If you are of a certain age, as I am, then the Group B rally cars of the early 80s are the n’est plus ultra of anything driven by an internal combustion engine on four wheels. Packing unlimited horsepower into econobox based hot hatches with all wheel drive and minimum weight these cars were then [...]
If you had to pick two vehicles to play with in the back woods of Maine, which would you go with? Ok, let’s pull a Unimog off of the list. Now what would you go with? Odds are, most of you are thinking along the SVT Raptor lines, but if you were on the staff [...]
As Vincent Vega says, you just don’t fuck with another man’s automobile. Once upon a long time ago, Mike Gomez had a 1969 Ford Mustang Mach I with a Cobra Jet 4 Speed. He sold the car to buy his first house, and 30 years later picked up another ’69 with the intention of restoring [...]
Alright, so I know you’ve probably had more Fiesta than any one human should be submitted to, but good Rhys Millen has dropped a video of his record-breaking two wheel-drive Pikes Peak run on the interwebs. The flick is dripping with cinematic ooo-gooeyness, complete with sunrise sideways action. The question is, how does it stack [...]
Looks like one of the wicked, 800 horsepower Ford Fiestas went for broke and succeeded at last weekend’s Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The car, piloted by none other than rally guru Andrea Eriksson went four-wheel sideways off the course, landing in a small gully below. Both Eriksson and his copilot are fine and eventually [...]
You know, 800 horsepower is a lot of gusto for a car this size. It’s really easy to rattle off that number without an eye toward just what that means. These days, 800 ponies isn’t all that big of a deal, especially in light of the tuning scene’s ever-present quest for loftier dyno specs. The [...]
The Fiesta Movement takes a new turn at the end of the month when rally prepped versions of the coming-soon-to-America Ford Fiesta enter the fourth running of the X Games Rally Super Special at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA. Three Fords go into battle with the ubiquitous Subaru Imprezas and Mitsubishi EVOs. The [...]
We finally got our grubby mitts on a shot or two of the wicked new GT500 Super Snake. Yes, sirs, it is as mean as it looks. Very, very mean.
Maybe so, Fiends. Good Dr. Lieberman over at WebRidesTV has unearthed an interesting category on the car’s option sheet. Simply labeled “Turbo Kit,” no one knows exactly what the deal is. Sure, we know Ford’s itching for up to 90 percent of its fleet to boast Ecoboost (direct injection + turbo), but if the Blue [...]
If you’re thinking this is the ugliest fox body Mustang you’ve ever seen, you may be right. It’s also one of the most bad ass FoMoCos ever built. See, way back in ’89, Road & Track held a high-speed shoot out, and the crew from JBA brought this terrifying Pony to play. While the car [...]
