Retro is all the rage. Visit your friendly neighborhood car lot and see for yourself: mile-long hoods hiding powerful V8 engines, outlandish horsepower and torque-twisting fat rear tires, evocative aesthetics recalling legendary nameplates. There’s no denying it—we’re up to our dipsticks in a hot-rod renaissance. For Ed Greaves, this retro resurgence has been a long
[portfolio_slideshow id=40863] Let’s jump right in and see what’s happening in this episode of our Miata makeover: We welded thick reinforcement braces in the engine bay. These braces are designed to add strength and support back to the firewall area we modified to fit our LS3. We mounted a 3.42-geared Getrag Cadillac CTS-V differential in
February’s edition of Top 10 Fan Rides features a few vehicles you’ve seen and others you probably never have, and might never again. A Blazer with snow tracks? A classic Mustang Wagon?? You might do a double-take when you scroll down the page. Summit Racing’s Facebook fans sure did, but that didn’t stop them from

On any given day or time, the lot outside a Summit Racing store can turn into an impromptu mini car show, depending on who’s stopped by the store.

Come to think of it, what makes someone chop, shave, and out-and-out hot rod a VW Bus? We like to call it pure genius. That’s the short answer, at least. If you’d like to hear

That means the parking lots around here are more likely to be inhabited by snow plows and trucks than hot rods and muscle cars. Luckily, we have stockpiled a few parking lot finds from warmer days, so we’ll have new Lot Shots
It’s a new year. But we haven’t forgotten about December. You shared your vehicles on Summit Racing’s Facebook page, and your engagement has determined the top Fan Rides. Here are the Top 10 rides that earned the most likes and shares on Summit Racing’s Facebook page and mobile app during the month of December. We
