One of the (few) good things Car and Driver does these days is the Lightning Lap which is possible thanks to their resources. This year has a good field but it is missing a few notables namely the C8 Corvette, Mustang GT500, and Ferrari 488 Pista. ...Published on 10-08-2019 10:05 PM
How can you not love the McLaren 720S? Not only is it absurdly fast right off the showroom floor you can extract plenty of more power out of it should you be a boost junkie. Which you are if you are reading this site. ...Published on 10-01-2019 05:20 PM
You likely saw this special needs teenage girl being paraded about recently as a climate expert. Why some girl who should be in school is going around lecturing people in Europe and North America that they will cause mass extinction in a decade is anyone's guess but maybe she should take her message to Chinese or Indian factories. ...Published on 10-01-2019 04:24 PM
Ferrari upped their game considerably with the 488 Pista but it still is slightly behind the 720S in performance namely on the highway. Gintani recently tuned a few examples and suffice it to say the 488 Pista sees some large gains after a dyno tune. ...Published on 09-28-2019 06:05 PM
Dyno Spectrum posted a video showing Dragy GPS figures for a McLaren 720S they tuned. The McLaren also has a set of catless M840T downpipes. Well, the numbers are ridiculously impressive for a 720S on the stock turbochargers. ...Published on 09-26-2019 04:01 PM
The McLaren F1 is revered and to this day no true successor exists. McLaren toys around with the idea but Gordon Murray tends to get the credit for the original McLaren F1. He was the designer and chief engineer after all and the car reflected his vision. ...Published on 09-25-2019 05:32 PM
Dynamometers are machines which are a tool for the automotive industry. Enthusiasts often fight wars on forums over dyno numbers and those numbers are just part of a much larger picture. Recently, dyno numbers from Equilibrium Tuning and their output claims on a Volkswagen MKVII Golf R raised eyebrows. ...Published on 09-25-2019 03:25 PM
Remember the utterly absurd California exhaust noise law (A.B. 1824) that would allow law enforcement to fine you $1000 for an exhaust deemed too loud? Motorists would receive an instant fine rather than a 'fix-it' ticket to address the issue. ...Published on 09-24-2019 04:04 PM
The mods on the McLaren 570S are unknown but it is said to be making somewhere around 700 horsepower. Regardless, a tuned McLaren 570S is no slouch and it takes something much stronger than a stock C7 Corvette Z06 to run with it. ...Published on 09-24-2019 02:26 PM
This sounds absolutely fascinating but frankly the engineering involved is way beyond our pay grade. In essence it seems this articulated rod can move and change the position of the piston which then impacts the compression ratio. ...The effect of unsprung weight on acceleration - 40-100, 60-100 testing with lighter wheels and tires
Published on 09-20-2019 08:54 AM
We all know lighter wheels and tires have an impact on performance. Reducing weight that rotates has a geometric effect. That is why you want to reduce unsprung weight as much as possible as the performance benefit multiplies to a greater degree than just reducing overall car mass by the same amount. ...Published on 09-19-2019 11:42 AM
Incredible numbers here from a Dyno Spectrum tuned McLaren 600LT. You likely recall this same 600LT topped out at 767 horsepower to the rear wheels on the factory fuel injectors. Well, take a look at the numbers now with upgraded Injector Dynamics ID1300's. ...Published on 09-18-2019 07:22 AM
Unfortunately politics often have a major effect on car enthusiasts and those in California living under CARB's (California Air Resources Board) iron fist are all too familiar with this. California in particular seems determined to infringe on the rights of car enthusiasts. ...Published on 09-16-2019 11:33 AM
We all know the McLaren 720S is the benchmark right now. The car is absurdly fast out of the box. Do not take the cheaper 570S/600LT platform less seriously just because it is not as fast off the showroom floor. There is a lot to be said for the value the entry level McLarens offer. ...Published on 08-30-2019 09:28 PM
You will likely remember this McLaren 720S. It is indeed the world's fastest McLaren 720S and it is tuned by Dyno Spectrum. A couple months back it was the first McLaren 720S to top 160 miles per hour of trap speed in the 1/4 mile. ...
Variable compression engine possible thanks...
This sounds absolutely fascinating but...
