This Mercedes-AMG GLC63 built by GAD Motors is a stout performer. It better be considering it has the works from tuner GAD including a built motor, built transmission, and M177 turbo upgrade. Output is stated to be around 950 horsepower. ...Published on 03-16-2019 04:51 PM
That did not take very long, now did it? This W205 generation Mercedes-AMG C63 S ran 10.189 @ 137.93 in the 1/4 mile earlier this week. The BenzBoost Mercedes-AMG Performance Forums speculated we would see 9's shortly and here we are. ...Published on 03-15-2019 06:51 PM
As manufacturers become more adept at keeping tuners out (why would we buy cars we can't tune? where is the fun in that?) standalone options will become more and more prevalent. Rather than trying to work within the confines of the factory programming replacing the entire factory system with a Syvecs standalone makes a lot of sense. ...Published on 03-15-2019 04:27 PM
This is bewildering but the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4Matic+ 4-Door Coupe continues to set unbelievable laptimes. If you read it topped the F90 M5 that would not be too hard to believe but what about its own C190 AMG GT S Coupe sibling? ...Published on 03-14-2019 07:27 PM
Antigravity batteries is doing some very cool things in the world of automotive batteries. They have their lightweight lithium-ion batteries with remote jump start you likely know of but also their new Battery Tracker technology which allows real-time bluetooth monitoring of your battery. ...Published on 03-14-2019 12:35 PM
A 7:44.13 is not bad but it sure does make you scratch your head as to what magic Mercedes-AMG is using on the AMG GT 63 S 4Matic+ 4-Door Coupe to get a laptime almost 20 seconds quicker in independent testing. ...Published on 03-12-2019 08:14 PM
A very impressive M177 run here and it interestingly comes not too long after the M178 broke into the 9's (although not on an NHRA accredited strip). The M177 is on the verge of that first 9-second pass with this Yabeela Stage IV turbo upgraded Mercedes-AMG C63 S running a 10.189 @ 137.93 pass. ...Published on 03-12-2019 05:21 PM
It is easy to claim horsepower output but much harder to prove it. Turbo Systems in Lithuania has some interesting turbo upgrades with some fairly good results. However, BenzBoost has yet to see any proof of these M177 turbochargers making 1000+ horsepower or anything close. ...Published on 03-09-2019 08:01 PM
You would think being the first 9-Second C190 AMG GT or M178 would come with bigger fanfare but PP-Performance did not do a good job highlighting this achievement. For one, where is the timeslip? Seriously, why in the world do we even need to ask for a slip when claiming a 1/4 mile record? ...Published on 03-08-2019 08:03 AM
KRATOS did not just break the previous S55 record of 1087 wheel horsepower they also set several new overall BMW power records in the process. Frankly, BimmerBoost.com is having trouble compiling them all. This exceeds any recorded F-Series BMW to our knowledge as well as any recorded M3. ...Published on 03-07-2019 06:40 PM
Speed Academy did a great 100 treadwear track tire shootout between the Toyo R888R, Nankang AR-1, and Maxxis RC-1 tires. What was the test vehicle? A Scion FR-S. The issue there is the tire sizing does not apply to most of the cars on the BoostAddict network sites. ...Published on 03-05-2019 04:52 PM
Ladies and gentlemen, it's finally time to get off the keyboards and get to the track. BoostAddict.com in association with VF-Engineering is proud to present the BoostAddict.com 1/4 mile drag day at the Famoso dragstrip in McFarland, CA. ...Published on 03-05-2019 03:24 PM
The Moscow Unlimited run videos actually do a pretty good job showcasing straightline performance. The timing equipment is not NHRA certified but that is fine as the cars are all on the same playing field when running against each other. Also, you get data and splits which help you understand what exactly is taking place during the race. ...Published on 03-04-2019 05:44 PM
Well, here it is, the four top accelerating super sedans on the market today. Yes, a Tesla Model S P100D is included and that is basically all the P100D is good for unlike the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4MAtic+ 4-Door which is proving to be a terror on the track and not just a one-trick pony. ...Published on 03-04-2019 02:41 PM
The C190 AMG GT R is a highly impressive performance car as its 7:10.92 Nurburgring laptimes attests to. What about if you not care about a tenth here or there that much but want the AMG GT R's power, handling, and styling available as a convertible? ...
