The Street Racing Channel crew (including the Old Man’s Garage and Gen 2 Garage) are hitting the road for some drag-and-drive action. Eldest son, Billy (BillyTH3KID) is piloting a friend’s twin turbo GMC Sierra work truck. That’s a regular cab with a short bed. The truck has been upgraded with a pair of turbochargers. Number two son, Tommy (Tommy2Guns) is back in the 1964 Ford Falcon for this private test and tune session. The old Ford has the rear wing removed, a gear change in the rear end and it is running smaller tires this season. The Old Man also Read More
Imagine that you are out tooling around the countryside (in your favorite hot rod) on a sunny spring afternoon. You roll up on a rusty 1971 Chevrolet C10 and notice that he has loud exhaust. Before you can say, let’s race, this old farm truck stomps the gas and leaves you sitting in a puddle of your own shaving cream. That would be Lance Smith in his 1999 Craftsman Series NASCAR Race Truck – disguised as a ’71 C10. Gotcha! Lance calls them “racerods”. He takes a raggedy old hull of a car (or truck) and sets it on a Read More
It’s on like Donkey Kong as these two modern muscle cars hook-up at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. This battle between Chevy and Ford has raged on for decades with no end in sight. Today, we get to see this historic clash personified as late model versions of each car lay it all on the line in the standing quarter-mile. That’s the C7 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 in Orange. Equipped with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8, the C7 ZR1 is arguably the best of the Corvette models. It boasts an output rating of 755hp and 715 lb.-ft. of torque. Top speed was Read More
Greetings gearheads, speed freaks and auto enthusiasts of every ilk. Allow me to introduce Robert and his labor of love. You see, Robert took over this 1965 Ford Mustang project after his beloved brother-in-law passed away. His goal was to complete the build and return the finished product to his sister in remembrance of her fallen husband. He grabbed the Mustang (in many pieces) and took it coast-to-coast from California to McQueens Hot Rod Shop in South Carolina. Robert rolled up his sleeves and helped his friends at McQueens to assemble the restomod you see here. Now, he has returned Read More
Whether it’s morning, noon or night, these street racers are revved up and ready to go. This clip delivers with a pair of modified domestic maulers that are chomping at the bit. Roll racing on the streets (of Mexico) – under the bright sunlight – is on the agenda. Slide those shades on and get ready to race! In the right lane, we have the C6 (2005-2013) Chevrolet Corvette. This domestic beauty is equipped with an LS3 6.2-liter V8 engine. The LS3 block and heads are aluminum. The crankshaft is nodular iron, the pistons are aluminum, and the connecting rods Read More
Tonight, we have an unlikely roll out between a Honda and a Corvette. These two cars are about as different as daylight and dark. The Chevy is bone stock and the Honda has been modified in a serious manner. Buckle-up, this is gonna be a wild one. The rear-wheel drive (convertible) Honda S2000 came from the factory with a naturally aspirated 2.2-liter 4-cylinder engine and a close ratio manual transmission. A fun sports car, the S2000 was nothing to write home about when it came to performance. This guy yanked the factory motor and installed a stock single cam F22 Read More
It don’t get no better than this! It’s a battle between the best of American muscle and a prototypical exotic supercar – in a classic quarter-mile drag race. We join our own Brooks Weisblat promoting the feature attraction that pits a 1,000hp McLaren 750S against Racer X in his 1,025hp Dodge Demon 170. The rear-wheel drive Dodge Demon 170 is simply the best of the domestic market production performance cars. Equipped with a supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI engine, the Demon can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 1.6-seconds and turn the standing quarter-mile in 9.1-seonds @ 147 mph. The heavy Read More
Who would ever dream of drag racing in the middle of a frozen lake? Much less holding a drag racing event on the same slippery surface? Well, the gearheads in Merril, Wisconsin have been getting down like this for more than 70-years with no end in sight. Shall we tag along with the 1320 crew as they check out some of the cool competitors? First up is a familiar combo. Competing in the Outlaw and Open-Door Slammer Classes, this pre-war Ford has been upgraded with a twin turbocharged LS motor. It’s capable of making 960whp 1,005 lb.-ft. of toque – Read More
