It can be annoying when fanboys cite magazine numbers as evidence of what a car should run on a drag strip. Why? Because a Ferrari 812 Superfast is not running 138+ mile per hour trap speeds anywhere other than the pages of a magazine. ...Published on 03-15-2019 06:51 PM
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. ...Published on 03-14-2019 07:27 PM
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. ...Published on 03-08-2019 05:41 PM
This one is a little tough to explain as the Hellcat should be faster than a stock ZCP F80 M3. The Competition tune for the F80 M3 from the factory is slightly stronger than a base F80 M3 but not enough to explain why the Hellcat gets dominated the way it does. ...Published on 03-08-2019 08:03 AM
KRATOS did not just break the previous S55 record of 1087 wheel horsepower they also set several new overall BMW power records in the process. Frankly, BimmerBoost.com is having trouble compiling them all. This exceeds any recorded F-Series BMW to our knowledge as well as any recorded M3. ...Published on 03-07-2019 06:40 PM
Speed Academy did a great 100 treadwear track tire shootout between the Toyo R888R, Nankang AR-1, and Maxxis RC-1 tires. What was the test vehicle? A Scion FR-S. The issue there is the tire sizing does not apply to most of the cars on the BoostAddict network sites. ...Published on 03-05-2019 04:52 PM
Ladies and gentlemen, it's finally time to get off the keyboards and get to the track. BoostAddict.com in association with VF-Engineering is proud to present the BoostAddict.com 1/4 mile drag day at the Famoso dragstrip in McFarland, CA. ...Published on 03-04-2019 09:41 PM
This video comes from Hennessey so keep that in mind. They pit their '1000' horsepower Trackhawk against a stock McLaren 600LT. After a brief intro explaining to us the differences between sports cars and SUV's they line the cars up on the strip. ...Published on 02-26-2019 01:44 PM
Early on Hellcats on the dragtrip had an issue breaking driveshafts with hard launches on a prepped surface. What do you expect with 4500+ pounds being launched by a 6.2 liter twin screw supercharged V8 and 650 lb-ft of torque? ...Published on 02-20-2019 09:05 PM
Great news for those looking to knock some weight off their car. Antigravity Batteries updated their lithium-ion lightweight battery lineup with three options which feature a brand new wireless key fob remote for emergency starts. ...Published on 02-20-2019 06:21 PM
If you had to double or triple check it was California proposing this idea you are not alone. The idea makes so much sense and frankly is so damn cool it will never make it. California is considering adding two lanes to the I5 or CA-99 that will be allowed to top 100 miles per hour. ...Published on 02-08-2019 05:43 PM
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 01-31-2019 05:32 PM
This is an impressive Ford Focus RS especially when you take into account the car comes manual transmission only. That means it actually has to be driven. Not to mention this car is on the factory 2.3 liter Ecoboost I4 turbocharger. ...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? ...
