Illegal street racing is not something to be taken lightly.
Illegal street racing is not a new trend. Ever since transportation has been available to the masses, people (often young) have taken to the streets to challenge one another. Throughout the 1960′s and early 1970′s, this activity was fueled by muscle cars and big block engines. Today, the technology has changed but not the act itself. Here’s what one reader had to say:
Try test driving a new diesel engine and you’ll be surprised!
A diesel engine provides more power and is more fuel efficient than a comparable gasoline engine.

According to the United States Department of Energy, these vehicles have the best fuel economy in their respective classes.
Rear wheel drive vs. front wheel drive. Which is better?
Front Wheel Drive
Around since the 1920′s, front wheel drive didn’t catch on with American consumers until the gas crisis in the 1970′s. As Americans struggled against high fuel prices, automakers began to seek new ways to increase fuel efficiency. The best way of course was to reduce the size (and thus the weight) of most vehicles. As Detroit aimed to make cars smaller, they needed a more efficient layout that would yield more interior room in a smaller package.
The global auto sales race heats up!
Manufacturers are looking for new opportunities to increase global auto sales.
Small cars making a big splash in North America.
It’s been a while since the sub-compact car market has garnered such attention in North America. Our friends in Europe have always known the virtues of small cars. But here in North America, SUV’s have dominated parking lots at the local Pier 1 for more than a decade. However as current gas prices inch forward and with future prices looking uncertain (they’re certainly going to be higher than today) more people are buying small, fuel-efficient cars. We’ve seen a lot of activity in the segment recently. Toyota has introduced the Yaris, Hyundai has significantly revised the Accent, Kia has updated the Rio, Honda has introduced the Fit, and Nissan will introduce the Versa in May of this year. And let’s not forget Scion with the xA and xB.
2005 ford mustang
As far as the consumer is concerned, the history of the great Ford Mustang began when it was shown to the public at New York’s World Exhibition. The prototypes had been in existence since 1962, with the Mustang 1 (T-5) being first introduced to the motor racing world at the Watkins Glen Grand Prix where Stirling Moss and Dan Gurney drove it for a few laps each as a demo.
