For everyone who had their reservations about the new LT1, well, how does 551 HP at the wheels sound from a C7 Corvette with an LMR Stage III heads/cam package? Sounds like beast mode to us and further proof the new LT1 is no joke! Now I’m not saying the venerable LS3 is any less […] More »

This is a cool idea. We’ve featured a lot of drag racing videos here, but this is the first one I’ve seen that uses a drone to help with filming. The race itself is good too. I mean you’ve got an LSx powered Nova racing a late-model GT500. It’s a classic battle of old versus […] More »

While their 1000+ hp twin turbo Corvettes and Camaros of yesteryear might have put LPE on […] More »

I can understand the hate that RX7 purists have towards people that swap LS’s into their beloved FD RX7. There were never that many of them, and they should have a rotary, and blah blah blah. I get it… But LS RX7s are better. This is coming from someone that actually loves rotaries and all […] More »

The engine bay of a new Stingray is a pretty tight space. This creates problems when you want to do things like stuffing it full of turbos. I’m sure people will make it work eventually, but right now we’ve ONLY got this guy with his rear mounted turbo. Woe is me. I don’t think the […] More »
