Hot car videos

Video of the same professional online auto repair manuals I use almost everyday. This thing can help you fix cars at home with professional results. The biggest advantage to following a repair diagram is that you can isolate and replace only failed components.

This puts an end to guessing at whats wrong and prevents wasting money on electrical parts that are not returnable at most parts stores around the United States. Note that I added a video to the above mentioned page that walks you through a common auto repair procedure using the web based service manual.

For as long as I can remember Nissan flag carriers and fans have used the skyline and skyline GT-R as their example of the fastest Nissan auto model available. And although the car is commonplace in Asia and Europe the car was never offered for sale in the U.S. and Canada. The car has been only rarely imported to this country's by the most fanatic Nissan auto fans.

The average price tag to import the car and get it through customs to meet U.S. EPA regulations is rumored to be over a $100,000. But now the North American Nissan auto fans will be able to get their hands on their very own Nissan GT-R for about $65,000 depending on the options you choose. If you have noticed the skyline name tag has been dropped from the Nissan GT-R to better go along with the latest North American car naming process of short catchy names with just letters and numbers.

Nissan auto has announced the 350z's power plant will be punched out to a 3.7 liter and carry a pair of turbo chargers to raise the base horse power to 450 and the torque is increased to 360 ft pounds which makes this a v6 monster. The engines designation has been dubbed as the VQ power plant. I have heard and read conflicting reports about whether the twin turbo model will actually make it to the US but as a Nissan auto fan I sure hope so.

It has also been reported that the engine has been detuned for reliability and fuel economy as well as U.S. emissions purposes. An example of this is a projected boost pressure of about 10 psi. Well below the industry standard of 14psi. So the Nissan auto fan clubs see this as an opportunity for some retuning and boost pressure increasing for even more horsepower and torque. Making the Nissan GT-R on the top of every super tuners wish list. More hot cars reviewed here.

Another hot cars article this time it's all about the Benz.



The Mercedes SLR McLaren is now in mass production. As I read about 20 articles on this hot car I was overwhelmed by the term carbon fiber. The Mercedes SLR is one of the new hot cars to join the GT category holding the Benz flag. This vehicle carries the historical SLR Mercedes name brought back from the 1955 300 SLR race car.

The hot cars price tag is an affordable $452,000 that will easily put this car in the driveway of the rich and famous. This new version of the SLR has what is being called sizer doors. These doors are hinged at the front instead of the roof line. The hot cars engine is a hand-built 617-horsepower supercharged 5.5-liter V8, the first engine developed exclusively by Mercedes-AMG.

This engine is rated at max horsepower at a smooth 6500 rpm's and develops its max torque of 575 ft pounds at a lazy 3250-rpm's. The engine is mounted behind the front wheels and is considered a mid engine design. The center and low placement of the engine provides the main handling characteristics of the hot cars track tested performance.

So what is the performance like on this hot car? Well it is a solid member of the 200 mph club. The top speed is rated at 207 mph. The car has conflicting reports on its 0-60 times but average time is around 3.5 seconds to 60-mph. The quarter-mile time of 11.6 seconds at 125 mph was recorded by car and driver along with a 50-70 mph acceleration time of 2.5 seconds in top gear.
