With an aftermarket offer that s as diverse as they get and cameras linked to popular social media accounts lurking in every corner, taking your factory-condition machine to the drag strip has become more difficult than ever. As such, you can always expect a modded machine to show you its taillights, with the internet out there watching. And the Chevy truck we have here is a perfect example of such a threat. 6 photos
This truck was born as a 1995 K1500, with the Z71 stickers on the side of the 4WD machine s bed meaning we can expect an off-road package, at least theoretically. Nevertheless, the Golden Bowtie machine has been converted for drag strip duties and now loves to challenge muscle cars, among others.

Honda/Acura made a risky bet with the second-generation NSX, as the hybrid powertrain marked a serious departure from the pure driving experience of the 1990s original, whose lightweight setup allowed the icon to make the most out of its midship configuration. As such, many enthusiasts still lust for the Gen I NSX, so this rendering, which brings the modern classic up to contemporary design standards, shouldn t come as a surprise. 6 photos

Just earlier this week, Elon Musk once again turned to Tweeter, letting it slip that the delays concerning the arrival of the Tesla Model S Plaid are behind us, with the tri-motor madness set to land on June 3. However, until the 1,020 hp beast arrives, drivers of what is currently the most potent incarnation of the electric sedan continue to put the 690 hp Model S Raven to drag racing work.

And, as you ll see, the French driver stays true to those words, as he spends plenty of time at the racetrack, rather than being confined to the wheelchair, be it the Nürburgring, Spa-Francorchamps, or some other high-profile track on the Old Continent.
From the outside, nothing sets his Crayon-dressed 991.2 GT3 RS aside from the factory configuration. However, as we take a peek inside the Rennsport Neunelfer, we ll notice the custom hand controls.

When discussing a rendering showcasing an aftermarket-touched incarnation of the brand-spanking new 2022 F-150 Lightning earlier today, we wondered if the otherwise uber-promising newcomer can justify the final part of its badge. And we are now back with another pixel work, which brings the electric pickup closer to what the Lighting moniker used to mean. 4 photos
Introduced for the 1993 model year, the original F-150 SVT Lightning, with its 240-hp 5.8L V8, made for a sweet road-oriented performance truck. However, the model most gearheads dream of when the nameplate is mentioned is the 1999-2004MY successor, which came with a supercharged 5.4L V8 producing up to 380 ponies.
