Shawn (Autotopia LA) has found yet another smoke machine on the left coast. Arizona truck owner Rob inherited the Sierra Classic (C10) from his grandfather. As a one-owner truck, the old GMC was straight, but bone stock. Rob decided to leave the truck with Tre5 Customs and let them work their magic. The rest – as they say – is hot rod history. You won’t find any fancy paint or graphics in this build but it rides on a full GSI chassis. The wheels are a 5-spoke design (22×8.5-front, 24×15-rear) and the brakes are from Baer. The hydraulic over electric Read More

If this ride catches your eye a little funny, you can thank Steve Strope of Pure Vision Design. You see, he designed the exterior from at least three GM muscle car models. The subtle details of this build will astonish you. Listen closely. Under the hood is a supercharged 6.2-liter LT4 V8 capable of producing 650hp and 650 lb.-ft. of torque right out of the crate. It is mated to a 6-speed Tremec manual transmission. Both the front and rear subframes are from Art Morrison. They include late model Corvette components. Believe it or not – the steering is manual.

Autotopia LA delivered again with this comparison of two radically modified Fords. Neither of these two sleds are anything like old granddad’s tractor. These are sophisticated cars with full racing capabilities. Let’s join Shawn for a closer look. Built by Superformance Hillbanks, these two cars are both Mach 1 Ford GT40s. There are many similarities, and just as many differences. The Future40 features vintage styling combined with modern concepts. Most notable is the twin turbocharged 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine. With a redline of 6,500 RPM, this reincarnation of the Mach 1 GT40 is good for more than 600whp. Between 4,500 Read More

Which one is best? When you need to wring every bit of power from your hot rod, which fuel is up to the chore? More to the point – what brand of E85 makes the most power in engines capable of producing more than 500hp? The test vehicle for today’s Carolina Performance dyno session is none other than the G-Body belonging to the Old Man’s Garage. Called Cracker Barrel (CRKABRL), this Malibu has been upgraded with a brand new Chevy 400 small block. It is running a stock bottom end with a set of Trick Flow cylinder heads. Don’t look Read More

This short clip gives us an opportunity to sit down with Midwest Street Cars’ Big Chief.

The engine is a stock 6.2-liter Read More

Here we have a sixteen-year labor of love. It is artfully displayed in the form of Justin’s 2002 Chevrolet Camaro SS. After purchasing the car from a used car lot, Justin began the transformation that has taken this car from less than stock to the 1200hp beast you see today. As a dual-purpose vehicle, this Camaro can dominate on street or strip. It all begins under the hood with an all-aluminum 6.0-liter LSx V8 engine. Premium internals include boost pistons and Eagle connecting rods. The crankshaft is stock, and the cylinder heads are ported Wilkes 862s. Brian Tooley Racing is Read More

What would possess an individual to try and make an autocross vehicle starting with a 1970s era C5 Chevrolet Blazer? If you consider the dual nature of the C5 moniker, as it pertains to this project, the riddle becomes a bit clearer. You see, this build begins with a C5 Corvette chassis. The K5 Blazer body was cut and modified to fit the sports car frame. The fenders were also stretched and widened to accommodate the massive (19X12 on both ends) tire/wheel combination. Speaking of wheels; they are Toploader from Billet Specialties wrapped in 315/30R19 tires. The hood is carbon Read More
