Very Loud Stage 3 Cam Z06

Very Loud Stage 3 Cam Z06

We've said it before, we love the Z06. But, as ChargerRTZ can attest, there ain't nothing wrong with adding even more performance to this already stupidly fast car.

How does a Stage 3 cam, headers and 150 psi of nitrous sound by way of modifications? Pretty sweet, right! And the dyno runs speak for themselves. We're not sure how they're getting 554hp out of this car, stock, but that's the number it makes. But just wait til they hit the 'goody' switch and see that number leap to 708hp. Nice!

Supercharged Vette vs.F430

Supercharged Vette vs.F430

Thanks to ChargerRTZ for this Euro vs. American street match-up.

You know what it's like, you're just moeseying along in your ridiculously-loud, supercharged Corvette when you espy a F430 up ahead. Well, rude not to go and introduce yourself, right?

The two cars do some freeway slicing and dicing, then get a listen to the 'Vette's exhaust rumble and check out it's Stars & Stripes engine block. Sweet! Then it's time to play with a friend's Z06. Seems like a pretty good way to spend the day.

Vette & The City

Vette & The City

Looks like C6DVL is having a great night in his Vette.

Fantastic camera angle in this video and we're really not too sure how our driver has done it! Gives you a clear view of the gauges, the heads-up display, the car's shiny hood and, of course, the road ahead. The Vette cruises through nighttime traffic, getting well up into triple digit speeds but the best part is through the tunnel, the car pulling away from traffic as the overhead lights whizz by. Good stuff!

Wrecked Ep3: Stuck In The Mud

Wrecked Ep3: Stuck In The Mud

In case you haven't been paying attention, Wrecked is the new series on Speed that takes you behind-the-scenes of the O'Hare Towing Co., in Chicago.

Just another day, just another vehicle stuck. This time it's an 18-wheeler carrying paper, with it's rear tires stuck in the mud and it's front landing gear caught on the train tracks it was trying to cross.

With 41,000lbs of torque available to them in the form of their 50-tonne wrecker, getting the truck un-stuck isn't the problem. Getting it unstuck without breaking the truck is.

1000hp Viper vs. 1000hp Cobra

1000hp Viper vs. 1000hp Cobra

Ricekiller.com mean serious business when it comes to putting cars head-to-head.

This night race in Mexico on a completely deserted highway pits a 1000hp Viper against a 1000hp Cobra. The cars do runs from 40, 60 and 80mph, with all the action filmed from a Vette that's along for the ride.

A few missed gears means some of the runs don't go as smoothly as planned, so it's hard to tell who the real winner is, but just wait for when the Viper comes flying by at 185mph. Insane.

Watch the 1000hp Viper vs. 1000hp Cobra and see which snake is the meanest.

How Not To Launch Your Car At The Drag Strip

Hot Not To Launch Your Car At The Drag Strip

Cheers to TheBoz for ensuring that video viewers everywhere can witness this sad and pathetic attempt to be cool.

OK, maybe that's a bit mean but the dude in the Firebird deserves it. Perhaps it's his first time (and we all know how being a virgin means any and all skill you think you might have goes out the window), but come on! First gear man, first gear! It's the one that's up and to the left!

GT-R: Racing in Japan

GT-R: Racing in Japan

Major kudos to GT3582RSpecV for this first upload.

We wish we had some numbers on this R35 JGTC GT500 but we don't. However, from the looks of how it's lapping that circuit let's just say it's making stupidly-large amounts of horsepower and has an insanely fast top speed. It sticks to the track like glue and yes, we want one.

But wait, there's more, from J1MZ ! Although this GT-R might look slightly more street-legal, we're pretty sure the dude in the helmet is ready for the track.

Our Japanese is a bit rusty but we're pretty sure he's saying, "how f***ing sweet is my amuse Nissan GT-R Phantom , dude? Now let's take a closer look and then get heavy-footed on the track".

If this is any indication as to the performance of the GT-R Spec V, we're damn excited.

World's Fastest Evo X

World's Fastest Evo X

We don't have any official word on whether this vid from joeymustang really does show the World's Fastest Evo, but hey, it's pretty damn quick, so that's good enough for us!

We're down Puerto Rico way and I think we can safely assume that this white Evo X is now making a little more than it's stock 291hp. The driver gets a good start - so he's either rowing through a 6-speed or he's taking advantage of launch control on the SST. Either way, the car does a very respectable 10.77 seconds @ 125mph.

Watch the World's Fastest Evo X do it's thing at the drag strip.

$1 million ZR1 #0001

$1 million ZR1 #0001

GMnext100 is proud to share this video of the first ZR1 rolling off the line in Bowling Green, KY and being picked up by it's lucky owner.

