You know what I like even more than fast cars? Fast cars that I didn't expect to be fast. I like to be surprised when I see something blow past me, like that Volvo 245 wagon with a Supra engine that did some smoky drifts a while back.

Take one part Grand Caravan and two parts VW diesel - engine and five speed stick - and the result might just be today’s Nice Price or Crack Pipe mixed up minivan. Will its price however prove a recipe for success?

I'll give you a pass if you don't immediately remember the Suzuki X-90, the petite mini-SUV that replaced the beloved Suzuki Samurai but only stuck around for two production years. I guarantee you won't forget this one, however, because it has some serious American muscle under its hood.

This idea is so perverse I can't help but love it. It's a picture of what appears to be a nicely-polished Honda 1.8L B18 engine nestled in the engine bay of a Z06 Corvette. Now, to Corvette purists, this is the equivalent of getting a heart transplant from a mole — an abomination that also is just too feeble to…

How do you turn an iconic British economy car into a serious FWD performance machine? From the looks of this Mini currently listed on Ebay it appears a very good answer to that question involves stuffing a 170hp engine from a Yamaha R1 underneath the hood of the tiny car.

Engine-swap stories are a car nerd's answer to celebrity dating gossip. (Seen Kristen Stewart at the Chateau Marmont swapping spit with a 389 tri-power? Let us know.) But a first-gen Camaro with the still-beating heart of a wrecked Cadillac CTS-V? Papa Razzi, call the front desk.

The Toyota GT-86 or Scion FRS as it will be known over here, is the lightweight driver's car that proves Toyota can build a car that avoids the beige. Amidst concerns from some regarding the car's 200 horsepower output it appears someone has already devised a perfect way to put concerns about power in the car to…

Even before the Fiat 500 became known to the American public as "the funny little car J.Lo drives" few people ever associated the cars with jaw dropping straight line performance, even in it's awesome original Abarth form. That might change after you watch these videos featuring an excellent vintage 500 with a…

Youtube is flooded with videos of people drifting Subaru Imprezas, but this isn't just any Impreza. Underneath this Subaru's hood sits a V10 from a BMW M5. Watching this video requires overcoming the mind blowing sound to visual discrepancy.

If you love weird engine swaps, E30s, six speed transmissions, extreme project car hell and going super fast in a straight line, this 4G63 powered BMW has it all. While some might ask why put a turbo Mitsubishi engine in a BMW, we can only applaud the efforts of the creator of this awesome E30.
