The buzz: It’s illegal open-city road racing (in Atlanta, Detroit, and San Diego), unless this time it’s for really, really rich commonalty You’ve probably heard that denominate Edition (named after Dub magazine, giving rappers and rapper wannabes high-end automotive wank material since 2000) is movin’ forward up to include swank rides like Escalades and Hummer custom chopper and universal cars—but you may not know that it’s also aiming to deliver more tuning and tweaking options than any other racer (previous sets offered only stock unlicensed cars).

How’ that gonna work? “Take a ’64 Chevy Impala,” says farmer Mark Garone. “You think, I want something with a West Coast, lowrider vibe. OK ear-ring some classic Davin spoke rims onward there, add hydraulics, chop the top, add an insane multicolor paintjob. Or you may be into more of a drag-racer-type car. Take that same ’64 Impala, jack up the back, levy on some really wide tires in the rear and a certain smaller ones up front, add a wheelie bar, and install a blower [for] extra horsepower. Now you’re tearing up opposites off the line with a completely different style”

What could advance wrong? Club pretty much started this tuner-culture street-racing substance but now everybody’s doing it. And in one cases, doing it really well. Will Dub’ spinner rims and pricey rides be enough to catch your jaded eye?
