Two Hours in Beverly Hills

Brought to you by DutchmaninLA.

Here's a fun video produced and uploaded by DutchmaninLA. The scenario is DutchmaninLA carried his family to lunch in Beverly Hills and now shares with StreetFire the cars he saw cruising the streets. This clip is brimming with beauties.

DutchmaninLA added background music to the clip that meanders along with the cars. You'll see quite an assortment: Bentleys, Aston Martins, Mercedes, Vintage vehicles, Lamborghinis, Rolls Royce, Ferraris, Viper, and many more!

At 1:17 check out the Aston Martin DB9 (DB standing for David Brown, a long time owner of Aston Martin). The Lambos show up at 1:25 and not long after the Lambos, you'll encounter a black Bentley. Hot!

Spotted: Chevy Equinox Fuel Cell


I was driving down Sunset Blvd as I do every day on my way to the gym, and low and behold what catches my eye? It was a Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell test vehicle! Yeah one might say that I should probably be a little more excited about all the exotic cars rolling through the streets of Los Angeles but with gas prices at $4.47 for 87 octane, this Equinox got me excited in ways that the exotics simply can not.

GM actually launched a test fleet of these Fuel Cell vehicles as part of their "Project Driveway" initiative. The General handed over a handful of these vehicles to REAL drivers in select markets such as Washington D.C., New York City, and Southern California. Even I signed up for it but to my disappointment I wasn't selected.

With ZERO emissions and a range of 150 miles between fill-ups, this car is perfect for commuters in urban markets.

The Fuel Cell Equinox even beat out still competition such as the very popular Toyota Prius and Honda FCX Clarity to win Green Car Jounal's Green Car Vision Award.

1966 Nova 1500+ HP



Brought to you by Mattl.

Here is a 2:31 video of a vintage 1966 Nova. The '66 Nova is the shade of red that makes the Po Po think of a bull about to charge and the visual of the engine almost the same height as the roof will most likely ignite that notion! LOL!

The motor turns over at 16 seconds into the clip and as long as the guy keeps the gas going stays that way. You get a full visual of the car at 44 seconds and at 1:17 into the clip check out the beast as it rumbles through the parking lot.

CORVETTE ON THE BUMPER



Brought to you by stripblazer

Talk about too much wheel spins! Take a look at this classic Corvette as it's almost freaking vertical on its second wheel hop. The spokesperson at the drag strip commented "Wow! I hope somebody got that on video that was the most spectacular wheel spin, especially the second one!" The spokesperson certainly would not say the same thing if that was his Vette. Who would?

At 35 seconds into the video, the owner explains the aftermath and how he broke the bell housing, the transmission, the header, the front fascia and the carburetor hitting the hood costing him an estimated $3-$4,000 dollars to fix. He said he'll be back in town in about 3 weeks to a month and he'll "put some wheelie bars on it for sure this time."

Hey man! that doesn't sound too bad of an idea.

The Worst of Crash Compilation 2008



Brought to you by TheRing.

If you are intrigued by race crashes, here is a 4:07 compilation of the worst of 2008 crashes brought to you by TheRing.

This clip begins with a motorcycle crash, and it seems the intensity of the crashes take on a grisly momentum. Talk about the 'driver-downside' of motorsports---OUCH! Un-tethered metal soaring, motorcycle drivers either rocketed into the ozone or eating the asphalt and warped speed 'car flips' keep you on the edge of your seat! Oh expletive! that's intense!

Make Your Own Road

Make Your Own Road


Brought to you by GMnext100

If actions speak louder than words, there's a good reason this GM ad has no clever voiceover. The impatient (or should that be ingenious?) driver of Chevrolet Luv DMAX knows the raging torrent of water is no match for his truck's grunt.

Certainly makes the Saturday run to the grocery store slightly more exhilarating when you're basically driving down upstream. Given this vid was shot in Bogotá, do we think the truck is on the automotive equivalent of Colombian Marching Powder?

Brought to you by CrxVteckid who, alas, didn't hit spell check before giving this vid a title.

Generally speaking, Horsepower + short rope + large tree = recipe for disaster / video worth watching on Streetfire.net

And, as you might expect, this video does not disappoint. What's sad is that the guys trying to pull down the palm tree are not young and stupid but old-enough-to-draw-a-pension and stupid. Even better! You'd think they'd know better by that age but luckily, for our viewing pleasure, mature in age does not equal mature in actions.

The BMW M Philosophy

The BMW M Philosophy

Brought to you by TheRing

Where BMW is concerned, "M" stands for "Motorsports". Of course, if you've ever driven one of their M-badged cars, you're probably more likely to think it stands for "motherf***ing fast".

