Trans Am Burnout is a Cloud of Smoke and Wonder(Jun 17, 2013)Cooler demonstration of tire smoke and potential fire? Doing this at 80 around a bank with another car inches off your bumper.
Still pretty rad though :D
Forza Director Elevates Drifting to a Work of Art(Jun 08, 2013)Thanks Victor! The track is in Canby Oregon, it's about 20 miles South of Portland. If you ever make it out be sure to say hi! I'll be in the pits next to a blue AE86, and a red S13 hatchback!
Classic JDM: Toyota AE86(May 30, 2013)Pretty sure that's a t2. Every turbo AE86 I've seen has had a top mount T2. But I could be wrong, it's a pretty small photo on my phone.
Classic JDM: Toyota AE86(May 28, 2013)400 horsepower is most likely a very high estimate. Keep in mind that it's a 1.6 liter, and that's a T2 flanged turbo.
Dead-End Technologies: GM EV1(May 09, 2013)The difference here is that you can buy a Volt, you could only lease an EV1, and they never allowed ANYONE to buy theirs, including celebrities like Tom Hanks, and Danny Devito.
Dubai Cops Add Aston One-77 to Fleet(May 09, 2013)Lol @ "the US could afford these"
Not with the budget cuts all of America is feeling right now.
Dead-End Technologies: GM EV1(May 09, 2013)The controversy surrounding this car deals with the fact that many people that leased the car offered to buy them, in cash, and GM actually took many of them back by force. For a company to turn down potential sales and forcibly remove their product
Shelby's Latest Packs 1200 HP(Mar 25, 2013)This is a mustang with 1,200 HP. It will be entirely useless without SERIOUS development on the chassis. Why do you think the Bugatti has AWD? All this car is good for is destroying tires. It will never be able too hook all that power up
SRT Hits the Track with Viper TA(Mar 23, 2013)I hate this new update. This has been the top story for FOUR days?! Get your act together Carbuzz.
Next Focus RS Coming in 2015(Feb 04, 2013)Ford has allegedly fixed the torque steer problem. But I'm sure it's still a handful to drive. If they made it AWD I would definitely daily one of these, even over an STI or Evo
Cars and Coffee (and Tea) Iran(Jan 27, 2013)Ditch that hood for a stock one and I love it! My high school girlfriend had an old IROC, was a pretty fun car. I had an 88 Trans Am GTA back then. I kinda miss that car now
Nissan 370Z Touring by K3 Projekt(Jan 18, 2013)Why did a wheel company build a car that needed wheel spacers, instead of just designing the right size wheel to begin with?
American Cruisers: Chevrolet Impala(Jan 03, 2013)Impalas didn't come with 427's or 454's... At least not in the early sixties, considering the big block wasn't made back then.
Shelby to Build an EcoBoost Mustang?(Dec 24, 2012)I'm all for smaller displacement turbo motors. They make great power, get amazing mileage, and a day of tuning on a stock motor can yield a whole lot more power
Aventador Eternal by SR Auto(Nov 16, 2012)Pretty lame when you call your car "custom" and the only modification on it was easier to accomplish than an oil change.
Nashville Cars & Coffee Season Finale(Nov 06, 2012)I love those old T Type Buicks. Hell, I'd rather have one of those than a Corvette of the same era.
Nashville Cars & Coffee Season Finale(Nov 06, 2012)That's a much more refined critique. You don't have to like the way they look (I do) but they certainly aren't garbage. Although I'll admit, I never want to work on one!
Camaro Goes Old School with Lingenfelter(Oct 28, 2012)It just looks like one of those fiberglass front ends they put on super stock cars. The proportions are all wrong.
American Muscle: Oldsmobile 442(Oct 24, 2012)My first car was a 1968 Cutlass S. got it at 17 for $300! I'm the second owner and its only got 62k on the clock. Last time it was registered was 1990.
Edo Enzo ZXX Tears Up the Autobahn(Oct 20, 2012)I have to agree, it looks pretty ricey. That may just be because of the paint scheme, or maybe I'm just a purist
5 V8 Drift Clips(Oct 03, 2012)Modern LS V8's require just as much tuning as smaller turbo motors. And when were V6's the motor of choice in drifting?? 4 cylinders has always been the predominate motor for grassroots. That or straight sixes...
Sbarro Eight Concept Hidden Away at Paris Show(Oct 01, 2012)There's actually an old Ford roadster in my city with a quad cam Maseratti V8 in it! I think it's awesome, it's doing something different.
The Sexiest Garage Known to Man(Sep 23, 2012)I love these cars. I visited Germany about five years ago and saw about six of them at the plant in Stuttgart.
Shelby Introduces GT500 Super Snake(Sep 22, 2012)Just need to lower it about 3 inches and put some better wheels on it, those rollers are hideous
Low Volume Retro: Future Retro(Sep 17, 2012)Imagine being the guy who has to straighten out that door after it gets in a wreck! No thank you
5 Lifesaving Lincoln Concepts(Aug 25, 2012)Terrible. Everyone in the industry seems to be doing retro styled designs, I think Lincoln needs to do a retro styled Continental complete with suicide doors. Now that's something I would buy!
5 Lifesaving Lincoln Concepts(Aug 25, 2012)I actually like this. Sure it's not pretty, but look at all the air in there! It reminds me of the Renault Avantime
Japanese Tuner Icons: Nissan 240SX(Jun 28, 2012)Weight won't make a huge difference. But I think it really comes down to what you prefer. That's really about it. It'll cost you the same to build a KA-T to stock SR specs as it would to just swap an SR.
Japanese Tuner Icons: Nissan 240SX(Jun 27, 2012)Argue about SR and KA's all you want. Obviously a modified KA is quicker than a stock SR. But stock for stock the SR will always win.
