Rowing Gears – 8-Second Stick Shift Camaros at Street Car Takeover Atlanta

November 12th, 2020

Fittingly wearing the name “Moore HP”, this team showed up at Street Car Takeover in Commerce, Georgia and made it clear that they weren’t there to take part. They were there to take over! Though both the Moore HP cars are equipped with manual gearboxes – and both are Chevrolet Camaros – that is where the similarities end. The first of these 8-second nightmares is a Gen IV Camaro (F Body) with a twin turbocharged 4.7-liter LS motor. The transmission is a Tick Performance T-56 (face-plated) and the clutch is by Black Magic. This silver bullet is running E85 fuel. Read More

Cadillac CTS-V vs Paxton Mustang vs Corvette Z06 – Street Hits

December 14th, 2019

This is how we do it on the streets! Of Mexico no doubt. This clip brings us a look inside the world of top-shelf roll racing. It features some of the baddest machines and hungriest competitors as they roll out onto a (nearly) deserted strip of interstate to see who wants it more. Without further ado, let’s get down to where the rubber meets the road. The first car that we encounter is a modified (black) Corvette. It has a Vortech YSi supercharger and can make 900hp. Next, there’s a twin turbocharged Camaro running 20-pounds of boost. Then there’s a Read More

1500HP Classic Camaro – 8-Second Street Car

October 1st, 2019

It ain’t about being flashy. It’s all about how fast you can get from point A to point B. Certainly, Mark Urban (Urban Racecars) has built himself a Camaro that can get from A to B in one quick hurry. What it lacks in shine, it more than makes up for in performance. Let’s catch up with Mark, fresh from Drag Week. Under the hood of this Chevy is an LSx V8 (7.0-liter) engine running a hydraulic camshaft/lifter setup. It has a stock LS3 intake manifold, 2002 Corvette exhaust manifolds and a 5-inch air-to-air intercooler. The turbochargers are a pair Read More

Twin Turbo 7-Liter Camaro Wins 2016 Hot Rod Drag Week

September 28th, 2016

Check out this clip of Clark Rosenstengel and his GenV Camaro. He lays down a 7.80 1/4-mile pass at 170 mph in a car that still has factory air conditioning. If that isn’t enough to prove this is a true street machine, it is also riding on radial tires (Mickey Thompsons). One might conclude that, with a Steve Morris built 427 cubic-inch LSX (that means Chevrolet) engine and a pair of sparkling stainless-steel Bullseye 80-millimeter turbochargers, this grueling week long event (Hot Rod Drag Week) would be a cake walk. Not so much; you see, Clark and the gang had Read More

2200HP Camaro Takes 1300-Mile Road Trip

July 20th, 2016

Feel like a 1,300-mile road trip? How about in a turbo car that is pushing over 2,000hp? Now, try it with four-rounds of drag racing along the way? That’s exactly what Rocky Mountain Race Week 2016 entails for Doug Cline and his awesome orange 1969 Chevy Camaro. This car is in every way a street car – that is capable of posting 1/4-mile passes that dip into the 6-second range (over 200 mph). It is equipped with a 598 cubic-inch big block Chevy engine and a pair of Precision 94-millimeter turbochargers. Ride along as this journey winds through the Colorado Read More

3000HP Second-Gen Camaro Street Car

June 9th, 2016

First of all, this Camaro is a street car. It is an all steel car (prepared by BrandoSpeed) with all of the factory glass intact. Despite weighing in at more than 3,500-pounds, this car whipped every other car in its class – at the Outlaw Chaos Event in Cedar Falls, Iowa – to take home the cash. A massive 540-cubic-inch ProLine racing engine and a pair of turbochargers get this fantastic looking muscle car down the 1/8-mile post-haste. This is a no prep event but the best 1/8-mile ET for this Mustang killer is 4.38-seconds. Take a gander for yourself; Read More

7-Second TT ‘70s Camaro

February 2nd, 2016

This car may have been the highlight of the entire Street Car Takeover Event in Denver. It boasts a sharp silver metallic paint job with burnt orange rally stripes. Inside the rally stripes are the most eye-catching ghost flames that you have ever seen. This is truly one of the most beautiful cars you’ll ever see on a drag strip – but it ain’t how you look it’s what ya’ got under the hood! This beast is equipped with a 565-inch aluminum big block with a pair of Garrett 88-millimeter turbochargers. The combo is obviously good for some serious horsepower Read More
