Wisdom of the Road

Brought to you by: grinner

Join Grinner Hester on a road trip where he savors the convenience of convenience-store-deep-fried-food. About a minute into this video watch Hester's bliss as he bites into his convenience store burrito which he covers in taco sauce. There is a trick to eating a deep fried burrito and driving. He shares his secret. Then, of course, if you eat a deep fried burrito you'll probably be looking to pull over pretty soon. About 1:46 into the video after he does a few 'Dukes of Hazard' jumps, he humorously tries to pull over without being caught by the police. Click on this video and enjoy some deep fried fun!!

Supercharged Chevrolet C6 Corvette

Brought to you by: micarone




You've given her the green flag, "but" are you sure you're ready to "try"
and tame this baby? No need for java this morning. Go ahead crank this
supercharged C6 up and go through a few gear changes. 920 hp? Sounds like
920 cp (Cheetah) and don't put in "Tender is the Night" instead
you'll want to crank up "Born to be Wild" and these aren't just words on a
page -- ingest them while going for a ride with these brave souls. We
suggest watching more than once to get the full java jolt.

Ford GT

Brought to you by: ksingh.

Get your G-string green ready because the Ford GT is exquisitely exposed. Dressed in red, her power defies the casual saying 'red means stop'; rather to this beauty, red means here's a peek under my skirt -- catch me if you can. And wouldn't you just know it, the American beauty is now aloof. Ford halted production in 2006, but you can still view her in this album. Don't miss the photo of the GT in action.

Lotus Exige Cop Car

Brought to you by ChopperHer007.

The 'fight or flight' impulse is taken out of the equation when encountering this 'cop car'. But it's not because most travelers have little chance of outrunning the Exige, but that the allure of the Exige draws citizens to traffic cops for a friendly exchange. Police in Sussex Australia also find the Exotic is a great ice breaker when explaining the rules of the road to teen drivers.

APR Stage 3 FSI VW GTi at Tuner Challenge

Brought to you by KeithAPR.

Let me start off saying we have not received a dime from APR. I'm blogging this to make a very loud point to all performance parts companies.

These guys have the smartest engineers, amazing half-million project cars, access to race tracks and they see 1000 HP cars every day. Don't tell us why your products are better with a boring marketing video. Make a badass video SHOWING us the cool cars you are working on. Even better, put your geekiest engineer on camera and walk us through the modifications you've done. Entertain us or educate us, don't sell us.

Do that and we'll happily feature your video to StreetFire's 2 million monthly viewers and I'll bet you actually sell more parts in the end.

This part is key, if you post links to your videos on message boards, don't spam them, contribute to the community.

Otherwise you'll get backlash like PowerTV has.

Honda S2000 Top Speed

Brought to you by 300zxttracer.

Sit back and listen to the Honda S2000 go through gear changes as the speedometer climbs. When you get to 1:10 and the car hits maximum speed, 281 km/h (174.61 mph), hold on tight and hope the driver of the transfer truck the S2000 roadster is approaching decides to stay in the slow lane.

Lamborghini Reventon

Viewing the Lamborghini Reventon (revenTON) makes one marvel in the fact that the automobile, just a little over a century ago, was quite literally a horseless carriage. Today car designs are out of this world and the Reventon, although named after an earthly creature, a famous fighting bull, looks to be aerodynically capable of space flight. And why not, lines and angles were inspired by the F-22 Raptor.

Babes and Cars

Brought to you by GearStig.

A sleek unpredictable curvy exotic beauty, who hasn't looked at an Exotic sports car and saw the feminine image? The Porsche Boxster is a perfect example. The Boxster is soft yet muscle is evident and sleek with an overwhelming aura of mystery. She creates a stir whether in the wind or parked on a sandy beach. Her presence never goes unnoticed.

Evilways Chevy Corvette C6 vs Dodge Charger SRT8

Brought to you by Evilways.

This Corvette walks the walk and talks the talk, and don't blink----
especially if you're driving a Dodge Charger SRT8. That the C6 out-muscled the Charger wasn't a difficult assumption, but that's not what makes this video a must see. The moment you click on the video you hear some pretty sweet muscle car music, ten seconds in there's a burnout accompanied by the same music, and of course there's the race.

Bugatti Veyron vs. Mercedes McLaren SLR

Brought to you by micarone.

This is probably a bit of an obvious outcome, 626 hp vs. 1001 hp but it's still a really cool video. Am I the only one tired of watching the Veyron pick on little kids? I'm wondering if our buddy VRAlexander might have a 2800 hp 68 Camaro that might want to play with a Veyron.... now that would make a great video. I can't be the only one that wants to see a Veyron get owned.

Location, Location, Location...

Brought to you by Exotic's Rally.

