When BMW introduced the world to the 335is over a decade ago, this caused quite a stir, not least thanks to wielding a pair of turbos and an optional dual-clutch tranny, with the latter being a first for a non-M3 3 Series. Nowadays, these Bavarian two-doors are still a force to be reckoned with, especially with a little help from the aftermarket industry. So, what happens when such a Bimmer takes on a C7 Chevrolet Corvette Z06?

The Carrera S incarnation of the Porsche 911 is not your usual straight-line racing suspect, with that role going to the Turbo (S). Nevertheless, since the said badge has moved from natural aspiration to twin-turbocharging for the sports car s previous 991.2 generation, we might just see more of these Porsches engaging in the said activities. Case in point with the example we have here, which has been taken to the gym. 4 photos
Now, what type of mods could determine the driver of such a Porsche take on the sprinting sensation that is the 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500?
Before we move forward into this competitive sprinting tale taking place on the street, we have to remind you that such fights are best kept for the safe environment provided by the drag strip.

These days, the future of the muscle car genre is in danger, with the segment s survival being linked to electrification (the recent dissolution of FCA s SRT division under the new Stellantis umbrella certainly didn t lift the spirits). Of course, until we find out more on what the Big Three are planning, die-hard aficionados can enjoy a good old drag race, as the adventure that brought us here is an example as good as any. 4 photos
We re dealing with the rivalry between the Ford Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro, which has been fueling races for over five decades now.

It s no secret that the most recent incarnation of the Ford Mustang GT, with its Gen III Coyote and its ten-speed automatic, makes for a fantastic (drag) racing weapon. So, why would the owner of the 20-year-old Chevrolet Corvette line up against such a pony? 4 photos
The enthusiasts behind the wheel of the C5 Vette in question is the only one that knows the answer to the said question. However, with this generation of the American icon making for a brilliant platform, perhaps the aficionado is planning a serious build and wanted to establish a reference point.

With the 2021 model year sealing the discontinuation of the Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 in favor of the Mach 1, we ll always enjoy an opportunity to keep the retired pony under the spotlights. And the sprinting battle we have here delivers just that. 4 photos
Sure, the GT350 was built with turns in mind, but, for now, we ll focus on seeing the Stang engaging in a straight-line brawl.
You might expect its opponent to be another muscle car, and yet the Blue Oval machine duked it out with the aftermarket sensation that is the 2020 Toyota Supra. While this fight took place on the street, please don t use it as an example and head over to the drag strip when you feel it s your time to race.
