Greetings fellow auto enthusiasts. Meet Fast Lane Jane and her bodacious 1964 Chevrolet Corvette. Jane is so much more than a pretty face. She is a serious driver with a competitive streak as wide as the Mississippi River. Believe me when I tell you, she’s in it to win it – whatever “it” is. Jane’s Corvette has been artfully upgraded with an LS3 V8 engine block bored out to 416 cubic-inches and loaded with a SCAT forged rotating assembly (crankshaft and connecting rods). With all the bells and whistles, this naturally aspirated V8 is making 596hp and 610 lb.-ft. of Read More

This unlikely matchup (from This vs That) is a serious eye-catcher. Anytime you have a restomod drag car going against a bonafide twin turbo supercar, count me in. These two competitors are itching to get started, but first – let’s have a closer look at the cars. The Mopar is a work of art. From its creamy white paint to its rich, red interior, this thing is a classic. Under the hood is a naturally aspirated 440 big block stroked out to 512 cubic-inches. The massive mill is mated to a 727 Torqueflite 3-speed automatic transmission. The car hasn’t been Read More

By definition, a restomod is a vehicle that has everything it needs to look vintage and run better than new. With 635hp on tap, this 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 is that type of creation. Let’s join Shawn (of Autotopia), who is with the owner of this cream puff, and let him give us the low-down. Subtle changes to the exterior of this car make it a one-of-a-kind treasure. The interior is more of the same. Yards of beautiful leather with minor changes that make it totally unique. Air ride suspension on all four corners help to yield the car’s athletic Read More

Oh, it’s on like hotcakes down south! It ain’t Drag Week and it ain’t Race Week – this is Sick Week 2022. This is another drag-and-drive contest that will test the limits of man and machine as they attempt to bracket race five separate tracks in as many days. Yes! Competitors must drive between tracks; checking-in at various points along the way. Buckle-up ‘cause this thing is about to get hairy. One of the standouts in the tech line is a 1964 Triumph Spitfire. Pretty it is not, but it does have a big V8 with a massive turbo protruding Read More

With the memory of their deceased friend Mike as inspiration, this loyal group of friends and racing enthusiasts prepared this 1964 Pontiac GTO for the drag strip. After torqueing every last bolt and buckling Mike’s urn and ashes into the front seat, they set off for Tucson and the Street Car Takeover. Little did they know what a dramatic weekend of racing action was in store. The Goat was a one-owner car, purchased new by Mike’s dad. This band of compadres rebuilt the muscle car with a 428 Pontiac stroker kit (bored over to 467 cubic-inches). It has all the Read More

Here’s one awesome looking resto-mod muscle car beefed up with a pair of turbochargers and a built big block engine. It’s dyno day for this fresh build, so the boost pressure is only turned up to about 9psi but this beast still makes 933hp. With a projected boost limit of 24psi – who knows? – possibly over 2,000hp! Key modifications include a built 572-cubic-inch big block, twin Garrett 88-millimeter turbochargers, and a custom built pro-glide transmission. It is also tubbed out to house a set of M&H Racemaster 390s on the rear. The owner says that he built the car Read More
