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. ...Published on 05-11-2019 09:01 PM
The McLaren Senna obviously dominates this course as it should. However, the Magny-Cours Club track is tighter and shorter than the GP track so a light car like the 600LT should do well and set some impressive times. ...Published on 05-10-2019 06:41 PM
An interesting race here considering the M5 is a family sedan carrying an extra 1000+ pounds. Both vehicles are rear wheel drive with dual clutch transmissions and twin turbocharged V8's although the M5 has the larger motor at 4.4 liters to 3.8 liters. ...Published on 05-10-2019 05:45 PM
Somehow Hennessey (never forget) got a McLaren Senna on a Dynojet. Now, the Senna utilizes a very similar engine to the McLaren 720S M840T 4.0 liter twin turbo V8. McLaren calls the Senna variant the M840TR and it is rated at 789 horsepower. ...Published on 05-09-2019 07:53 PM
The McLaren 600LT is spectacularly fast. It takes everything you like about the 570S and strips out weight while adding power. The thing is the Senna has almost 200 more horses than 600LT while weighing within 50 pounds of it and it certainly shows. ...Published on 05-09-2019 06:52 PM
This is the same McLaren MP4-12C that recently measured 790 rear wheel horsepower on the dyno with 93 octane and methanol injection. That is of course with the Pure Turbos 900 M838T hybrid turbocharger upgrade. ...Published on 05-09-2019 03:32 PM
This is an absurd amount of power on the factory M840T McLaren 720S 4.0 liter twin turbo motor. Dyno Spectrum set a new output record on the platform with an 1139 rear wheel horsepower pull on a Dynocom dynamometer. ...
