    Indy 500 Polesitter Ryan Briscoe Drives The Corvette ZR1 Pace Car: Video

    Ask any driver in the Indy 500 if they’d like additional track time, in any car, and we’d bet the answer is yes. When Chevy tossed the keys to the Corvette ZR1 pace car to Indy 500 polesitter Ryan Briscoe, we’re pretty sure the Team Penske driver didn’t need any further...

  • EV West's electric BMW M3 Pikes Peak Hill Climb car

    Soon, you’ll be able to add one more thing to Boris Said’s extensive racing resume: Pikes Peak Hill Climb veteran. Said will compete behind the wheel of a BMW M3 in this year’s event, but it isn’t just another race-prepped BMW that the NASCAR driver will be piloting. The M3 that Said will drive on his race to the clouds is an electric-car conversion, built by EV West. In race trim, it’s estimated that the car will send around 700 horsepower to the rear wheels, which is approximately 300 more horsepower than seen in the video above. It’s probably a good...

  • 2013 Ford Taurus SHO

    A car that does it all: hauls the family, gets you to work, and happily handles, even excels at, a weekend track day. That's kind of the holy grail for many car enthusiasts. Ford thinks the 2013 Taurus SHO Performance Package is that car. While the back seat in the new Taurus is a bit tight, and it's a heavy car in performance terms, but the 365-horsepower 3.5-liter turbocharged V-6 engine is just right. The Performance Package upgrades the cooling, brakes, steering, traction control, and suspension to be track-worthy without being punishing on the street, according to Ford. What do you...

    Behind The Scenes At Porsche Classics: Video

    If you own a late-model Porsche, having work done is usually as easy as driving down to your dealership. Own a classic Porsche, especially something as exotic as a Porsche 959, and the “where to go for service or restoration” question gets a bit more difficult. Enter Porsche Classics, a...

  • JDM Legends' Skyline GT-R coupe.

    In 1969, Nissan introduced a car that would go on to become the stuff of legend and (eventually) lead to the development of the modern Nissan GT-R. Called the Skyline GT-R (for Gran Turismo Racer), it was launched in sedan form but later offered as a two-door coupe beginning in 1971. First generation Skyline GT-Rs, like the car in the video above, were powered by a 2.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine, good for 160 horsepower in stock trim. The original drivetrain layout was front-engine, rear drive, and all-wheel-drive didn’t appear in the Skyline GT-R until the third generation...
