This just does not feel very McLaren. In a recent Car and Driver interview McLaren's CEO Mike Flewitt made some startling revelations including McLaren working on an wheel drive vehicle and that in 3-4 years we can expect all McLarens to be hybrid. ...Published on 11-30-2019 04:56 PM
Modern all wheel drive Porsche 911 models with PDK are very tough to beat from a stop. The 991.2 Turbo S in particular is going to pose a challenge in factory form let alone when modified. The torque down low and quick shifting PDK with launch control mixed in is usually a recipe for victory. ...Published on 11-21-2019 07:22 AM
Being able to handle a McLaren 720S is the measure of a fast car today. This McLaren 720S certainly is fast but it is also not a stock example as it is tuned with software and downpipes. Output is claimed to be a relatively modest ~740 rear wheel horsepower. ...Published on 11-21-2019 06:45 AM
Remember back in 2018 when composite (carbon fiber) connecting rods debuted at SEMA? They retailed for $18,000.00 and the idea was for a drag racing team to buy a set as it would cut down on costs eventually and be much more reliable. ...Published on 11-06-2019 01:14 PM
Garrett is making some bold statements here with their three new 'mild frame' G30/G35 turbochargers. You have the G30-900, G35-950, and G33-1050 which Garrett states do not have an equal from the competition at the moment at the moment. ...Published on 11-05-2019 04:31 PM
Sorry to play spoiler but seeing the Hyundai Veloster N win a Performance Car comparison that includes some very nice hardware makes you scratch your head. BoostAddict will defend Road and Track's choice though but not because the Veloster N is the best performance car produced in 2020. ...Published on 11-02-2019 06:12 PM
We love to see independent comparisons between these two vehicles where engineering teams from either manufacturer are not on hand to interfere or perhaps stack the deck. These two heavyweights were tested at the Anglesey circuit with a professional driver. ...Published on 10-31-2019 01:43 PM
What are the specs here? We do not know exactly. What we do know is Dyno Spectrum tuned this McLaren 720S which holds the quickest M840T 1/4 mile world record. That record was set on the stock turbos so what will it run now with bigger turbos? ...Published on 10-30-2019 08:22 PM
Some good runs here with a lot of C6 ZR1 action. Yes, we all want to see tuned C7 ZR1's take on tuned McLaren 570's but the C6 is no slouch. The camera car in the first set of runs is a 700 horsepower C6 ZR1. ...Published on 10-30-2019 02:25 PM
Finding good fuel for those days when you want to hit the roadcourse, dragstrip, or 1/2 mile event is not as easy as most people think. Pump E85 is great but it variest in ethanol content and when your car is in kill mode you want consistency and reliability. Enter ETS Racing Fuels. ...Published on 10-29-2019 02:51 PM
Congratulations to Eurocharged Canada who tuned this McLaren 720S on the factory turbochargers. This is a boost only and factory turbo North American record. That means no nitrous or power adders involved just what the car comes with from the factory. ...Published on 10-28-2019 03:43 PM
Part of the problem in the aftermarket is finding companies that truly deliver as promised. Unfortunately, the tuning scene is filled with crooks but also many reputable companies that stand the test of time. ECS Tuning certainly is one that stood the test of time. ...Published on 10-26-2019 03:03 PM
This is an interesting development from TurboSource. Now variable A/R (Aspect Ratio) in a turbocharger is nothing new as that is exactly the idea behind VTG (Variable Turbine Geometry) turbochargers which Porsche is well known to use in production cars. ...Published on 10-25-2019 01:28 PM
The full Porsche 997.2 Turbo specs are not provided here but it had some engine work (owner claims just upgraded rods) and obviously some big turbochargers. It is a manual transmission example which is a large factor when facing a McLaren 720S. ...Published on 10-23-2019 03:04 PM
MotorTrend's 2019 Best Driver's Car competition is taking place at Laguna Seca and it is interesting to see the results on a track that is a good mix of technical application and power. The lineup is good but does not have any high performance standouts. ...
