The new RS6 is not yet on the streets in the US but European enthusiasts get to sample it first. Early acceleration tests showed the new RS6 is quick but it is not dropping any jaws in stock form. HGP tuned the EA825 V8 ECU and these are their Stage 1 results. ...Published on 01-22-2020 01:38 PM
There were some who thought Volkswagen might get aggressive with the MK8 generation Volkswagen Golf and really attempt to appeal to enthusiasts. There was even discussion about a 400+ horsepower Golf R Plus that would really make a splash. ...Published on 01-22-2020 12:52 PM
The GT500's sure are going to be a handful. This Porsche 997.2 Turbo certainly is no slouch with an AMS Alpha 9 package (750+ awhp) but it is a manual transmission example. It certainly looks like shift speed plays a large part in its demise. ...Published on 01-22-2020 12:40 PM
The quickest and fastest 1/4 mile record for the new Ford Shelby GT500 Mustang is going to be broken and broken again seemingly every other day. We have a new quickest pass here at 9.708 seconds and a new fastest pass at 145.09 miles per hour. ...Published on 01-22-2020 12:06 PM
So how quick is 100-200 kilometers per hour in 7.07 seconds in context? A Ferrari 458 Spider takes 7.4 seconds. A Porsche 991.1 Turbo S takes roughly 7.2 seconds. A Lamborghini Aventador LP-700-4 will do it in 6.3 seconds. A 2012 Nissan GT-R needs 7.8 seconds. ...Published on 01-22-2020 11:24 AM
Almost 160 miles per hour out of the factory turbochargers without any nitrous assist? Unreal! This was achieved by Ekanoo Racing in Bahrain. The status of the Bahrain drag strip may make this run questionable for some. ...Published on 01-19-2020 02:31 PM
The Audi C7 S6 continues to show what a performance tuning value it is. This C7 S6 EA824 4.0 TFSI V8 is running the Dyno Spectrum DS1 Stage 1 pump E85 tune. That is it. No additional custom tuning or fueling upgrades here. ...Published on 01-19-2020 11:37 AM
If you are driving around in a bright yellow Lamborghini Urus do you really need more attention? Well, if you do Vorsteiner is where you can go to in order to make your $250k+ Lamborghini SUV stand out even more. ...Published on 01-19-2020 10:01 AM
The LT5 from GM and the Predator V8 from Ford are the two powerplants at the top of the domestic game. The LT5 has an advantage in time on the market but considering both of these motors have TVS2650's from the factory we are going to see massive power from both in the aftermarket. ...Published on 01-18-2020 10:42 AM
Carwow has little to no credibility here. We call out their bullshit time and time again. It is all about getting likes and views from the masses though so Carwow creates misleading videos in order to get more views so Carwow can get get car commission sales and that is what this is all about. ...Published on 01-18-2020 09:21 AM
The new GT500 with its 5.2 liter Predator V8 is taking all of the headlines but do not forget how potent the 5.2 liter naturally aspirated Voodoo V8 is. A little bit of boost does wonders for the GT350 as this Whipple twin supercharged example shows. ...Published on 01-18-2020 08:54 AM
The E9X market is somewhat polarizing. You can pick up an E92 335i today for a pair of used socks and some floppy discs. It has led to a decline in quality in aftermarket parts as well as enthusiasts. There is natural turnover every new 3-Series generation but the E9X M3 value is holding much better than its turbo counterparts. ...Published on 01-18-2020 08:28 AM
We covered the impact going catless (straight pipe) compared to high-flow catalytic converters on modern Porsches previously. With emissions rules tightening you can still remain emissions compliant while opening the car up both in sound and performance. ...Published on 01-17-2020 08:33 AM
Well, this is one way to get a big turbo to fit in the N54 engine bay without having to worry about routing exhaust piping. Innova'Tig in Puerto Rico designed this very nice looking top mount V-bang single turbo manifold and simply dumped the exhaust through the hood. ...Published on 01-17-2020 07:53 AM
The ZL1 1LE Automatic is the Camaro that has to be compared to the new Mustang GT500 simply because it is the highest performance Camaro GM makes. The new GT500 breathes fire though and the LT4 V8 is simply outgunned here (why not an LT5 Camaro GM?). ...
Easy 9's? JB4 tuned BMW F92 M8 S63TU2 V8...
Does the F92 M8 have a slight advantage...
