This is a major win for farmers selling corn who lobbied the Trump administration regarding larger purchases of ethanol. What does this mean for car enthusiasts? It means more ethanol. You will see more ethanol in your gasoline and E15 will see greater adoption. ...Published on 10-19-2019 12:41 PM
The idea of a compressor powered by electricity is nothing new. Mass adoption of a turbo that uses electricity to instantly spin the compressor before having to wait for exhaust gases certainly would be new. That is what Garrett promises with the E-Turbo set to hit the market in 2021. ...Published on 10-17-2019 11:21 AM
The idea of a Formula 1 Grand Prix in Miami is not anything new. It was on again then off again and now it appears it really is happening. The Formula 1 Grand Prix of Miami is expected to take place in 2021. ...Published on 10-17-2019 08:36 AM
The BMS JB4 is on everything these days, eh? The best way to show how well it works is with a simple before and after acceleration result. That is why you are buying it after all, isn't it? To improve power, torque, and acceleration. ...Published on 10-15-2019 01:09 PM
We posted about 4.2 liter Ecoboost builds from RMB Motor Works before but those were mostly Gen 1 Ecoboost builds. These cranks for specifically for Raptor Gen 2 3.5 V6 builds which RMB is doing several 4.2 liter setups for. ...Published on 10-11-2019 08:02 PM
One of the (few) good things Car and Driver does these days is the Lightning Lap which is possible thanks to their resources. This year has a good field but it is missing a few notables namely the C8 Corvette, Mustang GT500, and Ferrari 488 Pista. ...Published on 10-08-2019 08:50 PM
The Shelby GT350 is in another comparison shootout hot on the heels of Car and Driver's best $60k sports car comparison. The GT350 won that comparison and MotorTrend has it punching up a weight class taking on the brand new 992 Porsche 911 Carrera S. ...Published on 10-01-2019 05:20 PM
You likely saw this special needs teenage girl being paraded about recently as a climate expert. Why some girl who should be in school is going around lecturing people in Europe and North America that they will cause mass extinction in a decade is anyone's guess but maybe she should take her message to Chinese or Indian factories. ...Published on 09-27-2019 08:12 PM
Car and Driver got their hands on four very hot cars in the ~60k price range. Amazingly, yes, you can put the 718 Cayman and Ford GT350 Mustang in the same sentence if going by their base price. The GT350 is actually the more expensive car in that case. ...Published on 09-25-2019 05:32 PM
Dynamometers are machines which are a tool for the automotive industry. Enthusiasts often fight wars on forums over dyno numbers and those numbers are just part of a much larger picture. Recently, dyno numbers from Equilibrium Tuning and their output claims on a Volkswagen MKVII Golf R raised eyebrows. ...Published on 09-25-2019 03:25 PM
Remember the utterly absurd California exhaust noise law (A.B. 1824) that would allow law enforcement to fine you $1000 for an exhaust deemed too loud? Motorists would receive an instant fine rather than a 'fix-it' ticket to address the issue. ...Published on 09-24-2019 02:26 PM
This sounds absolutely fascinating but frankly the engineering involved is way beyond our pay grade. In essence it seems this articulated rod can move and change the position of the piston which then impacts the compression ratio. ...Published on 09-24-2019 01:12 PM
Why a manual and why 33-inch off-road tires for the new Ford Bronco? Because of the Jeep Wrangler of course! Ford is taking direct aim at the Wrangler and intends to offer just as much capability and off-road prowess. ...The effect of unsprung weight on acceleration - 40-100, 60-100 testing with lighter wheels and tires
Published on 09-20-2019 08:54 AM
We all know lighter wheels and tires have an impact on performance. Reducing weight that rotates has a geometric effect. That is why you want to reduce unsprung weight as much as possible as the performance benefit multiplies to a greater degree than just reducing overall car mass by the same amount. ...Published on 09-19-2019 11:04 AM
Throttle house got two popular performance cars together for a track comparison. Those being the Mustang GT which is the value choice here and the new Toyota Supra. Both are rear wheel drive, both are automatic, and both have huge fan followings. ...
Variable compression engine possible thanks...
This sounds absolutely fascinating but...
