Dubai GTR makes 8.1 second quarter mile pass.

Posted on

Damn my neck hurts just watching it! These GTR’s are knocking down the times. This one is still All-Wheel and it is not tubbed. As a street car, this monster would hurt feelings and be quite the “Pull up at the track” threat! That is a 1.29 60′ on that 174mph pass, in case you were wondering. Watch it after the click….

Pepsi Max and Jeff Gordon make Test Drive part 2!!

Posted on

Pepsi Max has been all over the net with their Uncle Drew series, a favorite of ours where NBA All Star Kyrie Irving and others are in full costume to prank unsuspecting bystanders. It is quite hilarious. They also have a series with legendary Nascar driver Jeff Gordon. In the last episode, Jeff goes to a dealership for a test drive and has the salesman about piss himself. This time, Jeff and Pepsi get directly back at the internet, going after Travis from one of our favorite sites Jalopnik!

Kevin Mullins Mustang is the fastest Radial Tire car!

Posted on

Screen Shot 2014-02-27 at 6.52.21 AM

Kevin’s Twin Turbo SN95 car is one fast beast! Recently at DuckxPromotions Lights Out event at South Georgia Motorsports Park Kevin clocked a 4.113@194 on 315 Drag Radials. I will pause while you ponder on how fast that is. This car has a 4.0 in it all day, and it has a ton of power. Great job to Kevin, Crew, and DuckxPromotions!

From the build up of this car, as if one was not enough, stack 2 of those  turbos.

We wish Kevin the best for this season. This car has been a while coming, and this 4.1 is just the tip of the iceberg!

Fabricators Series: Ron Bergenholtz.. What is Fabrication?

Posted on

Screen Shot 2014-02-10 at 4.08.39 PM

Ron is no stranger to the world of motorsports. He knows a thing or 2 about Fabrication owning both a successful drift team and one of the most historic Import Drag teams in history. We recently had a sit down with Ron B. to speak quickly on his thoughts of Fabrication. Sit back and listen. It is great to hear someone speak who isn’t just another critic, but a student of the art. When you love fabrication, you are proud to see it anywhere you can.

1309RWHP 4 door Caddi!

Posted on

Face it, there is not much out there better than the feeling of luxury. To not be in a “racecar” yet still have tons of power on tap has become the new must-have. Street cars are getting faster daily and we cannot get enough of it. SNL Performance gives us what we want with this lude and insane CTS-V claiming “Most powerful CTS-V in the world” at 1309 rear wheel horsepower. Others have came close, but at nearly 3 times the factory engine’s horsepower output this old man’s car sounds like a bully on the street. We hope to see more video soon. Maybe some 2k videos will surface of this car.. you never know!

So enjoy this 170mph pull with us. Crank the volume, too!

FabTime: Super Bowl Lombardi Trophy. How is it made?

Posted on

The Super Bowl. So much hype for this sunday, and for good reason. No need to get into the history of the game or day, we instead want to show you a little bit of behind the scenes. The Wall St Journal filmed a short video showing how the Vince Lombardi Trophy is made. Interesting watch for those like us who will be cramming food on the edge of our seat glued to Super Bowl XLVIII!

…and yes, Tiffany & Co! That is a big ass price tag!

Who are you rooting for?

Mark One: 3D Carbon Printing comes to life!

Posted on

Let us introduce you to the Mark One, the newest 3D printer on the block for all of you Fab-Tech nerds, like us! The Mark One is the worlds 1st printer to hit the market to print Carbon Fiber. When we saw initially we screamed aloud “Take my money now!” This small package packs a punch, and could revolutionize how we think of and use Carbon Fiber, while expanding where the material is used.

 

Carbon fiber is used in almost every field of racing today, along with many applications in both oem and aftermarket platforms. It’s strength can be over 5-10 times the strength of ABS plastics, and have a higher strength-to-weight ratio than machined aluminum. This makes carbon fiber very sought after for a number of reasons- safety, weight, and durability being at the top of the list.

6-second New Generation RX8 makes Rotary Record!

Posted on

Major League of the New Generation camp ran a 6.27 pass at MIR during the World Cup Finals import vs. domestic. This now places The 20b RX8 as the quickest rotary in the world. Also, according to the standings, this should make the low 6-second Mazda the 4th quickest import in history. Great job representing Puerto Rico, too!
