The crazies at Hoonigan are at it again. This time, they’re coming from the Texas Motorplex for a Longhorn style This vs That. It’s a contest that cobbles together the best from the U.S. in competition with a monster from the Land of the Rising Sun. This will be a carefully orchestrated series of drag races on a closed course – No Prep style. In lime green is the 2016 Nissan GT-R. An all-wheel drive coupe, the GT-R (known around the world as Godzilla) is powered by a twin turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 punched out and stroked to 4.1-liters. The turbochargers Read More
Tonight, the roll racing action will be from 50 to 150 mph, and it will be on the streets (of Mexico). Each competitor has studiously prepared their respective top-tier high-performance machines in order to win these specific types of races. Both racers will be accompanied by a single passenger. These passengers will undoubtedly be white-knuckling the grab handles (where available). On the right is the 2022 Porsche 911 Turbo S. At a base price of more than $200K, the all-wheel drive 911 Turbo S features a twin turbocharged flat 6 engine with an aluminum block and heads. In stock trim, Read More
This one is for all the old school gearheads who can remember finding the Amoco station with the “white gas” for their hot rods. These are the guys and gals who know what is meant by a “gasser”. It’s also for the youngbloods who need to know some drag racing history. Made popular during the 1950s and 1960s, the gasser could be recognized by the front suspension that was raised above the stock height. Raising the front suspension was supposed to offset the typical weight distribution issues often encountered under heavy acceleration. The gasser would also have open exhaust that Read More
We are jumping back out there on the interstate (in Mexico) this evening for more roll racing hijinks. Come join the action as two modified machines lock horns in a form of racing that begins where the speed limit ends. Known as SXNH8 (Section Hate), the all-wheel drive Ford F-150 is lowered and outfitted with drag slicks on all four corners. In stock trim, the 5.0-liter V8 under the hood is not going to blow anybody’s skirt up. However, if you bolt on a twin turbo kit with an air-to-air intercooler and all the accoutrement, you’ve got a neck-snapping street Read More
The Roadster Shop has done it again. Thanks to Shawn (from Autotopia LA) for bringing us this rolling masterpiece. Let’s join Jeremy Gerber (RS) and our man Shawn for a detailed look at the ins-and-outs of this banging Chevy. First of all, this car is part of the Roadster Shop Survivor Series. In short, that implies that the entire build is more about function than about fit and finish. This is a driver’s car meant to get the job done on a daily basis. First impressions: Yes, that bulge in the hood is custom fabricated sheet metal. The owner requested Read More
It’s drag racing season in the Sunshine State and that means 5-0 (Five-Oh) is on the prowl. This time, they are actually on the track – crushing dreams and smoking tires. This Ford Fairmont police car certainly looks intimidating with an athletic stance, fat back tires and a big bulge in the hood. Who knows what’s under there. Barney ain’t hiding today. He’ll be towing the line in the other lane, ready to deliver the smack down in the quarter-mile. The first perpetrator of the day is a Dodge Charger Scatpack. In addition to all the Scatpack goodies, this car Read More
These hyped-up gearheads are taking it back to the streets (of Mexico) for some high-speed roll racing action. We join the festivities already in progress. The 2022 Toyota Supra is a collaboration between Toyota and BWM. It rolls off the assembly line with a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder engine that can produce between 255hp and 382hp. Higher tier stock Supra GR models could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.8-seconds and turn the quarter-mile in 12.1-seconds @ 117 mph. The car featured in this video has been upgraded with an open exhaust, full bolt-ons and some degree of weight Read More
