2012 Nissan GTR to boast 500 Horsepower

Well it looks like Nissan will be turning up the heat with the 2012 GTR. Boosting the power to 500 horsepower, 27 more horsepower than last years Nissan GTR. Godzilla could become king of the road if GM, Mopar and Ford do not step up their game.

Ken Block races his Ford Fiesta in Gymkhana 3

Ken Block takes us on a roller coaster ride in his newly suped up Ford Fiesta in Gymkhana 3. The stunts and crazy maneuvers Ken Block performs in this video are intense man. This is something you would never do with any ordinary race car. My head just feel awkward and unbalanced after watching it, I bet Ken Block gets the ultimate rush while doing this. I've never seen something so insane in my entire life, only with cars!!!

2011 Nissan GT-R Video Review

Godzilla is back, the 2011 Nissan GT-R is just one bad ass tuner car. Auto Week gives a great review of the beast in the video down below. Auto Week editors Mac Morrison and Jon Wong offer their own views behind the wheel. The base price of the 2011 Nissan GT-R is $85,060. The GT-R is pushing out 485 horsepower and 434 pound feet of torque out of the 3.8 liter V6, it's all wheel drive too. It's one hell of an engine, all hand built. The GT-R goes 0-60mph in a rush at 3.5 seconds. The car will definitely give the Corvette and Viper a run for its money.

Goldtouch Cosmichrome on Wheels and Rims

Down below is a video of Goldtouch's Cosmichrome system to spray on wheels and rims. It's totally automatic, the results look great at the end of the video. The big question though is will the spray on chrome last long, compared to lets say powder coating and chrome electroplating. I read on Goldtouch's site the Cosmichrome will last a 312 hour salt test, so it must hold up pretty well. I've had chrome plated wheel before and even they have a hard time holding up agains road grime, tar, and dirt. I once bought a set of chrome plated rims from discount tire, had them on my LS1 Chevy Camaro for a month and they started pitting. I really wonder if Cosmichrome will withstand the abuse of driving on the streets. Like I said in a previous post, the only way to find out is probably spray a set of cheap wheels and wear them for awhile. If I ever do, I'll definitely make a video and post about it on here.

Nissan GT-R Caught on Fire

This sure is a sad site to see, you're seeing the aftermath of a Nissan GT-R after it caught on fire. And the weird things is, this car caught on fire after it was locked up in a dealer showroom in Gainsville, Florida. Somehow it caught on fire, investigations are on-going to find out how and why this $90,000 GT-R got Car-B-Que’d. I'm sure the Nissan dealership has car insurance though.

Hyundai Genesis Coupe gets a 5.0L V8 with 429 Horsepower

The 2011 Ford Mustang has just received some competition. The car is the Hyundai Genesis Coupe, just like the Mustang the car is using a 5.0L V8 that is making 429 horsepower and 376 pound-feet of torque. That's 17 more horsepower than the Ford Mustang. Yikes, this has got to be a little embarrassing for Ford. I never even knew Hyundai for making very powerful sports cars, I have to say I'm quite impressed. Even though the Genesis is making more horsepower on the dyno, doesn't meat it can beat it on the track. I for sure would like to see a 1/4 mile race between the two, see what the outcome would be. I for one am routing for the 2011 Ford Mustang, but if the underdog Hyundai Genesis wins I will be impressed even more.

Toyota FT-HS Concept to use Supra Name?

So will Toyota ever come out with a Supra again? Well they just might, and the sporty concept(Toyota FT-HS) they featured last year might get the name. Latest news is Toyota just snapped up the Supra trademark name for another three years. But that may not be enough time to make the car some automotive enthusiasts say. I for one would love to see Toyota make use of the name and the Toyota FT-HS concept. First the concept was just sick and second, the previous Supras were so sweet I think Toyota owes it to us Tuner fans to come out with one again. Maybe it can star in Faster and Furious five!

New Subaru Rally Cars for 2011 X-Games

Subaru has just released their new line of Subaru rally cars for the 2011 X-games. The rally cars will be driven by both Travis Pastrana and Sverre Isachsen. The first car started with a stock 2011 WRX STI, they gutted out the interior and seam-welded the entire chassis and stictching in a full roll cage. The stock gas tank was scrapped for a rally-legal fuel cell, and a fire-suppression system installed in case things go fricassee. Down below, a set of EXE-TC adjustable coilovers were swapped for the stock bits to help the car tackle the varied course of X Games 16. They managed to pull out 500 horsepower and 560 torque out of the screaming beast. As you can see in the picture, the Subaru rally car has no problem getting some air off of a hill.
