Posted in MISC April 19, 2013  by  Brian Lohnes > >  2 comments

There’s something awesome about a full tilt car built from original period steel. Such is the case with this radical 1934 Ford which was built by the guys at Eddie’s Chop Shop in California recently. The car just started turning tires on the track last weekend, so even this dyno video is fresh fish because [...]

Aussie BangShifter John Tearle tipped us off to this video of a Commodore Ute not only burning the tires off, but also nearly burning to the ground during an Aussie “power skid” contest. At points during this video, you can see plastic body panels melting off of the car…seriously! John believes that it probably has [...]

Video: StangKilr 1200+ Horsepower 2010 Camaro On The Street Racing All Comers

Posted in RACING & ACTION April 14, 2013  by  Chad Reynolds > >  0 comments

We’ve all seen a lot of really fast 5th Gen Camaros, but when you start talking about big power like this, it’s a whole other world. The StangKilr Camaro has enough turbo for 1500+ Horsepower, but the owner, who shall remain nameless, says he’s got 1200 with the current combo. It’s got all the good [...]

We’ve seen just about every kind of burnout imaginable. We have done most of them ourselves! But this one made us shake our heads. Unfortunately the car doing the burnout is front wheel drive, but at least it’s domestic. You will laugh as you watch this one, unless you are dead. Click play to watch. [...]

1320 Video Sunday: A 1000 Horsepower Turbo Ford Lightning Tearing Up The Track In Houston

Posted in RACING & ACTION April 14, 2013  by  Chad Reynolds > >  0 comments

Lightning’s have been Ford’s baddest truck for a long long time, but there are a lot of them out there with turbos instead of the factory installed supercharger. The whole Turbo vs Supercharger argument is never going to be decided, but there are plenty of bench racing sessions each and every week about which is [...]

To build a little old Toyota Corolla that runs in the elevens on the strip and looks like something an old woman would be driving is devious and awesome. The car is down in Australia where weird and cool drag cars seem to be growing on trees. From the plumbing van with the 632ci BBC [...]

There are sleepers and then there are sleepers.

You don’t have to like rock buggies, trucks, off roading, or nature to appreciate the sheer levels of massive balls and complete insanity you’ll see in this two minute video. Quick synopsis: A rock buggy climbs a near sheer cliff not once, but freaking twice. The second time, it actually goes over the top. Oh, [...]

No joke, although you cannot see the scoreboards at the end of this video the “winning” bus is capable of running in the 13-second time zone. How do we know that? We’re including an extra video of that same bus running at an eighth-mile strip in Puerto Rico and cranking off an 8.75/80 mph run. [...]

Oh, there is lots and lots of win happening here. If you want to skip the warm up laps you can jump to the 1:00 mark but we suggest watching the whole thing because it gives you the full sensation of how this thing acts and accelerates (on dirt) when the driver starts dipping his [...]
