MotorTrend's 2019 Best Driver's Car competition is taking place at Laguna Seca and it is interesting to see the results on a track that is a good mix of technical application and power. The lineup is good but does not have any high performance standouts. ...Published on 10-21-2019 01:02 PM
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 10:02 AM
Hennessey tuned this ZR1 to 1200+ horsepower and there is no reason to doubt it as they briefly held the LT5 1/4 mile record. Everyone is familiar with the beast that is the Mclaren 720S so how does it look going up against a highly tuned C7 ZR1 LT5? ...Published on 10-16-2019 09:43 AM
This is the same car that set the North American 60-130 record for the M840T McLaren 720S platform. What makes it impressive is that the owner states the McLaren 720S is on the factory turbochargers so Dyno Spectrum's tuning is working some magic. ...Published on 10-15-2019 04:51 PM
The world record for the McLAren 720S M840T 60-130 is 3.89 seconds set by a Dyno Spectrum tuned 720S in the Middle East. The North American record is 4.02 seconds and it also belongs to a Dyno Spectrum tuned McLaren 720S which is also on the factory turbos. ...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 10:05 PM
How can you not love the McLaren 720S? Not only is it absurdly fast right off the showroom floor you can extract plenty of more power out of it should you be a boost junkie. Which you are if you are reading this site. ...Published on 10-03-2019 08:51 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 10-01-2019 04:24 PM
Ferrari upped their game considerably with the 488 Pista but it still is slightly behind the 720S in performance namely on the highway. Gintani recently tuned a few examples and suffice it to say the 488 Pista sees some large gains after a dyno tune. ...Published on 09-28-2019 06:05 PM
Dyno Spectrum posted a video showing Dragy GPS figures for a McLaren 720S they tuned. The McLaren also has a set of catless M840T downpipes. Well, the numbers are ridiculously impressive for a 720S on the stock turbochargers. ...Published on 09-26-2019 04:01 PM
The McLaren F1 is revered and to this day no true successor exists. McLaren toys around with the idea but Gordon Murray tends to get the credit for the original McLaren F1. He was the designer and chief engineer after all and the car reflected his vision. ...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. ...
Variable compression engine possible thanks...
This sounds absolutely fascinating but...
