Bugatti Chiron vs. 1800HP Lamborghini Huracan – Drag Race

November 29th, 2023

Drag races of this magnitude are as rare as hen’s teeth. It’s not common to see the owner of a $3.8-million Bugatti willing to enter into a contest of speed – much less one willing to run against a modified Lamborghini. What’s that you ask? The Lambo price? Only about a half-million dollars (with the current mods). Made in France, the all-wheel drive Bugatti is well heeled with a mid-mounted 8.0-liter W16 engine with four turbochargers. This beast of a power plant can churn out 1,578hp and 1,180 lb.-ft. of torque at peak RPM. In stock trim, the Chiron SS Read More

K-Swapped AWD Ford Escort Crucifies Nissan GT-R – Drag Racing

November 17th, 2023

Looking similar to a pink pig, this Honda K-swapped Ford Escort is into killing the competition. Prior to posting any runs at Street Car Takeover Charlotte, this car had run a best of 10.2-seconds @ 141 mph in the quarter-mile. Without a roll cage and uncertain about future passes, the car is running in limbo somewhere between exhibition and test and tune when he puts up a 10.03 @ 140 mph and a 10.05 @ 140 mph. The car owner astutely climbs into the 10-0 bracket for the remainder of the event. This Ford rides on an all-wheel drivetrain cobbled Read More

Crazy, right? How in the world can you have a race between a 6,500-pound 4×4 pickup and a 3,314-pound supercar?

Turbo AWD Acura Integra vs. Porsche 918 Spyder – Drag Race

November 7th, 2023

The real question is, can the modified Acura keep up with the stock Porsche on the dragstrip? The all-wheel drive 918 Spyder features a mid-mounted naturally aspirated 4.6-liter V8 engine and a pair of electric motors. All combined, the Spyder can generate 887hp and 944 lb.-ft. of torque.

Turbo Silverado Sleeper – Too Much for the Street?

October 27th, 2023

This video is an update on the Ugly Truck project. We follow along as LT details the build and shows us why the Silverado Sleeper pickup may be a bit much for the street. Too much power? Banish the thought. At the heart of this project is an engine swap. Out came the small block LS motor and in went an 8.1-liter big block truck engine. After a brief (150 mile) testing period to make sure the motor could take big boost, it was removed and updated with a Comp Cams camshaft and valvetrain. The stock intake manifold was ported, Read More
