How can you argue with a blower like that on a late model car like this? And they said hotrodding was dead. This video was, of course, shot in Australia. They call it a Holden Monaro. We called it the GTO. I just call it bad ass.
Sweet mother of… Wow. Now, if you’re fan of drag racing, then you probably have an idea of what a boosted big block is capable of. There’s almost no limit to the amount of power you can get out of these things if you set your mind to it. I’d say 2500hp is a good [...]
It’s amazing how different exhaust systems can completely alter the sound of a car. Whether it’s the stock manifolds vs. longtubes, a chambered exhaust vs. a straight-through muffler or a Y-pipe vs. a true-dual setup, you can significantly change the sound of your LS-vehicle with different exhaust systems. Here’s a little video comparing some lightly [...]
Remember that LS9 Camaro that we featured a while back? Well, here’s another video of it doing what it was built to do. The last one was just it sitting on a dyno. This time it’s putting that power to work. And boy does it work.
The RX-7 is a great car, but the rotary was never really a stable powerplant. They can be genuinely fast when you start pushing tons of boost, but their short life times and high maintenance requirements suck. The easy solution? An LS, of course. I don’t know how much power it’s making, but it’s able [...]
This big, red, truck is was the winner of the TX2k13 burnout contest. There was some tough competition, including a really sick burnout from a Mustang. Despite the pony car’s potential for burning rubber, it was the Chevy that took home the win. Well deserved I think.
This is the sound of eight very angry pistons wailing away like it’s their last day on earth. The thing that gets me about race cars isn’t just how intense they are, but the fact that they have to me maxed out around a track, all day, non-stop. That’s impressive. Don’t get me wrong, I [...]
