Here we have a bevy of rightly situated hot rods. Each of these Corvettes is engineered with the sole purpose of roll racing on the streets (of Mexico). And the Viper? Don’t even get me started on what Calvo does to a Viper. The first race is between a couple of Corvettes. In the left lane is the SA FAST ZR1. It’s making 1000hp. On the right is the Grey Matter ZR1 that also claims 1000hp. Both cars are supercharged, and both are extremely fast. Advantage goes to the white car. It gaps the grey car in multiple hits, reaching Read More

Here are the top ten street (roll) races of the past year. This is what happens when gearheads with money prepare machines that are purpose built for roll racing on the streets (of Mexico). Buckle up. It’s about to get real. First up is a contest between a twin turbocharged Ford Mustang GT and a modified BMW M3 making 850hp. The Mustang dominates this affair shot from multiple camera angles. Race number two pairs up a Whipple (supercharged) Ford Mustang and a C5 Chevrolet Corvette with a kit of nitrous. Both cars toe the line, and the countdown ensues. The Read More

After driving his Dodge Viper 244.43 mph in the half-mile, 18-year old Milan Patel showed up at the Maryland International Raceway and put on a drag racing extravaganza! His Gen II Viper has posted a best quarter-mile time of 6.96-seconds @ 215 mph. That’s a World Record set by Sal Patel (who is Milan’s dad) in 2012. We are looking for more great things from this video. Sal’s Viper is an incredible example of speed and power. It is equipped with a stock (block) 8.4-liter V10 engine that has been enhanced with a pair of Garrett Gen II GTX 88 Read More

This video is a compilation of the best street racing we have ever filmed. There are vehicles that make less than 300hp and some that make more than 2,000hp. These clips were gathered from years of street racing (roll and dig) from almost every corner of the planet. Enjoy. Our first race of the evening is of the dig variety. Featured in this contest are a twin turbocharged Gen II Camaro and a 2,500hp Nissan GT-R. Both cars cut a clean light and the Camaro takes the early advantage. Eventually, the all-wheel drive platform and massive horsepower of the GT-R Read More

This video documents circumstances that occur when a naturally aspirated Dodge Viper rolls up on a group of Supra owners doing their thang on the interstate (of Mexico). It doesn’t take long for the Viper to get knee deep in the playhouse of these Supra owners. Most of these imports are turbocharged and purpose-built for roll racing. Think they’ll have anything for the modified Viper? Let’s take a look. This Viper has been upgraded with a 9L Xtreme stroker kit from PREFIX. The 9.0-liter PREFIX motor includes an aluminum block with press-in cast iron cylinder liners. All internal rotating parts Read More

Welcome drag racing fans – and speed freaks of every ilk – to a boisterous evening of racing on the streets of Mexico. These tenacious competitors have met up and absconded in a southernly fashion to see who has the fastest roll racer on the interstate. Vehicles (cars and trucks) from GM, Ford and Dodge are on hand, as well as vehicles representing several import automakers. Let’s drop down south of the border and see what’s the big deal. In the first contest of the night, a 1,000+ hp Corvette Z06 rolls up on a Calvo Motorsports Dodge Viper. The Read More

Things are about to get real as these very fast cars and bikes venture south of the border for some roll racing shenanigans. Turbo and twin turbo Dodge Vipers, McLarens, Lamborghinis, GT-Rs – along with some of the baddest street bikes on the planet – are on-hand to log street hits. Have a look. The first race in this impressive lineup is between a supercharged (with nitrous) Viper and a McLaren 720S. The Dodge gets the best of the British beauty before blowing the top off the intake manifold. Wow! Up next, we have a 1600hp Calvo (CM1600) Dodge Viper Read More

On a closed private airstrip; on a clear Florida morning, an uncontested 2006 Dodge Viper rolled onto the tarmac with testing new components as the primary focus. The car was a 2006 Dodge Viper that had been radically modified with a system of twin turbochargers. The stock (8.4-liter V10) engine has been upgraded and professionally built. Output performance for this outrageous automobile is estimated to be in the range of 1,400whp and 1,177 lb.-ft. of torque. The front engine rear-wheel drive coupe weighs in at 3,480-pounds and has a 6-speed manual transmission. As testing gets underway, it is noticed that Read More

What’s the difference between a Dodge Viper and a Chevrolet Corvette? When it comes down to a head-to-head race, which of theses two iconic supercars would perform the best? This clip gives us the answer to this question – at least when it comes to roll racing. These two sports car enthusiasts take a trip down to Mexico for some street hits on the highway. Once and for all, we get to see which car is king. The C7 Chevrolet Corvette is powered by a supercharged V8 engine. The 6.2-liter motor is topped with a 1.7-liter Eaton roots-type blower to Read More

Who’s the king of the bakery? That would be the baddest roll racer in the land. My money is on anything wearing the Calvo Motorsports moniker. When it comes to building twin turbocharged Dodge Vipers that make thousands of horsepower, nobody does it better than Calvo. Nobody. Coming at you from FL2K19 in Bradenton, Florida, Calvo has brought out a bevy of Viper entries in T/A, ACR, and GTS trim. They roll out in various stages of modification – all ready to do battle on the track. The first specimen is a dull gray and carbon-fiber GTS with a CM1300 Read More
