At first glance, this one seems like a no brainer. The lightweight performance coupe wins over the bulky SUV, right? The answer is not so cut-and-dry when you consider that the SUV is the top tier Porsche model. Take a gander at this machinery. The Porsche Cayenne Turbo e-hybrid (GT Package) is a brute of an SUV. Equipped with a twin turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine and a single electric motor, the all-wheel drive Porsche can generate the equivalent of 739hp and 700 lb.-ft. of torque. Despite a curb weight of 5,500-pounds, the Cayenne Turbo e-hybrid can accelerate from 0 to Read More

This twin turbo Velocity Ford F-150 is a must-see machine. You’d better look fast because this clip features high-powered roll racing from the streets (of Mexico). After some spirited negotiating, it has been determined that the twin turbo Ford will be racing a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 with the camshaft and heads upgraded as well as a Kong ported blower. They’ll be running for $1,000 cash (monopoly money). As these two cruisers pull onto the interstate, traffic seems to part like the Red Sea. The two vehicles pull alongside and come up to speed. Suddenly, both machines explode in fits of Read More

This video is loaded with multiple camera angles and premium audio effects. You will almost smell the gasoline and rubber as they permeate the atmosphere. Put your ear buds in and let’s get to it. In the right lane is the Ford Mustang GT. From the factory, this pony car featured a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 engine rated at 460hp and 420 lb.-ft. of torque. The rear-wheel drive Mustang GT was equipped with a 10-speed 10R80 automatic transmission.

What do we have here? Looks like a supercar slugfest between a hybrid Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray and a gas guzzling McLaren 600LT. That’s Long Tail, gearheads. Promoting this U-drag contest is none other than DragTimes own Brooks Weisblat. While the rear-wheel drive McLaren 600LT tips the scale at 3,300 pounds, the all-wheel drive Corvette E-Ray has a GVW of 4,100 pounds. The weight differential will likely help to offset the extra 93hp delivered by the hybrid Chevy. The McLaren 600LT utilizes a twin turbocharged 3.8-liter V8 to produce 562hp. GM opted for the combination of a naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 Read More

Y’all know the Street Racing Channel (SRC) crew, right? Well, they have trailered three of their most popular vehicles down to Grand Prairie, Texas for the Jimmy Dale Small Tire Gangsta’ Shootout at the iconic Yello Belly Dragstrip (a.k.a. The Gut). Yello Belly is one of the most unique dragstrips in the country. With covered parking from the starting line to the finish line, The Gut delivers an atmosphere of pure pandemonium on every pass. You might not recognize him with the cowboy hat, but that’s Billy in the red and black 1955 Chevy. He’s running in the Quick Street Read More

Big man Frank is hard at work again. This time, he’s tracked down a grudge race between a pair of gently modified daily drivers. Shall we drop in and see what all the fuss is about? In the right lane is the Pontiac G8 GT. Assembled in Australia, the GT version of the rear-wheel drive G8 sedan came with a naturally aspirated 6.0-liter V8 engine rated at 361hp. The stock G8 wasn’t up to snuff for street racing so this owner added an LSA blower, a high-performance camshaft and an E85 tune. Now this Aussie Poncho is laying down some Read More

It looks like a Fox Body invasion on this extremely flat, exceptionally straight stretch of blacktop deep in the swampy innards of the Sunshine State (Mexico). No Prep Street Drag Racing is on the agenda and we have Limpy on the Light. This is a run-whatcha-brung single elimination event. The sounds coming out of that bog are sweet swamp music to my ears. Last year’s champion was the Ugly Duck. This stock chassis C4 Chevrolet Corvette – running a 5.3-liter LS motor with a pair of 67-millimeter turbochargers – has got to be the odds-on favorite to win it again Read More

Those horses are loose on the streets (or Mexico) again and we have the footage. Here we have an unlikely pairing between a twin turbo Audi R8 and a lowly Honda Civic hatch. Let’s go to the street. The homemade hot rod is an all-wheel drive Honda Civic. The AWD part likely comes from a Honda Pilot. Under the hood is a K20 2.0-liter 4-cylinder with a giant turbocharger. This thing appears awkward but don’t get it twisted – the little hatchback is slippery fast. Definitely a street sleeper. On the other hand, the SheepyRace contingent is widely recognized for Read More

Today, he will be taking on a 2023 Porsche 911 Turbo S in a series of quarter-mile drag races. Despite their many differences, these two cars are almost identical in maximum output potential.
