The KIA Stinger is shaping up to a be pretty nice entry into the turbo six-cylinder field which sure is getting crowded. The car features a 3.3 liter twin turbo Lambda V6 with crank output of 365 horsepower and 376 lb-ft of torque. ...Published on 09-21-2017 11:21 AM
Hot on the heels of MotorTrend's 2017 Best Driver's Car competition comes their World's Greatest Drag Race where they have the contestants face off in a straightline contest. They did make one change though by replacing the Miata (which had no chance) with a Tesla Model S P100D. ...Published on 09-21-2017 10:42 AM
MotorTrend's Best Drier's Car competition is always interesting to watch. The videos are well done and they provide plenty of data. The field they choose is not always the most logical though. What the hell is a Lexus LC500 doing in this competition? Also, why is there no BMW? That omission may be BMW's fault more than that of anyone else. ...Published on 09-19-2017 11:24 PM
This is a great comparison from The Tuning School who tried out various fuels and provided great data. They compared 93 octane pump fuel, MS103, C9, E85, VP C85, MS109, leaded C16, 93 octane plus water, 93 plus boost juice, and 93 with methanol. ...Published on 09-19-2017 10:52 PM
Oh great, now the politically correct virus that infects America is coming for car advertisements. You know what a car ad is supposed to do? Get your attention. That is exactly what Mercedes-AMG accomplishes showing the new W213 generation E63 S model line up for a drag race. ...Published on 09-19-2017 08:12 AM
Car forums are a dirty business. Or at least, they can be. In MBWorld's case, dirty hardly covers it. This is the same forum that had such extreme corruption in the past regarding EVOSPORT it led to the rise of BenzBoost.com. ...Published on 09-13-2017 11:41 AM
Where do you even begin with this mess? After the article about yet another Dime Racing Huracan horror story BoostAddict was contacted by the owner as well as multiple parties contributing further details. Suffice it to say, Dime Racing is in big trouble. ...Published on 08-28-2017 05:22 PM
The research study below from LMC Automotive points to where the automotive industry is going. The direction is really not all that surprising. Engines are continuing to get smaller and the number of turbocharged engines is increasing. ...Published on 08-20-2017 02:22 PM
This network of websites never shies away from reporting what is truly going on in the aftermarket industry. It is a very dirty industry with many people ripping each other off and stabbing each other in the back for profit. That is no surprise to anyone. ...Published on 08-15-2017 11:43 AM
BoostAddict reported what was going on behind the scenes with Dime Racing. It seems people have not been paying attention or simply dismissed the reports. Remember when Dime Racing was taken to court by Weistec? BoostAddict posted the entire complaint with further details. ...Published on 08-03-2017 07:11 PM
You may have heard of BPM Sport and the owner Mike Benvo. For those unfamiliar, BPM is a BMW coding company. While they sell tunes Mike Benvo is not a tuner. This became glaringly obvious in a recent discussion (since deleted) where he attempted to warn people about unsafe tuning practices. ...Published on 07-19-2017 05:31 PM
This is a messy story. It starts with a report that five BMW's were street racing in North Carolina and their cars were impounded. In this type of situation a judge could potentially decide that the owners lose their vehicles to the state. A giant penalty. ...Published on 07-13-2017 09:21 PM
Dinan is no stranger to hypocrisy. Remember when Dinan stated piggyback tuning was bad? Well, now it's suddenly good when Dinan is selling Dinantronics piggybacks. Speaking of which, Dinan specifically had a tester release a dyno graph of their W205 C63 AMG M177 tune. ...Published on 06-21-2017 01:25 AM
There was a time where HRE Wheels were the most desireable wheels on the market. They had an unbeatable combination of looks, pricing, and performance. Along the way something happened and HRE has moved away from performance and focused more on profit margins. ...Published on 06-15-2017 08:21 PM
Movie race scenes (obviously with a heavy Fast and the Furious emphasis here) between cars often have little to do with reality. For some reason when one car is losing suddenly they shift and pull ahead as if they were not on the gas. Plus, who has sixteen gear transmissions anyway? ...
