We are all eagerly awaiting tests of the new C8 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 with the world's most powerful production naturally aspirated V8. Chevrolet officially released the 1/4 mile time for the car (no trap speed) of 10.6 seconds. ...Published on 11-12-2021 02:51 PM
Wow, is this really happening? Let's hope the reports are not clickbait as if true BMW is letting the Supra encroach on the M3. BimmerBoost continually rails on the weight of the G80 M3 but if the Supra does indeed get the S58 motor it will be the lightest chassis on the market with said powerplant. ...Published on 11-12-2021 12:43 PM
Great to see Porsche tuning parts from Weistec and some big numbers on pump fuel (with methanol injection). Slav at ECC (Eurocharged Canada) did his usual tuning magic on his all wheel drive Dynojet with this Porsche 991.2 Turbo S. ...Published on 11-12-2021 12:21 PM
Just on the cusp of 7's with a stock internal Audi R8 5.2 V10 running an AMS twin turbo setup tuned on a Motec standalone. This is now the factory 5.2 liter Audi R8 V10 1/4 mile record although it is not the 5.2 V10 stock internal platform record. ...Published on 11-11-2021 02:31 PM
It is understandable but disappointing that Audi will not let Volkswagen use the 2.5 TFSI EA855 turbo inline-5 powerplant. Why? Because a Golf with that motor would be an absolute street terror and quite the sleeper. ...Published on 11-11-2021 12:58 PM
The Porsche 992 Turbo S is a hell of a performance car but a hybrid powertrain in the 911 is simply an inevitability. There will likely still be a standard 911 Turbo model but the range topper when the 992.2 refresh comes about will be the Turbo S E-Hybrid. ...Published on 11-10-2021 07:31 PM
Attempting to force a factory ECU to do on the fly flex-fuel tuning is very difficult when it was not designed for that purpose plus modern encryption techniques make just basic ECU flash tuning quite difficult let alone more complicated tasks. ...Published on 11-10-2021 03:32 PM
Well, that last stock internal factory turbo S63TU and F90 M5 record 1/4 mile record did not last long now did it? Eurocharged Canada raised the bar for a bolt on F90 M5 with factory turbochargers, the factory transmission, and factory S63TU2 engine internals even further. ...Published on 11-10-2021 03:03 PM
Just a short and sweet video here showing the brand spanking new Ferrari 812 Competizione doing a launch control run. As a reminder, this special edition 812 features a 9500 rpm naturally aspirated V12 motor with 819 horsepower. ...Published on 11-10-2021 01:39 PM
Yes! Ford is on a bit of a roll selling absolutely awesome crate motor options as of late. This is the one many were waiting for and it is finally here. You can finally buy the 760 horsepower TVS2650 supercharged 5.2 liter Predator V8 as a crate engine. ...Published on 11-10-2021 01:00 PM
Usually big, heavy, fast, and nimble do not all go in the same sentence. Yet, the Rivian R1T somehow defies its heft. And hefty it is at a whopping 7,148 pounds which suddenly makes the Ram TRX seem a bit less plump. ...Published on 11-10-2021 12:11 PM
How about that? Mid-11's from a bolt on E92 M3 DCT S65 V8. As you know, squeezing power out of a relatively small naturally aspirated V8 with a high specific output to begin with is not easy. If you showed this 1/4 mile time to people when the E92 M3 came out, nobody would believe you. ...Published on 11-10-2021 11:42 AM
Sorry, we just can not get used to that grille. It looks better on the M models somehow but this Gran Coupe setup is just plain ugly. The nice thing is you do not have to look at it when driving and can enjoy the excellent B58 powerplant under the hood. ...Published on 11-10-2021 11:34 AM
Already? AddictEV.com literally just posted about this new Eluminator EV crate motor from Ford a week ago and the initial production run is already sold. Talk about a good sign for EV adoption among car enthusiasts, eh? ...Published on 11-09-2021 01:48 PM
We all know the Coyote V8 can make a ton of power with a blower and do so relatively easily as well as reliably. Ford knows this as well and Ford Performance will release a supercharger kit for the 2021 F-150's with a Coyote V8 that is warrantied and 50-state legal. ...
