You’ve gotta love the American way. Where something is good, more of that something will always be better. Need proof? Have a look at Specialty Car Craft’s latest creation – a widebody Lotus Exige with the stock supercharger and a turbo. Combined effect is around 500 horsepower, and the serious meat at the rear makes [...]
If you think the big bad Jaguar XKR isn’t big and bad enough, Arden has just the trick for you. The company has just unveiled a beefy supercharger good for an extra 80 horsepower and buckets of extra torques over the stock 420 hp and 413 lb-ft of torque. That should help scoot the car’s [...]
If you’ve ever wondered what the “more” part of Wheelsandmore is all about, wonder no more. The tuning company has rolled out its take on Audi’s lethal all-wheel drive R8. If you’ve got the cash, your R8 can get its gusto bumped up to around 530 snarling ponies thanks to an ECU reflash ($2,300) and [...]
Falken Drift Fiend Vaughn Gittin Jr. is making his way across Japan, introducing the locals to his 2010 Ford Mustang GT along the way. You may remember the video of Gittin demolishing the “drift record” a few days ago. After the jump you’ll find a handful of videos, including what the locals think of the [...]
Looks like Vortech isn’t the only group interested in breathing on the baddie Pontiac G8 GT. Legendary Pontiac performance gurus SLP has slapped the equally hallowed Firehawk name on the soon-to-be-neutered Pontiac G8 GT. Fans of GM’s bastard child will likely recall the Firehawk performance package has historically been kept to the Firebird. If you [...]
The guys at Vortech have let slip a tasty little video of a Pontiac G8. You know when Vortech and GM get together good things happen. Things like a blown LS3. The company is in prototype stage right now, so there are no power numbers, but sweet lord does this thing sound good. Weren’t we [...]
Tuners and hot rodders everywhere dove into a horsepower-induced coma when GM announced its epic LS9 would be available as a crate engine. The company has rolled out its 2009 performance parts catalog and sure enough, the engine’s there – complete with a $21,000 price tag. Steep? Depends on where you stand. With 630 horsepower [...]
Anteros has finally begun selling its line of re-bodied Corvettes. The company has a total of three models to choose from, including the XTM roadster, XTR coupe and XTS targa. Each comes with styling inspired by supercars of the ‘60s with heaping helpings of Italian design influence everywhere you look. Under that sexy dress sits [...]
Not sure if it’s the British style of automotive journalism, or just the Top Gear method that all other English rags are expected to copy, but there’s a wee bit’o’hyperbole to be found. CAR is certainly more guilty than most. Not to be outdone, the UK’s Auto Express has released “renderings” of the Jaguar XE. That’s twice [...]
I think the way you want to look at this is not as $25k for a 2003 350Z, but $25K for 385 supercharged horses. Plus fancy suspension, brakes, wheels and tires. Graphics and interior mods, too, if you go for that sort of thing. Also, the Stillen Z is well known inside SoCal import/tuner circles. [...]
