We fancy ourselves the grease-on-the-hands, budget-minded, weekend warrior types around here. That’s the type of gearhead we typically write for as well.

That’s probably why we spent so much time watching this year’s Barrett-Jackson Westworld of Scottsdale auction on TV.
What a time to be a gearhead! We have 250+ horsepower 4-cylinders and 300+ horsepower sixes. It’s not uncommon for V8 performance motors to tickle 500 horsepower and the top-tier engines in the Camaro, Mustang, and Challenger easily surpass the 500-pony mark. Oh, and it’s worth noting that all of that power comes with unprecedented
I recently bought a really awesome street Camaro with a 355ci small-block, a Super T-10 4-speed, and a 12-bolt with 4.10 gears. The engine runs really great and pulls hard all the way to 6,500 rpm but it has this really bad knock when the engine’s cold. When I first took the car on a

The Summit Racing Show Car Series rolled into Pittsburgh this past weekend for the 57th annual World of Wheels. Spectators were treated to hundreds of show quality hot rods, a Chop Shop fabrication demonstration, the Pedal-Car Challenge build-off, celebrity appearances, and more. Here’s a sampling of what the show had to offer:
Similar to old-school turbochargers, the 2000s took a little while to get going as the world faced new threats, battles and challenges beyond the streets, and racetracks—but get going the Aughts did. While major advancements in safety, fuel economy, and in-vehicle electronics were in the works that would bring about major gains in life-saving traction
