We are keeping things nearly stock (and street) tonight with a domestic versus import battle that’ll have you on the edge of your seat. We’ll join the shenanigans as these two competitors roll onto the interstate – you guessed it – in Mexico. The bone stock LT1 is mid-tier in the Chevrolet Camaro lineup. Its all-aluminum 6.2-liter V8 engine is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. At peak RPM, the 6.2 LS motor can produce 455hp and 455 lb.-ft. of torque. The LT1 can accelerate from 0 t0 60 mph in 3.9-seconds and turn the standing quarter-mile in 12.2-seconds @ Read More
This one is for Toby Vitatoe – the king of Kansas City street racing. Toby passed away a few years ago but his memory lives on in the heart of these competitors. With that in mind, let’s get down to where the rubber meets the road – in Mexico. Immediately following the driver’s meeting, the lone Tesla P100 D Plaid was matched up against Carole Baskin in his Ford F-150 with a big block motor and twin turbochargers. The all-wheel drive (electric) Tesla took the early advantage and won by a car length over the rear-wheel drive pickup that failed Read More
Out trolling for a street race (in Mexico), we encountered a band of roving predators in the form of 1,000+hp Chevrolet Corvettes. Some were supercharged, some turbocharged and others were naturally aspirated. All were fast. In blue, we have a C7 Corvette with a Magnuson 2650 blower and nitrous. He’s claiming 1,100hp. There’s a maroonish Corvette Z06 that’s making 900hp and a silver Corvette ZR1 claiming 1,000hp. The silver car has a Kong ported 2650 supercharger with an aftermarket lid. All three cars are supercharged with voluminous high-performance bolt-ons and tuning variants. The Corvette kids will be running against a Read More
The 2022 Lamborghini Huracan EVO featured in this video could be called “Check Out Time”. When it’s time to check out – this thing is gone. Transporting quickly from point A to point B is no hassle for this Italian stunner built by the professionals at Sheepey Race. Let’s meet the owner, Marco from Cleanoutracing, and let him tell us all about the car. It all begins behind the passenger seats. The mid-mounted engine is a work of art. This Lambo is outfitted with the Sheepey Race Elite 1500 kit. That means that the 5.2-liter V10 engine remains stock with Read More
The man, the myth, the legend, the lady’s pet and the men’s threat – our guy Frank is back and he’s sniffed-out another grudge race on the streets (of Mexico). Frank will get these competitors set up to go “full send” with all the camera angles and audio you crave. Prepare yourself for 60 to 150 mph roll racing action. The Mark IV Supra is what makes Toyota enthusiasts hearts go pitter-pat. Adding to the intrigue tonight: this one appears to be of the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) variety. Right-hand drive is the primary clue. Looking particularly sleek in silver Read More
Did you ever wonder what would win in a drag race between high-powered hybrids? We go across the pond for a crash course in hybrid supercar supremacy with Matt from carwow at the helm. Relish in this contest of power and speed as three of Europe’s feistiest production cars take to the track for a series of standing drag races. First up is the new (2024) Lamborghini Revuelto with its 6.5-liter V12 gas burner and a trio of electric motors. Standing alone, the mid-mounted V12 engine is capable of producing 814hp. Three electric motors bump the maximum output up to Read More
Tonight, we have competitors representing two contrasting styles of transportation. In the first lane, the car is loud and obnoxious. It is belching race gas fumes and slinging bits of burnt rubber everywhere. The exhaust note from this car is deafening. In the opposite lane is a vehicle that requires no traction optimizing burnout. There are no exhaust fumes and – most riveting – it makes virtually no sound. Let’s get a closer look at these sleds. The beautifully loud and menacing automobile is the Chevrolet Corvette Z06. It’s a C7, or seventh generation, if you are curious. Under the Read More
We race the all new Lucid Sapphire vs the Tesla Model S Plaid to see who is the real king of the drag strip.
