VIDEO: Dallas Performance’s 1,302HP Corvette C6 Hits the Dyno
















After a few recent failed, let's see a dyno test with a happy ending. This is 2005 C6 Corvette built by Dallas Performance, which recorded a whopping 1302 hp and 1662 Nm (£ 1,226-ft) of torque to the rear wheels, according to the  performance charts.

To achieve this, the tuning firm upgraded the V8 powerhouse with twin turbos, Performance Induction LS3 heads, RC120 injectors and single plane intake. The power is transferred to the rear wheels through a TR-6060 transmission and a C6 Z06 differential. The clip is available after the break.

Honda CR-Z Hybrid Sport Hatch by Noblesse



















Since Honda launches the new hybrid sport CR-Z,  it’s been the subject of numerous tuning projects. This time, the CR-Z was given a ground aerodynamic package courtesy of Japanese tuning firm, Noblesse.

 Among other parts, the company has developed a ground aero-kit with front and rear bumper aprons, side skirts, a rear diffuser and a large roof wing. These can be complemented by a lightweight carbon fiber hood, underbody aero parts, larger alloy wheels and a sport exhaust system.

All the changes have turned the CR-Z into a meaner and more aggressive looking hybrid sports hatch, a testament to the ease with which a tuning firm can upgrade the hybrid sports car from a standard-looking hatchback to a car that is sure to catch tons of attention out on the streets.
