Wait… what? Shouldn’t that be the other way around? In what bizarro world does Cadilliac’s premier luxury sports car get outrun by this. A closer look at the Cobalt reveals that it’s not quite stock. This is the turbocharged SS after all. The owner has it pushing 25 psi of boost and running on E85 […] More »

Boost is one way to make a lot of power. Everyone loves it. But what I love even more than the surge of power from turbos is the raw fury of a naturally aspirated motor.  Typically though, big power means big engines. Big engines mean big weight, et cetera.

In this case, the power bulges on the hood of the white one are a dead giveaway. The black one […] More »

We’ll just chalk this one up to the awesomeness of the LS community. Honda’s are basically the butt of all jokes when it comes to arguements of power. Civic’s are especially bad. So whenever you see one turned into something genuinely fast, it’s always pretty interesting. This car takes that hilarious contrast to ridiculous heights. He’s calling […] More »
