Video: Nissan GT-R Quarter Mile MPH Record 134mph

SSP - Jotech Tuned 10.37@134mph! New MPH Record

Video: Nissan GT-R  Quarter Mile MPH Record 134mph

The record has been set for highest mph for the Nissan GT-R.  SSP and Jotech have put up this video of their record run.  The car is driven by Kenny Tran, and tuning done by Jotech.  Their not too far of from the fastest time of 10.31 set by MVP Motorsports, but given their higher hp output based on their mph record, with a bit of better track conditions they should be able to break yet another record.  Well be following this one closely.  Watch the video after the break.

GM Design Camaro Winners List Leaked!

GM Design SEMA Camaro Winners List

GM Design Camaro Winners List Leaked!

The 2010 Camaro is one of the hottest cars on the scene right now and one that no doubt will be the “it” car at this year’s SEMA Show. Now while anyone can head down to the showroom floor of their local Chevy dealer and pick one of these bad boys up, only a very select few individuals will be chosen by the GM Design Team to build a custom Camaro on behalf of General Motors. In total, eight Camaros will be delivered to the designers that won the design contest with a mix of V6 and V8 model renderings being selected.  More info and list of winners after the break.

Ri-donk-ulous Camaro

I don't even know if we need words for this

Ri-donk-ulous Camaro

For every person that knows how to build a great car, there's probably five more that knows how to ruin one.  Words can't express my initial reaction to this brand new Camaro.  But I guess if I had to sum it all up - ruined.  More photos after the jump, leave your thoughts in the comments!

SEMA Camaro Render

We spotted this over at GM Addiction

SEMA Camaro Render

As the 2009 SEMA Show ticks ever closer, the decision makers at GM have to decide which top car designers are going to receive one of the only seven Camaros to make into their own custom masterpiece. One of the proposal renderings to possibly receive a Camaro is from someone that Cobalt fans have gotten to know very well over the years and one that Camaro fans might soon come to know; that is the folks over at GM Addiction.  Full release and more pics after the break.

FlushNISS G35

This G35 makes me miss my old one!

FlushNISS G35

I ran across this G35 on MY350Z.com and had to post it up on here.  The G35 coupe will always have a sweet spot in my heart since it was the second car I had ever owned.  Not only does this G sit on a perfectly fitted set of wheels, but the unique gold lip with the black center got my brain started on a unique setup for my next set of wheels.  Props to this G35 owner.  One more pic after the break.

Mugen Civic Type R Hatchback

Will this bring back the former glory of the Type-R to Europe?

Mugen Civic Type R Hatchback

The current European Honda Civic Type-R has not shared the same kind of success that the previous Civic Type-R had. In fact, many suggest that the car itself has gone soft and lacks the true spirit of what the Type-R once stood for. That may all change soon thanks to Japanese tuner, Mugen.

Here are some of the first pics of Mugen's upcoming modifications for the European spec Civic Type-R. Not much is known about it right now but initial specs suggest upgraded suspension and 18-inch wheels, giant front splitter and rear wing, huge exhaust, and a power plant putting out 237 bhp and 160 lb-ft.

More pictures after the jump.

VIP Honda Fit

Another beautiful VIP Fit

VIP Honda Fit

VIP styling has been of great interest to us and even though it hasn't caught on over here in the States as well as we thought it would, the few cars that we see are definitely appealing.  This one is clearly not here in the States, but it's slammed stance, wheel package and exterior styling makes for a great mold to follow.  Hopefully this inspires some Fit owners to step up their game.

This proves that Californians will drive to a great Subaru event!

S3: Subaru Summer Solstice

(Orange County, CA) June 15, 2009 – Over 3 months worth of guerilla marketing, forum chatter, and local meet talks, finally culminated to one of the largest Subaru Events to ever form in the resort beachside town of Santa Barbara, CA on June 7th, 2009. S3: Subaru Summer Solstice was conceived as merely an idea among the two originators and then has grown to a very large and successful event.  Rest of the release and photos after the break.
