No shots fired this time, unless you count LS1Tech member, stockz‘s, Camaro as a bullet. Takes on two considerable opponents in this a half mile drag race. The first is a race against an F430. According to the thread, he’d normally be running on nitrous, but on this particular run, he did it on motor. […] More »

Dang. Now that is a real turbo. The compressor clocks in at a whopping 106mm. Behind it is an LSx with what I’m assuming is a raft of supporting mods. According the youtube link, they made 1100 horsepower or so on this dyno run. Under normal circumstances, it makes anywhere from 1500 to 1600 horses. Yeah, sounds […] More »

Pontiac Trans-Am. 8 liters of displacement. 700 horsepower. No one would blame you for assuming it was a drag car. The fact that this Trans-Am is built to go around corners just makes things much, much more interesting. Instead of living it’s life burning down quarter miles, this second gen f-body blazes up hillsides. I’m going […] More »

There’s something weirdly calming about this video. Maybe it’s the methodical way these guys install the engine in this Trans-Am. Actually, it’s probably the super relaxing house music they have playing in the background. I swear, it feels like I should be sipping pina coladas on a Spanish beach somewhere instead of waiting for the […] More »

You know, you’d think squeezing power out of these new Camaros was as easy as wringing out a wet rag. Maybe I’m just jaded from seeing too many LSXs making over a thousand horsepower like they’re sneezing. This car is tuned by Heintz Racing and JCR Performance to over 812 horsepower at the wheels. Just another […] More »
