Let me just get this out of the way: The Texas Invitational is awesome. There are loads of incredible cars, close races, and high speeds. It’s a really great place to get a sense of how fast some of these tuned “street” cars actually are. The competition is incredible, which makes Late Model Racecraft’s victory all the […] More »

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 »

On the season premiere of BIG MUSCLE, host Mike Musto gets some seat time in 11-time SCCA Champ Mary Pozzi’s world-famous second-gen Camaro. Powered by an 402 stroker mated to a T56 Magnum and sitting on top of a bunch of trick bits from Hotchkis Suspension, it’s safe to say this baby has about as […] 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 »

When I think of Sweden, I think of meatballs, moose and stylish, affordably priced furniture. I also think of my friends Terrible Feelings, a great Swedish punk band. What don’t I think of? Bad-ass drift Camaros! But that shows what I know. Check out this video of Pelle and Mattias from Swedish Drift Force tearing it […] 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. The fact that it still has an independent rear suspension is just another point […] More »

Well. You gotta start somewhere, right? I’d like to think that in the future the Noriega Brothers will look back on these early designs and laugh as they’ve gone on to build a successful botique car business. Maybe one day they’ll end up being the next famous coach builder. Unfortunately, today is not that day. […] More »

Not entirely LS related, but it’s still kinda a cool. It’s easy to think of the entire F-Body line-up as an America-only affair. I mean, Europe never took to the whole gas-swilling, straight-line-devouring, colossal v8, sports car trend like America. Oddly enough, Iran did. That might sound strange considering the modern political climate, but prior to the […] More »

The Camaro and the Mustang are natural enemies, and there’s been reams of positive press about both the ZL1 and the Blue Oval’s track-tuned Pony, the Boss 302 Laguna Seca. In the past the Mustang has been able to surprise reviewers with how well it handles corners—despite the fact that it still sports a live […] More »
