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

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

Less than a decade ago there were few auto enthusiasts that wanted anything to do with an electric vehicle. They were ugly, slow and rare. Today, they are among the fastest and most sought-after vehicles on the street. This half-mile drag race features two of the most capable production cars on the planet – from a performance standpoint. They just happen to be totally electric. The Lucid Air Sapphire, manufactured in the United States, is an all-wheel drive luxury sedan that just happens to run an 8.95-second quarter-mile @ 158 mph. That’s better than any Corvette, Mustang or Hellcat model. Read More
