Z06 Flyby at 198 MPH!

Z06 Flyby at 198 MPH!

It's videos like these that make me wish that I lived in Europe so that I could use the Autobahn... only problem is, I don't have Z06 so there would be no point.

Thanks 9KFEVER, for reminding us how badly there needs to be an American Autobahn!

Now, this video will be over in a few seconds so you'll have to watch it at least ten times... my favorite part is the sound 9KFEVER is making... because its the same one I'm making!! (and probably what you will be making too)

Bump the volume to max and listen to Z06 roar in the C6 Z06 Flyby @ 198 MPH!! video!

Watch more Autobahn craziness; 997 vs. Gallardo Enjoy!

Turbo X Driving Academy



Not till recently has the Saab 9-3 been a contender in it's class (i.e. BMW 3 series, Audi A4, etc.) to the driving enthusiast... and that's because it's gone X (a special edition version with only 600 being sold in the states.) I know, you're still thinking... "SAAB!? Come on now... really?"


Yes, really... and for the lucky GMNEXT100 who attended the Turbo X Driving Academy at Road Atlanta, we've got footage of the intriguing the two day event!

Watch as Kaylan, the "Saab aficionado," take on the Break test, Skid pad, Slalom, and Autocross on DAY 1. The Double lane change, and several high speed laps on the savage track for DAY 2.

Something tells me that either this driver has The Stig's DNA in him or that he fell into a giant vat of motor oil, mutating him into a driving barbarian!

I not only have wet dreams of being able to own a Lotus 7, but also the dude's mad driving abilities!

RS4 Vs.HPA R32 (Head 2 Head)

There is nothing in the world that gets my gaga's going like the combobulated (I made that word up) and assorted symphony of an F360 Challenge Stradale, Porsche GT3 and Ayrton Senna's Mclaren Honda F1 racecar, blaring their souls out on the track! NOTHING!

Thank you MESTIVOSE, I personally give you Uber-kudo's for posting this breathtaking video!

If the unbelievable sounds and sights of the cars doesn't get you're pecker pecking, then the editing should. This is a really well made video, with numerous camera angles... including exterior shots and an in car cam.

Sometimes the only way to get things done, is in the most awesometastic way possible... as shown in the video posted by SVTDRIVER97.

Usually, it gets done by two clumsy dude's who had a few too many brewski's... which leads to a face full of Motox metal on top of you.

StreetFire's Bull Run Update: Stuck in the Desert!

StreetFire's Bull Run Update: Stuck in the Desert!

The StreetFire Bull Run team -- comprised of our fearless leader Chris Jones and his burnt orange, open air Cobra, along with copilot Karan Singh -- have broken down in the middle of the desert somewhere between Los Angeles and Scottsdale Arizona. Apparently a rock in the road snuck up on them and bit a hole in the oil cooler. At this very moment they’re waiting patiently by the side of the road for a flatbed to haul their asses out of the scorching Sonoran desert heat.

Will the Cobra avoid further predators and make it to Scottsdale in one piece? Will Karan be picked up by border patrol? If you want to bet on this one, I’ve got some beachfront property in Arizona to sell you. In any case, the race goes on without them. Check out the progress of the Bull Run rally here.

The car you're about to ride shot-gun in, is a 996 Turbo with the added addition of a EVOMS kit, that I'm assuming is via SharkWerks. It bumps the already blazing 415HP flat-six, to an astonishing 700HP!

Volvo V40 Crash

Volvo V40 Crash

There is something new to be learnt everyday... and in the case of this video posted by CAMMEDLS1, there is a lot to be learned!

A) Volvo's are as safe as they say.
B) Proper hand placement on the steering wheel is VERY important (otherwise you will crash.)
C) "Click it or ticket" (buckle your seat belt or you will get a ticket.. no screw that.. it will save your life!)
D) Don't grab the steering wheel if you are a passenger (unless you're Michael Schumacher.)

And finally but not least, it is hilarious to watch videos like this in slow motion! If you haven't seen it yet, or your back to show your friends... watch Volvo V40 Crash!

