Another year another World's Greatest Drag Race from MotorTrend. This year the competition has some very fast cars but again it takes place on a non-prepped airport tarmac. That is fine as how else will you do a 12-wide drag race? ...Published on 09-19-2018 05:41 PM
Car and Driver deserves quite a bit of credit here. Their field has all the cars you would want to see in action. From the 991.2 GT2 RS, Ford GT, Lamborghini Huracan Performante, McLaren 720S, to the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 they covered the big boys. ...Published on 09-19-2018 02:01 PM
The E46 M3 S54 was the German 2JZ before the N54 was ever a glimmer in a BMW engineers CAD model. The iron block S54 is arguably the best six-cylinder BMW ever produced and if you need proof just give it a bit of boost. ...Published on 09-19-2018 01:02 PM
If you want to know why billet blocks are a big deal read this article from early in the year. This particular block is a Subaru EJ block which was built by IAG Performance in Maryland who is well known for their Subaru work. ...Published on 09-18-2018 03:52 PM
SCC 500 is a roll racing event in Germany that is broken up into various classes depending on power. Group 5 is the 751-999 PS (740-985 horsepower) class and BimmerBoost member @Peter @ Pure/PTF won the class in his PS2+ turbo upgraded built motor F80 M3. ...Published on 09-15-2018 08:22 AM
Watch Formula 1? You are not alone as it is the world's most popular motorsport. It is not the most popular motorsport in the United States though and there are various reasons for that but the quality of racing is often times quite boring. ...Published on 09-10-2018 11:25 PM
Carbon fiber wheels were once a dream but are increasingly becoming a realistic performance upgrade for enthusiasts as prices drop. It certainly helped that Ford sold the GT350R with production carbon fiber wheels which, yes, Carbon Revolution supplied. ...Published on 09-01-2018 12:42 AM
An interesting drag race here for context showing just how quick the BMW F90 M5 is. The Nissan GT-R is a bit long in the tooth at this point but it gets a tune pusing it to 631 horsepower. A stock car would be a better reference point but it is what it is. ...Published on 08-27-2018 06:52 PM
Formula 1 is back from its summer break and the back half of the season kicked off with the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa. After initial drama it was relatively uneventful as Sebastian Vettel got ahead of Lewis Hamilton and never looked back. ...Published on 08-22-2018 06:39 PM
Fabspeed Motorsport is a name all of us know. I knew it back when I first got started with cars way back almost twenty years ago in those late teenage years. Fabspeed did something nobody else did at the time which was offer reasonably priced exhausts for exotics designed and built in the USA. ...Published on 08-20-2018 09:53 PM
McLaren simply is building the best performance cars in the world. From the carbon fiber tub, to the dual clutch transaxle, to the twin turbo flat-plane crank V8, McLaren has the best mix of technology, power to weight, and overall performance. ...Published on 08-20-2018 07:56 PM
To think the Nissan GT-R is running low 9's on the factory turbochargers. Yes, that is without nitrous. The stock turbo Nissan GT-R record now stands at 9.336 seconds at 148.95 miles per hour as set by Slowpoke Tuning. ...Published on 08-15-2018 10:12 PM
The 2JZ-GTE is legendary for a reason. Toyota knows of this tuning potential hence the rumors of an 'iron' block for the MKV Supra. It may more realistically be CGI (compacted graphite iron) than traditional liron like the MKIV Supra motor but it still has a big reputation to live up to. ...Published on 08-14-2018 11:32 PM
This picture caught our attention as it highlights just how massive the Precision PT118 is. Yes, the 118 in the name tells you the 118mm inducer size. The Garrett GTX3582R by comparison has a 66mm inducer good for up to 850 horsepower. ...Published on 08-09-2018 09:06 PM
Remember that MKIV Supra from last month with a 2500+ horsepower 8.6 liter Hemi V8 swap with a 106mm Precision turbocharger? How can you forget it? Well, they fired up what they are calling the #wasabisupra and it sounds like.... well, just listen to it. ...
