Well, Shawn from Autotopia LA has found another hot rod over which we gearheads can drool. Owned by Griffin Steinfeld, this 1200hp supercharged monster is delivered in an unlikely package. Minus the wheel tubs and massive rear tires, one might assume that this Volvo 240DL Wagon is just your ordinary grocery getter. The front suspension and brakes are factory. Period. The rear suspension setup is custom four-link with fully adjustable shocks. The front wheels are also stock Volvo. The rears are Weld Racing. Griffin is running a 370 cubic-inch GM overhead cam LS V8 engine. It’s professionally built by Hustler Read More

Running on the streets (of Mexico) tonight, we have a shootout between import and domestic. The Chevy is bone stock and the BMW is only slightly modified for performance. Shall we examine the chariots? In white is the 2021 BMW M5 Competition. Equipped with a twin turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine, the all-wheel drive M5 is capable of producing 617hp and 553 lb.-ft. of torque in stock trim. Tipping the scales at 4,237-pounds, this BMW can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.8-seconds and turn the standing quarter-mile in 10.9-seconds @ 128 mph. Top speed is 190 mph and this Read More

These are some of the heaviest – and fastest – cars in the west and they’re getting prepared to face off in single elimination drag racing action. Vehicles must weigh more than 4,200-pounds to compete in the Heavyweight Class at Street Car Takeover (SCT) Denver. As you can imagine, this class will draw many trucks, SUVs and all-wheel drive vehicles that tend to be a bit viscous. Let’s take a look at the roster as the First Round begins. Up first is the fastest Cadillac CTS-V in the World. He’s claiming a 7-second standing quarter-mile and looking good doing so. Read More

It’s on like hotcakes on these Texas streets tonight. We’ve got a 1,100hp Nissan GT-R, an Underground Racing Lamborghini Huracan and a McLaren 720S. There’s even a pair of Toyotas duking it out in the first race. These Toyotas are both red and both are sporting massive turbochargers. One is an MK4 and the other is an MK5. This should be a wild one. It’s for the Toyota Championship. After the MK4 Supra got whooped in the first race, he rolled out against the Street Science Nissan GT-R. The Toyota is claiming 1,200hp but this Nissan is the daddy rabbit. Read More

Fishtailing and eating pavement at will, Smiley’s 1970 Ford Mustang is a family artifact that has finally reached fruition. Grandpa Smiley originally bought the Mustang and handed it down to Smiley’s dad who passed it to Smiley a few years ago (when he was sixteen). Unfortunately, Smiley’s dad has passed away since then. From what we can see, Smiley took a firm hand and set about correcting all those Ford mistakes. What he has created is a daily driver that is a rolling work of art. Rolling on ESR wheels wrapped in Toyo rubber – they are 19 x 9.5 Read More

It’s drag racing time in the Sunshine State, and we have Limpy on the Light. That means Cash Days and some head-to-head digs from the deepest, darkest remotes of swamp country. Get ready for sand in your craw and race fuel in your nostrils as the 1320 crew checks out Gator Crossing Cash Days. The first competitor we run into is Possum. I call him that because of the way he talks about his ride. “Oh, it does alright” he says about his twin turbo LS swapped Fox Body Mustang. This car looks to do a bit more than alright. Read More

Delving into the late hours of the evening – and the wee hours of the morning – we encountered these rivals in their thunderous chariots. At considerable expense they have assembled garish mounts destined to achieve victorious results. Let’s have a look at the hardware. On the right is the Chevrolet Colorado pickup. If not for the slicks on all four corners, this compact sized work truck would be a total street sleeper. The all-wheel drive Colorado has undergone some extensive modifications. The stock engine was tossed aside for an inline 6-cylinder 3.0-liter Toyota 2JZ engine. Used in early Supra Read More

Getting back to the streets (of Mexico) tonight, we find a fast-paced matchup between an unlikely pair of roll racers. Either one of these cars is enough to stop traffic and make an enthusiast snap his/her neck. Side-by-side, they are a recipe for pandemonium. Buckle-up! The 2014 Shelby Mustang GT500 is a brute of a pony car. Under the hood is a supercharged 5.8-liter V8 engine that can make 662hp and 631 lb.-ft. of torque in factory condition. All that power is routed to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission. As the flagship car in the Mustang lineup, Read More

Aptly named Sexy Sally, this 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS is certainly an attention getter. Riding on a stock chassis, Sexy Sally is right on the verge of being too much for the street. Just the way we like it. A car built around an engine; Sexy Sally features a 565 cubic-inch big block mill built by Beck Racing Engines. The massive motor consists of a Dart Big M block with Dart Pro 1 cylinder heads. The rotating assembly is forged to withstand copious amounts of nitrous. Everything inside the engine is premium. On motor only, the engine can produce 900whp Read More

Prowling them streets today, Big Frank found some street racing activity across the border. Imports and domestics are rolling out for some high-speed action to take home fat stacks of cash. You don’t think this is about to get outrageous? Hide and watch. The old school Toyota Supra is looking amazing in red. She’s outfitted with an inline 6-cylinder 2JZ motor and a big single turbo. This Toyota is sporting a manual transmission. Roll racing will commence at 60 mph. The all-motor Chevrolet Camaro LT1 would have to be considered as the underdog in this contest.
