1400HP 2JZ Swapped Honda S2000 vs. Sketchy Vert – Street Hits

April 9th, 2020

The backdrop looks like this: It’s 4:00 a.m. and there are about thirty street racers milling about a shopping center parking lot, somewhere below the southern U.S. border. Challenges are issued and gambling matters are sorted before our cameraman climbs into a 2JZ (Toyota engine) swapped Honda S2000. After that, the racers begin filing out of the parking lot and heading for the interstate. The time has come to put your money where your mouth is – let’s race! After borrowing an oil filler cap from a Supra owner, the S2000 was ready to hit the highway and roll on Read More

Mystery Solved – Beater Bomb Pops Hood

June 12th, 2018

So, this video is a little different. It documents the guys from 1320 as they saddle up and take a ride (by way of Mexico) over to an Omaha (NE) cruise-in car show. More importantly, the man, the myth, the legend – Beater Bomb – open his hood to finally let the world see what’s under there. Of course, when you get a group of gearheads on the asphalt, they can’t help but stomp the accelerator with frequency. That is especially true when you have outstanding examples like the Unicorn C5 Corvette ZR1 with a Huron Speed twin turbo kit Read More

1970 Camaro SS Restomod – The Build

March 17th, 2018

It requires but a glance to see that this is no ordinary Gen II Camaro SS. Thanks to the Roadster Shop, what was once a dirty, greasy, rusted, and forgotten muscle car is transformed into the masterpiece which is the focus of this video. It begins with a total teardown of the unibody car and fashioning a fully-boxed, chrome moly chassis and custom Roadster Shop Fast Track suspension. The factory sheet metal was reasonably straight but is now flawless and a fully functional wide body kit makes this a Camaro that you will never forget. Under the hood, there was Read More

Budget Built Twin Turbo Corvette Street Mauler

January 3rd, 2017

Who needs a Z06 or a ZR1? This industrious street racer has taken what was a bare bones C6 and turned it into a street mauler – without breaking the bank. The secret is – as you have ascertained from the title – forced air induction from a pair of massive turbochargers. The Corvette C6 begins life as an interesting enough naturally aspirated sports car. The factory engine was a 6.0-liter LS2 that could catapult the ‘Vette from 0 to 60 mph in 4.2-seconds but it didn’t have the durability that this racer was after. Out comes the car engine Read More

1000HP Super Street Throw-Down

December 23rd, 2015

Check out this street throw-down between a twin turbo Porsche 997 with a VVi built 3.8-liter engine (putting down 1,038hp) and C6 Corvette with a Thompson Motorsports 370-cubic-inch V8, an 88-millimeter Precision turbocharger, specially built 6L80E automatic transmission with a 3400 stall converter (making around 1.000hp on 16 psi of boost). Now toss in a C7 ‘Vette (911whp) with a F1A Procharger, upgraded cylinder heads, a methanol injection kit, and a Borla exhaust system and you have got a serious horsepower situation. Now, run and tell that! This is a back-and-forth affair on some less-than deserted streets. Just when the Read More
