Well, this is a surprise: a tuned Nissan GT-R! OK, not really. The name of the tuning company comes as a surprise, though. I had never heard of Litchfield before this post. I should have, though. Over the years, the company has been “invited to feature in an unprecedented 5 Evo Magazine Car Of The […] More »

It’s a set list that looks a lot more like a season of BBC’s Top Gear than what you’d imagine gets covered with a year of reviews from Car and Driver. Luckily though, this list serves as an awesome reminder to just how diverse of a publication this industry giant is and for what it’s worth, it’s very […] More »

This past weekend, Shift S3ctor held its fourth Airstrip Attack (1/2 mile, side-by-side racing and trap-speed competition) at the New Coalinga Municipal Airport near Fresno, California.
