This clip just goes to show that you never know what you will roll up against on the street. You can’t blame a guy (or gal) for wanting to push the limits of their new sports car. How else are you going to know what it will do? However, a spoonful of discretion may save you a truck load of embarrassment if you call out the wrong sled. First, ask what modifications have been performed on your potential victim. Most hot-rodders and gearheads will tell you all about what has been done to their precious ride. Next, just listen. If Read More

Today is the day that kings are crowned, and peasants are sent packing. It’s the final day of season opening TX2K21 at Houston Raceway Park and there is high-octane drama in every class. Let’s drop in and have a look. Right out of the gate, we are treated to a run by a lime green old school Mazda RX7. This car looks like a million bucks and he posts an impressive run of 7.01-seconds @ 204 mph. The next race features a booger green Mustang owned by Brad LeSalle. When it’s all over, he posts a run of 7.21-seconds @ Read More

Welcome to the (southern) left coast, where the weather is always sunny and the racing is street. Here in the Golden State, this is how they run Cash Days – 16 cars at a time. Racing is single elimination, and the rules are simple. Don’t leave early. Don’t cross the center line in front of your opponent. Be first across the finish line. That’s it. By the way, it’s winner take all. Have a look. In the first race, we have a twin turbo Nissan GT-R against a nitrous Pontiac Ventura (Chevy Nova). After an abbreviated burnout, the Pontiac cuts Read More

Import versus domestic is the new standard grudge match when it comes to virtually every form of racing. The grudge is well represented in this contest between the flagship of the GM lineup and the best that Acura (Honda) has to offer. Both vehicles are stock (or nearly stock). The C7 (2014-2019) Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is a beast of a street car. Equipped with an LT4 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine, the C7 Z06 can make 650hp and 650 lb.-ft. of torque. The LT4 power plant features such innovative performance components as Rotocast A356T6 aluminum cylinder heads and a 1.7-liter Eaton Read More

This video answers the decade old question of “what can I do to make my tiny mid-engine sports car faster”? The answer for Toyota MR-2 owner Kyle Wade and his BoostedBoiz crew was to scrap the Toyota mill and replace it with a Honda unit. Just add a pair of massive turbochargers and – kaboom! – you are ready to dominate the competition. No matter who you are – quarter-mile passes in the 8-second range are pretty impressive in most circles. Kyle says that this Toyota is running a built and sleeved K24 (2.4-liter) Honda engine with a cylinder head Read More

The standing half-mile is an excellent test of top speed and durability. The 2020 Indy Airstrip Attack attracted some of the most capable half-mile machines in the country. One of the most capable of these competitors is a Honda S2000 with a heck of an attitude. Car owner Stuart Leiby and T1 Race Development have built a record shattering Honda S2000 without even swapping the engine. Under the hood is the stock F22C1 DOHC Vortec motor (block and crankshaft) with a 68-millimeter Xona Rotor turbocharger. The F22C1 motor is cylinder sleeved from the factory, making it an ideal candidate for Read More

No, your eyes have not failed you – this Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat sedan is rocking a turbocharger and a supercharger. Whoa! Wait a minute. While there is a supercharger bolted between the cylinder heads, it is only being used as an intake manifold. It has a belt but no guts inside. A turbocharger has taken its place as the sole source of forced air induction. The stock (6.2-liter HEMI) engine block has been upgraded with performance pistons and connecting rods. The crankshaft is factory, but the camshaft has also been upgraded. The turbocharger is a Borg Warner S488 SX-E Read More

You boys (and girls) like Mexico? I certainly hope so, ‘cause it is time to dip down into Old Mexico for some door-handle-to-door-handle roll racing on the interstate. Featured in this video is a rear-wheel drive Acura Integra with a rear mounted engine. Yeah, an engine in the trunk! As the cameraman climbs onboard, this driver searches the streets for some V8 powered cruisers to shock. Let’s see what happens when the rubber meets the road. Powering this unique build is a stock V6 engine (3.0-liter) with a Precision 6466 turbocharger. Everything about this car screams “race ready” but can Read More

This street racing video has it all – street hustlers, outright liars, and loveable losers. It also has domestics, imports, and supercars, all locked in head-to-head roll racing competition. Capable cars from all over the country meet up in Texas and drop down south of the border where the action quickly heats up. Take a gander for yourself. The cameraman first climbs into a Corvette ZR1 with a Kong ported blower, full bolt-ons, and a methanol injection. Maximum output is estimated at 800whp. The ‘Vette gets jumped by a rear-wheel drive Acura Integra straightaway. The Integra comes out hard but Read More

The backdrop looks like this: It’s 4:00 a.m. and there are about thirty street racers milling about a shopping center parking lot, somewhere below the southern U.S. border. Challenges are issued and gambling matters are sorted before our cameraman climbs into a 2JZ (Toyota engine) swapped Honda S2000. After that, the racers begin filing out of the parking lot and heading for the interstate. The time has come to put your money where your mouth is – let’s race! After borrowing an oil filler cap from a Supra owner, the S2000 was ready to hit the highway and roll on Read More
