We head to Palm Beach International Raceway for the last test and tune before they closed the gates and shutdown. The owners are trying to sell the track to a warehouse developer but the re-zoning needed was denied, temporarily leaving the track in limbo as we wait for the new hearing on September 22, 2022. There is a backup buyer ready to proceed that will keep it a race track, more information visit: https://www.savepalmbeachraceway.com

Summer is here and the time is right for racing in the streets! That ain’t the way the song goes but it sure makes for some interesting evenings. Let’s get down to Texas (Mexico) and see what all these McLarens are buzzing about. The first McLaren to take the interstate is rolling against a twin turbocharged Dodge Viper. That’s creating a ton of horsepower when you add twin turbos to an already potent 8.4-liter V10. The Viper gets the early advantage but can’t hold the McLaren off through the trap. McLaren FTW. Next, the TT Viper takes on a pair Read More

Today, we are taking a ride along with Forza Tuning and Performance founder and President Brenton Brown in a McLaren 720S. Brenton is an entrepreneur, a father and one of the leading performance gurus in the nation. Just for kicks, Brenton is putting the McLaren up against a stock Jeep Trackhawk in a drag race (on a closed course). Let’s see what he thinks about this British beauty and what it can do with the most powerful production SUV on the planet. With the capacity to produce 710hp and 568 lb.-ft. of torque, the McLaren 720S is by any standard Read More

Lessons learned include the fact that anything wearing the McLaren nameplate is pretty difficult to get the jump on. Even if you have a ton more horsepower, it seems like anything in the McLaren lineup – with their above-average power-to-weight ratio – has the potential to jump out on you and take it to the stripe pretty hard. That being said, this primo (JDM) Nissan GTR ain’t conceding the victory. Not by a long shot. This is definitely not your run-of-the-mill Nissan GTR. The engine has been upgraded with a stroker kit that bumps it up (from a 2.6-liter) to Read More

Demonology versus Dragtimes. That’s what’s up! These two hardcore auto enthusiasts have brought out a pair of stallions to see which one can claim the title “King of the Quarter Mile”. The domestic bruiser is big and bulky with a giant supercharged HEMI under the hood. The British beauty is lightweight with a smaller, twin turbocharged V8. Both cars are modified for performance and both are rear-wheel drive. Which of them is up to the task? Let’s have a look. The McLaren 720S is prepared by 1K Motorsports in Ft. Myers, Florida. It is lauded as the Fastest McLaren in Read More
