XCAR got their hands on a Ford GT40, a Ford GT70 rally car and a Ford GT. And, for some reason, they decided to drag race them. Sometimes “because they can” is a good enough reason. It should be pretty obvious which car would win, though the Ford GT40 was not helped by the guy […] More »

We all know bullies don’t play fair. The Nissan GT-R is the bully of the car world. It costs about $100,000, but it offers $250,000-worth of performance, and gives wedgies to just about every other fast car on sale. It’s not fair, and that’s why we love it.

No question, the 930’s descendant is […] More »

We love the 911. We also love the GT-R. Even since Nissan unleashed godzilla on the automotive world, their target has been the 911. That rivalry first played itself out on the Nurburgring, and now on the drag strip. The Porsche has been worked over by the power hungry tuners at Switzer. They’re no strangers […] More »
