Congratulations to this Canadian car owner who knew enough to have a Texas firm handle this classic Chevelle build. It’s a 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle and it is jam up and jelly straight from stem to stern. Check out these specs. After putting the original sheet metal through some significant stages of transformation – including mini tubs, a quarter panel replacement, a new transmission tunnel, a slick firewall treatment and Duplicolor undercoating, the old Chevelle was mounted on a Fast Track chassis from Roadstershop. The front suspension consists of tubular control arms. The rear is a four-link setup. Fox adjustable shocks Read More

Big Frank is getting back to the streets (of Mexico) tonight. We have a pair of C7 Corvettes in a high-stakes grudge match. Roll racing is on the agenda. In the right lane is the Green Goblin Corvette Stingray. Hailing from the West Coast, this Stingray is loaded with high-performance goodies. Known modifications include (but are not limited to) a high-ram intake manifold, a full accoutrement of aftermarket bolt-ons and a tank full of VP M5 race gas. The base engine in the Stingray was a naturally aspirated 6.2-liter LT1 V8 rated at 460hp and 465 lb.-ft. of torque. The Read More

The Street Racing Channel crew (including the Old Man’s Garage and Gen 2 Garage) are hitting the road for some drag-and-drive action. Eldest son, Billy (BillyTH3KID) is piloting a friend’s twin turbo GMC Sierra work truck. That’s a regular cab with a short bed. The truck has been upgraded with a pair of turbochargers. Number two son, Tommy (Tommy2Guns) is back in the 1964 Ford Falcon for this private test and tune session. The old Ford has the rear wing removed, a gear change in the rear end and it is running smaller tires this season. The Old Man also Read More

Imagine that you are out tooling around the countryside (in your favorite hot rod) on a sunny spring afternoon. You roll up on a rusty 1971 Chevrolet C10 and notice that he has loud exhaust. Before you can say, let’s race, this old farm truck stomps the gas and leaves you sitting in a puddle of your own shaving cream. That would be Lance Smith in his 1999 Craftsman Series NASCAR Race Truck – disguised as a ’71 C10. Gotcha! Lance calls them “racerods”. He takes a raggedy old hull of a car (or truck) and sets it on a Read More

It’s on like Donkey Kong as these two modern muscle cars hook-up at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. This battle between Chevy and Ford has raged on for decades with no end in sight. Today, we get to see this historic clash personified as late model versions of each car lay it all on the line in the standing quarter-mile. That’s the C7 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 in Orange. Equipped with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8, the C7 ZR1 is arguably the best of the Corvette models. It boasts an output rating of 755hp and 715 lb.-ft. of torque. Top speed was Read More

Whether it’s morning, noon or night, these street racers are revved up and ready to go. This clip delivers with a pair of modified domestic maulers that are chomping at the bit. Roll racing on the streets (of Mexico) – under the bright sunlight – is on the agenda. Slide those shades on and get ready to race! In the right lane, we have the C6 (2005-2013) Chevrolet Corvette. This domestic beauty is equipped with an LS3 6.2-liter V8 engine. The LS3 block and heads are aluminum. The crankshaft is nodular iron, the pistons are aluminum, and the connecting rods Read More

Tonight, we have an unlikely roll out between a Honda and a Corvette. These two cars are about as different as daylight and dark. The Chevy is bone stock and the Honda has been modified in a serious manner. Buckle-up, this is gonna be a wild one. The rear-wheel drive (convertible) Honda S2000 came from the factory with a naturally aspirated 2.2-liter 4-cylinder engine and a close ratio manual transmission. A fun sports car, the S2000 was nothing to write home about when it came to performance. This guy yanked the factory motor and installed a stock single cam F22 Read More

Headed out to the streets (of Mexico), today for some roll racing action between a pair of beautiful domestic machines. When your car looks this good, you gotta show it off before the sun goes down. We join the action already in progress. In the right lane is the C6 (2005 – 2013) Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. This well-maintained street cruiser came from the factory with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine capable of producing 638hp and 604 lb.-ft. of torque at peak RPM. At a curb weight of 3,350-pounds, the rear-wheel drive C6 ZR1 could eclipse the standing quarter-mile in 11.3-seconds Read More
