The Lotus Emira is a big deal. A new Lotus certainly gets the attention of enthusiasts as fewer and fewer cars like this are produced today. Plus, if you want a lightweight mid-engine sports car it tends to cost quite a bit more than where Lotus positioned the Emira. ...Published on 03-12-2022 08:11 PM
BimmerBoost saw the writing on the wall for ALPINA for some time. ALPINA does great work do not get BimmerBoost wrong but as BMW expanded the M lineup and started putting an M badge on everything to fill niches the ability for ALPINA to fill in the gaps in BMW's lineup grew smaller and smaller. ...Published on 03-12-2022 07:52 PM
Here is one of the big benefits of engine overlap between AMG and Aston Martin. Tuning development benefits both makes and the impressive AMR Performance Comport OBD-II flash at home tuning suite is now available to Aston Martin Vantage 4.0 M177 V8 owners. ...Published on 03-11-2022 07:42 PM
The Ferrari 296 GTB just may be a better car than the SF90. Yes, on paper it offers less power (only 819 horsepower compared to the SF90's 986 horsepower) but it is lighter and sends power to the rear wheels. ...Published on 03-11-2022 07:06 PM
Wow. Things sure are changing in a hurry but the Subaru WRX STI being cancelled was not something BoostAddict saw coming. This is bad news for enthusiasts as well as future internal combustion motors as a whole. ...Published on 03-10-2022 02:36 PM
Vi Engineered says this is a new 6 into 1 top mount N54 single scroll turbo manifold. By the looks of it you can probably fit as big of a turbocharger as you want if you do not mind the turbo sticking out of the hood. ...Published on 03-10-2022 12:42 AM
This is a heck of a build although BimmerBoost prefers a 1000+ horsepower S54's mated to a DCT. Still, this is different and while a 2JZGTE paired with a BMW DCT transmission is nothing new doing it in an E46 M3 certainly is new. ...Published on 03-09-2022 08:46 PM
Very nice gains on a B9 Audi S4 here that is only modified with a catless downpipe and ECC Stage 1 ECU (Engine Control Unit) plus TCU (Transmission Control Unit) tuning. Other than that, the car is stock on the factory turbocharger. ...Published on 03-09-2022 07:13 PM
There is no confirmation here and it just amounts to guesses but considering how closely the new C192 AMG GT is sharing the R232 SL-Class platform this is no surprise. It is starting to feel as if the AMG GT will be the coupe version of the SL with a bit more performance. ...Published on 03-09-2022 03:51 PM
An interesting tidbit here from Chevrolet who teased the new Blazer EV which is expected in 2023 as a 2024 model year vehicle. The EV push certainly is intensifying but for enthusiasts perhaps the Blazer SS will be of interest. ...Published on 03-09-2022 03:34 PM
This is not exactly a mall crawler. The new Bronco looks good here on 20-inch Vossen wheels and 35-inch Nitto Ridge Grappler tires. A very nice combination of more aggressive looks while retaining off-road prowess. ...Published on 03-09-2022 03:14 PM
It is not just ECU tuning being affected but now we have entire production lines shutting down. Why is Germany shutting down production of the Porsche Taycan EV (electric vehicle) in their Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen assembly plant? ...Published on 03-09-2022 01:42 AM
The McLaren 720S really is a marvel of a machine. Not only is the car stupid fast in stock form and responsible for raising the performance bar to absurd levels McLaren left plenty on the table for those who want more. Kudos to McLaren there. ...Published on 03-08-2022 10:01 PM
With a Ferrari you do not need to overdo it on the wheels. 'Bling' style wheels in a large size take away from the car. Sometimes less is more and keeping it simple lets the vehicle's pedigree do most of the talking. ...Published on 03-08-2022 02:42 PM
The ZF 8HP90 8-speed automatic gearbox is in quite a bit of BMW products these days. It almost feels as if every new BMW model features this gearbox (along with plenty of other makes). Now how about if someone made an LS or LT V8 swap into a BMW with this gearbox easy? ...