Well, we say lucky, what we really mean is rich! Or perhaps that's now poor, given the dude shelled out $1 million to buy the rights to car number 00001 at the Barrett-Jackson car auction.

But hey, the money went to a good cause - the United Way - and Mr. Dave Ressler is evidently mighty pleased with his purchase. We're not sure the horsepower-dollar ratio is a very good one at that price but some guys just have to have #1. Good for you, Dave!

Twin Turbo Vette

Twin Turbo Vette

Some nice American Muscle in this video from ChargerRTZ

We love the irony of someone putting a "SPD KILZ" license plate on a Corvette Z06 and then doing 100mph runs in the car. Classic! Of course, that's literally half of this car's performance but you still get to ride shotgun as the car guns it to a tonne, then blows off some steam on the dyno for a total RWHP of 548.

The Z06 goes up against an '02 Z06 that's had some work done, a Cobra and an '06 Z06. See who gets to go home bragging in the Twin Turbo Vette vid.

To see the Z06 in some seriously high-octane company, check out the Ehra Lessien Top Speed Shoot Out The voiceover's in German, but we don't think you're going to care.

LG Motorsports Coil Over Shock Test

LG Motorsports Coil Over Shock Test

LGMotorsports is a Corvette and LSX modification shop based in Dallas, TX and it competes in the ALMS GT2 class with a C6 Corvette.

They're very proud of their parts and aren't afraid to put their money where their mouth is: i.e., show us that their stuff really works!

We don't know many people who'd happily run their car over a 6 x 6 piece of wood, 6 times, just to prove a point. And on their own race car, no less! But, as you'll see, their coil over shock is just as strong and well-built as they say it is. Alas, the stock wheel doesn't fare too well.

Episode 15: Meet The Twins

Episode 15: Meet The Twins

I was a bit caught off guard to find a guy who looks like he could be the illegitimate son of Elvis behind the wheel in this episode of BIKINIDRIVINGSCHOOL.

Usually, it's the illegitimate boobie-clones of Pamela Anderson and Jenna Jameson, giving the car of choice a clean rub down!

Then I realized in the side bio of the video, that it was "... at the request of fans, this week, we switch things up a bit by doing a more thorough review of the car."

Hmmm... well to be honest, it's a fantastic video! Great shots of the, sunshine-yellow, Porsche 997 GT3, and there is awesome usage of car and babe a like! But I say stick to the original version... I don't want to see that guy in a bikini some episodes down the road from now!

Mean Truck Prank

Mean Truck Prank

Something tells me you don't want to piss off the guy who pulled this "prank."

Don't ask questions... because I don't know either! Is it real... or fake? Who knows... but the truck isn't fake. And by isn't I mean wasn't, because this poor little old pick up is sleeping with the fishes now!

Watching the video a second time, you have to applaud EXT for posting... I mean, it is damn entertaining.. I'm just not sure how to react to it!

Can I laugh out loud without having to worry about Karma smacking me in the back of the head?

Or should I feel sorry for whom ever that, soon-to-be coral infested, pick-up belonged to?

F*** it! Watch in Mean Truck Prank and enjoy the fact that it's not YOUR pick up!

15 People in a Smart

15 People in a Smart

What do you get, when you squeeze 15 people into a Smart???I don't know...I can't decide if this video's Smart or UnSmart (badoom-tsh!) Thank you! I'll be here all week!

No, but seriously...
This car wasn't built for the, wanna-be eco-friendly hippies or celebrities who are trying to save the world like Angelina Jolie... It was built for Cirque Du Soleil clowns!

No, but SERIOUSLY...I got the chance to drive one of the first 2008 Smart's in the US, and you would be surprised how spacious it is in there! Not to mention it stands 5 feet tall, 5 feet wide, and nearly 9 feet long. You could probably fit that car in your room, let alone 15 people!

Don't believe me? See for your self! Watch 15 People Crammed Into A Smart Car.

And mad props go to EXT, for sharing wth us, this... uhm... educational video!
Now, I wonder what the outcome would be like if the 15 people stuffed like sardines into that Smart were to be in a side impact crash. You too huh?Check outNHSTA side impact crash to get a rough idea. Enjoy!

The Hoff on American Top Gear!

I have to admit I was skeptical they could pull it off, but after attending the taping of the Top Gear pilot I have to say I'm a believer. First, the set was perfect, walking into the Top Gear hanger created a wave of familiarity, but most importantly was the welcome atmosphere from the producers and talent. Andy Williams gave a great plug to the "Final Gear Mafia" and Adam Corolla commented "Now I'm sure you all can't wait to get home and talk about how terrible the show is, but we've locked the door and barricaded you in, so too bad!" All good joking aside, the crew made it clear they understand how important British Top Gear is and how big the task they have ahead of them.

