Car and Driver hosts a pretty good roadcourse competition every year at VIR (Virginia International Raceway) on the 4.1 mile long Grand West layout. They compiled a list of the top 25 times they achieved but keep in mind VIR was repaved at one point so it is not apples to apples for all the cars involved. ...Published on 12-23-2017 12:52 PM
Atco Dragway located in New Jersey is arguably the quickest and fastest strip in the country. Hell, maybe the world. Along with MIR (Maryland International Raceway) these dragstrips are magical places where C6 Z06's run 10's stock and records fall left and right when winter hits. ...Published on 12-22-2017 09:18 AM
This is the same automatic ATS-V that ran 10.9 @ 127 in the 1/4 mile with bolt on modifications. Weapon X Motorsports made changes since that run in 2016 but for whatever reason they are not sharing what those changes are. ...Published on 12-19-2017 12:34 AM
Let's hope Porsche is right about this. While discussing the hybrid 911 that is not coming to market anytime soon August Achleitner who is the head of sports car at Porsche stated he does not think the internal combustion engine will be dead by 2030. ...Published on 12-08-2017 09:03 PM
Is anyone keeping score of how many people have been scammed or stolen from by Dime Racing up to this point? BoostAddict is doing its best but admittedly there are so many horror stories to sort through it is tough to keep track. ...Published on 11-16-2017 02:22 PM
The new 2019 Corvette ZR1 LT5 motor illustrates the point well that direct fuel injection on its own is not the best choice for a performance car. You will notice an increasing trend of high performance cars coming to the market with dual fuel injection. ...Published on 11-06-2017 06:50 PM
A recent article on future motors possibly downsizing and going to individual turbos per cylinder prompted further research and the idea was done back in 2006. Owen Developments based in the UK decided to make it reality. ...Published on 11-03-2017 03:52 PM
This is something different and admittedly cool. You no doubt have seen people do raised white letters on tires. Pirelli is allowing customers to choose whatever color they want to accent their P Zero Color Edition tires. ...Published on 11-02-2017 08:11 PM
Road and Track gets this right although there are some surprising results in the 2018 Performance Car of the Year competition. Giving the crown to the 720S despite it being bested on the track by not one but two cheaper cars will make this controversial. ...Published on 10-25-2017 08:01 PM
This is a very cool video comparison by Mazda that gets right to the point. You should already know how fuel combusts in traditional gasoline and diesel internal combustion engines. If not, Mazda offers a great and simple overview here. ...Published on 10-24-2017 08:55 PM
This maybe is not as crazy or complex as it first seems. Keep in mind that moving turbos closer and closer to the motor to minimize exhaust travel distance is something manufacturers are all doing in an effort to decrease lag. ...Published on 10-20-2017 06:33 PM
If you pay attention to the world of high performance cars you know there are spectacularly fast twin turbo Lamborghini Huracans and Nissan GT-R's. Tuners pushing the limits in competition is great for enthusiasts and potential customers alike. ...Whipple Gen 3 2.9 liter twin screw results on a 2016 Cadillac CTS-V LT4 - 748 rwhp on 93 octane pump

It looks like tuners are starting to get more results with the new third generation 2.9 liter Whipple twin screw supercharger. General Motors will not admit it but the Eaton TVS1740 supercharger on the LT4 engines is simply too small and quickly is pushed out of its efficiency range. ...Published on 10-11-2017 06:42 PM
This is a bolt on Gen V Viper with your typical mods. He has the Arrow Racing ECU which is a canned tune essentially. Beyond that the Viper has the Belanger exhaust with cats, RSI headers, filer, and an underdrive pulley. It makes 576 horsepower and 532 lb-ft of torque at the wheels. ...Published on 10-03-2017 03:41 PM
This is a damn fast Cadillac CTS-V. Many guys going for big power and torque switch to turbochargers. Well, this owner remained supercharged but went to a huge 4.2 liter Kenne Bell. Oh, and he threw a bit of nitrous on top. ...