There are plenty of aurally-pleasing exhaust rumbles in this slickly-filmed promo piece and anytime you can be on-board around Germany's famed Nurburgring, it's always worth hitting play. But you'll also learn the philosophy behind what makes an M-badged BMW more than just a standard car with a massive engine shoehorned into the front.

True Turbo Compressor Surge

StreetFire member Synapse shows us an informative video on True Turbo Compressor Surge by testing one of his R33 Nissan Skyline GTR's. Synapse's Video description could not be any more complete. "We came across some true compressor surge while performing some testing on one of our racer's drift Skylines. The BOVs were closed during the testing to make sure that they weren't a factor. But this is what true compressor surge is like. Which is characterized by unstable airflow and more boost than the turbo can take at that RPM."

We've seen a lot of sexy fast cars lately on StreetFire. Some of the cars are so fast and sleek while drifting they become hot but it's been awhile since we wrote about a pickup. Check out StreetFire member, Triton's ride: a 2007 Dodge Ram 3500 Laramie equipped with a Cummins Turbo Diesel (754 hp/1400tq). Talk about muscles and the Laramie looks past hot in a cloud of white burnout smoke.

The clip runs about 5:39. Vehicle specs are given at the beginning of the video and then you see the pulling capacity of the Ram. At 53 seconds in the first drag launches. Check out the smoke stacks! Later you see stills of the Ram and more drags. The drag that starts at 4:25 is interesting and doesn't have a predictable ending. LOL! Enjoy.

Memorial Weekend @ Flat Rock

Memorial Weekend @ Flat Rock

Brought to you by TeamCanada.

Since Memorial Day weekend kicks off the official start of summer, we have some unique watersports action for you: snowmobiles busting moves on a lake!Motorsports enthusiasts motto of 'have horsepower let's see what she will do' is pretty 'much anything goes', and relating to snowmobiles on the water, has been since 1977.

'77 was the year snowmobile watercross competitions began in Grantsburg, Wisconsin. The idea is to hydroplane across the water. If you let off the gas you can kiss your snowmobile goodbye. They use flotation devices in competition to find the snowmobile should the driver's grip on the throttle go limp for whatever reason: carpal tunnel syndrome comes to mind!!

This video is a little over 9 minutes. If you've never witnessed snowmobile skimming or are a fan, it's worth a look!

Here's another great sounding Porsche compliments of SharkWerks Inc in Fremont, CA.

The 1:49 clip's tone is set when AC/DC kicks in and then out of respect for the car goes silent until the end of the clip. Between the beginning and end, you’ll hear the exhaust system as the car flies solo down a four lane deserted road. Just a Sunday evening drive in an Exotic that sounds like it belongs on a race track!

Castle gives us a few facts about drifting showcasing his Nissan S14. At 9 seconds into the clip Castle is in his S14 angling at you! Then he explains why drifting is more a judged event than timed race. He talks about body kits and wheels followed by a S14 demonstration. At 1:06 he gives engine specifications and then at 1:38 we learn the special interior equipment needed for drifting drivers. Cool!

Here’s a 2:27 clip of a Porsche 997 makeover. There’s a good chance this 997, featured in 911 Magazine, will stop traffic. Darn good chance! This clip shows stills of the Porsche as she goes through the upgrades. You have to love the terminology: HRE 590R High Heels/ TechArt GT Street Fangs; TechArt Arse & Dual Tips; and my favorite Premier Custom Clear Bra Wrap!

What I like about this clip is you also see the car in the wind. At 56 seconds into the clip you hear some rowdy dual tip music playing out of the TechArt Arse. Nice. Then we get a taste of the TT at 1:05 into the clip. About 1:17, the music blends in really well with the drive -- really well. Enjoy!

This 2001 Vette caused the origination of the sixth deadly sin, envy. Covet sounds better, but, envy works, too!! The price for this sin, according to Dante, is to have ones eyes sewn together with wire. Well, I never! Better watch the video quick!!! LOL!!

Here's what you'll see and TURN UP the volume that heartbeat kicks arse: Initially the Z06's exterior is cammed from all angles and she's got a hot rear view! Check it out at 12 seconds into the clip. Then until around 48 seconds in it's all about the supercharged LS6. At 52 seconds into the clip you'll hear the deep throated growl. After the dyno it's time to hit the road at about 1:51 into the clip. This is the cool part -- pipe music and driving action. There is another great up-close-rear-shot at 2:08 and she's gone again!

EVO IX (Light Weight Mod)

Brought to you by SUPRA2JZGTE.

The cliff notes on this video say: "This is what happens to a new 2006 Mitsubishi Evolution MR when a 17 year old gets behind the wheel and thinks he is a race car driver." From that bit of information I'm thinking this video may be the reason insurance agencies do not lower premiums on young drivers until they reach the age of 25.

