Did you ever wonder what would win in a drag race between high-powered hybrids? We go across the pond for a crash course in hybrid supercar supremacy with Matt from carwow at the helm. Relish in this contest of power and speed as three of Europe’s feistiest production cars take to the track for a series of standing drag races. First up is the new (2024) Lamborghini Revuelto with its 6.5-liter V12 gas burner and a trio of electric motors. Standing alone, the mid-mounted V12 engine is capable of producing 814hp. Three electric motors bump the maximum output up to Read More

The very mention of Uncle Jessie brings back images of the General Lee Mopar flattening the hills and straightening the curves. Well, this Uncle Jessie Ford F100 ain’t taking any quick curves but he will blister the asphalt in a straight line. Get ready for this rambunctious restomod purpose built for drag racing. Nothing fancy here. Uncle Jessie is a 1969 Ford F100 with an all-steel body (and glass) on a custom fab chassis. It’s a different story under the hood. That massive mill is a 585 cubic-inch Ford big block with a pair of 80-millimeter turbochargers. Yep, that’s an Read More

Speaking with an accent akin to my own, the iconic band known as Lynyrd Skynyrd said they were headed “Down South Jukin’ and looking for some peace of mind”. These crazy South Texas gearheads are after anything but peace. It’s pandemonium they seek in the form of a Mini Texas Cash Days (about a dozen cars) on the streets (of Mexico). Shall we investigate further? Walking past a turbo LS swapped BMW, our initial encounter is with a man in a Silverado pickup. He’s running a 408 cubic-inch V8 motor with aftermarket cylinder heads and a 98-millimeter turbocharger. The automatic Read More

Nothing has spurned more street races than the timeless battle of brand loyalty between Ford and Chevy. This video takes a look at a grudge match between a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air and a 1931 Ford Model A. Both vehicles have been dramatically altered for drag racing purposes. Since both cruisers have the potential to lay down 8-second quarter-mile passes, they are each considered pretty fast. Let’s have a closer look. With a ton of new parts installed, Finnegan takes to the interstate in his Chevy. After a pit stop at Wild Horse Motorsports Park in Chandler, Arizona, the Chevy Read More

We join the 1320 crew down in Immokalee, Florida for a Small Tire Cash Days event with an estimated forty competitors for $15K in cash. This will be a No Prep single elimination winner take all contest that pits vehicles from the North against their counterparts from South of the Mason Dixon line. Let’s get it on! Right outta the gate, we’re looking at a Chevrolet Vega with a turbocharged small block V8. This beast (sponsored by Fuel Tech?) is estimated to make 1,800hp. BILLYTH3KID (Street Racing Channel) is also on hand. He’s running multiple classes with his twin turbo Read More

Today we hit the drag strip to test a pair of powerful sport utility vehicles for pure performance. This contest between European automakers also involves an added element of intrigue pitting all-electric against internal combustion. Let’s have a glance at the machinery. Matt (from Car Wow) is in the Lotus Eletre R. This thing uses an electric motor on each axle to generate the equivalent of 903hp and 726 lb.-ft. of torque. At a curb weight of 5,850-pounds, this heavyweight can blow through the standing quarter mile in 10.3-seconds and accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.7-seconds. At a Read More

Well, Shawn from Autotopia LA has found another hot rod over which we gearheads can drool. Owned by Griffin Steinfeld, this 1200hp supercharged monster is delivered in an unlikely package. Minus the wheel tubs and massive rear tires, one might assume that this Volvo 240DL Wagon is just your ordinary grocery getter. The front suspension and brakes are factory. Period. The rear suspension setup is custom four-link with fully adjustable shocks. The front wheels are also stock Volvo. The rears are Weld Racing. Griffin is running a 370 cubic-inch GM overhead cam LS V8 engine. It’s professionally built by Hustler Read More

Far across the pond, somewhere in jolly old England, the Carwow staff have assembled a trio of luxurious sports sedans. Currently in various stages of modification, these European models will line up – side-by-side – and put it all on the line in a series of drag races. This should be fun. On the left is the all-wheel drive BMW M8 Gran Coupe with its 4.4-liter twin turbo V8 engine. At a curb weight of 4,365-pounds the M8 can produce 625hp at peak RPM. In stock trim this top-tier BMW could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.7-seconds and Read More
