This record will be topped and then topped again as temps drop and drag racing season gets going in negative DA (density altitude). What you see here though is what the new GT500 is capable of in factory trim and considering the curb weight, balance, and rear wheel drive layout the change to a DCT transmission is working wonders. ...Published on 12-05-2019 08:46 PM
The McLaren 600LT is currently the lightest production McLaren vehicle. They did not strip out weight and add power while adding downforce for fun. This car is designed to be a track weapon yet at its much lower price point can not be allowed to step on the toes of its 720S big brother. ...Published on 12-05-2019 08:05 PM
Now we are starting to cook with gas! Take a look at this very impressive Audi B9 S5 1/4 mile pass from an S5 EA839 3.0 with the Pure Turbos Stage 2 hybrid turbo upgrade. The car managed to hit 10.585 @ 134.39 miles per hour. ...Published on 12-05-2019 07:28 PM
You knew this was coming hot on the heels of the APR 718 software suite release. This is arguably the most impressive software release to date on the 991.2 9A2B6 3.0 platform and APR is providing considerable testing data along with being the first tuner to date so support OTS 100% E85 tuning. ...Published on 12-05-2019 07:22 PM
Great numbers here right in what is arguably the 'sweet spot' for the N54. This E92 335i belongs to BimmerBoost member @Lazyme870 and it has 160k+ miles on it. This car gets driven and with ~630 rear wheel horsepower must be a lot of fun. ...Published on 12-04-2019 07:26 PM
This just does not feel very McLaren. In a recent Car and Driver interview McLaren's CEO Mike Flewitt made some startling revelations including McLaren working on an wheel drive vehicle and that in 3-4 years we can expect all McLarens to be hybrid. ...Published on 12-04-2019 07:03 PM
While we wait for the Porsche 992 GT3 and Turbo models to debut we are getting more 992 Carrera S test numbers. Sport Auto did a lap test of the new 911 Carrera S and it is impressive topping some strong cars but falling short of the 991 generation GT3's. ...Published on 12-04-2019 05:26 PM
APR is absolutely crushing it on the Porsche front. They are quickly becoming the premier option on modern Porsche platforms and you can expect a spate of releases in quick succession. We are kicking things off with their 982 718 9A2B4 tune. ...Published on 12-04-2019 04:30 PM
You might be saying, didn't TTE (The Turbo Engineers) release a B58 hybrid upgrade already? Yes, that was the TTE510 hybrid for the B58 from a few months back. This is a new TTE580 with more power capability. ...Published on 12-03-2019 06:40 PM
Here is yet another billet engine block option for the Audi/Lamborghini 5.2 liter V10 and it is from Heffner Performance in association with Fountain Race Engines. For those wondering, Fountain Race Engines is well known in the offshore powerboat racing scene. ...Published on 12-02-2019 08:47 PM
This is the new Jaguar F-Type that was spotted testing not too long ago. The thinking was there would be a new platform under the skin but that is not the case. The exterior and interior get mild updates but everything else remains the same. ...Published on 12-01-2019 04:22 PM
Congratulations to PorscheBoost Porsche Performance Forums member @8SecDD for raising the bar yet again. This was his record to lose and he improved upon his previous 8.60 @ 173.87 pass from a month ago in his ESMotor ES1200 tuned 991.1 Turbo S. ...Published on 11-30-2019 05:13 PM
The M178 is a powerhouse and responds very well to tuning. It also helps that Mercedes-AMG puts the powerplant in a relatively light chassis (by AMG standards) which is the C190 AMG GT. There is also the additional benefit of the transaxle dual clutch transmission design ensuring great weight distribution and performance. ...Published on 11-30-2019 04:56 PM
Modern all wheel drive Porsche 911 models with PDK are very tough to beat from a stop. The 991.2 Turbo S in particular is going to pose a challenge in factory form let alone when modified. The torque down low and quick shifting PDK with launch control mixed in is usually a recipe for victory. ...Published on 11-27-2019 06:16 PM
BimmerBoost reported earlier this month that Dinan is back and tuning BMW's through flashing the ECU and not with that Dinantronics box that never really took off. Dinan again is an option to consider especially with the Plus Performance software which carries up to a four year, 50,000 mile warranty. ...
