Help Fight Against SOPA and PIPA
An explanation from Google
Two bills before Congress, known as the Protect IP Act (PIPA) in the Senate and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House, would censor the Web and impose harmful regulations on American business. Millions of Internet users and entrepreneurs already oppose SOPA and PIPA.
The Senate will begin voting on January 24th. Please let them know how you feel. Sign this petition urging Congress to vote NO on PIPA and SOPA before it is too late.

JCG Restoration’s Pro-touring 1968 Camaro
JCG Restoration has built an incredible 1968 Pro-touring Camaro. Under the carbon fiber hood sits a 600 horsepower LS7 motor built by QMP Racing. The engine also features a dry sump oil system, Detroit Speed and Engineering headers and a Speartech engine harness. All that power gets routed through a six-speed T-56 transmission, ACT clutch, and out through a bulletproof Moser 9 inch Ford differential. JCG upgraded the braking to Wilwood C6 Corvette Road Race brakes upfront and Wilwood W4R brakes in back.
To help with not only the look but also weight, the header, hood, and cowl panel are carbon fiber from Anvil Auto. JCG also stretched the quarter panels and fenders. Finishing off the appearance are a set of Forgeline ZX3R wheels, 18×10 upfront and 19×12 in back.
Purists might scoff at this Camaro but if you enjoy modern performance with classic looks, this is the car of your dreams.

2012 Dodge Charger Redline
If your current sedan is just not putting down the power you need, you might take a look at the new 2012 Dodge Charger Redline with the Mopar Stage 3 package. This package removes the current 370 horsepower 5.7L Hemi V8 for a 590 horsepower 7.0L Hemi V8. Not only is the engine more powerful but it is also 100 pounds lighter.

Lamborghini Kit Car with Quad-Turbo BMW V12
This seems to be making the rounds on a few sites after being recently uploaded to Streetfire, but after a little digging around I found it was uploaded over a year ago from the Newark 2010 Auto Show. Even though the Lamborghini is a kit car, it is still a great project. The builders were able to shove not only a 5.0L BMW V12 motor but also four turbochargers.

Twin Turbo Powerstroke Honda Civic
This is a few years old but I had to post it when I recently stumbled on it. You are looking at a Honda Civic hatchback with a twin-turbo 6.0L Powerstroke Diesel V8 taking absolutely all the space between the front wheels. I am pretty sure this Civic is not running any air conditioning. If anyone has any more info on this please leave a comment.
