StreetFire and Top Fuel Drag Racer, Bob Tasca III

For as long as I’ve been into cars, I always loved drag racing. Well, mainly import drag racing since it was way more readily available to me than the NHRA Top Fuel funny cars. Sadly, that scene has been dying in the past few years despite the hard efforts of NIRA, Battle of the Imports, [...]

1000HP Tacoma at Goodwood Festival of Speed

Thanks to jkand for this upload and all the stats on the car!
Crazy Kiwi Rod Millen has his work cut out for him behind the wheel of this beast! The 2.1 liter Straight 4, in this 1951lb Toyota Tacoma, is producing 1000 horsepower. Er, can we say good power-to-weight ratio!
Despite AWD, [...]

Big HP = New Dyno Record

hpheaven takes us Down Under for some serious amounts of horsepower on the dyno.
What beast is making big numbers again? That would be the AS Motorsport Supra GAS2JZ setting a new record at the AUTOSALON in Melbourne.
How much HP? We won’t spoil it for you but let’s just say it’s [...]

Blown 426 Hemi Stroker

kkd60 shows that you only need a little bit of boost to get a whole lot more performance!
How much more? How does an extra 145 horsepower and an additional 260 lb-ft of torque sound? Pretty good, we’re thinking, and that’s off a mere 8lbs of boost!
Plus, the car looks totally excellent. [...]

Renntech declares ‘Horsepower War’ ongoing with new SLR 777

Mercedes-Benz’s AMG arm has declared the horsepower war over two years in a row, all the while continuing to turn out new and improved - and more powerful - cars. Renntech has taken its cues from the spirit, if not the letter, of AMG’s announcements with its latest modification, boosting the SLR supercar’s output to [...]

Fastest Truck On Earth!

S2000 brings us some new footage of the completely insane 36,000 horsepower jet-powered truck, that we’ve certainly seen before but never fails to entertain!
Why have only 1 jet engine / afterburner attached to the back of your semi when you can have 3? Makes for a much more impressive 1/4 mile run [...]

America’s Switzer Performance releases 1,000hp Porsche 911 package

Oberlin, Ohio, isn’t the likely site for a company specializing in high-output power upgrades for German exotics like the Porsche 911, but the state is home to Switzer Performance Innovations (SPI), a company churning out mega horsepower cars. Started by Tym Switzer several years ago, the tuning firm is now offering a 1,000hp (748kW) twin-turbo [...]

1045 HP BMW E30

mdq shares some tire-smoking action with us.
What happens when you shove a 1045 horsepower, M5 3.6 twin turbo motor into an E30? The power-to-weight ratio gets really good! This little car is packing so much grunt it can barely stay straight, but then again, we all know things get far more interesting [...]

Mercedes’ SL65 AMG Black Series takes its first dyno runs

Buyers of the 2010 Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Series coupe will be happy to know they are getting what they paid for, as Automobile has proved with its hands-on dynamometer testing of the car. Generating 573hp and 682lb-ft of torque at the rear wheels, the car’s big V12 will still have its work cut out [...]

San Vito S1 - Brazilian Sportscar

rbellote introduces us to a brand new sportscar from Brazil and nothing says sportscar more than a lime green paint job.
This is the San Vito S1, a VW-powered 2-seater. We’d be interested to see it all closed up to get a proper look at its lines but it seems to check [...]
