What could possibly be better than this? It’s a beautiful, clear day. The sun is shining. You’re at a photoshoot by a lake. Your subjects? Two blonde swimsuit models. Dressed appropriately. It’s almost perfect, but something’s missing. There’s not enough… Smoke. Cue the GTO. The tires light up and fill the sky with a white […] More »

Sweet mother of… Wow. Now, if you’re fan of drag racing, then you probably have an idea of what a boosted big block is capable of. There’s almost no limit to the amount of power you can get out of these things if you set your mind to it. I’d say 2500hp is a good […] More »
