But how does it compare to 1,088 electron-induced horses? Matt Rimac...

To that end, he's created a list of his top five best first mods for any vehicle.

Monster 1971 Toyota Celica makes more than 1,100 horsepowerAn old Toyota Celica is a classically cool machine with a healthy cult following.

Here's why winter tires beat all-seasons in the coldYou've heard it probably 300 times just this year alone. You've been hearing it for the past few years as well. When the weather turns frightfully cold, you need to have winter tires on your car. You'll protest and decry that all-seasons get the job done, or that it doesn't matter because you have...

We agree that the internet is largely useless beyond Craigslist throwdowns and videos of things exploding/blending/deconstructing/crashing. Entertaining the masses used to be as simple as popping a high-dollar item into a powerful blender, but now the crowds demand hydraulic presses raining high-pressure destruction upon pretty much anything. This is sort of like the automotive equivalent of that idea. Here we have a brake rotor pushed far harder than it normally would go, and the result is high heat and a violent end. Using an older Ford Fiesta, the team in charge of this YouTube channel pop...

We've seen proof of it before, but now we have even more. You're quite aware of the trio of cars being referred to as the Holy Trinity. One of those three is the LaFerrari. Ferrari claims there's no need for an electric-only mode since it "doesn't fit the mission of the car." Seems it fits the mission just fine if you're a valued customer who wants the unlock code required to access all-electron driving. Musician Jay Kay fits into that box because his bright green LaFerrari was spotted running silently. ALSO SEE: Lamborghini Aventador S revealed with 730 horsepower The car was spied roaring...
