Meet Lydia. That green beauty up top started out as a run-of-the-mill ‘Vette in 1967. For most of her life she was a simple ‘vette, ya know? Kind of the car next door type. But at some point, she fell in with a different kind of crowd. B Rod or Customs of Kentucky got their […] More »

I could sit here for days extolling the virtues of LS swapped Miatas, but I feel like that would just be preaching to the choir here. The formula is simple: small car + big engine = good times. Of course, the Miata is a car that’s fun drive stock too. But why drive stock when […] More »

It’s about time we got some classic sheet metal up here. How about a 930 hp Chevy Nova? That’s classic muscle with a decidedly modern, LS -based heart. This run was made at 17 psi on E85. Boost comes from a Garrett GT4788. That snail is capable of up to 1400 hp, but I’m guessing […] More »
