The Street Racing Channel (SRC) crew showed up and showed out at War in the Woods 8. Eldest son Billy TH3KID piloted his big block twin turbo Nova; with his S-10 still broken. Younger brother Tommy 2GUNS was in the LS twin turbo Ford Falcon. Dad (Old Man’s Garage) was relegated to pit duties with his G-Body laid up awaiting an engine overhaul. War in the Woods, held at the Brown County Drag Strip in rural Indiana, draws some of the biggest names in No Prep Racing. With Limpy on the Light, you know the action is going to be Read More
Hoonigan slips Down Under to the land of Koala bears and Kangaroos for this wild episode of This vs That. This video features two of the most radically modified vehicles imaginable. Let’s dig in and get a closer look at these unique racing machines. First up is the 1973 Datsun 1200 UTE. Immediately, my attention was drawn to the hood of this tiny truck. There is a massive roots type blower protruding through an equally large opening. Underneath, a supercharged 6.0-liter GM LS4 V8 engine is capable of churning out 950hp. The LS4 block is cast iron and the crankshaft Read More
Tonight, we have an all-wheel drive 2002 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo S that has been modified for street racing. The angry Beetle just happened to be in Texas when a rash of street racing broke out. Upwards of 100 spectacular street machines are on hand to make the crossing (into Old Mexico) for some raucous roll racing on the interstate. The action will be intense. This Bug is rolling on an all-wheel drive chassis. Under the hood is a 1.8-liter turbo motor with a 6870 turbocharger. The bottom end of the engine is basically stock. The cylinder head has been modified Read More
This rare daytime street (roll) race features two of the most prolific mass production hot rods on the planet. The Hellcat and GT500 variants push the envelope of factory performance all the way to the edge of chaos. Today, we’ll see how they stack up against one another on the streets (of Mexico). The Dodge Challenger Hellcat is powered by a supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI capable of producing more than 700hp. The big Dodge is slightly heavier than the Mustang at more than 2-tons. The question is: Can the Mopar keep up with the best that Ford has to offer? With Read More
Today, we are taking this thing international with a series of races between a couple of motor-only domestic sleds and a twin turbo BMW. Only the BMW has been modified (slightly) to improve factory performance. Take a gander at these machines. First up is the 2018 BMW M3 Competition. With a twin turbo 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder engine, the M3 can make 444hp and 406 lb.-ft. of torque from the factory. The rear-wheel drive Beemer weighs-in at 3,575-pounds and uses a 7-speed DCT transmission. It has been tuned to improve throttle response by Awaken Performance. The 2017 Dodge Challenger T/A is Read More
We meet up with TheTripleFCollection for another epic set of drag races where they challenge my new C8 Z06 in their Ferrari LaFerrari and 458 Spider in a 1/4 Mile Drag Race. Billionaire Brothers try to beat the DragTimes C8 Z06 in their $4M Ferrari LaFerrari and 458 Spider
Oh, snap! It’s about to go down on the streets of Texas (Mexico), tonight. A gaggle of 1000+hp Corvettes have been spotted on the interstate – and they are looking to hunt. These modified Chevy street warriors are searching out imports – as well as Fords and Mopars – in an all-out quest to claim the manufacturer’s crown of roll racing. It’s gonna be a hot-time in the old town tonight. First up, we have a high-revving contest between a pair of ‘Vettes. On the left is a 1050hp Corvette Z06. Mods include a built engine and an F1A-94 ProCharger. Read More
Props to Shawn from AutotopiaLA for sniffing out this incredible Volvo street sleeper. Owned and perfected by retired professional race car driver Eric Curran (West Coast Exotic Cars), this rare Bertone Volvo is equipped to handle almost anything on the street. Let’s get a closer look at this project that is a hand-me-down labor of love for Eric. Of course, we begin under the hood where we discover a stunning supercharged (dry sump) 6.2-liter LT4 V8 engine from a C6 Corvette Z06. Rated at 650hp and 650 lb.-ft. of torque, the LT4 is among the most powerful engines ever used Read More
