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. ...Published on 10-21-2019 01:02 PM
This is a major win for farmers selling corn who lobbied the Trump administration regarding larger purchases of ethanol. What does this mean for car enthusiasts? It means more ethanol. You will see more ethanol in your gasoline and E15 will see greater adoption. ...Published on 10-19-2019 12:41 PM
The idea of a compressor powered by electricity is nothing new. Mass adoption of a turbo that uses electricity to instantly spin the compressor before having to wait for exhaust gases certainly would be new. That is what Garrett promises with the E-Turbo set to hit the market in 2021. ...Published on 10-17-2019 11:21 AM
The idea of a Formula 1 Grand Prix in Miami is not anything new. It was on again then off again and now it appears it really is happening. The Formula 1 Grand Prix of Miami is expected to take place in 2021. ...Published on 10-17-2019 10:02 AM
Hennessey tuned this ZR1 to 1200+ horsepower and there is no reason to doubt it as they briefly held the LT5 1/4 mile record. Everyone is familiar with the beast that is the Mclaren 720S so how does it look going up against a highly tuned C7 ZR1 LT5? ...
