These are the ten best street (roll racing) hits of the past year. Even if you despise compilation videos, you’ll appreciate this short clip of the greatest interstate battles of 2022. Buckle-up. First on the card is a contest between a Corvette ZR1 (7.0-liter engine with performance cylinder heads and camshaft) versus a stock McLaren 720S. This is a close contest that has the McLaren jumping out to an early lead. The Corvette catches up in second gear and overtakes the expensive import in third. Vette for the win. Next up is a three-way clash between a twin turbo Lamborghini Read More

Tonight, we have an epic collection of purpose-built roll racers gathered to throw down on the streets (of Mexico). Imports, Domestics, supercharged, turbocharged (single and twins), nitrous, naturally aspirated and even full-electric – they are all here and ready to do battle in what will be a roll racing extravaganza for the ages. Are you ready? Out of the gate, we have a boosted Honda Civic taking on a C6 Corvette. Once the Honda gets spooled up, he pulls ahead and never looks back. Honda takes the win in a close race. Next up is a contest between a ProCharged Read More

The name James Kempf is synonymous with front-wheel drive stick shift Honda speed. This time he knocked it out of the park, at the Import vs Domestic World Cup Finals 2022, when he crushed the World Record for a Honda (manual trans with an H-pattern shifter) in the quarter-mile. He reeled off an elapsed time of 6.91-seconds @ 198 mph. By any standard, that is really picking them up and putting them down. James can tell you about the car. Believe it or not, the engine is a four-cylinder 2.0 V-Series. Of course, it is built and sleeved. The turbocharger Read More

These are two very scary pieces of machinery. There are two phrases that warn of impending doom for the competition. They are English Racing and Extreme Turbo Systems (ETS). This Acura is closely associated with both. T1 Race Development are no slouches either. They built the Nissan GT-R. Needless to say, we are in for quite a drag race today. The 1994 Acura Integra GSR is outfitted with a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and a 4-speed manual (PPG with a billet bell housing) gearbox. It has been modified with an all-wheel drivetrain from a variety of Honda SUVs. The motor is Read More

Greetings drag racing fans. This one has a bit of everything! Front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, turbo and naturally aspirated. What the front-wheel drive Acura Integra lacks in cubic inches, he more than makes up in forced air induction. This guy is running a Darton sleeved four-cylinder B-series motor with a B16 cylinder head. The turbocharger is a Garrett 72-millimeter capable of swallowing up livestock. The last time that the car was on the dyno it made more than 1,100whp. The transmission is a sequentially shifted dog box with a billet bell housing. The front end is a drag race 3-piece Read More

It has been said that there is no substitute for cubic inches. That is an opinion likely shared before the days of massive power adders, slab-style intercoolers and sophisticated nitrous foggers. In the modern world – depending on type of race and distance raced – a small motor with forced air induction can dominate on street or strip. Consistent winners combine big cubic inch motors with extravagant power adders to annihilate the competition. This clip brings us a battle between a big V8 powered Camaro muscle car and a late model turbo Honda. The wildcard here may be the fact Read More

Things are about to heat up on the streets of Mexico. Cars from a variety of continents are ready to throwdown in head-to-head roll and dig racing action. Buckle-up, grab ahold and prepare to have some fun! First up is a clash between the “Smurf” BMW M5 and a 630hp Camaro ZL1 (silver). The Beemer has been upgraded with a performance downpipe and a DME E30 tune. Smurf is claiming 700hp. Should be a good race. Not so much. The Camaro misses a shift coming off the jump and the BMW walks away. Next, Smurf is taking on another Camaro. Read More

Here’s a humdinger of a production model street battle. These guys are taking it to the interstate (down in Mexico) for some serious roll racing action. The first two competitors out of the gate will be representing the United States and Italy. It’s a Corvette against a Ferrari. The supercharged Chevrolet C6 Corvette ZR1 can generate 650hp and 650 lb.-ft. of torque. On the other hand, the turbocharged Ferrari 488 GTB is capable of producing 661ho and 561 lb.-ft. of torque. Both cars are rear-wheel drive. The Corvette weighs a nimble 3,131-pounds and the 488 tips the scale at a Read More

This will be a battle between Japanese and European power. The Acura NSX is the best that Honda has to offer, while the BMW M4 is a mid-tier model for the Bavarian automaker. Let’s get a closer look. The 2017 Acura NSX is an all-wheel drive hybrid vehicle that utilizes a twin turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 and a trio of electric motors. This combination can produce the equivalent of 575hp and 475 lb.-ft. of torque (in stock condition). The NSX has a 9-speed DCT transmission. Road & Track says that the NSX can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.0-seconds Read More

Taking it back to the street – these good ol’ boys (and girls) are getting down on the interstate (in Mexico) – bakery style. There’s roll racing on the agenda for this evening and the competitors are serious about their horsepower. Pin back your ears and hold on tight ‘cause it’s about to get real. Right outta’ the gate, we have a Pontiac G8 sedan with bolt-ons and a kit of nitrous. He’s taking on a Chevy Camaro SS with an all-aluminum 7.0-liter engine. These two competitors go at it hot and heavy for multiple hits. The action is relatively Read More
