Both these dudes are packing some serious heat! A pair of import owners have had it up to here with the smack talking and they’re set to hit the streets. They’ll work out their aggression the old-fashioned way – roll racing on the interstates (of Mexico). It’s almost throw-down time. In lane one we have the Nissan GT-R. From the factory this all-wheel drive coupe was equipped with a twin turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 engine capable of producing nearly 600hp. In its current state of modification, this GT-R is doing way better than that. The engine has been professionally built to Read More ..read more

South of the border is where the action is for this clip from 1320 Video. A field of 10 dedicated street racers have made the trip to see who can claim cash and bragging rights in a single elimination shootout. Let’s get a look at some of this pig iron. Right outta the gate, we meet El Gringo. This is an all-wheel drive Chevy Silverado with a pair of Garrett turbochargers feeding a 7.0-liter LS motor. The owner is claiming 1,400 to 1,500hp and – yes – that is a rusty wrap. Next up, we have a “King Ranch” Ford Read More ..read more

This one is for Toby Vitatoe – the king of Kansas City street racing. Toby passed away a few years ago but his memory lives on in the heart of these competitors. With that in mind, let’s get down to where the rubber meets the road – in Mexico. Immediately following the driver’s meeting, the lone Tesla P100 D Plaid was matched up against Carole Baskin in his Ford F-150 with a big block motor and twin turbochargers. The all-wheel drive (electric) Tesla took the early advantage and won by a car length over the rear-wheel drive pickup that failed Read More ..read more

Down South Jukin’ – Texas Cash Days

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

Running on the streets (of Mexico) tonight, we have a shootout between import and domestic. The Chevy is bone stock and the BMW is only slightly modified for performance. Shall we examine the chariots? In white is the 2021 BMW M5 Competition. Equipped with a twin turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine, the all-wheel drive M5 is capable of producing 617hp and 553 lb.-ft. of torque in stock trim. Tipping the scales at 4,237-pounds, this BMW can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.8-seconds and turn the standing quarter-mile in 10.9-seconds @ 128 mph. 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.

The weekend is prime time for street racing and these two competitors are ripe for the action. We have a naturally aspirated Chevrolet Camaro going against a turbocharged Infiniti Q50 sedan. It’s about to get rambunctious on these streets (in Mexico). A luxury Japanese sedan, the all-wheel drive Infiniti Q50 is powered by a twin turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission. Engine composition includes an aluminum block with aluminum cylinder heads in a dual overhead cam configuration with direct fuel injection. The stock Q50 (Red Sport) can manufacture 400hp at peak RPM ..read more

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

Ugly Duckling R32 Swapped Civic vs. Mustang GT – Street Hits

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
