What do bodacious booth babes and SUV sized sports tires have in common? Absolutely nothing except for the fact that they're all under one roof in Vegas this week. Yes folks, the magic of Sema makes it all possible. Day two coverage delves into carbon fiber body panels, a WRX police car, 300+ hp RSX turbo kit, and a host of SUV performance products. And don't forget the corporate spokespeople.
Word has it that the new Ford GT will not, as is becoming more typical with high
The buzzword at Sema this year is D.R.I.F.T. You have your import
It seems that Honda's finally decided to try it's luck in the compact truck
Let this be a lesson to you - it always pays to wait. For those of you who shelled out the dough for the garden variety GTO, this is your cue to slam your fist on your keyboard in disgust. The Ram Air 6 Concept introduced this week at SEMA is what the GTO should have been. Where the standard Goat (dare I use the moniker? ) looked like a mildly worked over grand-am with two doors, the Ram Air 6 has the subtlety of Pee Wee Herman on Ritalin. Functional scoops, lids, lips, go
While not too common, epilepsy puts people around you in danger if you happen to be wielding 3000 pounds of car. In the land down under, a senior public affairs officer experienced an epileptic fit just before his vehicle pushed a sedan across the median onto oncoming traffic - resulting in three deaths. We're not sure about laws abroad, but doctors in the U.S. are required to report epileptic conditions to the DMV, which in turn will suspend your license indefinitely. Urge to m

The Mazda H2RE will technically travel the claimed distance - on dual fuel tanks.
What's that you say? Big powerful rear drive sports car get it's rear out from behind you? Simply countersteer and feather the throttle until you have the slide under control. Then try to clip the apex as sideways as possible, as fast as possible, until the judges scream in delight. Oh wait, that was when I was playing Gran Turismo 3 last night. For those who don't have the dual shock analog controller prowess that I possess, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reports that st
Able to outrun a Carrera GT, Pagani Zonda, or Murcielago to 60 from a dead stop, the new Evo VIII MR FQ400 is another example why it's wrong for a car with so many doors and so few cylinders to exude this much performance. With a planned production run of only 100 units, the FQ400 will feature some new body work in the form of a front lip and rear apron as well as enough upgrades under the bonnet to produce 405bhp and 355 lb/ft of torque. All this will slingshot the sedan t
What is it about paying $2.50 a gallon to haul five thousand pounds of rollover prone SUV (kudos to you if you're into that sort of thing) that appeals to Americans? While people in other parts of the world are looking to smaller cars that move more people, SUV registrations in Alabama have risen 79% between 1997 and 2002. The reason? Women with kids want to lose the soccer-mom-with-a-minivan look. The numbers? 450,000 SU
It's official - the SRT-10 was designed as a way for Viper owners to tow their vehicles to
