The Cannonball run is something of legend in American automotive circles and the famous coast to coast United States run spawned two movies in the 80's. These days, the endeavor is something people take on by themselves and it is more difficult than ever due to law enforcement. ...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 11-21-2019 06:45 AM
Remember back in 2018 when composite (carbon fiber) connecting rods debuted at SEMA? They retailed for $18,000.00 and the idea was for a drag racing team to buy a set as it would cut down on costs eventually and be much more reliable. ...Published on 11-14-2019 06:42 PM
The Mercedes-AMG GT R Pro is an even hotter version of the already stellar C190 AMG GT R. It laps the Nurburgring in 7:04.6 minutes and that is what it is built to do: set absolutely spectacular laptimes. ...Published on 11-06-2019 01:14 PM
Garrett is making some bold statements here with their three new 'mild frame' G30/G35 turbochargers. You have the G30-900, G35-950, and G33-1050 which Garrett states do not have an equal from the competition at the moment at the moment. ...Published on 11-05-2019 04:31 PM
Sorry to play spoiler but seeing the Hyundai Veloster N win a Performance Car comparison that includes some very nice hardware makes you scratch your head. BoostAddict will defend Road and Track's choice though but not because the Veloster N is the best performance car produced in 2020. ...Published on 11-04-2019 12:33 PM
Why is this Carwow video being featured? Because while Panamera vs. E63 is done to death you rarely see the E63 wagon go at it with the Panamera Sport Turismo. The main difference in the powertrains here is that the Panamera is a hybrid with a PDK dual clutch transmission. ...Published on 11-02-2019 04:13 PM
Pure has a new Pure1000 turbo upgrade option for the M177 V8 in the W213 generation Mercedes-AMG E63. We have two sets of dyno results to share with one from a Dynojet and the other from a Mustang dynamometer. ...Published on 10-31-2019 12:13 PM
Some good natured ribbing is fun, right? Someone at BMW has a sense of humor and added an F90 M5 car cover Halloween costume to the BMW parts and accessories catalog. The car it is covering appears to be an E53 AMG. ...Published on 10-30-2019 02:25 PM
Finding good fuel for those days when you want to hit the roadcourse, dragstrip, or 1/2 mile event is not as easy as most people think. Pump E85 is great but it variest in ethanol content and when your car is in kill mode you want consistency and reliability. Enter ETS Racing Fuels. ...Published on 10-28-2019 06:43 PM
The main roadblock for modern Mercedes-AMG's seemed to be the TCU (transmission control unit) software. It seems tuners are able to address the TCU now on the 722.9 MCT transmission which means upgraded hardware to pair with the software is key. ...Published on 10-28-2019 03:43 PM
Part of the problem in the aftermarket is finding companies that truly deliver as promised. Unfortunately, the tuning scene is filled with crooks but also many reputable companies that stand the test of time. ECS Tuning certainly is one that stood the test of time. ...Published on 10-26-2019 03:03 PM
This is an interesting development from TurboSource. Now variable A/R (Aspect Ratio) in a turbocharger is nothing new as that is exactly the idea behind VTG (Variable Turbine Geometry) turbochargers which Porsche is well known to use in production cars. ...Published on 10-25-2019 05:36 PM
Solid results here from a W213 generation Mercedes-AMG E63 S. This E63 AMG received the Yabeela Parts YP4 or Stage 4 M177 4.0 V8 turbo upgrade and was tuned on pump fuel along with supplemental methanol injection on the Prime Motoring Mustang dyno. ...Published on 10-24-2019 03:21 PM
A little while back a drag race was posted featuring a 991.2 C4S versus a Mercedes-AMG GT. The Porsche won due to all wheel drive traction. Well, we have a repeat here except it features the more powerful Porsche 991.2 Carrera 4 GTS against the Mercedes-AMG GT S. ...
