The sun is shining bright, and the pavement is hot as these two competitors cruise onto the interstate in Old Mexico for some roll racing. Word is that a bit of smack talk has resulted in bad blood between these two gearheads. No need for fisticuffs, here. These two will take it out in RPMs. Representing the U.S.A. – in the right lane – is the Chevrolet Camaro LT1. Equipped with a naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 engine, the LT1 version of the Camaro was rated at 450hp and 450 lb.-ft. of torque in stock condition. Shifting is handled by a Read More
Although funny man Kevin Hart is one of America’s most popular stand-up comedians (not to mention a superstar of the big screen), he often remarks about his small stature. When Kevin climbs behind the wheel of Darkness (his 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS), he’s ten feet tall. Built by Timeless Kustoms, Darkness is a street monster. Under the hood is a supercharged 7.4-liter Chevy LSX V8. The massive mill is lubricated with a wet sump system and topped with an LS9 2.3-liter supercharger (currently running 7-pounds of boost). Darkness has 3-inch exhaust with Borla mufflers. The combination is rated at 750hp Read More
U-Drag racing offers a unique vantage point that combines drag racing with road racing. It is an excellent measure of just how well a vehicle accelerates, brakes and handles in a corner. Competitors line up and start much like a drag race. Once they have accelerated through the quarter-mile mark, drivers must hit the brake and slow the vehicle in order to navigate a single hairpin turn. Having successfully maneuvered through the turn, the driver must accelerate back to the original starting line. First one to cross the start/end line is the victor. Simple, right? Today’s race will be between Read More
We race the Tesla Model S Track Pack vs the Ferrari SF90 from 0-190 MPH down an airstrip.
Unplugged Performance (UP) is taking the Tesla Model S Plaid to the next level. This video takes a look at an UP Tesla Model S-Apex Plaid build customized for media giant Joe Rogan. Needless to say, this car exhibits all the standard features of the S-Apex platform and adds a few custom touches. The first thing to grab you is the 19-piece carbon fiber widebody kit that increases the width of the Tesla by 80-millimeters. Up front, integrated dry carbon fiber brake ducts allow cool air to flow across the front rotors for improved stopping under any driving situation. Koenigsegg Read More
Greetings gearheads, racing fans and speed freaks from every walk of life. Welcome to the mean streets of Mexico for some jaw-dropping roll racing shenanigans. Tonight, we have a souped-up Chevrolet Camaro going against a maniacally modified Ford F-150 pickup. The Gen 6 Camaro LT1 is a rear-wheel drive coupe powered by a naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 engine. In stock condition, this mid-level Camaro model could churn out 455hp and 455 lb.-ft. of torque. The transmission is a 10-speed automatic. Featured in this video is a Camaro that has been altered for performance. The bottom end of the engine remains Read More
With 154 white knuckle turns and more than 1,000-feet in elevation change (from the lowest to highest points), the asphalt and concrete Nürburgring racecourse has been the premier proving ground for performance automobiles as long as anyone can remember. Dubbed The Green Hell by famed race driver Jackie Stewart, this 12.944-mile track can either make or break car and driver. In this clip we join Top Gear‘s Jethro Bovington and Ford’s Todd Valentine as they introduce us to the first American car to conquer the Green Hell in less than 7-minutes. Enjoy the ride. Unbelievably, the car in question is Read More
Here’s a rather unusual matchup; in that both cars are equipped with manual transmissions. Also, the Nissan Z Performance is modified with some parts from the hotter Nismo Z model. Without further ado, let’s see what happens when a 2024 Nissan Z Performance takes the track against a 2021 Ford Mustang Mach 1. The Gen VI Ford Mustang Mach 1 is equipped with a naturally aspirated high-performance 5.0-liter V8 mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox (Tremec). In stock trim, the Mach 1 could muster 480hp and 420 lb.-ft. of torque at peak RPM. The rear-wheel drive Mach 1 could sail Read More
