Getting back to the streets (of Mexico) tonight, we find a fast-paced matchup between an unlikely pair of roll racers. Either one of these cars is enough to stop traffic and make an enthusiast snap his/her neck. Side-by-side, they are a recipe for pandemonium. Buckle-up! The 2014 Shelby Mustang GT500 is a brute of a pony car. Under the hood is a supercharged 5.8-liter V8 engine that can make 662hp and 631 lb.-ft. of torque in factory condition. All that power is routed to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission. As the flagship car in the Mustang lineup, Read More

This epic evening of street (roll) racing features a twin turbocharged Lambo Huracan in action against other premium street machines. Shall we join the action already in progress (in Mexico)? The initial contest is between the TT Huracan and a modified C7 Corvette Z06. In addition to the twin turbo kit, the Huracan also has a built engine. The Corvette has been upgraded with a ported blower, high-performance cylinder heads and a high-performance camshaft. In the first hit, the ‘Vette will get the jump. The Chevy launches out front for a fraction of a second before the Lambo hawks him Read More

It’s that time of year again. Sick Week 2024 is upon us and it’s happening in the Sunshine State. 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

We are in for a special treat from across the pond. This Carwow clip delivers with a four-way supercar showdown. The combined value of these cars is more than $1-million.

This is another entry in the Tesla Cybertruck series. With the Cybertruck hitting the streets, it’s time to see how it compares with other high-performance trucks and SUVs. This time we are pitting the all-electric Tesla against the gasoline powered Lamborghini Urus. This should be one heckuva race. The all-wheel drive Tesla Cybertruck only looks like it’s from Mars. It really comes from Texas. This futuristic workhorse is powered by a trio of electric motors that can generate the equivalent of 845hp. Despite weighing 6,800-pounds, the Cybertruck (Cyberbeast version) can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.6-seconds and turn Read More

We race the 770 HP Lamborghini Aventador SVJ vs my 640 HP Huracan Tecnica. The Aventador SVJ, with its naturally aspirated 6.5L V12 engine, delivers a breathtaking 770 hp, offering raw, unfiltered power. The Huracan Tecnica, on the other hand, comes with a slightly less powerful but still impressive 5.2L V10 engine, pushing out 640 hp. Both cars showcase Lamborghini’s commitment to high-performance engines without turbocharging. The Aventador SVJ takes aerodynamics to an extreme with its ALA (Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva) system, providing active aero adjustments for optimal downforce and drag. The Huracan Tecnica, while still aerodynamically efficient, opts for a Read More

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

Drum roll, please. It’s here – the 1,000hp 2024 Lamborghini Revuelto has finally made it. The Revuelto offers innovative features like torque vectoring, regenerative braking, all-wheel steering and active aerodynamics but retains the time-tested Lambo standard of high-revving, naturally aspirated, mid-engine performance. Throttle House takes us along on a track-based review of this brand-spanking-new Italian supercar. It all begins with a mid-mounted 6.5-liter V12 engine that can make 814hp and 535 lb.-ft. of torque – but, that ain’t where it ends. There’s also a trio of electric motors capable of generating the equivalent of 148hp and 258 lb.-ft. of torque. Read More
