High Gear Media Editorial Director Marty Padgett spent part of last week in Monterey, California driving the 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 (ah, the perks of sitting in the big chair), and he has reported back to us. His first drive can be found on HGM's luxury/performance site Motor Authority, and...

There are lots of gizmos on the market -- gizmos designed to meet the needs of nearly every consumer. And yet, a handful of consumers are never satisfied. They take matters into their own hands, poking, prodding, and modding until they get what they want, just as they've done for millennia. Now...

Call it a Hi-Riser, or Donk, or Bubble, but whatever it is it looks down right stupid. Nevertheless, one owner of a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro has decided to install these 30-inch ‘dubs’ on their car. Wheels of this size are nothing new and have been seen at auto events and conventions for...

By the time you've settled into lap three around Laguna Seca, the Boss is shouting at you and you don't even care. This isn't your office, so revel in it. This Boss hammers your tympani with a proprietary blend of pleasure and pain--sound familiar?--but none of the kvetching over expense reports or...

We don't run a lot of drag racing material here, but when we do, you know it's special. This is special. Kevin Fiscus has had a killer few days at South Georgia Motorsports Park, running his drag-radial-equipped turbo Mustang successively quicker in each session, trimming his times down to the...

Hollywood is so fickle. One minute, Neve Campbell is all the rage, and the next thing you know, she's doing guest spots on Medium. (Yes, apparently it's still on.) The same rules apply to cars. Not so long ago, Priuses (or Prii) were all the rage; now, they're yesterday's news, upstaged by the...

Stoked about the new 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8? Well, wait no longer: this video walkaround gives you the best look at the car yet, plus a bit of an idea of the hands-on experience. Sure, there are some rough edges in the video, just as there are in the car--the water dripping from the exhaust tips...

This is, without doubt, the best Ferrari FF video yet. Revealing its interior, engine note, and showing it hammering at speed in almost every condition imaginable. Would you drive flat-out through a snowbank? Ferrari does. The official footage also shows the car bombing down dirt roads, flogging...

At last count, there were at least five reasons to love the internet: 1. [REDACTED] 2. Cat videos. 3. The Oatmeal. 4. The lovely and talented High Gear Media family. 5. The opportunity it provides crazy obsessive people to show off their handiwork. And in service of #5 comes news that graphic...

High Gear Media spent the first part of the week out at Laguna Seca testing the 2012 Ford Mustang BOSS 302, and today we have video of executive editor Marty Padgett hitting the track. The full take on the car's handling and performance will be available soon. For now, enjoy the sights and sounds...

Racing video games are often a bit less than realistic. Why? Because racing is hard, and people play games for fun. But Need For Speed's Shift 2 Unleashed is working to mix in a little more of the gritty realism of life on the track. Input from racing drivers like Tommy Milner and Edwards Sandstrom...

You spend all day driving one of the finest road-course machines ever known: a modern Formula One car. At 750-plus horsepower, a shade over 1,400 pounds and capable of braking and turning north of 5 g, the F1 car simply pummels anything that's road-capable, including the vaunted Bugatti Veyron. So...

Leaks, teasers, previews...the Geneva Motor Show is gearing up to a fever pitch this year, and MINI wants to be part of the action. Its entrant to the concept category? The MINI Rocketman Concept. Positioned as a curious "3+1" seater with three doors and a scant 10-foot overall length, the...

We're still waiting patiently for the Focus ST, but in the mean time, Ford is plugging away at promoting the standard car. But that's not the most interesting part of this video. Think what you will about Tanner Foust's role on Top Gear USA (or Battle of the Supercars with Paul "Red Mist" Tracy)...

Today's fourth installment marks the last in BMW's documentary series entitled "Wherever You Want To Go." Entitled, "How We'll Learn To Stop Worrying And Love The Future," the last video segment pushes an optimistic take on what's to come in the world of personal mobility, positing that it might...

The Pagani Huayra, like the Zonda before it, is polarizing in design: some love it, some can't wrap their heads around it. We're huge fans of the engine, the overall profile, and the performance--but not sold on many of the details yet. Whichever camp you belong to, you'll enjoy this footage and...

The Mustang Club of Poland has produced video promoting a 700-kilometer race across the country over four days in June and July. Thirty teams will compete for prizes. If you're curious--and you know you are--then check out the video below. [Jalopnik]

The pint-sized terror that is the Volkswagen Golf24 endurance race car hits the track and wails, over the top of an operatic soundtrack, in this brief video. We want more. At 440 horsepower, with all-wheel drive, and enough fins to give a shark a heart attack, the Golf24 is mean on paper and in...

We brought you some of the first photos and details to hit the Web on the 2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe, and now Mercedes has followed the first volley with an official video detailing the new two-door. Unfortunately you'll have to translate from European, as everything is described in standard...

It's time to gear up for another season of racing. We know we are, and now Corvette Racing is, too, with the first episode in this season's Track To Street series. The big change for this year? Paddle shifters. Now legal in GT2, the paddle-shift setup requires a lot of setup work to handle the...
