Thank you for all that you did, Mr. Shelby. You will be missed. Rest in peace.

Your Ride Is Here

I’ve been hanging out at my local Ferrari dealership a lot lately. No, I’m not in the market… It’s just that my 3-year old son is completely infatuated with the prancing horse and I’ve got to quench his thirst somehow. Anyhow, the fellas at the dealership, as it turns out, are really nice guys. Not just nice guys, but above and beyond kind of deal. Don’t believe me?

1970 DeTomaso Mangusta

I found this on eBay and have been dreaming since. Take a Euro spec chassis and add AMERICAN horsepower and you get the best of both 1970 worlds. Plus, not much looks meaner. I’d drive it on the street…

Check it out.

Still Too Fast To Race: Group B Rally Supercars Part 2

John Joyo — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 04:01:35 +0000

You may remember the post about Group B rally supercars early last year. Too Fast To Race was a good documentary about the rise and fall of this legendary class of racing. It seems I’ve stumbled across a sequel to Too Fast To Race, called Still Too fast To Race. Well, not a sequel exactly but another video that covers some of the great Group B history. I just can’t get enough of the original Group B footage and I have a feeling that you can’t either. Enjoy!

Formula One, now in Full Color!!!

The 1967 Formula One German Grand Prix, held at the legendary Nurburgring, was the very first race in history to be broadcast in color on German television. Not only was this one of the greatest generations of Formula One cars, but imagine the excitement of seeing them in color for the very first time! Man, we’re spoiled

Hey Porsche, Nice Work!

John Joyo — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 16:20:55 +0000

There has been a lot of talk and praise surrounding Porsche build quality and reliability over the last couple of years. JD Power awarded Porsche the number one spot for reliability. A German brand that has historically been synonymous with performance was ranked above all of the Japanese cars… Incredible! For a guy like me, reliability is a very important consideration when buying a car. I can’t afford to have a high-end weekend driven sports car. Even if I could, I’d want to drive it everyday. Congratulations Porsche, keep up the good work and hopefully others will follow in your footsteps of joining the performance we want with the reliability we hope for.

PS. Please send me a 911 like in the video below for Christmas. Love, John

Speed Demon on the Salt

John Joyo — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 18:04:09 +0000

There is fast, and there is FAST. George Poteet and Ron Main have persisted in setting the record in a piston driven streamliner, the Speed Demon. It takes a different breed of person to go over 400mph on land. Sure, many of us think we’d do it if given the chance, but how many of us would actually be able to keep our foot in it once we saw the speedometer pass 200… 250… 300…350… 400… and beyond? It’s hard to even imagine the feeling.

Chevy True Stories

John Joyo — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 22:31:43 +0000

This isn’t exactly an automotive performance video, but I have a soft spot for 60′s era GM cars and my dad. Chevrolet recently released a series of online video stories called Chevy True Stories. This one is called “My Dad’s Car”.

The History of the Lexus LFA

John Joyo — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 13:21:16 +0000

Supercars are not built overnight. A great supercar is built, tested, redesigned, built, tested again and again until a certain level of perfection and achievement is reached. I can’t imagine the feeling of pride and accomplishment one would feel who has been tasked with the responsibility for conjuring up and showcasing the best of what a brand can be. Lexus/ Toyota takes us along on a very high-level look at what that journey is like in this short video, The History of the Lexus LFA.
