Twin Turbo AWD Ford F-150 vs. Ported Blower Corvette Z06 – Street Hits

February 9th, 2024

This is a crazy race between Ford and Chevy. Somebody slapped a couple of turbochargers on America’s favorite pickup. Now he’s trolling the streets looking for some Chevy iron to plunder. Buckle-up, this is going to be a wild ride. In the left lane is the C7 (2014-2019) Chevrolet Corvette Z06 with a supercharged 6.2-liter engine and an automatic transmission. The Z06 can churn out 650hp and 650 lb.-ft. of torque in stock condition. This ‘Vette has been upgraded with a high-performance camshaft, a full accoutrement of bolt-ons, supercharger porting and an E40/50 tune. This thing is lean, mean and Read More

Challenger Hellcat Jailbreak vs. C63 AMG 507 – Street Hits

February 8th, 2024

In an all-out assault on the streets (of Mexico) tonight we have the latest version of the Dodge Challenger Hellcat rolling out against a beast of a Mercedes-Benz coupe. Both these cars are loaded with performance features from the factory. Let’s take a closer look before they take to the blacktop. The rear-wheel drive 2015 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG 507 is near the top of the MB lineup. With a 507hp all-aluminum 6.2-liter V8 working under the hood, it’s easy to understand why. Mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, the ultra-smooth V8 boasts four-valves per cylinder and direct fuel injection. Read More

AWD Audi RS 3 vs. RWD Dodge Challenger Hellcat – Drag Race

February 2nd, 2024

Knives are out in this one. Word has it that a drastically modified Dodge Challenger Hellcat will be taking on a similarly upgraded Audi RS 3 in a series of 1,000-foot drag races. Well, we can’t miss that. So, we join the usual suspects at the Hoonigan facility. Get a load of this: Mopar Mike is on hand with his rear-wheel drive 2017 Dodge Challenger Hellcat (sort of). Under the hood is a Whipple (4.5-liter) supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8 with forged internals. This pink thing is good for 1,200whp. The Dodge tips the scale at 4,400-pounds and uses an 8-speed Read More

Pontiac G8 GXP with Nitrous vs. the Streets

February 1st, 2024

Here we have a rather docile looking Pontiac G8 taking on a Camaro SS, a Mustang GT, a C8 Corvette and an Infiniti Q50. Don’t get it twisted – these cars look like grocery getters, but they are all modified for the purpose of racing on the streets (of Mexico). Have a look. The rear-wheel drive Pontiac G8 GXP is loaded with a naturally aspirated 6.2-liter LS3 V8. The block and heads are aluminum, and the transmission is a 6-speed manual. In stock condition, the G8 could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 4.7-seconds and turn the standing quarter-mile Read More

Modified BMW M4 vs. BMW M1000RR Superbike – Drag Race

February 1st, 2024

Someone is about to get frostbite. Between the bitterly cold ambient temperature and the breeze-wake that these extraordinarily fast machines can leave behind, it’s inevitable. What we have here are two machines from the came automaker. While they are both manufactured with a similar degree of craftsmanship, they are very different in design. The four-wheeler is the BMW M4. This 3,913-pound coupe features a turbocharged 503hp inline six-cylinder engine and all-wheel drive from the factory. Obviously, the Beemer will need more than that to hang with that street bike. Modifications to the BMW M4 include an upgraded turbo kit, high-performance Read More

Tesla Plaid vs. COPO Camaro – Drag Racing

January 30th, 2024

We are keeping it on the track tonight with some high level eighth-mile drag racing. Our focal point will be a Tesla Model S Plaid and its ongoing battle with his nemesis – a custom built COPO Chevrolet Camaro. If you are familiar with the Chevrolet Camaro, then you know that the Central Office Production Order (COPO) version is special. In the 1960s, dealerships purchased the COPO as an incomplete build (no engine, transmission or rear end) and installed high-performance components as desired. Early model COPO Camaros are rare and highly sought after to this day. The modern COPO Camaro Read More

The best No Prep cars (trucks, etc.) are gathered in Florida to begin a series of drag racing events tied together by a 1,000-mile cruise. Sick Week is a grueling challenge. It’s hard on the machinery and brutal in the knuckles, but lifelong friendships will be formed. Let’s go to the track for some last minute test runs. Right out of the gate, there’s an ‘80s Pontiac Le Mans Wagon doing burnouts. This grocery getter has a massive 540 cubic-inch big Read More

Modified Toyota Supra vs. Mustang GT500 and Hellcat – Street Hits

January 27th, 2024

This little Toyota is angry. I have no idea what got him that way, but he’s plenty mad. He’ll be taking out his rage on an assortment of automobiles – import and domestic. Insert your mouthpiece and buckle your chin strap, this one is about to get real. Our initial contest will involve the aforementioned 2022 Toyota Supra. Mods include a performance exhaust downpipe and an E50 tune. The furious Supra will be racing an Infiniti Q50 with full bolt-ons. This is a close race with Toyota taking a narrow win at 160 mph.
