Wowzers. Now, this is the quickest stock internal Audi R8 and 5.2 V10 pass on record thus far. Underground Racing still has the fastest pass with a 184.42 mile per hour run in a Lamborghini Huracan. ...Published on 12-10-2021 01:55 AM
Whipple just continues their twin screw supercharger releases with this latest 3.8 liter debuting at the PRI (Performance Racing Industry) show. This unit is designed for GM LS Gen V small block V8 applications. ...Published on 12-10-2021 01:15 AM
Hot damn that's moving! This is an absolutely ridiculous 60-130 from a BMW G80 M3 still on the factory S58 turbochargers. 5.58 seconds is an absolutely smoking time and it is almost too good to be true. ...Published on 12-10-2021 01:04 AM
This is absurd on so many levels we do not know where to begin. First of all, a 6-second 1/4 mile pass is absolutely insane in a rear wheel drive car. Beyond that, hitting over 200 miles per hour is amazing let alone in only a 1/4 mile. ...Published on 12-08-2021 09:48 PM
Sad? Perhaps. We have a new RS3 with the 2.5 TFSI drivetrain but the TT-RS is ending production. Will we see a next gen Audi TT? Most likely. The question is, what direction will Audi take it in? ...Published on 12-06-2021 10:45 PM
The Audi R8 joins the Lamborghini Huracan V10 in the 7.X 1/4 mile elapsed time range on the factory 5.2 V10 engine internals. This was pretty much inevitable after Iroz Motorsport previously posted a stellar 8.07 @ 176.97 1/4 mile run in their shop R8. ...MotorTrend sensationalizing again? New Nissan Z said to not be a new chassis but where is the proof?

MotorTrend gets plenty wrong and their quality declined significantly in the past decade. Spectacularly, embarrassingly wrong. They are not above clickbait and frankly seem to be increasingly striving for clickbait these days. ...Published on 12-06-2021 06:51 PM
How do you feel about the design of the new Z car? Well, maybe seeing it as a GT500 (Super GT) race car will change your feelings. What NISMO/Nissan did here obviously is all functional and designed for professional motorsport. ...Published on 12-06-2021 06:24 PM
For those out there wondering how beefy of a platform the EA839 3.0 V6 is take a look here. These are pictures of the factory motor disassembled to give you an idea of how it is built and Audi took strength seriously. ...Published on 12-06-2021 05:23 PM
Why does elevation matter? Because the higher up you are the less dense the air is and the more power you lose. Those living at elevation know this all too well which is why forced induction vehicles are a popular choice for those enthusiasts. ...Published on 12-06-2021 05:03 PM
Bad blood brewing between the two companies? Perhaps. As the Rivian R1T beat the Ford F-150 Lightning to market Ford and Rivian last month announced they would no longer jointly develop any future EV projects. ...Published on 12-06-2021 04:41 PM
Why are these two track specials being drag raced? Well, because it's far easier to compare them in a straight line which does not require the resources of a proper roadcourse lap comparison. Plus, it's fun. ...Published on 12-06-2021 04:16 PM
An extra 1.2 liters of displacement out of the VR38DETT engine platform? That's right. That is what Elmer Racing is going for here. Some people believe boost is a replacement for displacement but if you can increase both significantly ideally for competition you do it. ...Published on 11-26-2021 02:43 PM
This was inevitable considering the Tesla Model S Plaid runs low 9's out of the box. As tuning is not part of the equation really it is a game of getting the weight down and more traction off the line to improve the ET (elapsed time) of the Model S Plaid. ...Published on 11-24-2021 08:24 PM
Here are two of the best vehicles in the performance hatchback game. The 2022 Volkswagen Golf R of course being the new MK8 entry although the recipe stays pretty much the same. You have an EA888 2.0 turbocharged and direct injected inline-4 with a DSG dual clutch transmission sending power to all four wheels. ...
