14 Minutes of Fast Ford Lightnings

SRT10ViperTruckFordLightningDragRace-slider

Ah, the Lightning. Ford’s sport truck. I mean, we have the Tremor now, but that’s hardly what I’d call a sports truck. It can handle itself pretty well with a tune, sure, but I don’t ...

500hp Turbo TC Does a Big Fat Burnout

I think there’s a reason we don’t see that many 500 horsepower tCs running around. Mainly because that’s a crazy amount of power to put in a FWD, but also something tells me that 500 hp tC street cars just don’t last that long. Just a hunch. To be honest, I can’t be sure he’s [...]

Has This Ever Happened to You in Your Corvette?

Demotivational Poster Corvette-Envy Featured

When you drive a Corvette, there are some simple rules to follow, the most famous one being the “Corvette Wave”, which simply means flashing your headlights when you see other Corvettes on the road. Another rule appropriate for the Corvette Code of Conduct (and just a good rule if you’re driving any nice vehicle) would […]

Back in August we reported that a black 1993 Honda NSX once owned by Ayrton Senna was up for sale on eBay.

Your ATV Connection editors are still monitoring SprocketList for good deals on previously loved equipment to make those rides a [...]

This is the Fastest Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG … in the World

2007 Weistec Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG - Fastest G55 in the World Home

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class doesn’t need to be fast to be cool, but extra horsepower doesn’t hurt, either, so when it comes to cool off-roaders, a G-Class in AMG guise is the R-134a of SUVs. Weistec Engineering has taken a 2007 G55 AMG and increased its cool factor even more by creating the fastest G55 in the […]

Jaguar Pokes Fun At Mercedes’ in New Ad

I love a good commercial throw down. A few months back, Mercedes thought it would be so cool to advertise their Magic Body Control (fancy, high-tech, very expensive suspension technology) using chickens. It’s actually pretty entertaining… Just, not as entertaining as Jaguar’s rebuttal to Mercedes rhythmic poultry. See what I mean in the video below. I [...]
