Getting back to the streets (of Mexico), we encounter a raucous band of roll racers making ready to rumble. Here we have an eclectic mix of import and domestic vehicles fueled-up and tuned for the throwdown. Enjoy the action. The first contest of the evening is between a pair of modified street stallions. In the right lane is the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. That blue and silver badge is unmistakable. The ZR1 moniker represents pure performance. This C6 version features an implanted 7.0-liter LS V8 with upgraded cylinder heads and a high-performance thump stick (camshaft). The ported blower is a Magnuson Read More
Attention gearheads; let me introduce you to Specialty Vehicle Engineering (SVE). These guys have been building specialty vehicles for GM for more than thirty-years. As the leading supplier of GM specialty vehicles, SVE has produced more than 65,000 cars, trucks and SUVs. They are in production on the current generation of Yenko supercars. That’s what we are here to talk about, today. Specifically, the 2024 Chevrolet Yenko/SC Camaro Stage III. Offered in three distinctive packages (Stage I, Stage II or Stage III), the Yenko/SC is based off the Camaro SS 1LE format. In addition to the powerful supercharged engine, the Read More
When a “pop-up” street race rears its head on an early summer night, the crew at Street Racing Channel are thrown into action. In full disclosure, the SRC has never turned down a street race, but it’s been a minute since these guys had a chance to show out on the blacktop. Billy TH3 KID is on hand in his square body Chevy S-10 pickup. This thing is a rocket with a twin turbo small block (and nitrous). It’s making some serious power for the street. Billy draws a late model S-10 in the first round. With the Old Man Read More
Our camera car is a 900hp White Mustang twin turbo tank. He will be taking on an all-wheel drive Honda Civic Hatchback running a K20 4-cylinder mill and a 67 mm turbo; claiming 700hp in the first race of the video. In multiple hits, the Mustang dominates. Next up for the white Mustang is a Cadillac CTS-V sedan with an upgraded camshaft, exhaust headers and an E85 tune. He is sitting on 700hp. This Ford jumps on this Caddy like a tick on a June-bug. Mustang FTW. For our third race, the White pony car will roll out against a Read More
Our man Shawn (Autotopia LA) is cruising across the Mid-west in search if the baddest builds in the nation. He stopped in to visit his longtime friends at Ringbrothers Cars and met Enyo. Custom fabricated from a 1948 Chevrolet Loadmaster 2-ton truck, Enyo is the rolling vision of farm truck meets F1 race car – truly a spectacular build. Enyo is a custom chassis. What is left of the original body has been chopped, contorted and retrofitted into the shape you see today. The new parts are made primarily of carbon-fiber and aluminum. One can’t help but notice the horizontal Read More
We’ve got more street racing from south of the border this evening as a modified Cadillac takes on all comers. Giving off a gunslinger vibe, the Caddy is low and mean. Cloaked in black with an exhaust note that resonates like thunder, this sedan is ready for roll racing action. Under the hood of the CTS-V is a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine prepped to yield 650hp in factory condition. Not satisfied with the stock arrangement of his Cadillac, this racer made some modifications. Upgrades include a full accoutrement of aftermarket bolt-ons, a performance thump stick (camshaft) and an E85 tune. Read More
These summer nights are heating up and that means it’s street racing season in the Dirty South (Mexico). These racers are in it to win it with their elite machines and their production hot rods are modified to push the envelope when it comes to speed and acceleration in roll racing action. Don’t knock it if you haven’t tried it. It’s pure exhilaration. We have a 2022 Porsche 911 Turbo S running in the right lane. This is a rear-engine, all-wheel drive coupe equipped with a twin turbocharged flat 6 engine and an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The 911 Turbo Read More
You heard it right; this is a 3-way drag race between a trio of cars from the European market. These factory hot rods include the newly redesigned Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 63 with its twin turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine mated to a 9-speed automatic gearbox. The most economical of these three competitors, the all-wheel drive GT63 can muster up 585hp and accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.6-seconds. This unabashedly German machine can also turn the quarter-mile in 10.7-seconds @ 129 mph. Giddy-up! In the middle lane is the mid-engine rear-wheel drive Audi R8 GT. Powered by a naturally aspirated Read More
