Live in California? Have a loud exhaust? Well, read up. A lot of information is flying about regarding a new exhaust law in California with people stating they are immediately being fined $1000 rather than get a 'fix it' ticket. This is not exactly the case. ...Published on 01-15-2019 09:25 PM
A funny thing happens when enthusiasts clamor for a manual transmission when there is a DCT or automatic. They do not buy it. Well, at least not in enough numbers to make it financially rewarding for the manufacturer. ...Published on 01-14-2019 06:53 PM
Ford hit a home run here. No, a grand slam. While some of the big German makes are going away from the dual clutch transmission when paired with their big V8's Ford is for the first time in its history offering a Mustang with a dual clutch transmission. ...Published on 01-11-2019 03:41 PM
Procharger states the P-1X is capable of 850+ crank horsepower but that sure looks to be a conservative rating. This S550 Mustang GT topped 900 horsepower to the wheels using the P-1X blower. ...Published on 01-10-2019 08:04 PM
Great gains here from Prospeed Autosports who tuned this F-150 Raptor 3.5 Ecoboost V6 using the HP Tuners software. You can of course mess around with your software on your own using HP Tuners but most people will want a professional tuner doing the work on the dyno. ...Published on 01-10-2019 07:41 PM
Syvecs will be phasing out their very popular S6 line of standalone ECU's in favor of their new S7i and S7 Plus models. Why? Technology marches on of course and the new S7 units are incredibly capable. ...Published on 12-21-2018 04:24 PM
At the 2018 PRI (Performance Racing Industry) show the Oerlikon Group had 3D metal printed pistons and hollow stem titanium valves on display. 3D metal printers are expensive tools that are becoming more and more popular and they can do a variety of things. ...Published on 12-20-2018 01:41 AM
If you want to play in the California tuning market you better watch out for CARB or the California Air Resources Board. These 'emissions police' live for catching tuners violating emissions rules and then fining them out of existence. ...Published on 12-18-2018 04:33 PM
Sport Auto is a German publication and a funny thing happens when German publications include a Porsche against world rivals. The Porsche tends to win. Which is interesting because their comparison test includes the Ferrari 488 Pista which is destroying everything in its path. ...Published on 12-10-2018 07:10 PM
In a drag race, traction off the line is everything. If you want to improve your elapsed time you need to improve your 60 foot or short time. The rule of thumb is that every tenth the 60 foot is reduce results in a two tenth reduction in the 1/4 mile elapsed time. ...Published on 11-29-2018 12:03 PM
Well, you will finally be able to get your Shelby GT500 Mustang late next year. Ford posted yet another teaser and the official reveal will be on 1/14/19 at the North American International Auto Show. ...Published on 11-28-2018 02:32 AM
Absolutely no surprise here other than just how much faster the 720S is than the Ford GT. We already knew the McLaren 720S was much more powerful. We already knew it was lighter. We already knew it would win. ...Published on 11-28-2018 01:44 AM
Automotive magazines are not what they used to be and today survive predominantly on their established relationships with automakers. Many of those automakers are not afraid to abuse those relationships as the magazines are dependent on exclusive content to stay relevant. ...Published on 11-15-2018 08:51 PM
The new Ford GT sports one of the best designs of all time and it is a Le Mans winner but the street car despite offering incredible handling is a bit of a letdown. Say what you want, the 3.5 liter V6 twin turbo Ecoboost just is not standing up to its competition which also is cheaper. ...Published on 11-13-2018 08:28 PM
You have to give HRE props here for doing something different as their new designs seemed to stagnate. The end result here is not the most aesthetically pleasing wheel as it looks like something out of a Lego Technic kit but it certainly is different and points toward future design methods. ...
Great idea. ...
