These are some of the heaviest – and fastest – cars in the west and they’re getting prepared to face off in single elimination drag racing action. Vehicles must weigh more than 4,200-pounds to compete in the Heavyweight Class at Street Car Takeover (SCT) Denver. As you can imagine, this class will draw many trucks, SUVs and all-wheel drive vehicles that tend to be a bit viscous. Let’s take a look at the roster as the First Round begins. Up first is the fastest Cadillac CTS-V in the World. He’s claiming a 7-second standing quarter-mile and looking good doing so. Read More

Audi SQ5 vs Mustang GT – 50 to 150 Street Hits

March 26th, 2024

There is no way that a compact SUV can run with a modified muscle car, right? No way that a grocery getter can hang in there with a hard-charging V8 sports car that has a stripped-out cockpit. It ain’t happening, correct? A decade ago, the answer would have been a resounding “yes”. Fortunately, today’s SUV will not be denied the chance to shine. The SUV in question is the 2020 Audi SQ5 with Quattro all-wheel drive. In factory condition, the SQ5 is not terribly impressive from a performance standpoint. However, the all-wheel drivetrain and turbocharged V6 offer a firm foundation Read More

March 20th, 2024

It’s on like hotcakes on these Texas streets tonight. We’ve got a 1,100hp Nissan GT-R, an Underground Racing Lamborghini Huracan and a McLaren 720S. There’s even a pair of Toyotas duking it out in the first race. These Toyotas are both red and both are sporting massive turbochargers. One is an MK4 and the other is an MK5. This should be a wild one. It’s for the Toyota Championship. After the MK4 Supra got whooped in the first race, he rolled out against the Street Science Nissan GT-R. The Toyota is claiming 1,200hp but this Nissan is the daddy rabbit. Read More

March 18th, 2024

It’s drag racing time in the Sunshine State, and we have Limpy on the Light. That means Cash Days and some head-to-head digs from the deepest, darkest remotes of swamp country. Get ready for sand in your craw and race fuel in your nostrils as the 1320 crew checks out Gator Crossing Cash Days. The first competitor we run into is Possum. I call him that because of the way he talks about his ride. “Oh, it does alright” he says about his twin turbo LS swapped Fox Body Mustang. This car looks to do a bit more than alright. Read More

March 15th, 2024

Delving into the late hours of the evening – and the wee hours of the morning – we encountered these rivals in their thunderous chariots. At considerable expense they have assembled garish mounts destined to achieve victorious results. Let’s have a look at the hardware. On the right is the Chevrolet Colorado pickup. If not for the slicks on all four corners, this compact sized work truck would be a total street sleeper. The all-wheel drive Colorado has undergone some extensive modifications. The stock engine was tossed aside for an inline 6-cylinder 3.0-liter Toyota 2JZ engine. Used in early Supra Read More
