Looks like SSC is out to reinvent the electric wheel. And then some. Look, if you wanted to, you could slap a bigger motor into a Tesla, haul around 6,800 more laptop batteries and go really, really fast. Still going to take you 7 or 8 hours to charge the thing. We’ve heard about the [...]
For the Fiends at 9ff there’s no such thing as too much horsepower. Take the company’s latest foray into the Porsche 911 for example. The guys and gals have managed to pull a staggering 1,300 horses out of a 4.0-liter twin-turbo flat six. All that power in a 2,500 lb ride makes 0-60 times kind [...]
The Podcast is back! And today’s was a lot of fun. Why so? Not sure, but Mr. Justin and I ran the gamut from the new 2010 Nissan 370Z to goat food East Germans to 270 mph uber cars. What can I say? We’re automotive omnivores. Have a listen.

A little over a year ago, I helped SSC figure out the protocol and rigamoral necessary to “officially” claim the title of world’s fastest production car.

Another day, another 250 mph hypercar. What wonderful times these are. In case you haven’t paid attention to such insanity until now, 9ff’s 973 horsepower GT9 can travel at 254 mph. Just one measly mile-per-hour behind the world’s fastest car, the SSC Ultimate Aero TT. Though for some reason, 9ff is running around saying they’re [...]
Here’s the long and the short: this year’s Bullrun began in Calgary, Alberta, Canada on June 20. It finishes tomorrow (June 27) in Phoenix.
