This is just great data from Dyno Spectrum. You are used to seeing before and after ECU tune results on the tune but Dyno Spectrum went a few steps further and provided the optimal PDK shift points along with an axle torque graph showing torque per gear. ...Published on 05-23-2019 07:31 PM
You might be saying, why do this? Well for one, this 991.1 Turbo S was wrecked so it made a good candidate for a version to a Porsche 991.2 GT2 RS body. Secondly, it shows off the skill and capability of LNC Motorsport in Laguna Niguel, California. ...Published on 05-23-2019 06:45 PM
Some high horsepower Russian tuner builds here. Gosha Turbo Tech put together this Porsche 991.1 Turbo which is said to be making 1200 horsepower. The mod list and dyno backing up the claim are not provided but this 991.1 Turbo certainly performs well. ...Published on 05-22-2019 03:44 PM
Goodyear released some new high end rubber called the Eagle Supsport R and Eagle Supersport RS. The R is supposed to be more of a streetable high grip tire which likely will rival the Toyo R888R and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2. ...Published on 05-22-2019 01:52 PM
The Dallas News reports the state senate passed a bill which will outlaw red light cameras in Texas. The governor is expected to sign the bill into law which will make Texas the 11th state to ban the use of red light cameras. ...Published on 05-21-2019 09:25 PM
Wiseco pistons posted a great article explaining the purpose and function of the second piston ring. Many engine builders and engineers read this site and already know these details but for the rest of us who aren't experts there is some great technical piston and ring info in the article below. ...Published on 05-21-2019 08:55 PM
Interestingly enough this 164.01 trap speed matches exactly what an ES1100 tuned Porsche 991.1 Turbo S hit in Qatar. This US based car ran a quicker pass though with an 8.710 elapsed time making it both the quickest and fastest 991 Porsche in the United States. ...Published on 05-17-2019 03:36 PM
Great to see the new 992 Porsche 911 in comparisons and this one comes from the Germans at Sport Auto. Now keep in mind Sport Auto pretty much always has the Porsche come out on top so maybe there is some German bias at work in their comparisons. ...Published on 05-15-2019 06:12 PM
This network is critical of Carwow videos. Are they featured from time to time? Yes. Why? Because Carwow benefits from having certain cars available that never were sold in the US market plus an airstrip they seemingly get to use whenever they want to (poorly) test cars. ...Published on 05-15-2019 03:01 PM
Some nice runs here by @Payam@BMS with the BMS tuned Porsche 991.1 Turbo. Now, Porsche is a new market for BMS especially with 911 tuning but considering how hard Porsche is locking down modern ECU's this is a market you will see BMS expand further into. ...Published on 05-14-2019 08:53 PM
The large wings on Porsche 911 GT2 RS and GT3 RS serve a purpose. That purpose? Downforce. They are track cars and you want the car sticking to the ground when taking corners at high speeds. What about when off the track though? ...Published on 05-11-2019 06:52 PM
The electric Porsche sedan continues testing and a photographer caught pictures of the interior. They are not high resolution but there is enough here to get a general idea that Porsche is mixing the Mission E Cross Turismo Concept interior with the new 992. ...Published on 05-10-2019 08:55 PM
This is fun to see as it is a little different than your typical magazine drag race. For one, the cars are all wagons. Secondly, the Audi C6 generation RS6 is used which has a twin turbo 5.2 liter V10 plus a tune on it. Sadly, the US never received an Audi model with this motor (unforgivable). ...Published on 05-10-2019 05:34 PM
It seems a bit odd for a new Porsche GT3 model to utilize the same engine as a predecessor but it seems what is likely here is that the same architecture will be used. The 992 GT3 is expected to stay at 4.0 liters of displacement. ...Published on 05-09-2019 02:02 PM
A very impressive top speed run here with a 2018 Porsche 911 (991.2) GT2 RS. Why is it impressive? Because the factory aerodynamics remain in place. They do not pull the rear wing for this run so there is quite a bit of drag on the car. ...
