White Zombie in her multi-colored Mustang ProMod. Most of you drag racing fans will probably remember Kayla from previous videos. In addition to being a solid racer, she is the significant other of Street Outlaws’ Boosted GT driver, Chris Hamilton. I hope that most of you will also remember the White Zombie (from earlier in the month). We saw it at an event cursed with a terrible loss of traction, chiefly attributed to cold weather.
