I find it funny that in his recent post on the HKS Premium Day in Japan, Dino Dalle Carbonare mentioned the rainy weather that's been so frequent in his recent Speedhunting ventures. Here in California, my feelings are the opposite. Sometimes there are just too many damn sunny days here.

Snakes, Stallions And Silver Arrows

The 2012 Goodwood Revival paid tribute to a number of iconic motor racing institutions during the 2012 running of the vintage festival, with each of the quartet being intrinsically linked with racing history. The phalanx of pre-war Silver Arrows single-seater behemoths flattened fans each time they took to the track; an unbelievable number of GTOs […]

Time to take a look at a final selection of cars from this year’s Mooneyes Hot Rod & Custom Show, an event that year after year not only continues to get better, but defines how seriously and passionately the Japanese take this scene. I’ve kept the best American rides I came across for this last […]

You know, picturesque rolling hills, pristine beaches, golf courses, historic towns and great winding roads. Check. More specifically, I’m talking about Monterey, California and Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. It’s […]

Hayabusa: The Samurai Of NASCAR

Hayabusa. What do you think of when you hear that word? If you are from Japan you might think of the JAXA spacecraft which bears the name, or the Hayabusa bullet train which speeds between Tokyo and Aomori every day. Gearheads though, will probably think of Suzuki’s ridiculously-fast street bike that’s been scaring the crap […]

Speedhunters is a global operation and we take great pride in being able to bring coverage from all around the world. But this past weekend I couldn’t help but be proud of the good old USA.

An American Dream In Malaysia

I often heard it said that it’s a bad idea to meet your heroes. If you think about it, it’s quite understandable as the human psyche has a strange habit to over sensationalise things that one may have more than a passing attraction to. Be it an idea or theory, a person, a country we have heard great […]

I was exposed to a vast array of automotive culture during my last visit to Malaysia. Variety is definitely what sets Kuala Lumpur apart on so many levels, and when it comes to cars there is one shop tour I’ve been very keen to share with you guys. We’ve already seen the meticulously-built Shelby GT500 […]

Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupés. All Of Them.

There are few things as impressive as seeing a collection of a particular iconic car in one place. It’s made even more special the more you pare down the models involved and dial up the rarity: a field of 911s is impressive; a group of Hakosukas more so; something like a squad of Miuras might […]

The Ford Mustang is arguably the most iconic American car. Since its inception back in the ’60s, it’s been a hot toy for many people; these things are almost everywhere, and it’s hard to go a day in the US without seeing at least one, unless you live in the middle of nowhere.

GT-F100: The Muscle Truck That Never Was

0

When customizers delve into alternate history and attempt to create vehicles that the factories didn’t, the results are usually quite cool. For example, imagine if Shelby and Ford had decided to build a muscle car pickup in the late 1960s… That’s exactly what the GT-F100 ponders. Owned by Kirk Johnson and built by Roseville Rod & Custom outside of Sacramento, […]

Running The Numbers In A GT350

Back in the 1960s and 1970s and even leading up into the mid-1990s, an automobile packing more than with 400 horsepower under its hood was something that demanded respect when driven. Muscle cars of these eras were twitchy, power came on like a lightswitch, and you needed to have some sense and ability while driving them. […]