To kick things off, taping started with "a celebrity in a reasonably priced car", and no less than David Hasselhoff was the first to take the Kia Rio around the new Top Gear track. Adam didn't cut The Hoff much slack, and the segment was pretty funny. The rest of the show followed the traditional Top Gear formula, from a cheap car contest to an exotic car test. Is this forumla good enough to get the series picked up? I think so, it's time to ditch "Dancing with a CSI Idol" and start making some great TV, and Top Gear is the perfect thing to break the broadcast malaise we have today.

Congrats to the American Top Gear crew, and congrats to the Final Gear community for keeping them honest. If the producers continue to respect and listen to the feedback of your forum, I know this show will see nothing but success.

The Exotic & Rare Edonis Supercar

The Exotic & Rare Edonis Supercar

Grazie to KingKnight for this exotic upload.

We love the idea of roaring through the Italian countryside in a rare and exotic car that most people have never even heard of!

Get a look at, and then ride along in, the Edonis Supercar. It was created by B Engineering and is based on the Bugatti EB110 Super Sport. It's got a Twin Turbocharged DOHC V12 producing 680HP @ 8000 rpm & 543 lb-ft of Torque @ 3200 rpm.

And it sounds fan-bloody-tastic! Take a ride along some deserted Italian roads and enjoy some seat time in the Edonis Supercar

Two Wheel Drive With Tire Change!

Two Wheel Drive With Tire Change!

GrindTV has brought us something new...and we don't get to say that very often!

We're not sure who we're more impressed by in this video, it's really a close call. Obviously, getting a car up on two wheels and driving it like that takes skill and practice.

But then there's the little man who climbs out the rear window and changes the rear tire that's in the air! WTF? Putting the car up on the jack wasn't an option, then?

We can't really tell from the quality of the video, and we certainly don't want to generalize, but does this not scream Japanese game show to you?

We dare you not to be impressed by the Two Wheel Drive With Tire Change! video.

680 AWHP Talon vs. Ricers

680 AWHP Talon vs. Ricers

Speeds8erM1 has been out playing with some 2-wheeled friends and, luckily for us, took his camera.

Just because you've got 4 wheels and weigh 3 times as much, doesn't mean you can't show those jokers on 2-wheels that they need to go get some more horsepower.

The 680 AWHP 1991 Talon in this vid is heavily modded and ready to kick some ricer ass. The modded 2005 R1 seems to able to hang, but the guys on the Gixxer 750, the ZX-636 and the CBR 1000RR get no bragging rights on this night.

If the turnout for this ride is anything to go by, it's a popular past time in NY! Various Vipers, Porsches, Ferraris, Corvettes, BMWs, a Quattroporte and, of course, the LP560-4 hit the road as the sun goes down and the engines rev up.

GT-R R35 vs. C6 Z06

GT-R R35 vs. C6 Z06

We want to say thanks to cammedLs1 for bringing us this video but we're not really sure what we just saw.

Well, fine, it's a C6 Z06 vs. a GT-R R35 going head-to-head on the street. And while it's shot in Oman, we're pretty sure all that oil money could pay for a few more street lights so we could get a better idea of just what the hell is going on!

See what happens as American Muscle goes up against Japanese Engineering from 60kph, 80kph, a standing start and finally 180kph. From what we can tell, the U.S. of A. whups some serious ass! Then again, a dark road, a '3 honk GO signal' and goodness knows who behind the wheel does not exactly make this a conclusive test, so Nissan, don't fret too much, we still love the GT-R.

Wrecked: The Plea

Wrecked: The Plea

If you're a fan of reality TV, you're definitely going to want to keep an eye on Wrecked , the new series that just debuted on SpeedTV.

You sort of feel sorry for the people who are stranded by the side of the road, waiting for help, less so for those trying to lie their way out of getting towed for parking illegally, like in this video. Luckily for the chick, the dude's pretty nice about it, but we're pretty sure you can look forward to plenty of cursing, crow bars and general violence in future episodes!

Two GT-Rs get pitted against each other in this Time Attack video. Does the new kid on the block have the upper hand in this battle? We don't know! Well, not for sure, anyway. But one look at how that R35 handles the turns in this Time Attack and we're pretty sure the latest generation of this must-have ride kicked some serious ass out there on the track.

Vinny's Coupe

Vinny's Coupe

denmah thinks this video is worth sharing and we tend to agree!

This is Vinny's Coupe and he's done a bit of work to it, with a little bit of help from PSI Motorsports.

Get a good look at the car and then check out its numbers on the dyno. We think this coupe gets a Gold Star for "Most Improved Performance". Before 24psi is deployed the car's making a 'paltry' 819hp and 728lb-ft. Yeah, whatever.

Then PSI Motorsports does its magic and, hey presto, see those numbers jump: 1110.9hp and 809.6lb-ft. Now that's what we're talking about! Let's get that baby out on the street and see what she'll do.

