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

It has been said that horsepower is king. While that may be true on the dragstrip, on the street traction is definitely king. Where traction is concerned, you just can’t do better than all-wheel drive. Well, hers’s a truck that has is all – traction and big power. This is a 2020 Ford F-150 AWD Standard Cab Short Bed with a 5.0-liter V8 engine and a 10-speed automatic transmission. The engine remains stock except for the Whipple supercharger. The transmission has been bult to withstand the extra horsepower and the truck is tuned. Running slicks on all-four corners, this Cowboy Read More

Typical nightlife – slightly south of the Texas border – involves high spirited street racing. Knuckle busting ruffians have gathered in mass to showcase their machines purpose-built for roll racing. Take a gander for yourselves. The action opens up with a pair of Corvette Z06 entries duking it out. Both are equipped with Magnuson 2650 superchargers. One has a manual transmission. The other has an automatic. This one seems to go back and forth in multiple hits. Whatever the outcome – these are some beautiful cars. Next up, the Z06 camera car (Magnuson swapped C7 Corvette Z06) takes on a Read More

Lauded as the fastest 1969 Chevrolet Camaro in the World, the Big Red Camaro is more than a muscle car – it’s a rolling legend. This video documents record breaking events as they unfold during the Mojave Magnum at the Willow Springs Raceway. This is a 1.5-mile course that demands the absolute best from driver and machine. For the Gottlieb family, the Big Red Camaro is a labor of love spanning more than three decades. Utilizing powertrain and suspension changes, Big Red transforms from street car to drag racer to world speed record setter on a regular basis. In an Read More

Here’s a match between a pair of drastically modified street cruisers. This grudge race pits Chevy against Ford – as it has been for decades. Representing the bowtie brigade is the Chevrolet Corvette Z06. With a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 raging underneath the hood, the Z06 version of the Corvette can produce 650hp in stock condition. However, this ‘Vette is far from stock. The engine has been upgraded with a high-performance camshaft, full bolt-ons and it is tuned to burn E85 fuel. The supercharger is also ported and there’s a 150hp kit of nitrous on this baby. The car looks menacing Read More

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

It’s on like Donkey-Kong tonight as a pair of brand-loyal street racers prepare to duke it out on the highway. These machines are modified for performance and filled with ethanol-based fuel. These cars are the cream-of-the-crop when it comes to roll racing on the streets – of Mexico. The widebody Dodge Charger Hellcat is possibly the most capable sedan ever produced. In factory condition it features a supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8 that can produce nearly 800hp (on race gas). The Charger seen in this video has been modified with an aftermarket supercharger pulley to increase boost. It has also been Read More

What’s better than a tiny import coupe with a domestic V8? Well, you could add a supercharger. If that isn’t enough, you could trick the body out with a custom widebody kit. When all the nuts are tight and the bolts are torqued, you might have a street stallion like the one that Juan built. Let’s get a closer look. Under the hood is a 5.3-liter LS motor from a 2001 Chevrolet Camaro. It has been fortified with a forged crankshaft, a BTR camshaft, Keith Black pistons and ARP fasteners throughout. This small block V8 can handle up to 1,800hp. Read More

It’s that time of year again. Sick Week 2024 is upon us and it’s happening in the Sunshine State. The best No Prep cars (trucks, etc.) are gathered in Florida to begin a series of drag racing events tied together by a 1,000-mile cruise. Sick Week is a grueling challenge. It’s hard on the machinery and brutal in the knuckles, but lifelong friendships will be formed. Let’s go to the track for some last minute test runs. Right out of the gate, there’s an ‘80s Pontiac Le Mans Wagon doing burnouts. This grocery getter has a massive 540 cubic-inch big Read More

Believe me when I say that this 2020 Toyota Supra is the real deal. During a night of street racing (in Mexico), this thing blew the doors off everybody. Let’s get a closer look at what makes this Supra so bad. A rear-wheel drive roadster, the MKV Supra is powered by a turbocharged (and intercooled) inline 6-cylinder 3.0-liter engine. Mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission, the stock engine is conservatively rated at 335hp. Everything underneath the sheet metal is branded BMW. In factory condition, the Supra can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.8-seconds and turn the standing quarter-mile Read More