Last night, before the snow storm in NYC, a few folks from Exotic's Rally went out for some impromptu fun. While the snow ultimately proved to be a challenge for the green Gallardo you get a glimpse of in this clip, the white C5 had some fun in Columbus Circle.

Nope, it's not the best donut video around, but it's one of the best we've seen in NYC since the red 360 screamed through the streets of Times Square.

Got a video of smoking tires in front of your favorite tourist attraction, national monument, or local police station? We'd love to see it. Note: It's a felony to do a burn out on NASA property in a Ford GT. Go ahead... ask us how we know....

Off The Track...

A few weeks ago, we had the opportunity to spend some time with Farnbacher Loles at the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona. While most everyone was focused on the action on the track, we wanted to see what went in to running the race. Here's part one of our "Off the Track" footage we collected during the Rolex 24...

Spotted: Bugatti Veyron Pur Sang

Brought to you by AMKaudifan007

The Bugatti Veyron Pur Sang is quite possibly one of the most exclusive cars in the world. With only 5 vehicles made, it doesn't come as any surprise that this one was spotted in the posh city of Dubai in the U.A.E.

Thanks to "AMKaudifan007" for the video.

Flying Water Jet Car

Brought to you by TheBoz

If house caught fire and the fire fighters did not come out, it's because they where to busy hooking their hoses up to a car to get it airborne. Of course you had to be living in Russia for this problem to have happened to you. See this amazing footage of the stunt taking place. I guess cleaning the fire engines was getting to be quite boring. Thanks "TheBoz" for the video.

Garage Wheelies and Slow Speed Stunting

If you ride a motorcycle then you know it's easier to ride fast than slow, but doing wheelies in the garage? Crap man, that's pretty cool, about 1 minute and 20 secounds in, you get to see it.

Exhaust That Adds Downforce?

Brought to you by Garage 419.

At the Palm Beach Supercar Weekend, Matt Farah of the New York Motor Club got a chance to chat with Jim Glickenhaus about the P4/5. You'd think that there's not much more to know about the Enzo-based Super Car. I've pored over volumes of information about this car and I thought I knew everything I needed to know. But what Jim had to say about the exhaust system and it's effect on the aerodynamics of the P4/5 was something I've never heard before...

SSC, the fastest car in the world, is Pushrod powered

Brought to you by StreetFire Podcast

The King is dead, long live the King. The United States has taken the crown from the Europeans with Pushrod power. 4 minutes and 50 seconds into this video, our own Chris Jones talks with SSC about the design of the Ultimate Aero motor and what it takes to unseat the Veyron as the fastest car in the world at nearly 260mph. And how does the SSC compare to the Veyron in a heads up race? 7 car lengths ahead at 180mph with both cars still accelerating.

This is what 1,000 HP looks like

THEPHAT is sporting one of the most powerful rides on StreetFire.

Bolt some hair dryers onto an already stout motor and this is what you get. This car isn't a Dyno Queen either. It's trapping over 140mph in the quarter mile as well.

We love it when forums link to StreetFire, heck it why StreetFire has gotten as big as it has in the first place. A few weeks ago we added a feature to let everyone know where all the views are coming from, and since making this public we've been finding and sharing links around the office to cool sites. You can do it too. If you see a video you like, click the "Top Links" button under the video and see where all the traffic is coming from. It's a great way to discover new sites.

Official Photos of the 2008 Challenger SRT8

After delays and teasing us with the concept car from 2006 we can now see the final production version. They did a good job with the body and I like it, but the big upset is the interior. They failed to bring the concept interior to life and have given us a very disappointing mix of the current Charger and Avenger interior. The fact that the company is struggling is evident through the cutting of corners this way. Nevertheless I'm looking forward to the 6.1 liter V8 beast and though your viewpoint from inside may suck, anyone seeing you in it will look twice. This is a really hansom looking car with bite.

Cute FLD Hostess gives StreetFire some love.

Derek D has been taking a break from the Fast Lane, and new hostess Carrie is giving all of you some love. Check out about half way in when she plugs StreetFire. Given how cute she is its even worthwhile to watch to the end. Return the favor by posting some comments, and maybe Fast Lane Daily will let her host another show.

Audi R8 Superbowl Commercial, the best of the evening?

Brought to you by LongRun.

Granted, last night's game was probably one of the most gripping Super Bowls in recent memory, but for too long, what has made this game stand out has been the action between the plays. Audi decided to spice it up with an ad for the one car they have no problem selling, the Audi R8. Beyond that I don't think any of the automotive ads really captured the imagination. What about you?

StreetFire Podcast picks up speed with the Veyron

Brought to you by BestOfStreetFire.

Every year there is something faster that hits the streets, but the Veyron was something special beyond just speed. It has luxury, grace, pedigree and symbolizes a resurrection of a more romantic time in hyper cars. But the king of speed has been dethroned by newer and faster, what does that mean? Chris Jones of StreetFire reflects on the subject.
