Flames are, in general, not what you want to see coming out of your car. Heck, even painted flames can be a little corny. That said, fire spitting exhausts will never go out of style. There’s something innately satisfying when you back off the throttle and the exhaust cackles with unburnt fuel. It’s part of the allure of owning […] More »

A 12-second ET in the quarter mile is pretty fast right? I mean, heck, the new Camaro ZL1 will run 11.9 out of the box. Even if you don’t like the Camaro it’s silly to argue that it’s slow. And there’s no way it’d get walked by some busted looking work truck… Right? Well, this […] More »

You’ve probably heard of the Atomic Fusion Corvette. I say probably, because the car is ferociously fast and all over these forums. If you haven’t, it’s a twin-turbo C6 Corvette that runs low sevens all day. That alone is pretty impressive.

That might sound strange considering the modern political climate, but prior to the […] More »

COPO Camaros are fast. Always have been. But being able to run 8.64 out of the box is especially impressive. In fact, this is the fifth run down the track this particular car has taken. That’s crazy quick. The COPO Camaros have quite a reputation to live up to. The original models back in ’69 […] More »

The LSX gets swapped into everything. We wouldn’t be surprised to see one dropped into a tricycle. Still, every now and then there’s a swap that makes us raise an eyebrow or two. This IS 300 swap is definitely one of those. It’s a strange swap. Not because the IS is bad match for a powerful turbo-charged […] More »
