This network of automotive performance forums is not a fan of Carwow. However, they keep getting important new cars to test so we are at their mercy for performance comparisons no matter how poorly they do them. ...

This is something a bit different hitting the market. Say hello to ALTi who specializes in CNC machined wheels. This is a new wheel company that has been in the works behind the scenes for some time. The difference with ALTi is due to the quality of the machining which means hand finishing is not necessary. There is no hiding of flaws this way. ...

BoostAddict is seeing more and more posts about chemical direct injection fuel system cleaning solutions. Color this website skeptical but over the years some pretty bad carbon build up (namely in Audi 4.2 FSI and BMW N54 motors) was posted and it took a direct physical solution to clean off the carbon deposits. ...

This stock Audi R8 V10 Plus runs some nice hardware at Moscow Unlimited. These are standing 1/2 mile races so the cars definitely stretch their legs. It is also interesting to see some high end factory stock cars run at this event. ...

Let's interject some automotive humor in between the usual serious horsepower posts. The California DMV is, well, what one could imagine hell to be. Endless rules, lines, red tape, fines, regulations, bureaucracy, and little to no fun. ...

Let us hope this does not pass or come into effect as it is madness. As if Volvo limiting all their cars was not bad enough the EU (European Union) is taking things a step further. Cars will be fitted with a mandatory speed limiter, emergency braking system, and electronic data recorders. ...

There is a reason car companies spend big money on exotic materials in order to reduce weight. Ford includes carbon fiber wheels on the Mustang GT350R because reducing rotational mass has quite an effect on performance. ...

This video really can be summed up in one screen grab but the guy sure loves to hear himself talk. The car you are familiar with as it is the ES750RS Porsche 991.1 Turbo S recently written about which has factory GT2 RS VTG turbochargers. ...

Wiseco has a Boostline product line of connecting rods which are said to be much, much stronger than traditional designs. What makes these rods different? They have a 3-pocket design that is said to be 60% stronger than traditional H-Beam rod designs. ...

This turbo upgrade was in the works for a while but VTT (Vargas Turbocharger Technologies) finally has what they are referring to as their MQB 'GC' turbocharger. This is not an IS38 hybrid but their own casting although it applies to the same models. ...

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. ...

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. ...
