Summer’s here and the time is right for racing in these streets – of Mexico! The backdrop is a four-lane divided highway. Traffic is light. Tonight’s action kicks-off with multiple hits between a twin turbo Cadillac CTS-V and a Whipple supercharged Ford Mustang GT. The Caddy has been upgraded with an engine swap and a twin turbo setup. Digging hard under the hood is a 7.0-liter LSX motor. That’s an all-aluminum (block and heads) V8 with a dry sump lubrication setup. The turbochargers are Precision 6266 with a fat intercooler and all the bells and whistles. The Mustang is outfitted Read More

This video takes us on a journey (of sorts) as the Late Model Performance (LMP) crew perform a minor modification on a 2023 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing sedan. Specialists from LMP will put the Cadillac on the dyno to get a baseline performance reading before installing a Kong ported supercharger. Afterwards, they will do a second dyno pass and measure the gains. It’s gonna be educational. The rear-wheel drive 2023 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is powered by a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine rated at 668hp and 679 lb.-ft. of torque. In stock condition, the Blackwing can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph Read More

Believe it or not, the Cadillac sport sedan line just got an upgrade. Even more powerful than the Cadillac CT5-V luxury sport sedan is the Blackwing version. The Blackwing takes away the cumbersome all-wheel drive platform and replaces it with a fun and nimble rear-wheel drive variant. This bad girl will get sideways at the drop of a hat. The dry-sump motor and supercharger are also improved, but we’ll open that can of worms a little later. The exterior is basically the same with a few subtle differences in the front air dam and rear splitter. The factory paint is Read More

This video documents a street (roll) race between an iconic muscle car (the Mustang) and a luxury performance sedan (Caddy). Both these cars are manufactured towards performance, and both have been modified with aftermarket performance components. These two competitors have been waiting a long time – and talking loads of trash – so, let’s see what happens when the rubber meets the road. The Cadillac CTS-V is a beast with its supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine and manual transmission. From the factory, it can make 640hp and accelerate from 0 to 60 mph on 3.6-seconds. This car has been modified with Read More

The venue is the Kansas Airstrip Attack, a half-mile closed course airstrip designed to measure top speed in performance vehicles. Having that said, what is this station wagon doing on the course? Well, it’s not your granny’s station wagon. This bad Caddy is loaded with a big V8 engine and – get this – a manual 6-speed transmission. It also posts a (personal best) top speed of 200.26 MPH! Have a look. Under the hood is the factory 6.2-liter engine built by Horsepower Solutions of Newport News, Virginia, who also did all the turbo work. The engine bay is sans Read More

Greetings street racing fans and speed freaks of every ilk. Welcome to Mexico for a dose of daylight street racing on the interstate. Most street racing is relegated to cover of darkness, but these competitors are getting it on under the bright sunshine south of the border. Climb in, buckle-up and hang on to your hats. Roll racing is the order of the day. The first race of the day is between a 2019 Mustang 5.0 and an F-150 Pickup. The Mustang has a stock motor with a 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger (pulley upgrade) and a custom Fore Innovations fuel system. Read More

Taking it to the streets! These guys are south of the border and letting it all hang out. Superchargers, turbochargers, nitrous and naturally aspirated machines roll out and drop the hammer to out drive and out accelerate the other guy (or girl). Take a look. First up is a Corvette with a built engine and a YSi supercharger. There’s a 5.0-liter Mustang with a Vortech supercharger and a manual transmission. Don’t forget the Mustang GT with the Paxton blower. The cameraman climbs in the Red Corvette with the YSi and rides along as he jumps on a C5 ‘Vette ZR1. Read More

This is how we do it on the streets! Of Mexico no doubt. This clip brings us a look inside the world of top-shelf roll racing. It features some of the baddest machines and hungriest competitors as they roll out onto a (nearly) deserted strip of interstate to see who wants it more. Without further ado, let’s get down to where the rubber meets the road. The first car that we encounter is a modified (black) Corvette. It has a Vortech YSi supercharger and can make 900hp. Next, there’s a twin turbocharged Camaro running 20-pounds of boost. Then there’s a Read More

Joey and the crew at Race Proven Motorsports (RPM) have built a Cadillac that kills on the street and strip. Despite being modified with some of the best performance goodies available, this video takes us through the process of a supercharger upgrade. This 2011 Cadillac CTS-V will be shedding the factory blower for a brand-new Kong 2650 blower. There is a lot to love about this product. Let’s take a look. This cruiser already has a Texas Speed and Performance 416 cubic-inch engine with a set of LS9 cylinder heads by Advanced Induction. The camshaft is an RPM custom grind. Read More

This clip takes us south of the border for some hotly contested roll racing hits on the interstate. Without further ado, let’s have a gander at the competitors. Multiple camera angles make the cheese mo’ binding. Camera Car 1 is an R35 Nissan GT-R with a Garrett 3582 (62-millimeter) turbocharger. It is capable of making 1,250hp. Camera Car 2 is a thumping Cadillac CTS-V3 that has been modified with a camshaft upgrade, cylinder heads and a Whipple supercharger upgrade. It also has a 200hp shot of nitrous. It can churn out 1,200hp. Camera Car 3 is a McLaren (1,300+hp) with Read More