Speaking of slow motion, this next clip has nothing to do with crashing Volvos but its f***n' ridiculous! Check out Slow Motion Car Explosion.

Who cares that non-automotive-savvy-celeb's like Paris Hilton own the SLR, or that it doesn't come with a proper manual?! The Germans were smart to team up with the Motorsport powerhouse from the UK, Mclaren... because this thing is FAST!

This silver bullet goes from zero to 338KM/H (210MPH) in exactly 60 seconds... 210mph! Are you kidding me!? All the while, you're sitting in a luxurious Mercedes-Benz plush leather bucket seat, bumping your latest rap song, enjoying the cool air conditioning flowing from the vents. But under the bonnet (hood), the supercharged 5.4 liter German V8 is working its ass off, pumping over 600 savage horses to the rear tires.

Watch as the Tach races past 6000 RPM's and the TCS (traction control system) light flickers in a desperate attempt to keep the $495,000 SLR going straight, in the Mclaren SLR video.

First Drive with a little boost

First Drive with a little boost

It's always a good idea to test out the power-happy new mod's you spend countless hours applying to your speed machines. SYCLONE2910 does just that, in his early 90's all-wheel-drive turbo-awesome, GMC Syclone.

Mmmm-mmm! Listen to that Turbo spool! There's even a high-shrieking launch to enjoy. Watch as this black beauty zooms by in her recently adjusted boost settings (obviously for optimal performance,) in the First Drive with a little boost video.

All SYCLONE2910 has to do now, is tune the damn thing so we can watch some, 4 wheel, tire shredding action!

Be sure to give a big high five to TheDarkKnight for posting the video that might just do the trick, and super kudos for giving credit to its creators.

Somehow they were even able to capture the dude's who were testing the car... "GM Powerterrain Engine Development Engineers" ... What the?!

But no luck on squeezing any info out of them, besides the fact that they were testing the engine controls of the mighty American V8. All that matters is that we get to see the rocky edges and bodacious curves that sculpt the postmodern Camaro, even better is its gnarly grunt that belts our national anthem!

While we endeavor to bring you great videos, some are a little more special than others and they find a home at BestofStreetFire

And what better place to find this ridiculous video of Sam Hubinette doing what he does best? You have a front row seat from which to watch the crazy Swede drift his Mopar-modified Viper.

Get a birds-eye view from the tip of his rear wing, see the smoke start to billow from just behind his front tire and sit atop the windsheild as the car glides left and right.

Unsurprisingly, Sam has to pit to change his completely f***ed up tires, but then it's straight back out to enjoy the open expanse of tarmac.

Best of all, he's not even competing. Just a seriously-skilled drifter having some fun.

2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR

2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR

The car in this video from ReedBrothersDodge doesn't even move and we don't even care!

How f***ing cool does this car look?! It's a 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR, which stands for American Club Racer. Because, obviously, 600HP is simply not enough to please people these days. They have to have just a little bit more.

And that's where the ACR edition comes in. While the motor is untouched, this beast of a machine gets several upgrades that reduce weight and, thus, give us more power. Amen to that!

Extra air-flow management, enhanced breaking (did you see the size of those rotors and calipers...), lightweight wheels and some additional weight-saving measures mean this car means very serious business.

We're in love with this car and we haven't even seen it move or heard it rumble. Who we gotta pay around here to get some goddamn RWD, tire-smoking action of this thing?

For some 2-wheels vs. 4-wheels action, who d'ya think's gonna win when it's a Twin Turbo Dodge Viper vs. Turbo Suzuki Hayabusa

Ah, those lovable Finns, they've been at it again. First they took their bikes into the woods for a Forest Burnout and now they're killing cars by dropping them from great heights.

And this, apparently, is what passes as entertainment in Finland. The car's owner must choose "Cash or Crash" and, as the video shows, the owner of this Boxster decided "Crash" was the better option.

Yeah, yeah, it's only a Boxster, but still!

