Car Features

My feeling is that Dion got this car just right, not too much and not too little. The wheel offset and stance are just about perfect and we all know how that makes or breaks the look of a street machine. Not a sleeper and not in your face, a Muscle car equilibrium, if you will.

The dead straight black body plays in tune with the black-on-black interior. Swirled brushed metal adorns the dash and centre console, also known as engine turned, all I know is it looks sweet. Also, the steering wheel pops off nicely against the dark interior with its green energy absorbing centre.

The 3 Slooten brothers have been very well known in the local drag racing community. Especially for having some mean big-block V8 American cars that are all hellishly fast! Like the 1972 Mach 1 Mustang.

I WAS IN LOVE AND MADE AN OFFER ON THE SPOT WITH THIS CHRYSLER 383, NAMED BLACK BETTY.

Big girls. Yes, I like them and I am not shy to admit it. Black Betty is her name and she is a “big girl”. Now I am going to elaborate on how I like my cars big, big engines. 

No wimpy small blocks for me. Big bodies, there needs to be space for all my pals and a cooler box. Big seats, preferably a bench so the missus has no excuse not to sit close. So now that we have established that I like my cars big, we can carry on. 

With sinister looks and a specially modified 5.0-litre V8 the most powerful 5.0-litre V8 ever, projecting 500 horsepower Ford Mustang Dark Horse expands the lineup. They set a new benchmark for American street and track performance that could only come in a Mustang.

Rods newest toy and monster in the making is a 1928 Ford Model A Rat Rod. The first thing that squeezed my lemon was the 276ci Desoto Firedome HEMI.

If your friend told you their car had a backup camera, a digital dash, climate control, could scan for radio stations, and road assist, you wouldnt think much about it. Unless the year was 1969 and a Hurricane.

The car the Hurricane by Australian automaker Holden was never a productionvehicle. But it was way beyond the state of the art in 1969 and isnt too dated, even today. The concept car was actually founded in 1988 and restored in2011. Honestly, it still looks great.

With the third generation of the Audi RS 3 Sportback and the second generation of the RS 3 Sedan, Audi is relaunching the sporty top-of-the-line pair in the compact high-performance segment.

Nathan Patterson LS-powered a nanna-spec 1978 Toyota KE30 Corolla into a fearsome tyre-scorcher.

This article on Nathans Corolla was initially published in the May 2018 issue ofStreet Machinemagazine.

NOTHING says nanna car quite like a stock Toyota Corolla painted plain white except in the case of Nathan Pattersons example. His KE30 started off precisely this way but was turned into a 550rwhp V8-powered tyre-melting monster. And this transformation began just two months out from Summernats 31!

When it comes to rust removal and custom paint, Steelroad Rod & Custom is always high on any local guys list as a go-to shop. A good example is Neil Edmondson, who was sitting with a 1973 Ford F250. Although a lot of work had been done to it in the past, it was unfortunately in pieces.
