This video takes us from the shop – where we learn how to build a beast of a Toyota Supra – to the dyno to Apex Motor Club for some track time against a couple of rowdy Porsche owners. Hang on to your coat tails ladies, this one is gonna get wild! The Toyota Supra (made by BMW) is an adequate piece of performance machinery from the factory. Trouble is that adequate just don’t blow the whistle for the typical gearhead. Enter Pure Turbo. They make an OEM style true bolt-on turbocharger upgrade that is worth its weight in gold. Read More

Some time ago, we introduced you to Kyle (from 1320 Video) and showed you his AMS built Audi R8 V10 Plus. The twin turbo build was a thorough undertaking that yielded a street car that makes in excess of 1,200whp. This time, we take you to the track (TX2K21) for the first roll racing hits for this newly built Audi. The car arrives in Texas via the AMS transport from Chicago. It is the first time that Kyle has seen the car completely assembled and he is overjoyed. With all the back slapping and neck hugging out of the way, Read More

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

We are back to TX2K21 for this one. Tonight, we meet Murda 2J and he brings us up to speed on his incredible Lexus (Toyota) IS300. Even with a stock (not sleeved) engine block, this compact sedan can claim the title for first IS300 to ever post a 7-second quarter-mile (7.8-seconds). The motor is a stock 2JZGE, which is one of the inline 6-cylinder bottom-ends originally used by Lexus. Although the block is essentially stock, the pistons and connecting rods have been replaced with performance parts and hardware. The cylinder head has been upgraded to a 2JZGTE model head. The Read More

We’re headed back to the Sunshine State tonight where we’ll meet up with Austin Rodriquez and his 2018 Ford Mustang GT at Palm Beach Dyno. Austin has posted a best elapsed time of 10.1-seconds @ 136 mph in the quarter-mile, but tonight he will be taking it to the street for some roll racing hits against a nitrous Chevrolet C5 Corvette and a Nissan GT-R with full bolt-ons running E85 fuel. This stunning Mustang GT has undergone some significant mods, but Austin is yet to include ant type of power-adder. That’s right – no nitrous, no blower and no turbocharger. Read More

Prepare to get your hands dirty as the professionals at Late Model Racecraft (LMR) take us through the steps on a 2016 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 build. After the hard part is done, the dyno tells the true story. No secrets once the car is strapped to this thing. Once the preliminary tuning is finished on the dyno – and we know what the car is capable of with the new mods – the tuner will wander out onto the street for some final tuning. The story ain’t over there. What should come alongside but a brand-spanking new Ferrari 488. This Read More

It is extraordinarily rare to run across a Mazda RX-7 with a 4-rotor (engine) setup. It is twice as unlikely to come across two – much less on the same day and in the same place. One could make the comparison of being struck by lightning – twice. Let’s begin with the Formula Seven (black) car. It started as a 1993 Mazda RX-7 with no motor or transmission. Car owner, David Mazzei had a vision for what the car could be, and the reality has been four-years in the making. For David, it has been a labor of love. Under 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.
