How could you get more “This vs That” than this matchup between a heavyweight SUV and a tiny 1993 Mazda RX-7 Roadster? Similarities begin and end with their all-wheel drive propulsion systems. Nevertheless, they are about to line up and compete in a series of 1,000-foot standing drag races. Prepare for neck-snapping action from sunny California. The RX-7 featured in this video is a decades-long labor of love for Rob Dahm, a man with a penchant for fast cars. Obviously, it has a custom widebody kit. It looks amazing. Underneath is a mostly custom chassis and suspension with components from Read More

We are taking it back to the track for Day 2 of TX2K23. Overcast days can be a blessing and a curse. While these elite roll racing competitors are faced with dodging rain showers, the cooler ambient temperatures could result in record fast passes.

The racing begins with the 3,500hp Nissan GT-R of T1 going against a 3,300hp Lamborghini Huracan. Both cars are twin turbocharged monsters with upgraded Read More

This short clip documents pretty Emelia Hartford taking delivery of a very rare and brand-new Ferrari. Of course – as the car is unloaded – a snowstorm hits sunny California and gums up the works. Not to be outdone by weather, Emelia climbs behind the wheel and puts this $400k Italian supercar through its paces anyway. Keep in mind that there are only three of these cars in the U.S. A hybrid powerhouse, the Ferrari 296 GTB is powered by a 2.9-liter, 120-degree, twin turbocharged V6 engine capable of producing 654hp. Add to that figure, a lithium-ion powered electric motor Read More

One car looks like it was just hauled out of the junkyard, the other looks like it came from the showroom. Both cars are rear-wheel drive and both owners claim 700hp. Only one can be the winner and droves of drag racing fans have been awaiting the result. So, let’s get to it. The Chevrolet (F-Body) Camaro has a 6.0-liter V8 truck motor with enough nitrous to float a barge. There are twin 200hp kits plus a fogger. That’s a lot of go-go juice. While the car owner is shifty with the details, he admits that the engine has been Read More

Things are heating up on the Streets (of Mexico), tonight. That’s what happens when Big Frank shows up with his Go Pro gear. It’s import versus domestic on these streets tonight and it should be a really close race. Boogedy-boogedy. In the right lane is a monster of a C6 Corvette Z06. Is that a turbo down low? Regardless, the Chevy has performance cylinder heads, an aftermarket bump-stick (camshaft), numerous bolt-ons and weight a reduction treatment. It’s a manual transmission. This car sounds like a million dollars. The left lane is home to a BMW M3 sedan with a turbo Read More

Hold on a minute. Surely a bulky, luxury BMW SUV cannot keep up with a frisky Camaro SS. Not on the street. No way. Right? This ain’t your ordinary SUV. The 2018 BMW X6 M is an all-wheel drive street freak with a 567hp hunk of twin turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 between the fenders. It is capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 4-seconds. She is a heavy girl at 6,505-pounds, but she can turn the standing quarter-mile in 12.4-seconds @ 103 mph. The BMW featured in this clip has performance exhaust downpipes and it has been tuned to Read More

Welcome racing fans to the Arizona Motorsports Park. Today, we will be treated to a track battle between a trio of the most notable naturally aspirated sports cars ever produced. The showstopper (of course) is the newly redesigned C8 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. What has been called America’s greatest sports car will be compared with a 2009 Ferrari 458 prior to a heads-up battle with a Porsche GT3. Are you ready for this? As for Chevy’s latest, there’s no electric assistance, no supercharger, no hybrid help and no turbos either. However, there is an entirely new engine, the LT6 5.5-liter dry Read More

It makes 470hp from the factory and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 4.8-seconds. The 4,160-pound sedan can turn the quarter-mile in 13.2-seconds @ Read More
