A fast F-150 is nothing new as the SVT Lightning showed us over two decades ago. Going this fast relatively easily with a V6 F-150 on stock internals is relatively new though. Ecoboost tuning is creating F-150's that can show a C8 Corvette their tail lights. ...Published on 12-29-2021 05:02 PM
Who needs a G80 M3? Here is one way to ignore those stupid kidney grilles on the M3 yet still make stupid levels of power. The B58 is no slouch as it continues to prove and it seems really that the B58 can do everything the S58 can and then some right now. ...Published on 12-29-2021 04:32 PM
Good to see more MK8 Volkswagen GTI numbers especially from the Dynojet. BMS is of course tuning the platform and the EA888 2.0 liter turbocharged and direct injected I4 is pretty familiar to Volkswagen enthusiasts at this point. ...Published on 12-28-2021 08:04 PM
The Mercedes-AMG versus BMW M battle never ends. Perhaps the hottest fights are between the BMW M3/M4 and Mercedes-AMG C63 enthusiasts. Really, this all really began with the W203 C32 AMG versus the E46 M3 and continues on today. ...Published on 12-28-2021 04:56 PM
The vast majority of N54's running aftermarket camshafts are running options from Schrick. However, Cat Cams also offers camshafts BimmerBoost first posted about over four years ago offering different profiles. ...Published on 12-28-2021 04:41 PM
Even the supercars are not immune. The McLaren Artura is ushering the next generation of performance hybrids (at a much more affordable price point than the unicorn P1) but those interested will have to wait until the second half of 2022. ...Published on 12-27-2021 10:14 PM
Is the Alfa Romeo Giulia GTAm a BMW killer? Well, it depends what BMW you are talking about. Really, the G80 M3 is the competition and frankly the G80 M3 is the better performance car especially when you factor in the money. ...Published on 12-27-2021 07:23 PM
You did not think Maserati was going to leave the MC20 as one model, did you? Maserati intends to produce several derivatives including a convertible/spider model as this is definitely the type of car you want to be seen in. ...Published on 12-27-2021 04:52 PM
The C8 Audi RS6 is pretty heavy but fortunately it responds very, very well to tuning. Take this bolt on tuned example here pushing over 800 horsepower at the crank with a fairly modest tuning recipe on pump fuel. ...Published on 12-27-2021 03:11 PM
BenzBoost witnessed a spate of big dyno numbers from twin turbo V8 AMG's recently but few 1/4 mile times backing up the dyno figures. This C63 is not making waves on the dyno but on the dragstrip setting a new overall W205 C63 AMG 1/4 mile record. ...Published on 12-27-2021 02:51 PM
The performance barometer for a street car is no longer the McLaren 720S but a Tesla Model S Plaid. That means the trap speed necessary is up from ~140 miles per hour to ~150 miles per hour to be considered fast. ...Published on 12-21-2021 02:12 PM
You may have noticed a discussion or two on BMW forums the past couple years with a certain theme regarding the G80 M3 design. What is that theme? That the front bumper kidney grille design is absolutely horrendous. ...Published on 12-21-2021 01:56 PM
What we all really want to see are the C8 Corvette Z06 times but C8 Stingray laptimes namely from sources outside the US are always interesting to watch. This lap test comes from the French outlet Motorsport Magazine. ...Published on 12-21-2021 12:52 PM
The GLC63 AMG S is an amazing mid-size SUV performance platform. Why? It is the only vehicle in the segment offering a twin turbo V8 meaning it is the lightest SUV you can buy in the world today with a factory production twin turbo V8. ...Published on 12-21-2021 12:34 PM
Ghassan Automotive as usual is pushing the BMW N54 platform to new limits. They hold basically every N54 record worth holding and now are pushing further. Many wondered when the N54 block would say no more and, well, now we know. ...
