H2H - '08 Audi TT vs. '08 Mazda RX8

H2H - '08 Audi TT vs. '08 Mazda RX8
Torque TV's been out at Willow Springs Raceway again, pitting two evenly-matched cars against each other to see which one will be victorious.

This episode of Head-to-Head is Audi TT vs. Mazda RX8 , Germany vs. Japan, 200hp 2L Inline 4 turbo vs. 232hp 1.3L Rotary 2. Should be interesting.

As ever, Sam Hubinette is having way too much fun throwing these cars around the track, giving his opinion on the TT's red leather and revving the RX8 to 9,000rpms...which may or may not have fried it!

For a Mazda with a whole lot of zoom zoom, check out this V8 Miata

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.

Challenger Drift Day



Here at Streetfire.net we're dedicated to bringing you the best tire-smoking videos...and sometimes that means we just gotta make them ourselves!

It's a job, but someone's gotta do it, right? Yeah, it was a tough day out at Willow Springs Raceway: just us, some pro drivers and the all-new 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 at our disposal.

New car + RWD + large amounts of horsepower + open asphalt = major drifting.
As part of our Challenger Week , we're putting this new Muscular beast through its paces and bringing you along for the ride.

You'd never know from watching this video that drifting an automatic is a bit of a bitch. Just gotta fight those upshifts and keep on gliding, smoke billowing and rubber burning around every turn.

Yeah, like we said, it was a really tough day...

We're pretty sure you weren't stupid enough to miss the first video of our Challenger Week series, but just in case, here's the Challenger Bikini Car Wash for you to enjoy.
