This same Viper already ran a McLaren 720S and lost but that was a stock example driven by a woman. This time it runs into some stronger competition. As a reminder, this Gen V Viper has a ported head and aftermarket cam putting it in the 650 wheel horsepower range. ...Published on 05-29-2019 08:12 PM
A McLaren 570S is a fast car stock. A really fast car stock. For an RS3 to beat a factory example is impressive enough but a tuned example? Wow. These races are also from a roll and on the highway so it is not traction getting the victory. ...Published on 05-24-2019 10:25 PM
Earlier this year we saw a McLaren 720S with the Pure Turbos M840T hybrid turbo upgrade producing 936 rear wheel horsepower on race gas. Well, it is now joined by yet another McLaren 720S with the same turbo upgrade producing over 900 wheel horsepower. ...Published on 05-23-2019 07:51 PM
Yes, last week an article was posted highlighting Dyno Spectrum's world first demonstration of McLaren ECU map switching. The demo was on a McLaren 675LT and Dyno Spectrum stated they would be able to move to more McLaren models. ...Published on 05-22-2019 05:43 PM
If you wanted to get an idea as to how quick a bolt on McLaren 720S is from 60-130 miles per hour, here you go. This Gintani tuned example with their turbo upgrade managed a 60-130 sprint in 4.51 seconds on pump gas. ...Published on 05-22-2019 04:33 PM
McLaren 650S dynographs from Fabspeed are nothing new and were posted in previous articles. This latest Dynojet graph is a bit different though likely due to the scaling as the factorub M838T turbochargers tend to fall off pretty hard. ...Published on 05-22-2019 03:44 PM
Goodyear released some new high end rubber called the Eagle Supsport R and Eagle Supersport RS. The R is supposed to be more of a streetable high grip tire which likely will rival the Toyo R888R and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2. ...Published on 05-22-2019 01:52 PM
The Dallas News reports the state senate passed a bill which will outlaw red light cameras in Texas. The governor is expected to sign the bill into law which will make Texas the 11th state to ban the use of red light cameras. ...Published on 05-21-2019 09:25 PM
Wiseco pistons posted a great article explaining the purpose and function of the second piston ring. Many engine builders and engineers read this site and already know these details but for the rest of us who aren't experts there is some great technical piston and ring info in the article below. ...Published on 05-17-2019 06:42 PM
This is a world first and a huge development in McLaren tuning. Imagine being able to adjust your map for whatever fuel you are running on the fly. How about a valet mode? How about a pump gas mode? Well, Dyno Spectrum is able to accomodate with up to eight switchable maps. ...Published on 05-16-2019 09:14 PM
This certainly puts into perspective how far cars have come. An 850 all wheel horsepower GT-R is a monster of a car. Well, maybe it is not quite a monster by today's standards when a bolt on McLaren 720S can just obliterate it. ...Published on 05-15-2019 06:12 PM
This network is critical of Carwow videos. Are they featured from time to time? Yes. Why? Because Carwow benefits from having certain cars available that never were sold in the US market plus an airstrip they seemingly get to use whenever they want to (poorly) test cars. ...Published on 05-15-2019 01:01 PM
Admittedly when McLaren stated they were working on a GT car it was met with skepticism. A mid-engine GT? Well, it works. It works very, very well. McLaren detuned theri M840T from the 720S and paired it with a more comfortable, roomier, and heavier chassis. ...Published on 05-14-2019 06:54 PM
The McLaren 570S is fast in stock form. It will do a low 10 at ~135 miles per hour right off the showroom floor. So what can you pick up with a custom dyno tune for the M838T twin turbo V8 and some high flow cats? ...Published on 05-14-2019 05:37 PM
Drag racing is all about density altitude and traction. Guys on the west coast are at a disadvantage in the density altitude (and often track prep) respect so why not level the playing field with nitrous? It is essentially density altitude in a bottle. ...
Any thoughts...
Trump for POTUS!