The backed-out-of the garage-visual of the EVO is worth an “Oh expletive” moment. And if you worship the form, cut, lines, angles, of a vehicle the clip will definitely be painful--otherwise consider the viewing a time to ROTFL. Hopefully this young man won't stray too far from the cul-de-sac in this lightweight version of the EVO IX. Oh, and “Hey Be Careful Out There”!

This 2:29 clip offers non-stop drifting featuring a BMW E36 M3 running a road cone course at Santa Pod Raceway in Bedfordshire England. After the cam zooms in on the vehicle, you'll see a skilled drifter. Those words sound routine and not at all exciting unless you know the rush this motorsport inflicts upon the nervous system.

Let's hope the passenger in the car is a short adult! But other than that buckle your seatbelt and hold on!! because this guy has some great moves that go on and on which is nice for us plus they get bolder as time elapses. The power slide toward the end of the clip is worth viewing several times SO you may want to add this video to your favorites!

Cruising Around OC in Enzo and LP640

Nice Escort

Brought to you by AMv8.

Here are some guys cruising Orange County, CA. They invite us to come along in a 20 minute video of captivating Exotics beginning with the finely sculpted rear-end of the Limited Edition Enzo Ferrari and then a Lamborghini Murcielago LP640. She is a rare beauty and high-maintenance -- even the oil used is $60 a quart. Designed as a street-legal Formula 1 car, approximately 400 were made and not all of them are still around due to accidents. However, Ferrari designers did install driver/passenger airbags so the drivers didn’t meet a similar fate. It is a shame; however, to have to say good-bye to even one Enzo and can you imagine how much it would suck if you were the owner?

This is a great clip so sit back and ride along or check out some pretty spectacular eye candy.

Check out this 2:30 Escort drift. It's a little hard to believe that the North American version of the Escort, a car most Americans didn't want to be caught dead in, was tuned to the point of being called Europe's Landmark Rally Car. But surprises make life exciting and this drift action is no different.

Here's the scenario: The first action is seen about 18 seconds into the clip. This car is so smooth initially, you can almost see a person holding a remote control. The action becomes more intense though at 30 seconds into the clip. Wow!! There is more action at 54 seconds in, and just when you think the car is better suited driving sideways, they show the Escort on a straightaway. Nice 'change of pace' drifting video! Have fun!!

Now that we know the drivers will be well fed, the camera goes back to the track. Check out the drift that became a donut at about 58 seconds and at 1:54 was that door supposed to fly open? At about one minute left the camera pans different Skylines and you see Team Falken represented. But, don't click off just yet. The last few seconds show almost tandem drifting.

Speedandmotion captured several newly designed Lambo LP560-4 Gallardos on the streets of Las Vegas. This clip shows stills, different angles of the exterior, as well as in the wind shots.

The updated four wheel drive Baby Bull packs a 5.2L direct-inject V10 which produces 552 horses and is 44 pounds lighter than its predecessor. MotorTrend gives 0-60 in 3.4 seconds with a top speed of 202 mph and a price tag of $201,000. There are also cosmetic updates to the Exotic. Here are a few: new headlights, great new angles that are 'Reventon-eques', and new wheels. The biggest change is the Gallardo's 'rear view'(2:27 into the clip): wider/shorter taillights, a black bar grille, and dual exhausts that emerge from a black casing.

Guinness World Records Fastest Production Car IS Shelby Supercars (SSC) Ultimate Aero Twin Turbo and we have a clip of the record setting run. The record was set in Washington State on September 13, 2007 and recorded October 9, 2007. Top speed is calculated as follows: an initial drive down the course is timed then a second run is made in the opposite direction within an hour’s time. An official top speed is derived by averaging the top speeds of each run. The Ultimate Aero posted a top speed of 257.41 mph (414.31 kph) on the first run and 254.88 mph (410.24 kph) on the second run. The Aero won "Worlds Fastest Production Car" with a top speed of 256.18 mph (412.28 kph).

Your directions for viewing this clip: Don’t blink! LOL! At around 1:01 you'll see under the hood and exterior visuals. MMMMMMMMM..Nice! But, you probably haven’t gotten your Aero fix just yet so Best of StreetFire Podcast is on hand to offer more Aero information and action: 1183 HP SSC Aero vs. Lamborghini - Podcast 15.

JVC Turn Me On Video

JVC Turn Me On Music Video - 72 Chevelle SS
Props to Voge1973 from JVC Mobile for uploading this sick video.

What do you get when you combine a sweet 72 Chevelle SS, a couple of rock stars, and a bunch of hot girls? Well you get one hell of a music video promoting one of the sweetest mobile audio products I've seen in a long time! JVC Mobile steps up to the plate with Josh Todd of Buckcherry and Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach caught in one of the finest muscle cars from the General. What video would be complete without a garden hose, suds, and 9 beautiful bikini-clad ladies?

