TWO DAYS AGO, I was at the Auto Club Speedway of California, a two-mile oval about 80km east of Los Angeles where they hold NASCAR events. Back in 2000, Gil de Ferran lapped his Penske Racing CART machine there at a mind-boggling average speed of 241.428mph (388.54km/h). My MotorTrend buddies were using the ACS drag strip to test American products: a 485kW Camaro ZL1, a 527kW Hellcat Widebody and the new 563kW Corvette ZR1.

THE MODIFIED CAR SCENE. Is there a phrase more likely to make the blood of an enthusiast run cold? It conjures up images of 1.1-litre engines spitting into four-inch diameter exhaust systems, rock-hard suspension and three-spoke alloys.
