I love Nelson Racing Engines. While I don’t have any experience with their handiwork in the real world, their videos are awesome. This 7-liter LSX is sporting NRE’s new Tunnel Ram Alien Intake, and as you might expect, it’s an absolute beast.

Well. That didn’t take long at all. The guys at Weapons Grade Performance have officially swapped a LS into the well-regarded Subaru BRZ. They’ve dubbed it: “The BRZ06”.

It’s got 1000hp and front wheels that don’t believe in physics. Actually. They do believe in physics, it just doesn’t seem that way when this guy gets on it. […] More »

Remember when the Impala was rear-wheel-drive? Ah, those were the good old days. I hate to say it, but the car had  lot more character back then. Of course, there was even more character in the Impalas that got some attention under the hood. Not all of them have been turned into donks. Not yet anyway.
