The highly anticipated Horsepower Wars Season 5 is officially gearing up to deliver intense automotive battles on the internet. Brand rivalries run deep, especially when we are talking about Chevy versus Ford. And after yet another heated battle of LS vs Coyote, fans cried out for a heavyweight battle with the latest generation half-ton gas truck engines. The L8T and Godzilla platforms have quickly proven to be great rivals, boasting the latest induction designs with a classic pushrod architecture and iron block for serious power potential. Big cubes and big power potential are a great combination to make enthusiasts thirsty.
Starting in August, the iconic Ford and Chevy rivalry takes center stage with the explosive L8T vs Godzilla series. For the very first time, the Blue Oval holds a massive cubic inch advantage. Ford brings its massive 7.3-liter Godzilla engine to fight the proven 6.6-liter Chevrolet L8T small-block. Renowned engine builders Katech Performance and Booze Brothers Performance will go head-to-head in a strict naturally aspirated shootout. Watching these shops extract maximum power from factory iron blocks makes this specific Horsepower Wars Season 5 event a dream for hardcore gearheads. Both builds and the dyno shootout will be fully documented on Horsepower Wars YouTube page, as well as your favorite magazines like LSX.
While the big truck engines scream late into the summer, the high-speed action continues into the fall with the Fox v Ferrari challenge. A ‘garage-built ’91 Mustang will attempt to take down expensive European exotics in the ultimate “built versus bought” showdown: roll racing, speed-stop, slalom, and the “date night” challenge will determine the winner. Following that street car battle, the legendary $10K Drag Shootout returns in January. Competing teams will bring their own bare chassis and build small-tire, nitrous-breathing monsters to conquer the eighth-mile strip. Filming starts in the Fall (in Ohio), and applications for teams of four will be accepted later this month on Dragzine.com.
Grassroots builders constantly prove that expensive factory hardware does not automatically guarantee a win. From screaming supercars to massive truck engines, the upcoming season will deliver nonstop thrills. Get ready for the green flag to drop on Horsepower Wars Season 5.
