Vincent Uriah's 2003 Ford 7.3L Power Stroke required to upgrade the turbocharger. Rather than install a high-dollar competition-minded turbo, we wanted something fitting for a real-world work truck built on a real-world budget.

Since the Saab brand was ditched by General Motors, many people didn't expect a new 9-5 to ever hit the streets. But, following the company's purchase by Swedish supercar manufacturer Koenigsegg, there's finally a new one. And it's about time, too. The original 9-5 started production way back in 1997 to replace the Saab 9000, and it hasn't been significantly upgraded at all since that time. Yep, 12 years with no generation update. That seems almost inconceivable in today's market, so let's hope this new one is worth it

Nearly 25 years ago, General Motors introduced the C/K generation of pickup trucks and the sport truck craze was born. The sleeker styling and comfort features were geared less toward the work crowd and more to the enthusiast.

Under the hood of the 2012 Toyota Camry is one of two engines. Powering most Camrys is a capable 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 178 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque. SE and XLE models can be upgraded to a smooth and powerful 3.5-liter V6 that's good for 268 horsepower and 248 pound-feet. All models are front-wheel drive and come with a 6-speed automatic transmission (the SE V6 also comes with manual control paddle shifters).

This not only makes a large quantity of parts available but it also makes the platform attractive to aftermarket companies because they can produce a single part number that covers a wide range of years, and as a result, a larger customer base.
