Speaking with an accent akin to my own, the iconic band known as Lynyrd Skynyrd said they were headed “Down South Jukin’ and looking for some peace of mind”. These crazy South Texas gearheads are after anything but peace. It’s pandemonium they seek in the form of a Mini Texas Cash Days (about a dozen cars) on the streets (of Mexico). Shall we investigate further? Walking past a turbo LS swapped BMW, our initial encounter is with a man in a Silverado pickup. He’s running a 408 cubic-inch V8 motor with aftermarket cylinder heads and a 98-millimeter turbocharger. The automatic Read More
We take out the all new 1,234 HP Lucid Sapphire for some test passes down the 1/4 mile before we race the Tesla Plaid and Dodge Demon 170 down the 1/4 Mile.
The high-powered Dodge Demon 170 has chosen another victim and is circling its prey. We join the action already in progress as these combatants lock horns in a struggle for cash and bragging rights. Here we go! As the top of the heap for the Ford Mustang lineup, the 2021 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is packing plenty of punch. At a curb weight of 4,171-pounds, the GT500 comes equipped with a supercharged 5.2-liter engine aptly named The Predator. The all-aluminum (block and heads) V8 is capable of producing 760hp and 625 lb.-ft. of torque. With the 7-speed automatic transmission, the Read More
Nothing has spurned more street races than the timeless battle of brand loyalty between Ford and Chevy. This video takes a look at a grudge match between a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air and a 1931 Ford Model A. Both vehicles have been dramatically altered for drag racing purposes. Since both cruisers have the potential to lay down 8-second quarter-mile passes, they are each considered pretty fast. Let’s have a closer look. With a ton of new parts installed, Finnegan takes to the interstate in his Chevy. After a pit stop at Wild Horse Motorsports Park in Chandler, Arizona, the Chevy Read More
Some serious power is making it to the pavement when these two all-wheel drive supercars take to the interstate (in Mexico) for some high-speed low-drag shenanigans. Grab your gear and buckle-up ‘cause it’s about to get real. The 2022 Porsche 911 Turbo S is a German juggernaut. Featuring a rear-mounted twin turbocharged all-aluminum 3.7-liter flat six engine, the 911 Turbo S can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.2-seconds and blast through the quarter-mile in 10.7 seconds @ 137 mph. At a curb weight of 3,646-pounds, the Porsche 911 Turbo S has a top speed (electronically controlled) of 205 Read More
Our friends at Hot Rod Heaven would like to introduce Bill Hoskinson and his 10-second street rod Chevrolet Malibu sedan. Bill is the daddy rabbit of the Street Racing Channel (SRC) family that includes BILLYTH3KID and TommyGun. The Old Man’s Garage is one of the most successful street/strip racing channels on the internet. This video gives us a closer look at the Chevrolet G-Body that Bill has built as his personal plaything. The body and chassis are bone stock with the exception of some lowering springs and spindles. The brakes are four-wheel disc from Strange Engineering. Under the hood, Bill Read More
Tonight, we get a look at the new Mopar hot rod. The Dodge Demon 170 is the latest and greatest thing to come out of Motown since Gladys Knight and the Pips. The big reveal will be unfolding on the streets (of Mexico). At a curb weight of 4,096-pounds, the all-wheel drive 2022 BMW M5 Competition is equipped with an all-aluminum twin turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine capable of producing 627hp and 553 lb.-ft. of torque in stock trim. Using the 8-speed automatic transmission, the M5 can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.6-seconds and turn the standing quarter-mile in Read More
Izzy’s Back and he brought a maximum performance twin turbo Audi for our amusement. Last time that Shawn (from Autotopia LA) got in the car with this guy (it was a 1,900hp Nissan GT-R), his backside tried to eat the bottom half of the seat cushion. He was so scared! This time the car is even faster. Shawn better take a half a baby aspirin and grab his crying towel. It’s gonna be a wild ride. The base platform is a 2018 Audi R8 V10 Plus. When Izzy got the car, it was bone stock. Modified by Sheepy Race, this Read More
