Before sending the Fox Mustang to Maximum Motorsports to begin our build, it's important to set a number against which to gauge our improvements.

Matt finally puts up and buys a Porsche! This 1987 Carrera is a whale-tail narrow-body coupe with A/C and a Sunroof in Cassis Red over Red Leather interior.

Matt reviews a 2008 Lexus ISF on Angeles Forest Highway. These were $65,000 cars when new, but now that they have aged, can they be the best value in used performance cars?

We shot a TON of video on the 2010 Bullrun Rally, more than we could fit into our daily videos. Here are the best moments from this year's rally, with tons of never-before seen footage.

Auto Tempest is the best new way to search the entire internet at once for your next car!

While driving the all-new C7 Corvette Stingray for the first time in Monterey, we couldn't help ourselves but see how good it is at doing burnouts. Here's a bunch of them.

Matt reviews an early BMW 335i with an ECU tune and a bunch of suspension modifications. Even at six years old, how does the 335i hold up?

This may be the best-bought 996 in history, for under $10,000. So how's it drive? Check out Chris's Porsche 996 on Wheelwell!

The Smoking Tire takes the Jaguar XKR 175 to a closed road in the middle of the desert to test its performance capabilities when pushed to the limit. Is this the best value in supercars ever?

Matt takes the Lexus LS460 F-Sport in the one place you'll probably never see one: the canyons. Time to find out if Lexus's newest full size luxury car is deserving of its F-Sport badge.

This 2000 Porsche 996 Carrera was bought as a track-only car by its current owner, who is slowly converting it back to street use.

This BMW M4 Shop Build by European Auto Source of Anaheim, CA, is now the most modified M4 I've tried.

Considering I own one of these C5 Corvettes, you'd think I'd have more experience driving them, but in fact, this is the first C5 I've driven that isn't my own in over 10 years.

The Mercedes C43 AMG was only the second car produced after AMG moved under the Mercedes umbrella. It came from the factory with a 4.3L V8 stuffed into the C-Class chassis.

Some people say the sporting Acuras died with the NSX in 2002. I say, they died with the RSX. But they can be a screaming deal on the used market. Check out Harut's Specs on WheelWell!

We hold an open casting call for any driver wanting to test the new Audi R8 V10 5.2 FSI due to Matt Farah's busted knee.

This 1998 Acura Integra GSR doesn't look like much, but it really packs a punch with a forged, high compression B18C engine by Evasive Motorsports, making 220 horsepower at the wheels from only 1.9

The new Civic Si, like all new Civics, has a turbo. From Honda it comes with 205HP (or does it), a comfier, quieter interior than the outgoing one, and more torque.

The new "Mk7" Volkswagen GTI can probably be considered the new standard of refinement in the segment, and makes a great daily driver. But how about when you drive it fast?

There was a time before Ford's fast cars all had turbochargers and set the standard for manic, boosted fun. In the early 2000's, Ford's SVT Focus looked more like a Honda Civic SI than a VW GTI.

The Mercedes GLA45 is a slightly lifted, hatchback version of the European A45 and US-market CLA45. And while that seems a bit silly at first, as it turns out, the GLA45 may be the best of the bunch.

The Jaguar F-Type SVR is the quickest, fastest, most powerful, and most expensive variant of the range.

Matt picks himself up a mega-clean 1988 Mustang Notchback (Ex-CHP!) project car.

We've been eagerly waiting a new WRX for a while now, and we've finally got one!