Brought to you from the creative minds of Danny Klein and Steven Lippman.

Bikini Driving School: Episode 5

View Video
Brought to you by Bikini Driving School.


It's hot here in Los Angeles. And it's about to get hotter.

Bikini Driving School launched a few weeks ago. In that time they've shown us some hot cars and hot girls driving those hot cars.

In this week's episode, Sasha Singleton realizes that she's better at rowing gears in a manual transmission than she thought. She was being a bit modest and only needed to find 3rd and 4th gear. Once she did, she was gone, baby.

After getting acclimated to the GT3, we turned her loose on the streets of Alhambra. She had a blast, but after a close call with this borrowed $120,000 car, we decided to see what else she was good at...

The answer?

Go-Go dancing.

She elaborated...with cameras rolling.

Episode 5 Episode 5 now.

Skyline GTR R33 10 Second PASS

Skyline GTR R33 10 Second PASS

Brought to you by TheRing.

It's hard to pass on any clip featuring Nissan's GT-R series. TheRing uploaded this video of a GTR-R33, the ‘racing version’, so let's click on the action!

The clip is 2:02 long. You'll hear engine music for the first fifteen seconds into the clip. Then there is a great mystical creature 'big screen' image --that is-- the car is surrounded by burnout white contrasted with the black of night. Nice! The GTR R33 launches 'at night runs' at 40 and 58 seconds into the clip. The sun comes up for the next set of runs. Nice listening to the gear shifts. The last run begins at 1:39 into the clip and we ride along with a 'looking out the windshield' view. Enjoy the ride!

Corvette Street Burnout

Brought to you by C6DVL

If cars were celebrities this is probably the best way to roll down the red carpet. Check out this superstar bad ass C6 LS3 Vette as the driver burns rubber for 17 seconds and is praised by flashing cameras. We really have to give it up to StreetFire member C6DVL because we cant get enough of his great videos! This past week alone two of C6DVL's video's were on our homepage. If you haven't already, take a look at his videos...we're pretty sure it'll get your adrenaline pumping. (Corvette Knight Ryder and Corvette Toy for Tot Run Part 1)

Team Velocity Street Drifting in Japan

Team Velocity Street Drifting in Japan

Brought to you by TheRing

Check out this 7:49 clip of Team Velocity doing great drifting moves in the mountains of Japan. We know before the action begins that there is the possibility the drivers may encounter icy patches which ups the risk ante.

Here's a taste of the action: At 47 seconds into the clip headlights bounce off snow banked on the shoulders of the road. Squealing tires and shifting begin at 54 seconds and then they assess road conditions before the 'real' action begins.

This clip gives a new meaning to the term 'snow drifts'! The guys begin to have fun at 2:12 into the clip. The cars encounter a slick spot at 2:33 then at around 2:50 we get a 'from the windshield view' of the action with more spin outs. At 3:49 they make a pit stop 'street drifting style' to make repairs on a car that sustained a guard rail hit. There's more drifting into slick areas until around 5:05 and then the camera captures the guys who by now have decided to hang it up and listen to music in a parking lot. The dance moves are pretty funny! Enjoy!

Corvette Toys for Tots Run, Part 1

Corvette Toy for Tot Run, Part 1

Brought to you by C6DVL

Remember StreetFire member, C6DVL's previous video when he drove his C6 LS3 Corvette 85 miles in 43 minutes? Here's the clip: Corvette Knight Ryder.
His new video upload is our favorite Corvette speed junky cruising the New Jersey Parkway with 600+ Corvettes for a Toys for Tots charity event. This clip is 5:49 of the drive. Let's see if C6DVL gets close to 200 mph this time.

Initially we see the rear view of another Corvette which is nice. Then at 1:08 into the clip he puts the C6 in the wind. Listen to the gear shifts!! Nice engine music in this segment. Also we are watching his speed rocket up! And if you'll notice, as his speed shoots up the Corvette that was in front of him has vanished. LOL! But not for long, because at about 1:40 into the clip that Vette becomes a blur!

When he nails 182 mph the music kicks in! He slows down now and from about 2:12 until about 4 minutes in there are great visuals of other Vettes. The music blends in well with some pretty nice driving moves by C6DVL. He slows with traffic. Then at 4:32 he gets restless again! It is a lot of fun riding along in that C6 when he gets restless!! The second part of the Toys for Tots run can be seen here: Corvette Toy for Tots Run, Part II.

It's been a while since we've seen some good two-wheeling SUVs from our friends from across the pond. In case you've forgotten or have never seen this before, you're in for a treat.

Who cares about "Ghost Riding the Whip" when you can drive one two wheels!
