This twin turbo Velocity Ford F-150 is a must-see machine. You’d better look fast because this clip features high-powered roll racing from the streets (of Mexico). After some spirited negotiating, it has been determined that the twin turbo Ford will be racing a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 with the camshaft and heads upgraded as well as a Kong ported blower. They’ll be running for $1,000 cash (monopoly money). As these two cruisers pull onto the interstate, traffic seems to part like the Red Sea. The two vehicles pull alongside and come up to speed. Suddenly, both machines explode in fits of Read More
This one is for the canyon carvers and autocross aficionados among us. Hailing from the West Coast, Derek Whitacre is with Shawn (from AutotopiaLA) to give us the rundown on his 1982 Porsche 911SC. Beginning with a bone stock Porsche 911SC in pristine condition, Derek commenced to work his brand of magic. First, he scrapped the stock drivetrain and installed a built 3.2-liter stroker motor with a giant Garrett turbocharger and a massive intercooler. This move took the maximum output from 185hp to 500hp (at the crankshaft). That translates to approximately 420hp to the rear wheels. For a car that Read More
This video is loaded with multiple camera angles and premium audio effects. You will almost smell the gasoline and rubber as they permeate the atmosphere. Put your ear buds in and let’s get to it. In the right lane is the Ford Mustang GT. From the factory, this pony car featured a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 engine rated at 460hp and 420 lb.-ft. of torque. The rear-wheel drive Mustang GT was equipped with a 10-speed 10R80 automatic transmission. The stock Mustang GT could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.9-seconds and turn the standing quarter-mile in 12.7-seconds @ 112 Read More
If your Cowboy Cadillac just ain’t cutting the muster (performance wise), this clip is for you. The crew at Stangkilr Productions is all set to give us the 4-1-1 on how to build a quick pickup without springing for a supercharger or turbocharger setup. Here’s a brief history of the build as well as the latest upgrades. After a fire wiped out their (5.3-liter) twin turbo GMC pickup, these guys made the decision to go in a different direction. They chose a base model 2024 GMC Sierra as a donor to repair their totaled project truck. The cab was bolted Read More
Here, kitty, kitty, kitty. This ain’t your old house cat. It’ll be a lot harder to catch. This is the Big Cat giveaway car from Street Speed 717 and it’s more than a handful of neck-snapping goodness. Check it out. The 2024 Dodge Challenger Hellcat comes from the factory with a supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8 capable of churning out some serious power. In stock condition, the Hellcat could produce 797hp and 707 lb.-ft. of torque. Equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission, the Challenger Hellcat could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.6-seconds despite a curb weight of 4,514-pounds. Blasting Read More
What do we have here? Looks like a supercar slugfest between a hybrid Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray and a gas guzzling McLaren 600LT. That’s Long Tail, gearheads. Promoting this U-drag contest is none other than DragTimes own Brooks Weisblat. While the rear-wheel drive McLaren 600LT tips the scale at 3,300 pounds, the all-wheel drive Corvette E-Ray has a GVW of 4,100 pounds. The weight differential will likely help to offset the extra 93hp delivered by the hybrid Chevy. The McLaren 600LT utilizes a twin turbocharged 3.8-liter V8 to produce 562hp. GM opted for the combination of a naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 Read More
Y’all know the Street Racing Channel (SRC) crew, right? Well, they have trailered three of their most popular vehicles down to Grand Prairie, Texas for the Jimmy Dale Small Tire Gangsta’ Shootout at the iconic Yello Belly Dragstrip (a.k.a. The Gut). Yello Belly is one of the most unique dragstrips in the country. With covered parking from the starting line to the finish line, The Gut delivers an atmosphere of pure pandemonium on every pass. You might not recognize him with the cowboy hat, but that’s Billy in the red and black 1955 Chevy. He’s running in the Quick Street Read More
My favorite street ride is anything compact with a big V8 motor. This Toyota Mini Pickup build fits the bill. At a curb weight of only 2,400 pounds, the Toyota pickup is a perfect vessel for a rowdy V8 swap. Up front, the suspension is from Stabfab. The Stabfab coilover conversion kit features tubular control arms. The rear is a four-link setup enhanced with a set of bootleg CalTrac bars to reduce wheel hop. QA1 21-way adjustable shocks adorn all four corners. There’s also a beefy anti-sway bar from a Toyota Motor Home in the rear. The brakes are a Read More
