This Fast Ford Impressed U.K. Enthusiasts. U.S. Enthusiasts, Sadly Not So Much - Jalopnik (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In a global economy, the cars offered in the U.S. market are often seen across the rest of the world — and particularly the enthusiast models. The Porsche 911, for example, is much the same here as it is in Europe, and the same goes for the Volkswagen GTI, save for a few select trims. Irritatingly, Europe gets the current fastest front-wheel drive production car on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, the GTI Edition 50, but for some reason, we do not. But I digress. The point is that most performance
This May Be The Rarest (And Weirdest) Mercedes-AMG Model Ever Made - Jalopnik (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Aufrecht, Melcher, and Großaspach — or, as we all know it as, AMG — is known for its rich history in hot-rodding a good chunk of the Mercedes catalogue, but one might be surprised by how far its metric-wrench-adorned hands have extended in the past. Long before it was absorbed by Mercedes-Benz and officially entitled Mercedes-AMG, the company was truly left to its own devices, ready to upfit anything. Especially if it had a big motor under its hood, ready for its "one man, one engine" plan-of-ac
What Sort Of Entertaining Damage Happens When You Replace Engine Oil With WD-40? - Jalopnik (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are few testing methods more entertaining than those that include a cheap beater. When it's a car that you simply don't give a dang about in any way, shape, or form, why not use it to test certain common consumer products to the extreme? That's exactly what the crew behind the YouTube channel Life OD did, running an experiment to find out if an engine would survive having its oil replaced with good ol' WD-40 — a product that was originally designed to prevent missiles from rusting and does
Ford's Modular V8s Are Super Common, Except For This Rare Engine From 2000 - Jalopnik (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every American automaker has its own well-regarded series of modern V8 engines. GM's got the LS (who doesn't love the LS2 and LS3?), Mopar loves its Pre-Eagle and Eagle Hemi, and Ford's own creation is the Modular V8. What first kicked off in the 1991 Lincoln Towncar has morphed into a real monster in the latest S650-generation Mustang, particularly under the hood of the Dark Horse where its 5.0 liters of displacement produce 500 horsepower at 7,250 RPM. This overhead camshaft design has been un
Why California Bans Forward-Facing Red Lights On Cars - Jalopnik (opens the original)
Read excerpt
People love to pile on California for its restrictions on automotive modification, especially when it comes to the California Air Resources Board (CARB) — the same folks who regulate California's funny-looking gas pumps — legislation pertaining to aftermarket intake, exhaust, and ECU tunes. As long as these parts are homologated to CARB standards, no problem — but if they're not, they could spell trouble when trying to pass emissions testing or potentially earn their owners a ticket from law enf
