You should remember the Volkswagen I.D. R. Almost two years ago it set a new Pikes Peak hillclimb record and it turned an incredible 6:05.336 laptime on the Nurburgring setting a new all electric Nurburgring lap record. ...Published on 02-19-2020 09:26 PM
Adding power is one thing but keeping the car cool with increased boost pressure and WOT driving is an entirely different issue. Do not skimp on cooling or your next track day or launch in summer weather may trigger a limp mode when you least expect or want it. ...Published on 02-01-2020 06:11 PM
After they do their Best Driver's Car competition MotorTrend uses the cars again for a big drag race. It is a good way to generate extra content from the same set of cars and this year we have a nice selection for a 12-way race. ...Published on 01-24-2020 09:33 PM
One of the most frustrating parts of motorsports is being able to watch the race in question in the comfort of your own home. 24 Hour events in particular prove difficult to view due to the length. Well, the Daytona 24 Hours kicks off the IMSA calendar and you can say it is the definitive 24 Hour motorsport event in North America. ...Published on 01-22-2020 01:38 PM
There were some who thought Volkswagen might get aggressive with the MK8 generation Volkswagen Golf and really attempt to appeal to enthusiasts. There was even discussion about a 400+ horsepower Golf R Plus that would really make a splash. ...Published on 12-27-2019 05:02 PM
However you feel about government if you are on this site you likely enjoy driving, modifying, and racing cars. Unfortunately, as you no doubt read certain areas and certain people want to make it illegal for you to work on your car or do anything fun at all with it. ...Published on 12-20-2019 01:40 PM
Dynocom is well known and they have various dynamometers depending on the application. It is true that horsepower continues to grow and dynos that can handle high horsepower race cars (such as NHRA Pro Mod) are few and far between. ...Published on 12-19-2019 10:05 AM
Very impressive 10-second performance from the MKVII Volkswagen Golf R running a prototype hybrid Etuner's EA888 2.0 TFSI turbocharger. Expect this turbo to launch next year but just look at the performance it is capable of propelling this Golf R into the 10's. ...Published on 12-18-2019 10:33 AM
A respectable result here for a MKVII Volkswagen Golf R on 94 octane pump fuel with bolt ons plus a Tomioka Racing IHX475 turbo upgrade. Of course there will be those who point out there are quicker and faster Golf R's but running 11's on pump fuel is solid. ...Published on 12-12-2019 01:03 AM
This is the new flagship product from Haltech set to be officially unveiled at the PRI (Performance Racing Industry) show. BoostAddict noticed various tuners raving about how it will change the game so the hype is there. ...Published on 12-06-2019 08:56 PM
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 11-23-2019 11:54 AM
Volkswagen is quite serious about their electric push and never repeating their dieselgate fiasco. Racing leads the way in electric vehicle development as drivetrains are tested in the most strenuous of circumstances. ...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 11-06-2019 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. ...
