Coming in hot from the left coast is this cool custom Camaro from Timeless Kustoms. Maintaining the nostalgic appearance of a 1969 Camaro is no easy task when everything that makes it go is ultra-modern. Take a gander for yourself. It starts where it starts. The chassis has been modified with a DSE hydroformed subframe in the front and a DSE quad-link setup in the rear. JRI double adjustable shocks, with front and rear reservoirs, adorn all four corners. Stopping duties are handled via a Brembo carbon-ceramic four-wheel disc brake setup with a Wilwood master cylinder. The wheels are 19-inch Read More
We are hitting the streets (of Mexico) this evening as a pair of angry monsters do battle in high-speed roll racing. Climb in, grab something and hold on tight – these modified steeds are ready to lay it all on the line to grab a piece of street racing glory. These guys will be racing between 70 mph and 150 mph. On the left is the bad bowtie. This Corvette Z06 is equipped with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 motor (professionally built) with a high-performance camshaft and cylinder heads. This ‘Vette also has a ported blower and a kit of nitrous Read More
Get a load of this awesome Mustang Fox Body. When you look at this build – the muscular stance, the pristine paint and body work, the sleek lines and the one-off accents – remember that less than a year ago, it was a bare sheet metal hull. That was before the boss (wife) got involved. Once she laid down the law, the project jumped off. Take a look: First impressions take you to the paint job and the custom hood. Car owner, David took care of the paint and body work with his own two hands. He gifted the Mustang Read More
Tonight, we launch out onto the streets (of Mexico) for some roll racing on the interstate. Our video co-stars are a Lexus IS 300 sedan and a Nissan GT-R coupe. Each vehicle has been modified to enhance performance. Buckle-up! In the right lane is the Nissan GT-R. It comes from the factory with a twin turbo 3.8-liter V6 engine that can make up to 600hp. As the flagship of the Nissan lineup, the stock GT-R can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.0-seconds and turn the standing quarter-mile in 11.2-seconds @ 121 mph. The all-wheel drive Nissan GT-R tips Read More
While I can only speak for myself, it seems that one of the true joys of life (for your average gearhead) is cramming a powerful V8 motor into a small and lightweight vehicle. It ain’t always easy but it’s fun and – if it turns out right – it’s fast. Have a look at what Kevin Nault has done with this old Datsun (Nissan). It all begins and ends in Kevin’s garage; from the low and slow exhaust note to the slippery fast Atomic Orange paint. Kevin began this impressive build by removing the body from the frame for a Read More
We are headed back to the street for feisty roll racing action in this video. We will be linking up with a pair of modified street monsters with a grudge. Here’s a rundown of the machinery. The rear-wheel drive BMW M3 CS is equipped with a twin turbocharged 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder engine that can churn out 543hp and 479 lb.-ft. of torque at peak RPM. This stock luxury sedan can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.7-seconds and turn the standing quarter-mile in 10.7-seconds @ 129 mph. The transmission is an 8-speed automatic and top speed is 188 mph.

What would one expect to find amid the panoramic backdrops of the great Alaskan wilderness? A No Prep Drag Race, right? That’s precisely what the 1320 Video crew stumbled upon as they frolicked among the giant Kodiak bear, plentiful moose and beautiful caribou. Here’s the rundown: There are two classes competing today. The All-Wheel Drive Class has fourteen entries, and the Rear-Wheel Drive/Front-Wheel Drive Class has seventeen competitors. The entry fee is $100 and typical No Prep rules apply. The first encounter is an all-wheel drive 1989 Honda CRX with a turbocharged 2.4-liter motor. With the ability to produce 700hp Read More
Greetings gearheads and welcome to the left coast. That’s right, we are in sunny southern California again where Shawn from Autotopia LA is ready to introduce us to Fernando from Valley Speed Inc. Fernando has put together a 1970 Chevelle SS that’s bordering on perfection. Have a look: The frame and sheet metal are bone stock. The only upgrades to the suspension are drop spindles in front, tubular control arms (front and rear) and coilover shocks on all four corners. Stopping duties are left to a Wilwood four-wheel disc setup with six-piston fronts and four piston rear calipers. One modern Read More
