The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution line ended with a whimper back in 2014. Yes, that is how long we have been without a high performance Lancer enthusiast model model from Mitsubishi. Mitsubishi at the time said a replacement was not in the cards. ...Published on 07-01-2019 08:01 PM
The Japanese do not seem to like the idea of the Supra not having a 2JZ powerplant either. Enter Japanese tuner HKS who took it upon themselves to a build a 'proper' MKV Supra with a 700 horsepower single turbo 2JZ-GTE under the hood. ...Published on 07-01-2019 06:21 PM
This is an unfortunate part of racing as accidents do happen. This is why you take it to the track though where medical personnel and safety precautions are in place. Even if you take every precaution a tire can still blow out and you can still hit the person in the lane next to you. ...Published on 07-01-2019 05:41 PM
You may recall a mid-size truck comparison a couple months back by Car and Driver that had the Chevy Colorado come out on top. Now, that comparison did not have the Toyota Tacoma TRD in it as MotorTrend includes but MotorTrend also omits the Ford Ranger. ...Published on 06-30-2019 05:04 PM
Californians had the opportunity to repeal a gas tax that added 12 cents per gallon to their gasoline. They failed to do so and now the state is levying another tax on top of that increase of 5.6 cents per gallon. ...Published on 06-28-2019 05:51 PM
If you have been around tuning long enough you have likely heard the name Motec. They are a popular choice for serious engine management namely in high end racing applications but also high end tuner builds. ...Published on 06-24-2019 01:22 PM
200 mile per hour trap speeds in the 1/4 mile just put you into a whole different discussion of performance. That is exactly what Boostin Performance was able to achieve three times with this Nissan GT-R that is running the factory VR38DETT block. ...Published on 06-20-2019 02:22 PM
This is not officially approved but green parties in Ireland are pushing for it just as they are in much of the European Union. Do not forget three years ago German politicians announced plans to kill off the internal combustion motor by 2030 as well. ...Published on 06-13-2019 08:53 PM
Low 11's with AMS Red Alpha VR30DDTT turbochargers and Ecutek Race Rom tuning? Yes, that is what Puerto Rican tuner Predator Performance is sharing. They posted a very impressive 1/4 mile pass of 11.257 seconds at 124.488 miles per hour. ...Published on 06-12-2019 09:21 PM
Mazda Miatas have a reputation for being fun to drive with a great chassis but there is one glaring area of weakness. That area would be the motor and while the Miata is not designed to be a muscle car a bit of muscle certainly will not hurt. ...Published on 06-11-2019 08:12 PM
Most of you know the name EcuTek and know they have a vast dealer network with many quality tuners. EcuTek also offers an OBD-II interface over bluetooth for your phone that they call Ecu Connect. What exactly does it do? ...Published on 06-08-2019 07:42 PM
What if you bought an expensive exhaust system and it sounded absolutely nothing like the preview clips? You would be pretty unhappy, right? Well, with any other exhaust manufacturer you would be out of luck. With Fabspeed you would be able to get a full refund. ...Published on 06-08-2019 06:02 PM
This comparison is somewhat amusing as when you really think about it BMW has two entries. Say what you want the Supra is just a Z4 Coupe under the skin. Additionally, MotorTrend called this a 'Sports Car' shootout and is the BMW F87 M2 Competition really a sports car? ...Published on 06-08-2019 05:31 PM
They say you can not reinvent the wheel but you certainly can reinvent the tire. The Micheline Uptis is certainly a new take and as you can see in the photo it is not a traditional tire design which is inflated with air. ...Published on 06-07-2019 05:42 PM
It is great magazines are finally using dynos to see just how badly manufacturers (BMW in particular) are sandbaggin output in the turbo era. Car and Driver got some really high torque figures from the Supra B58 on a Dynojet so it is great to get some Mustang figures for context. ...
