No turbos, no dual clutch, no direct injection, and no nonsense. Just raw American cubic inches doing what they do they best. This 9.0 liter Gen V Dodge Viper managed a 9.750 @ 147.20 in the 1/4 mile on a 1.475 60 foot. ...Published on 10-24-2018 09:01 PM
Mopar is teasing a new crate motor joining their engine program and it appears to be a very exciting entry. Apparently this will be a naturally aspirated 426 cubic inch or 7.0 liter crate motor which will debut next week at SEMA. ...Published on 10-21-2018 12:01 AM
This is unfortunate news but it seems someone at Ford thinks selling the Ford Ranger Raptor in the US market is a bad idea. They are likely right if you are into profit above all else. Why? The Ranger Raptor would eat into F-150 Raptor margins. ...Published on 10-18-2018 06:33 PM
This leak comes from an Instagram user but appears to be legit. The details shared are that horsepower is in the 780-790 horsepower range and the transmission is a 10-speed automatic as BoostAddict speculated and not the DCT rumor which was obviously for hits. ...Published on 10-17-2018 06:51 PM
Like the LT5 V8 but envision it in another chassis or perhaps a project car? You are not alone. General Motors will soon have the LT5 6.2 liter supercharged V8 for sale and enthusiasts will no doubt power some jaw dropping builds with it. ...Published on 10-16-2018 10:14 PM
This video just further reinforces what a tuning value the MP4-12C is. Keep in mind in stock form the MP4-12C is quicker and faster than the Gen V Viper. It helps that it is a bit lighter and of course the dual clutch transmission makes a large difference. ...Published on 10-15-2018 03:08 PM
MotorTrend got their lucky paws on both of these high performance missiles that represent the best of the best from their respectives platforms. The 911 and Corvette battle rages on and the 2019 iteration brings us the most capable and powerful variants ever produced. ...Published on 10-09-2018 10:52 PM
We finally have the specs for the 2019 Ford Ranger motor and its towing capacity. Ford pegged output at a modest 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. This is enough to give the Ford Ranger best in class gasoline towing of 7500 pounds. ...Published on 10-09-2018 08:02 PM
The quickest and fastest Gen V Viper 1/4 mile pass belongs to Nth Moto and their 8.20 @ 180 run. The thing is, they swapped in an automatic transmission which certainly works well but is not the factory transmission. Vengeance Racing now holds the Gen V Viper 1/4 mile record for the factory manual transmission. ...Published on 10-03-2018 07:01 PM
If you do not feel like waiting for a Shelby GT500 the GT350 motor with a bit of boost will likely hold you over and then some. It may even be a better way to go. How exactly do you argue with a high revving 5.2 liter flat-plane crank V8 making over 1300 horsepower to wheels? ...Published on 10-01-2018 09:32 PM
This comparison is from Tyre Review on Youtube and worth watching as they compare three popular Michelin performance tires. Tire technology makes huge strides over time and this is an area any car can pick up large performance gains from. ...Published on 09-26-2018 07:11 PM
Flat-plane cranks tend to find their home in Italian exotic V8's and not domestic V8's. Certainly not in OHV designs but this C6 Z06 owner wanted to do something different. The flat-plane crank necessitates a different firing order hence the unique sound. ...Published on 09-25-2018 09:32 PM
There are some really bad shops out there. This is not the first time a shop crashed a customer's car when doing things in it they were not supposed to and it will not be the last. In the early years of BimmerBoost the story that got the most traffic that was when Discovery Automotive wrecked a customer's Ford GT. ...Published on 09-25-2018 06:21 PM
That is more like it! This is what we expect out of the Corvette ZR1 although many are struggling to hit impressive times at the strip. To be fair Weapon-X knows how to drag race their cars and they have some extensive modifications on their ZR1 (but no tune). ...Published on 09-21-2018 05:03 PM
VF-Engineering is offering their Hex Tuning software which can be flashed at home through the OBD-II port for the Ford Raptor Ecoboost. This is a 2018 model on their Mustang dyno putting down some very impressive numbers. ...
