Words cannot even describe how much fun we had off-roading with Vaughn Gittin Jr. just before Formula Drift Las Vegas. A nice public park behind the Air Force Base and the LVMS CORR truck course gave us every opportunity to test and enjoy this SVT Raptor. It was quite a treat to have Vaughn Gittin Jr. manhandle the completely stock Ford truck for hours off-road and then hand it back to us so we can take it to the hotel. It was quite impressive and we have a few hundred photos packed in a gallery of our day out in the dirt.

Tanner Foust is gearing up for Rallycross in New Jersey this weekend according to Ford Racing. The X-Games Ford Fiesta will be put back to use as he gears up to compete in the United States new series this weekend. Here is what Tanner Foust had to say about the event;
“It’s an incredibly challenging and aggressive sport,” said Foust, who has been competing in European championship events this season in the RockStar Energy Drink Ford Fiesta. “The action is non-stop and the fans can’t get enough of it. I often say it is like driving in a real life video game.”

The Brian Crower Stage 2 cams are now on Project 350z! Check out our brief installation guide on how to do the camshaft swap. Sadly the VQ35 engine has to be pulled out to load the cams in so it’s quite a hassle and long installation. You will need more than a few hours to tackle it (we took about 15). In the end you will be satisfied with this product and have a noticeable upgrade in performance. If you get over your head on this one please do yourself a favor and consult some professional help.
