Bugatti Veyron and Predator V10 Hill climb

The Bugatti Veyron is quite simply automotive royalty. It brings one of the most esteemed names in the motoring world, backed with the most stunning performance figures witnessed since the McLaren F1 debuted. But how does it compare to a purpose built race car?

The folks from 2T4T.co.uk have presented us with two stunning videos to get a feel for what these machines bring to bear. The Bugatti needs no introduction, but the Predator? It features a 3 litre V10 arrows F1 engine in a purpose built hillclimb car. 800BHP, the video has not been speed up or digitally modified in any way. Watch and be amazed

Canada is trying to destroy your car

This sucks, looks like a rouge Canadian province is going nuts on modified cars. If I'm reading this right, all the cop has to do is say "your car looks modified for speed" and that gives them the right to seize and crush your car. Complete rubish. Everyone needs to dig this post on Digg and spread the word.

Another awesome hill-climb video

I highlight videos for various reasons, and I have covered this team in the UK before. This time it's the camera angle that stood out, very neat video shoot, really gives you the raw sense of speed a hill climber goes through. Great Job!

Wiesmann Compilation

Now here is a neat little compilation video from the folks a Wiesmann. Sort of a small boutique manufacturer, their cars look like a modern rendition of a Austin Healey to me, with interior touches that say "the golden years of Jaguar". Very impressive looking little car.

New Video 911 Turbo convertible

Well, here it is, the 911 turbo convertible has finally landed. Now I've never been a huge fan of convertible 911s, but given the completely insane levels of power the turbo is capable of, I think my opinion is being swayed.

StreetFire is hiring!

Yes, the rumors are true! StreetFire is growing faster than we can keep up with and we're in desperate need of programmers, designers, DBAs, heck, even a part time CFO.

#1 Requirement: You have to be a car nut, otherwise we don't want you.

#2 Requirement: Gotta work in Santa Monica California in view of the beach (hard life huh?).

#3 Requirement: You have to be a rock star in your field. These are ground floor job openings, with stock options and practically guaranteed seniority, so we're looking for the best.

What's on the horizon? Well, if you've followed the forum, we have lots of great ideas, and over the last few months, we've asked you what you want to see improved. Now it's time to stop asking and start doing, and we're growing the team to do it. Take a look at the job listings, if you don't see something that fits you, then PLEASE pass it along to other car nuts. We want to keep it in the family, so to speak, and want folks working with us that are going to get excited when we go to shows like NOPI, SEMA and PRI.

Caparo T1 track testing

Hot Hot Hot! This new Caparo T1 is simply an insane piece of Machinery. Love it. Ya know, a lot of manufacturers talk about making an "F1 car for the street", but these guys have gone an done it. The motor positively screeches to redline and the whole demeanor of the car screams "race!"

I can't wait to see this thing on the street when it hits.

RS4 Summer Edition

Fast Lane Daily has the coverage of the new RS4 convertible.... Now this is a cloth top I can get behind. Fast, mean looking and a great sounding V8 under the hood. Where it not for the painfully expensive price this could be the ultimate car.
