From racing the family Oldsmobile in 1960 to winning the Winternationals in 1964, read about the meteoric rise of drag racing's greatest owner and tuner in the first-ever book about "The Hawaiian" Roland Leong. As the son of a Harvard graduate, it could have been difficult for Roland Leong to live up to his family's expectations. However, that wasn't the case. "The Hawaiian" knew at a young age that drag racing was his career path. His supportive mother, Teddy, saw potential in Roland and bought him a new 1962 Corvette for "educational" purposes, such as wrenching and tuning. From there, it didn't take long for the world to discover Oahu's best-kept secret in drag racing. In 1964, less than two years after reaching the mainland, Roland was in victory lane at the Winternationals in Top Gas Eliminator. The following year, with Don Prudhomme behind the wheel, "The Hawaiian" immortalized his place in drag racing forever with wins in NHRA's Top Fuel Eliminator at Pomona (Winternationals) and Indy (US Nationals). Leong became the first ever to capture those iconic crowns in a single season. For good measure, Roland repeated the achievement in 1966 with Mike Snively, showing the world that a Harvard education isn't required to achieve greatness. "The Hawaiian: Roland Leong, Drag Racing's Iconic Owner and Tuner" is a tale of family, friends, and forging a path that no other Chinese-Hawaiian before him had carved. Re-live his biggest wins and lasting friendships in this first-ever publication on drag racing's first builder and tuner superstar, Roland Leong! This 176-page softback book includes 240 b/w and 71 color photos.

The new Dodge Charger, Challenger, and other LX-platform cars bring modern V-8 performance to unparalleled heights—and the new Challenger and Charger Hellcats are the most powerful American production cars today. The outrageous performance and audacious styling have earned a large and dedicated following. However, you can tune and modify the Chrysler 300, Dodge Magnum, Charger, and Challenger for more performance; and for many owners, fast is not fast enough. In the pursuit of a higher performing LX-platform car, former Mopar Muscle editor Randy Bolig has created this book, "How to Build and Modify Dodge Challenger and Charger 2006-2014," from SA Design and CarTech, to show you how to extract ultimate performance from these cars. Chrysler has built more than one million Chargers, Challengers, and other full-size-platform cars, starting with the Dodge Magnum and Chrysler 300. These cars offer competent handling, braking, and suspension performance, but they can be made much better through a set of targeted upgrades using better aftermarket equipment. Bolig gives you a comprehensive guide to the cars and engines. He details the features, benefits, and drawbacks of each package or set of upgrades, so you select the best modification for your car, application, and budget. He also covers basic to extreme modifications for the R/T and SRT8 models with the 5.7-, 6.1-, and 6.4-liter Hemi engines. Guidance for installing heads, rotating assemblies, ignition upgrades, higher-performance injectors, and many other parts are provided. But this book doesn't just discuss performance; it shows you how to do it with comprehensive, step-by-step product installs for a cat-back exhaust system, hand-held ignition tuner, cold-air intake, and supercharger. If you've been searching for the best performance package to make your Charger, Challenger, or full-size Chrysler car stand out from the crowd, you need this 176-paperback with over 400 photos. It has the latest information, so you can learn how to install all the products and get your car back out on the road.

Since its launch in 1967, the Camaro has been a friend to driving enthusiasts. Chevrolet's performance-minded individuals had their bona fide Bowtie pony car, and right away it was off to the races to craft and create versions that went above and beyond. The Camaro proved to be the perfect canvas for many kinds of special editions, and it has remained that way throughout six generations of the iconic model that has been loved worldwide. In SA Design's "Camaro Special Editions: 1967–Present," author and expert Matt Avery spotlights the most significant special editions and closely explores the pinnacles of the model's lineage. Beginning with the classics, the story is told of the venerable Z28, the Corvette-sourced L89 and JL8, and the factory COPO zeniths, including the legendary ZL1. Moving to the realm of outside heavy hitters, Avery profiles the efforts of dealership partners, such as Nickey, Dana, Gorries, Baldwin-Motion, Yenko, and the works of motor maverick drag racer Dick Harrell. From its first year, the Camaro played a starring role as an Indy 500 pace car and during the festival celebration. A comprehensive look at the many different variants that have been present at the famed Brickyard speedway is included. A new body style in the 1980s brought further special editions, including the race-ready Player's Series and subsequent 1LE option. Fast-forward to the Camaro's fourth generation, and activities accelerated even quicker with contemporary tuners, such as Callaway and Street Legal Performance (SLP), joining the fray along with dealer programs from Berger Chevrolet, GMMG, Hendrick Motorsports, Dale Earnhardt Chevrolet, and more. The very latest Camaros are documented as well, including the resurrected ZL1 and Z28, Specialty Vehicle Engineering's reimagined Yenko street terror, and Chevrolet Performance's all-out COPO race car. Factory packages, such as the Hot Wheels and Transformers, are covered—and all of the anniversary editions are examined, each marking milestones in the model's 55-year journey in becoming the thumping heartbeat of American sports car prowess. It's been quite a ride, and there's no letting up anytime soon. This192-page soft cover book from CarTech is a must-have resource and authoritative guide for celebrating the Camaro and its many fantastic and storied special editions. Includes 426 color photos; forward by Adam Barry and Scott Settlemire. BONUS: QR codes provide more than 70 additional pages of content!

Learn about the rarest muscle cars ever produced with this new book from SA Design and CarTech, "1 of 1 Muscle Cars: Stories of Detroit's Rarest Iron." In the world of muscle cars, many were produced and sold in large enough quantities that they'd be considered special but not particularly rare at the time of production. The Boss 429 and Plymouth Superbird were produced for racing homologation reasons, and since they were very expensive to produce, the manufacturers ensured that they would be rare. However, there's rare—and then there is RARE. Prototypes and special factory builds, factory production cars, and super car tuners and builders are all covered in this new hardback by muscle car historian Wes Eisenschenk. Some are single examples, some are very close to being the last remaining example, and all are extremely rare. Some have no surviving example known to exist. Featured cars include a Boss 429 Cougar, a 1971 Pontiac Ventura II Sprint 455, a 1965 Chevelle 300 COPO car with the L78 option, and a 1970 FK5 Deep Burnt Orange Metallic Superbird. Dealer promotional specials include a 1968 AMC AMX Von Piranha, a 1970 Dick Harrell LS6 454 Camaro, and a 1973 Nickey Chevrolet 427 Nova. These are cars that you'll read about but likely never see.
