Held at the Raceway Park in the Midlands, the 1320 Roll Race Invitational featured outstanding street machines from throughout the Midwest. A 1,000-foot course – and 1,200-foot braking area – limited the capabilities of the vehicles on hand. Competitors were relegated to vehicles with 700 to 1,200hp. Giddy up! The first race of the video involves a Cadillac CTS-V Coupe with a manual transmission. With the capacity to lay down 700whp, the Caddy has been upgraded with a stroker motor and full bolt-ons. It has also been tuned to burn E85 fuel. The manual gearbox is stock with a triple-disc Read More

It’s about to be on like those proverbial hot cakes as a pair of red-hot imports take to the streets – of Mexico. Roll racing is on the agenda and these cars have the modifications to get the job done right. Let’s have a look at the machines. In black is the 2023 BMW M3 Competition. The all-wheel drive BMW IS powered by a twin turbocharged 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder engine. Mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission, the 3.0-liter can produce 503hp and 479 lb.-ft. of torque in factory condition. Featured in this video is an M3 that has been upgraded Read More

This clip delivers a rare three-way drag race between a trio of capable imports. Let’s have a gander at the hardware. The MK4 Toyota Supra has been upgraded from a twin turbo system to a large single turbo setup. The 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder engine has been built with premium internals. Carbon-fiber components are plentiful in the engine bay which is loaded with aftermarket bolt-ons like an oversize throttle body and a cold air intake. The factory transmission was ditched for an 8-speed BMW gearbox. Maximum output is estimated to be 700hp at a weight of 3,306-pounds. The Time Attack 1983 Read More

You know they grow everything bigger in Texas, but when it comes to street racing, you gotta take that stuff south of the border. That’s what these import specialists have done. A handful of the fastest roll racers in Texas have dropped down into no man’s land for some spirited competition. You boys – and girls – like Mexico? First up is a race between the Big Burd Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 (upgraded cylinder heads, camshaft and intake manifold with a ported blower) and a BMW M3 with a built engine and a big turbo. Other mods include a Maxx ECU Read More

Here we have a series of races between a pair of brand-new, bone stock cars with manual transmissions. The Camaro is a supercharged V8, and the BMW is a twin turbocharged inline 6-cylinder. On the agenda for today are roll and dig races. This should be an interesting matchup. The 2023 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is the top of the Camaro heap. With its supercharged all-aluminum 6.2-liter mill, the ZL1 can conjure up 650hp and 650 lb.-ft. of torque. The Chevy has a top speed of 190 mph and tips the scale at 3,886-pounds. It’s a two-door coupe and has a Read More

We are taking it back to the streets (of Mexico) tonight for some screaming roll race action. On hand, we have a couple of competitors with a history. Shall we explore the intricacies of the machinery? In the right lane, there’s the rear-wheel drive 2016 Ford Mustang GT. With a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter Coyote motor, the stock Mustang GT can produce 435hp and 400 lb.-ft. of torque. The pony car could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 4.3-seconds and turn the standing quarter-mile in 12.9-seconds @ 113 mph. Featured in this video is a Mustang that’s been modified with Read More

Letting it all hang out on the streets, these two imports are insanely modified, precisely tuned and ready for action. It’s roll racing time and the venue is a major interstate (in Mexico). Place your seats in the upright position and buckle-up because it’s about to get crazy around here. The 2022 BMW 3-Series is a rear-wheel drive sedan powered by an all-aluminum (block and head) turbocharged inline 6-cylinder engine that can make 382hp in stock trim. Shifted using an 8-speed automatic transmission, the 3-Series can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.8-seconds and roll through the quarter-mile in Read More

Our man Shawn (from Autotopia LA) was at Holley LS Fest in Bowling Green, Kentucky (home of the Corvette), when he ran across this spectacular LS swapped BMW. If you are a Beemer purist, don’t watch – it will give you nightmares. Otherwise, get a grip and hang on tight. This might be the baddest BMW you will ever see. Beginning under the hood (big surprise, right), there’s a supercharged 5.3-liter GM V8. This European hottie is running a stock bottom end with a Truck Norris camshaft, a full BTR rocker truniion kit and various Motion Raceworks bolt-ons. The power-adder Read More

Twelve cars and twenty-four riders will take part in this 50 -150 MPH roll racing affair which adopts the rules of a Cash Days event. The machines are tuned-up and the fuel tanks are topped off. Whoever can withstand the pressure will take home the money. Whoever misses a gear will go home empty handed. After a driver’s meeting, the cars take to the interstate (in Mexico). The first race is between an Audi TTRS (big turbo and a built engine) and a (factory supercharged) C7 (2014-2019) Corvette Z06 with full bolt-ons. The Corvette gets the early jump before the Read More

These cats are throwing down on the streets tonight. There’s a TT Stingray, a modified Supra and even an LS Swapped Genesis (Hyundai) – not to mention the street bikes. It’s about to get extreme around here. The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray started out as a naturally aspirated vehicle with a 6.2-liter V8 engine capable of making 490hp. The mid-engine powered C8 is the most capable Corvette in a long line of models recognized for performance prowess. Featured in this video is a C8 that has been upgraded with a twin turbocharger kit, including an intercooler and a methanol injection setup. Read More
