Two things stand out about this video. The first is Jay Leno and GM performance guru Tony Roma talking about acquiring a performance car on a budget. After all, Jay was one of the highest paid late night television hosts of his day. The second thing is that Jay is going to be talking about getting a fast car – that is also a Cadillac – on a budget. Are you ready for this? When it comes to hot cars, Jay Leno has more than just about anyone. His fleet of antique and collectable automobiles is legendary. He’s not going Read More

Big Frank is getting back to the streets (of Mexico) tonight. We have a pair of C7 Corvettes in a high-stakes grudge match. Roll racing is on the agenda. In the right lane is the Green Goblin Corvette Stingray. Hailing from the West Coast, this Stingray is loaded with high-performance goodies. Known modifications include (but are not limited to) a high-ram intake manifold, a full accoutrement of aftermarket bolt-ons and a tank full of VP M5 race gas. The base engine in the Stingray was a naturally aspirated 6.2-liter LT1 V8 rated at 460hp and 465 lb.-ft. of torque. The Read More
The Street Racing Channel crew (including the Old Man’s Garage and Gen 2 Garage) are hitting the road for some drag-and-drive action. Eldest son, Billy (BillyTH3KID) is piloting a friend’s twin turbo GMC Sierra work truck. That’s a regular cab with a short bed. The truck has been upgraded with a pair of turbochargers. Number two son, Tommy (Tommy2Guns) is back in the 1964 Ford Falcon for this private test and tune session. The old Ford has the rear wing removed, a gear change in the rear end and it is running smaller tires this season. The Old Man also Read More
Imagine that you are out tooling around the countryside (in your favorite hot rod) on a sunny spring afternoon. You roll up on a rusty 1971 Chevrolet C10 and notice that he has loud exhaust. Before you can say, let’s race, this old farm truck stomps the gas and leaves you sitting in a puddle of your own shaving cream. That would be Lance Smith in his 1999 Craftsman Series NASCAR Race Truck – disguised as a ’71 C10. Gotcha! Lance calls them “racerods”. He takes a raggedy old hull of a car (or truck) and sets it on a Read More
It’s on like Donkey Kong as these two modern muscle cars hook-up at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. This battle between Chevy and Ford has raged on for decades with no end in sight. Today, we get to see this historic clash personified as late model versions of each car lay it all on the line in the standing quarter-mile. That’s the C7 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 in Orange. Equipped with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8, the C7 ZR1 is arguably the best of the Corvette models. It boasts an output rating of 755hp and 715 lb.-ft. of torque. Top speed was Read More
Greetings gearheads, speed freaks and auto enthusiasts of every ilk. Allow me to introduce Robert and his labor of love. You see, Robert took over this 1965 Ford Mustang project after his beloved brother-in-law passed away. His goal was to complete the build and return the finished product to his sister in remembrance of her fallen husband. He grabbed the Mustang (in many pieces) and took it coast-to-coast from California to McQueens Hot Rod Shop in South Carolina. Robert rolled up his sleeves and helped his friends at McQueens to assemble the restomod you see here. Now, he has returned Read More
Whether it’s morning, noon or night, these street racers are revved up and ready to go. This clip delivers with a pair of modified domestic maulers that are chomping at the bit. Roll racing on the streets (of Mexico) – under the bright sunlight – is on the agenda. Slide those shades on and get ready to race! In the right lane, we have the C6 (2005-2013) Chevrolet Corvette. This domestic beauty is equipped with an LS3 6.2-liter V8 engine. The LS3 block and heads are aluminum. The crankshaft is nodular iron, the pistons are aluminum, and the connecting rods Read More