Then at fifty-seven seconds into the clip you meet the Viper's competition: two C6Z06 Vettes. Nice! At one thirty-six into the video there's some annoying horn music..LOL!! but the cars are off pretty soon afterwards. The video quality could be better but now it's all about dueling horses and the duel begins at one minute fifty-three seconds in. The lap we see ends this way: Viper: 1:30.2 VS Z06 lap 1:31.9!

For more V vs V action check out this clip and hey all the clips rock from the TV Network for gearheads Torque TV so if you've got a few hit play!

A New American Legacy?

Dodge Challenger Week

Brought to you by Challenger Week

Time to see what a classic car enthusiast thinks of the New Dodge Challenger. Neil Jaffe of Chequered Classic Cars in Los Angeles gives his opinion of Dodge's new muscle. Owning a drool-worthy shop filled with cars of all types, Neil is no stranger to the Mopar brand.

See whether Neil thinks this car holds up to its nameplate as an American Icon.

Watch the Dodge Challenger- A New American Legacy? video.

And remember, this video is Day 4 of Challenger Week! Come back tomorrow to see the Dodge Challenger being photographed for Top Gear Magazine.

Make sure you've seen what's already debuted here at Streetfire.net.

I mean, it's just hot bikini girls getting wet and soapy , plus endless amounts of burning rubber as the Dodge Challenger Drifts its way across the asphalt and then onto The Track to burn more rubber.

But whatever, your choice.

Stunt Cars

Stunt Cars

Thanks to Nevermind_v2 for sharing his holiday video with us!

In something that looks like an automotive equivalent to "So You Think You Can Dance", the VWs in this video get on down to some music at Universal Studios in California.

We'd rather have seen them sliding around the stage with lots of explosions going off, but the robotic display is still pretty cool.

To get an idea of what we're talking about, check out how the competition do it over at the MGM Car Stunt Show

Acura TSX vs. Forklift = Ouch!



Our thoughts go out to Skunk2 Racing and thanks for sharing this video with us; we know it must be painful to watch!

The pride and sense of accomplishment when you're finished modifying your latest ride must be pretty amazing. Gleaming paint, thousands of dollars of custom parts and many man hours of labor, as illustrated by Skunk2 Racing's Acura TSX, are gently rolled out of the work shop and into the daylight.

And then things just go horribly wrong. We're not sure who the monkey is driving the forklift but, evidently, checking his surroundings or driving at slow speeds with a large load were not, apparently, part of his training.

But that's OK. No harm, no foul. It's not like anybody got injured or anything, right? Well, if you don't count the enormous hole in the Acura TSX's driver's side door.

Er, what do ya think: bonus or getting fired?

To see more crashes, take a look at this Motorbike Accidents compilation.

Watch the carnage of Acura TSX vs. Forklift and try not to cringe.

Custom Chopper Bike With Air Ride

Custom Chopper Bike With Air Ride

NCBOX is a fan of his friend Justin's custom ride, so he figured he'd share a vid of the cool 2-wheeler with us.

It's pretty amazing what you can do with $60 of materials if you put your mind to it. This is one sweet ride! The rear shocks are taken off an office chair, the frame is electrical conduit bought from Home Depot and the suede-covered seat used to be a skateboard before our industrious builder got his hands on it.

We're not sure it's cornering capabilities will be great with such a long wheelbase but it certainly looks rad and we love the furry dice!

For a 2-wheeled custom bike with horse rather than pedal power, check out this Chopper Burnout

4WD Turbo 'Vette

4WD Turbo 'Vette

Hat tip to cammedLs1 for this upload.

We can only imagine how much horsepower is being generated by the Corvette in this video. It's amazing it can even make a clean break from the line but, apart from seeming to ignore the green light, the launch is clean and fast.

The car clears the drag strip in 8.88 seconds at 266kph, so about 165mph. Turn up your volume when you watch this; you're gonna love the sound coming out of this turbocharged 4WD Corvette.

If you're a 'Vette fan, check out when a C3 Takes C4 at Kennedale drag strip.
