One-of-a-Kind Viper V10 Swapped Honda S2000

March 7th, 2025

You gotta love when a long-term build comes together this sweet. Especially when it combines a tiny import roadster with a massive domestic powerplant. The project is 10-years in the making and it just don’t get no better than this. At first glance, you’re probably wondering, “what the heck is that?”. The sheetmetal is mostly a Honda S2000. The majority of the widebody components are custom tailored aftermarket parts skillfully modified by the professionals at Industry Garage. Front and rear chassis modules are custom fabricated. Steering is a close ratio manual rack-and-pinion from a Mustang. Total weight is 3,201-pounds with Read More

Edmunds U-Drags – Tesla Model 3 Performance vs BMW M3 CS

February 3rd, 2025

U-Drag racing offers a unique vantage point that combines drag racing with road racing. It is an excellent measure of just how well a vehicle accelerates, brakes and handles in a corner. Competitors line up and start much like a drag race. Once they have accelerated through the quarter-mile mark, drivers must hit the brake and slow the vehicle in order to navigate a single hairpin turn. Having successfully maneuvered through the turn, the driver must accelerate back to the original starting line. First one to cross the start/end line is the victor. Simple, right? Today’s race will be between Read More

All New Multimatic Ford Mustang GTD vs. The Green Hell

January 29th, 2025

With 154 white knuckle turns and more than 1,000-feet in elevation change (from the lowest to highest points), the asphalt and concrete Nürburgring racecourse has been the premier proving ground for performance automobiles as long as anyone can remember. Dubbed The Green Hell by famed race driver Jackie Stewart, this 12.944-mile track can either make or break car and driver. In this clip we join Top Gear‘s Jethro Bovington and Ford’s Todd Valentine as they introduce us to the first American car to conquer the Green Hell in less than 7-minutes. Enjoy the ride. Unbelievably, the car in question is Read More

David and Goliath – Rail Job vs. Mustang Shelby GT500

December 3rd, 2024

This race has got a giant and a giant killer. It ain’t difficult to see which one is which. Think you know who is gonna win? Everyone sold David short, too. He was too small. Too young. No experience. No expertise. How did that turn out? David took out his little stone and his faith in a big God. He popped the clutch and took that giant down. Might not happen like that today – but it could. Here’s the rundown on the equipment: The rail job is homemade. Power comes from a turbocharged (meth injected) 4-cylinder VW motor. At Read More

New King of Nürburgring – Manthey Porsche 911 GT3 RS

November 26th, 2024

Tonight, we ride along with Top Gear Magazine Associate Editor Tom Ford as he puts the screws to the latest Porsche sensation. Sure, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS is capable enough in stock trim. Question is: Can it break the seven-minute trek around Nürburgring? If the answer is no, then you might consider sending the car out to Manthey (pronounced Man-Tie) where they will hook you up with everything you need to tame the course that legendary race driver Jackie Stewart called the Green Hell. The first impression of the Manthey Porsche 911 GT3 RS is the accumulation of aerodynamic Read More

V8 Swapped 1977 Toyota Celica GT

November 6th, 2024

Here we go again. This time, we are checking out Emilee’s 1UZ swapped 1977 Toyota Celica GT. There’s nothing I appreciate more than a small, rear-wheel drive car that has been upgraded with a big V8 engine. The most common – and economical – method is to go with an LS V8 from GM. This time Emilee chose a different route. I think you will like the results. Far from the moist confines of the East Coast, Emilee located a suitable old Celica in the dry climate of Texas. In a major stroke of luck, it had already been V8 Read More

We are reconnecting with Top Gear Honcho Ollie Marriage for a look at the all-new Bentley Continental GT Speed. Ollie will climb behind the wheel of what is being called the baddest Bentley yet. He will put the car through its paces on the winding thoroughfares of the scenic Swiss Alps. So, what makes this Bentley so special? Frankly, it all begins with balance. For the first time ever, the Continental GT Speed has near perfect front-to-rear weight distribution. This dramatically improves handling and makes the car feel less clumsy in the corners. While previous models have featured heavy W12 Read More

Today, Ollie will treat us to a thorough track test of what is arguably the most innovative vehicle on earth. After that, he’ll show us how badly the McMurtry Spéirling can whoop a Porsche GT3 RS in a head-to-head drag race. Sound good? Imagine virtually unlimited downforce without drag.

September 19th, 2024

Coming in hot from the left coast is this cool custom Camaro from Timeless Kustoms.

Stopping duties are handled via a Brembo carbon-ceramic four-wheel disc brake setup with a Wilwood master cylinder. The wheels are 19-inch Read More

Garage Built LSX Swapped 1975 Datsun Fairlady 280Z

September 13th, 2024

While I can only speak for myself, it seems that one of the true joys of life (for your average gearhead) is cramming a powerful V8 motor into a small and lightweight vehicle. It ain’t always easy but it’s fun and – if it turns out right – it’s fast. Have a look at what Kevin Nault has done with this old Datsun (Nissan). It all begins and ends in Kevin’s garage; from the low and slow exhaust note to the slippery fast Atomic Orange paint. Kevin began this impressive build by removing the body from the frame for a Read More
