Remember California Assembly Bill 1824? As a refresher, if a Police Officer thinks your exhaust is too loud you get a mandatory $1000 ticket instead of the old fix it ticket. Well, you are not the only one who thinks the policy is just a government overreach to grab cash. ...Published on 02-02-2019 10:11 PM
This year's list is a couple of weeks late but this actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise with some major automotive performance debuts and achievements taking place just in time to sneak onto the list. Feel free to check out last year's best and worst of automotive performance list. ...Published on 01-29-2019 03:06 PM
You could say this is an interesting field but truly there are only a few standouts. Of the eight cars, does anyone really feel the Ford Fiesta ST or Volkswagen Up GTI really have a chance? Especially when cars like the 488 Pista, 991.2 GT2 RS, and McLaren 600 LT are included? ...Published on 01-25-2019 07:20 AM
This is a great article written by @HeadgamesDave (Headgames Motorworks) for speed.academy which goes over some misconceptions in the world of Cylinder Head Porting. Dave as you might recall was the one who examined F80 M3 and F82 M4 S55 valve float issues and developed a performance cylinder head. ...Published on 01-16-2019 12:33 AM
Live in California? Have a loud exhaust? Well, read up. A lot of information is flying about regarding a new exhaust law in California with people stating they are immediately being fined $1000 rather than get a 'fix it' ticket. This is not exactly the case. ...Published on 01-10-2019 07:41 PM
Syvecs will be phasing out their very popular S6 line of standalone ECU's in favor of their new S7i and S7 Plus models. Why? Technology marches on of course and the new S7 units are incredibly capable. ...Published on 12-21-2018 04:24 PM
At the 2018 PRI (Performance Racing Industry) show the Oerlikon Group had 3D metal printed pistons and hollow stem titanium valves on display. 3D metal printers are expensive tools that are becoming more and more popular and they can do a variety of things. ...Published on 12-18-2018 04:33 PM
Sport Auto is a German publication and a funny thing happens when German publications include a Porsche against world rivals. The Porsche tends to win. Which is interesting because their comparison test includes the Ferrari 488 Pista which is destroying everything in its path. ...Published on 12-10-2018 07:10 PM
In a drag race, traction off the line is everything. If you want to improve your elapsed time you need to improve your 60 foot or short time. The rule of thumb is that every tenth the 60 foot is reduce results in a two tenth reduction in the 1/4 mile elapsed time. ...Published on 11-28-2018 01:44 AM
Automotive magazines are not what they used to be and today survive predominantly on their established relationships with automakers. Many of those automakers are not afraid to abuse those relationships as the magazines are dependent on exclusive content to stay relevant. ...Published on 11-13-2018 08:28 PM
You have to give HRE props here for doing something different as their new designs seemed to stagnate. The end result here is not the most aesthetically pleasing wheel as it looks like something out of a Lego Technic kit but it certainly is different and points toward future design methods. ...Published on 11-07-2018 06:13 PM
McLaren kicked dust in Ferrari's face since they launched the MP4-12C back in 2011. It was not even close between the two. Well, it appears the 488 Pista is Ferrari finally fighting back if Autocar's 2018 best driver's car results are to be believed. ...Published on 11-06-2018 03:12 PM
This is an interesting setup and drag racers have messed around with volute injection for a while now. Essentially, you are spraying water/methanol directly into the compressor housing. Prometh says this increases the efficiency of the compressor output. ...Published on 11-05-2018 04:23 PM
Everyone knows the advantages of carbon fiber and various modern composites. Light weight while having very high strength. Metal still rules the engine building world but consider carbon fiber connecting rods for a moment. ...Published on 10-31-2018 10:52 AM
