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 […] More »

I never really watched the show “Pinks,” but had I known this was the type of stuff going down, I might’ve paid more attention. Both cars are amazing, but that Corvette is something else. Who needs a rear bumper? It’s just extra weight anyway right?

Okay. This truck is a beater. But it’s a beater with a secret. See, behind the missing paint and patina is a lot of power hooked up to some pretty wide tires. You’d be right in guessing that it’s fast, but that’s not all. It can also disappear! All you have to do is stand on […] More »

Oh, little 280Z, what happened to you? You started off as such cozy little sports car. I know you’ve always wanted a more power, but ever since you’ve gotten that LS1 swap… You’ve changed. You’re so much more aggressive. Suddenly you started wearing black and you’ve even started smoking! Those poor little Kumho’s are mincemeat […] More »
