Speaking with an accent akin to my own, the iconic band known as Lynyrd Skynyrd said they were headed “Down South Jukin’ and looking for some peace of mind”. These crazy South Texas gearheads are after anything but peace. It’s pandemonium they seek in the form of a Mini Texas Cash Days (about a dozen cars) on the streets (of Mexico). Shall we investigate further? Walking past a turbo LS swapped BMW, our initial encounter is with a man in a Silverado pickup. He’s running a 408 cubic-inch V8 motor with aftermarket cylinder heads and a 98-millimeter turbocharger. The automatic Read More ..read more

Top speed is 190 mph and this Read More ..read more

It’s drag racing time in the Sunshine State, and we have Limpy on the Light. That means Cash Days and some head-to-head digs from the deepest, darkest remotes of swamp country. Get ready for sand in your craw and race fuel in your nostrils as the 1320 crew checks out Gator Crossing Cash Days. The first competitor we run into is Possum. I call him that because of the way he talks about his ride. “Oh, it does alright” he says about his twin turbo LS swapped Fox Body Mustang. This car looks to do a bit more than alright.

We are getting back out there on ‘dem streets tonight. What we have is a grudge race – of sorts – between two skillfully modified Chevy muscle cars. Hang on to your hats when these guys get ready to rumble. They sound like thunder and move like lightning. As the flagship of the GM lineup, the Corvette Z06 claims to be king of the Chevys. His crown is a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 capable of making 650hp and 650 lb.-ft. of torque (in stock trim). The C7 (2014-2019) Z06 in this video is equipped with an automatic transmission. It has also Read More ..read more

Tonight, we are jumping on the interstate (in Mexico) for some heads-up roll racing. Cars with 1,000+ HP are in attendance and prepared to throwdown in the cool night air. Grab ahold of something and hang on tight – it’s about to be pandemonium. The first race of the evening is between a Toyota and a Ford.  A mid-engine roadster, the Toyota MR2 is outfitted with a K20 2.0-liter Honda engine (fully built) and a 7275 turbocharger. It can make approximately 1,000hp. This Toyota is rocking a sequentially shifted PPG Dogbox transmission. He will be rolling out against a Ford Read More ..read more

In a rare occurrence of daytime street racing, we have a radically modified Honda Civic taking on a gently massaged Ford Mustang GT. Let’s skip directly of the stars of this show (the cars). First up is one of the ugliest imports you will ever see. This Honda Civic coupe looks like a cobbled-up mess. The rear bumper is MIA, and the paint is horrific. Where this car shines is under the hood. The tiny four-cylinder has been removed and a 3.2-liter J32 motor takes its place. Maintaining the front-wheel drive platform of the original Civic, the plenum of the Read More ..read more

We are taking it back to the streets – of Mexico – this evening for a factory grudge match. The format will be a 60 mph arm drop by a passenger. Acceleration will commence. Whoever reaches 200 mph first (or closest) wins. In the right lane is a beast of a C7 (2014-2019) Chevrolet Corvette Z06. The Z06 package denotes a supercharged 6.2-liter engine that can churn out 650hp and 650 lb.-ft. of torque (stock). Modified with blower pulley upgrades, exhaust headers, an E50 fuel tune and a methanol injection system, this Corvette is substantially faster than stock. It certainly Read More ..read more

It is imports versus domestics in this high intensity showdown on the streets of Mexico. Chevys, Fords, Nissans, BMWs and Toyotas have been purpose-built to take on the streets. Now, they are fueled-up, tuned-up and ready to roll as the fourth watch of the night ascends. Giddy-up! The first race of the evening pits a pair of Mustangs against one another. The red car is turbocharged, and the white car has a Paxton blower. A countdown erupts as the cars pull alongside and synchronize speed. Suddenly, both cars accelerate wildly and lunge ahead.  Oops!
