Tonight, we launch out onto the streets (of Mexico) for some roll racing on the interstate. Our video co-stars are a Lexus IS 300 sedan and a Nissan GT-R coupe.

While I can only speak for myself, it seems that one of the true joys of life (for your average gearhead) is cramming a powerful V8 motor into a small and lightweight vehicle. It ain’t always easy but it’s fun and – if it turns out right – it’s fast. Have a look at what Kevin Nault has done with this old Datsun (Nissan). It all begins and ends in Kevin’s garage; from the low and slow exhaust note to the slippery fast Atomic Orange paint. Kevin began this impressive build by removing the body from the frame for a Read More
