Big Booty Judy – 1953 Ford F100 Restomod

March 8th, 2024

Did you see the wagon she’s dragging? Oh, that’s Big Booty Judy a longtime father-and-son project that has finally reached maturity. Big Booty Judy (BBJ) is looking good and feeling good with a modern powertrain and enough nostalgic essence to stop traffic. Under the hood of BBJ is a small block Ford stroked out to 347 cubic-inches and outfitted with a set of Canfield aluminum cylinder heads. On top is a Holley Sniper (throttle body) fuel injection setup. Those funky looking solenoids represent a 175hp shot of nitrous to help this pickup get out of the hole. On motor alone, Read More

Blown Small Block Swapped 1966 Chevy Nova Restomod

March 4th, 2024

This is the story of Justin Brown and his restomod 1966 Chevy Nova. A military trained mechanic by trade, Justin purchased this Nova as a fresh build (online, sight-unseen). To make a long story short, he wound up rebuilding the car that had been put together in a haphazard fashion. This is how it went down. Fresh off a tour in Afghanistan, Jason takes cross country delivery of the Nova and gets ready to load up the kids and take a test ride. Much to his chagrin, the front end is popping and cracking like a jalopy. After a total Read More

Audi RS3 (E60) vs. Ford Mustang GT (E85) – Street Hits

March 2nd, 2024

These two cars are as different as daylight and dark. On the one-hand, we have the import sedan with a turbocharged 5-cylinder powerplant. On the other hand, an unapologetically domestic coupe with a bodacious naturally aspirated V8 mill. When these two meet on the street – it’s going to be pandemonium! A luxury performance sedan, the Audi RS3 features a turbocharged 2.5-liter inline 5-cylinder engine that can produce 401hp and 369 lb.-ft. of torque in factory condition. A stock RS3 can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.3-seconds and turn the standing quarter-mile in 11.8-seconds @ 117 mph. The Read More

This 2021 Ford Mustang GT came with a 5.0-liter V8 mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. In stock condition, the Mustang could make 460hp and 420 lb.-ft. of torque (at the crankshaft).

At a curb weight of 2,485-pounds, with a 7.3-liter V8 onboard, this Superformance 1964 Shelby Cobra MkIII roadster is truly a monster. Imagine what Carroll Shelby would say if he could hear this 600hp naturally aspirated beast roar. Under the hood is a 7.3-liter Ford Godzilla V8.

The time is right for racing on the streets. Tonight, we have a pair of competitors prepared to take advantage of the night. On the agenda is roll racing between a Mitsubishi Evolution and a Chevrolet C7 Corvette Z06. Each of the cars has been drastically modified to improve performance – in their own respective ways. Let’s take a look at the machines before they line up for roll racing at 60 mph. Sometimes referred to as a Diamond Star Motors (DSM) sedan, the Mitsubishi EVO is equipped with a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine with a turbocharger. Featured in this Read More

Domestic Dispute – Camaro SS vs. Charger Hellcat Street Hits

February 15th, 2024

These two homegrown heavies are all set to knuckle-up and get down on the streets (of Mexico). The phrase of the day is roll racing and the action will jump-off at 60 mph. The Hell kitty has traction issues at lower speeds. That’s what I call a good problem. The Chevrolet Camaro SS 1LE is a naturally aspirated car. Powered by a 6.2-liter V8 that can produce 455hp in factory condition, the Camaro SS is track oriented (as opposed to drag oriented). Nevertheless, with the right mods it can go plenty fast in a straight line. Upgrades to this Chevy Read More

The Most Powerful Ford Ever – 2025 Mustang GTD

February 14th, 2024

With a ferocious desire to take the Nurburgring crown away from the Porsche GT3 RS, Ford engineers have produced the baddest Mustang to date. Looking like the space-age cousin of the iconic muscle car, the 2025 Mustang GTD is set to blow the competition away. Nicknamed the “Green Hell” by legendary race driver Jackie Stewart, the Nurburgring is one of the most challenging road courses in the world. It is where high-performance production track cars go to prove their worth. Ford would like to get a piece of the Nurburgring pie. In order to accomplish such a feat, they will Read More
