November 18th, 2013

Information on the upcoming 2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo has leaked out and while the specs look great, the pricing might have gone a bit out of control.  Power from the 3.8L V6 Twin Turbo has been increased to 595 horsepower and 480 ft-lbs of torque due to larger turbochargers, a revised intake manifold along with an updated exhaust system.  The only performance spec to be leaked so far is the Nürburgring  time of  just 7:08. Our last test of the 2013 Nissan GT-R with 545 horsepower resulted in 0-60 in 2.7 seconds and a 1/4 mile time of 10.87 @ 125 MPH. Read More

August 15th, 2011

A test Viper outfitted with the new front end of the 2013 Dodge Viper was spotted cruising around over the weekend. The car is heavily disguised using blacked out fabric material, so not much can really be seen. Although being that the front end can still be fitted on the older car makes us wonder how much has really changed. Hopefully we’ll see the return of a monster V10 pushing at least 700 horsepower with a more advanced transmission from the likes of the Ferrari 458 Italia. Image Credit: KGP Photography
