This take on the classic
import vs. domestic war involves machines that have been taken down the aftermarket path, and we ll start with the pony.
It is a 2019 Mustang GT, which means it packs the extremely efficient mix between the Gen III Coyote, a V8 that delivers 460 horsepower in factory form, and the optional ten-speed auto that manages to make the most out of the said muscle.
The 5.0-liter heart of the Blue Oval toy has received full bolt-on goodies, and the treatment includes an E85 setup YouTuber
Can I Be Frank, who brought this adventure to us, seems to mention the name of aftermarket developer CJ Pony Parts when talking about the Stang.

Why would anybody apply the treatment we see here to a Dodge Challenger Hellcat, even in a rendering? one might ask. And, frankly, in today s ever-quirkier custom car landscape, finding a reason for such a build, be it real or virtual, does come easy. 1 photo
With social media brining standout builds to our screens on a daily basis, anybody with an interest in a machine such as the Hellcat, which has been with us since 2014, has seen her/his fair share of tuner rides. However, the approach portrayed in this rendering will obviously stand out, as it has been the case with other unusual stunts of the sort, such as this Hellcat using horse and buggy wheels.

Last month, Texas once again welcomed the annual high-octane fest that is TX2K, and we ve already discussed quite a few stunts coming from the (drag) racing event. However, with more action-packed footage from the event surfacing, we are now back on the topic to bring you an uber-spicy collection of rolling races. 8 photos
Sure, TX2K21 officially took place between March 16 and March 20. However, after all these years of competitive hooning (the event traces its roots to 1999), it s no secret that the participants don t limit themselves to the daytime runs taking place in the safe environment provided by Texas Houston Raceway Park.

Both the Dodge Challenger Hellcat and the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 were introduced for the 2015 model year. And while they re obviously not direct competitors, enthusiasts haven t stopped racing them ever since. That s the case with the adventure we have here, which sees the Vette and the Mopar machine go for a quick brawl. 6 photos
In the Dodge corner, we have a Hellcat Widebody with the six-speed manual. Sure, the clutch doesn t bring the ideal setup for racing, but it didn t stop the driver from taking on that Z06.
And yes, this is a stock example of the muscle car, which means its supercharged 6.2-liter V8 churns out 717 hp (727 PS) and 656 lb-ft (889 Nm) of twist.

Gandini X gravel - how else would you describe the terrain tamer that is the Lamborghini Miura portrayed in the rendering currently sitting on our screens? And yes, there seems to be a method to the madness of turning the vehicle that defined the supercar as we know it today into a contraption that s ready to jump dunes, dance in the snow and tackle whatever obstacle the terrain has to throw at it. 11 photos
For one, jacked-up sportscars looks like they re set to become a serious niche these days (here s the upcoming Porsche 911 Safari as proof). It s not so much that people are preparing for the apocalypse, with the reason for the increasing popularity of the genre actually being related to the increasing demand for customization.
