REJOICE, for your local newsagency has just been re-stocked with V8-powered good times!

On page one, we have a supercar-inspired, big block-powered Charger, forged from sheer awesomeness by the maestros at Hills & Co Customs. The quality and extent of the fabrication work in the car is simply mind-blowing, and it has been finished to perfection.

You’ll also find the current Red CentreNATS Grand Champ – a twin-turbo LS-powered humpy ute with go and show in equal parts. Early on in the car’s development it’s knocking on the door of a seven-second pass, and it looks amazing doing it.

There’s also a magnificently tough XY GT replica with a monstrous blown and injected Clevo; a kick-arse pro touring Camaro; a budget-built, home-brewed Kingswood; a cool tunnel-rammed XP Falcon streeter; and a look at a show-winning, salt record-holding, SMOTY-contending spinner ute, which has just been reunited with its creator after being sold off many moons ago.

We’ll also bring you all the thrills and spills from the richest drag racing event ever to take place on Aussie soil – Grudge Kings 2019.

And for a change of pace, we’ll then walk you through the casual catch-up we staged in Melbourne to celebrate Street Machine cracking 100,000 subscribers on YouTube. It was a cracking day and we were humbled by the turnout.

There’s also a pearler of a yarn from our intrepid reporter Dave Carey, who caught up with a number of owners of Aussie muscle cars during a recent sojourn to Pomgolia, as well as stacks of tech including an in-depth look at Australia’s favourite thongslapper – that which powers Shannon Heraud’s cool-as-hell Escort.

It all makes for a great read, so get yours while the gettin’ is good!