The stars of this video are a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder and an Aston Martin Vantage and yes, we're pretty bloody envious of whoever's behind the wheels of these cars.

The camera mounted on the rear of the Lambo not only gives us a great view of the AM behind, but also of the rear spoiler deploying and, of course, fantastic aural accompaniment from the engine and exhaust. No wonder they call Miami a playground!

So it's an AWD Supercar, who cares? Doesn't mean you can't crank the wheel, shove your right foot to the floor and get spinning. The driver does a fine job of keeping the R8 nice and tight as it negotiates a series of donuts. Not too sure about the state of the tires after that playtime but hey, makes for a sweet vid.

Apparently this car is stock with only an ASR Engineering Gen II exhaust. Whatever the hell they've done to it, it goes like a rocket and sounds awesome, too. Only problem with shooting in Florida, though, is it's all too straight. Guys, get those cars to some corners and then we'll really have something to talk about.

Car Crash Is Woman's Fault!

Women Causes Car Crash
Z4ME is evidently a fan of the Renault Clio series in Europe. Thank God someone was paying attention or we might have missed this near crash video.

Racing requires dedication, skill and focus. Unfortunately, the driver in this video seems to be lacking a bit of that third quality, although we're not sure we can blame him.

You know how it is: you're driving a fast lap, keeping your opponents at bay, approaching the straightaway and glance to your right to make sure there's no "Pit Now" message from your crew. What you probably don't expect is a rather nice pair of bare breasts being flashed right at you. Poor guy never stood a chance.

Bullrun: Joe's Burnout

Bullrun: Joe's Burnout

In case you've been living on Mars and aren't familiar with Bullrun , this video gives you a good idea of what Bullrunners like to do to pristine hotel parking lots.

Slick cars + slick pavement = perfect burnout opportunity. Joe, a laid-back sort of chap, shows you don't even need to extinguish your cancer stick before laying down some rubber in a series of screeching donuts. Good effort!

See Joe's Burnout

Paris Hilton: Bullrun Flag Girl



We're not ashamed to proclaim our love for all things Bullrun

This clip is from the Hollywood Blvd start of the 2005 Bullrun Rally. Two intrepid Bullrunners try to persuade the official flag girl, some chick called Paris, that she should drop all her many responsibilities and jump into their car for the rally.

Paris, ever the diplomat, said she would have loved to but she's a bit busy and can't spare the time to drive hell-for-leather across the country. Probably too busy making some personal videos or something...

Meet the Bullrun Flag Girl

New M3 ALMS Racer Breaks Cover

New M3 ALMS Racer Breaks Cover

rawky takes us behind the scenes to check out the progress of BMW's new M3 racer, destined for the ALMS (American Le Mans Series).

Question: how many engineers, mechanics and generally automotively-minded guys does it take to get the new M3 running smoothly on the track? Answer: a lot!

This car has been in development for over a year and we're sure that represents a lot of $$$ in R & D...but then no one ever said that's racing's cheap.

Follow along as the New M3 Racer Breaks Cover

Bullrun: Thunderbird Jet vs. Murcielago

Bullrun: Thunderbird Jet vs. Murcielago

More road rally hi-jinks from our friends over at Bullrun

You know how it is, you're driving along in your Lamborghini Murcielago, tired of running with the other exotics, looking for something a bit more challenging by way of a speed competitor, and the perfect opponent appears over the horizon.

It seems the decommissioned Thunderbird Jet has a little bit more thrust than the V12 Lambo, but it still makes for an awesome match up.

Oh, and of course, we can't forget his Mommy calling right before the head-to-head is about to begin. No Mommy, of course I'm not speeding...

Watch the Thunderbird Jet vs. Murcielago

This is the 725HP Kenne Bell version and this particular car was spotted up in Canuck-land. Get a good look at the car's mean-looking lines and take a peek under the hood while it's running.

Street Signs No Match For Hummer

Street Signs No Match For Hummer

Thanks to shattax for sharing this one-sided fight video with us.

We're not convinced the front bumper, windshield or even roof on this Hummer will be in great shape after this driver is done, er, redecorating his local road, but it sure is fun to watch!

Street signs - so many of them and they never have anything good on them. It's always "don't do this or we'll tow your ass and you'll have to spend xxx to get your ride back".

Graffiti is one way to show your true feelings towards these blight on the landscape or, better yet, just drive over them! We're not sure where Tommy & His 4-Wheeler reside but they're welcome to come and clean up our town anytime!

For more fun, watch as John Wrecks A Street Bike and gets introduced to road rash. Evidently, "let the clutch out slowly" isn't really enough instruction for a first-time rider on a sportbike. Did someone say stupid?
