1967 Chevrolet Camaro Restomod – LT5 Swapped Asphalt Eater

December 6th, 2024

The old saying goes, “It ain’t how you look, it’s what you got under the hood.” This saying particularly applies to gearheads who don’t have time for paint and body work. They just want their ride to go fast. This 1967 Camaro, owned by Jacob Hopper, is one such vehicle. Under the hood is an engine that many believe to be the king of the Chevy powerplants. The 7.0-liter all-aluminum (block and heads) LT5 is a supercharged gem that could churn out 755hp and 715 lb.-ft. of torque in factory condition. You might have seen one in a 2019 version Read More

USA vs. Japan – 50 to 150 MPH Street Hits

December 5th, 2024

Yon know the score. We have a couple of heavy hitters on the streets (of Mexico), tonight. There has been a fair amount of posturing and yakking about who hit jack. Now, it’s time to put your money where your mouth is – it’s time for the rubber to hit the road. It’s the USA versus Japan as a blown Camaro goes against a GT-R with a set of upgraded turbos. The all-wheel drive GT-R is top of the heap for the Nissan lineup. He’s running a twin turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 that can make approximately 600hp in stock trim. The Read More

All Motor Corvette vs. Whipple Camaro SS – Street Hits

December 3rd, 2024

Tonight, we are looking at a contest between a naturally aspirated Corvette and a supercharged Camaro. One might assume that the blown car has the advantage here. Normally that would be an accurate assumption. Shall we have a closer look at the machines? Beginning with the Corvette. Is that a ProCharger snout in the front? It certainly is a snout, but further inspection reveals no supercharger. Only an over the radiator air intake. Still, there’s plenty of space for a ProCharger and an intercooler (later). This C6 has been modified with a GM Performance LS3 crate motor. That’s a 6.2-liter Read More

New King of Nürburgring – Manthey Porsche 911 GT3 RS

The first impression of the Manthey Porsche 911 GT3 RS is the accumulation of aerodynamic Read More

Major League Street Hits – Audi R8 vs. Nissan GT-R

November 26th, 2024

Referring to either of these cars as kinda fast would be like saying that a pig is somewhat pork. Both these cars are built with the sole purpose of making huge horsepower and developing tremendous amounts of speed. Tonight, they will meet on the street (in Mexico). On the right is the flagship of the Nissan lineup. The GT-R is a front engine all-wheel drive high-performance coupe. Under the hood is a twin turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 engine. In its current condition, this Nissan exceeds factory specifications by more than quadruple the horsepower. The engine has been professionally built with premium Read More
