The Camaro ZL1 1LE is a hell of a track car but it has everything working against it in this comparison. Why? Because it is going up against its Corvette ZR1 big brother that just happens to do everything better although at much greater cost. ...Published on 07-09-2018 09:21 PM
This E82 135i belongs to BimmerBoost member @suspenceful and avid readers are familiar with it as the owner does a great job documenting it. He took it to a recent rolling half mile event and ran just a little bit of everything. ...Published on 07-09-2018 05:31 PM
The British Grand Prix was exciting and one of the better races of the 2018 calendar year thus far. Ferrari and Mercedes-AMG had at it again proving whomever is going to come out on top at the end is really going to have to earn it and perhaps have some luck involved. ...Published on 07-03-2018 05:22 PM
The 7.0 liter LS7 V8 is a fantastic naturally aspirated motor and part of what made the C6 Z06 such a hit. It also helped that the C6 Z06 was the last time the model was considered light coming in at roughly ~3150 pounds. ...Published on 06-29-2018 03:22 PM
2000+ horsepower with direct injection only? Yep. That is what Katech Performance is claiming with their Katech Xtreme-DI fuel system. As you know direct injection quickly becomes a bottleneck when tuning especially when running ethanol. ...Published on 06-26-2018 01:22 PM
The French Grand Prix was interesting mostly due to the carnage from the first lap. Mercedes-AMG qualified 1-2 with Hamilton in front but Bottas was clipped going into an early turn by Sebastian Vettel which essentially relegated both Bottas and Vettel to the back of the pack. ...Published on 06-20-2018 06:12 AM
As you likely know Toyota won the 2018 24 Hours of Le Mans and Fernando Alonso was one of the drivers for the winning Toyota TS050 Hybrid. Toyota is going to celebrate the victory in style but just look at Fernando Alonso make his way through the field. ...Published on 06-18-2018 10:51 PM
Top speed claims these day are not what they used to be. Why? Because it is essentially a trade off between downforce and the drag generated by aero pieces designed to improve handling and top speed. Notice how this ZR1 is not testing with its adjustable rear wing. ...Published on 06-12-2018 11:53 PM
At this point there is no need to tell you how potent the 2.5 TFSI powered Audi RS3 sedan is and just let the car do the talking with runs on the highway against some potent competition. This particular RS3 has some Iroz upgrades and is on ethanol. ...Published on 06-12-2018 09:43 PM
Did you manage to make it through the 2018 Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix? I didn't. I fell asleep. I had to finish watching it today. Maybe it was the wine but it was really more the racing or rather lack thereof. Formula 1 is trying to bring in new fans with their ESPN deal and I am one of those new fans. ...Published on 06-11-2018 10:13 PM
There is a reason LS swaps are possible. They work, they're reliable, they're fairly affordable, and they can make huge power. Purists may hate seeing an American V8 under the hood but the owner is making too much horsepower to care. ...Published on 06-01-2018 07:00 PM
As many readers of BoostAddict have German cars and plan to purchase German cars this is concerning. Then again, you could say German automakers have taken advantage of the US market for some time with one-sided deals favoring them. ...Published on 05-17-2018 08:20 AM
This is rather incredible output from what is a stock block LS7. The 7.0 liter motor in the C6 Z06 is a very stout mill as we all know but rarely do you see it boosted to this level without significant internal reinforcement. ...Published on 05-17-2018 06:12 AM
So what is this MPVI2 product and what does it do? Well, it is an OBD-II device that when plugged in is capable of scanning, storing, diagnostics, logging, and ECU calibrations. As it has internal memory it can store logs as well as multiple maps. ...Published on 05-16-2018 01:30 PM
Some more dyno pulls from the LT5 powered Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 for context. Previously, a baseline Dynojet pull was posted from a 7-speed manual version and it showed 668 wheel horsepower and 644 lb-ft of wheel torque. ...
