Well here’s a sneak peak at what could be the new street tire from our friends at Kumho. A new contender for STS class. Could this tire that beats RE-01R’s and ADO7’s? Only time will tell!
Well i’m not going to get into all the new details for the GT-R. Just recently new technical images are out. They are very pretty and interesting to see what makes the New Nissan Skyline GT-R work. Enjoy the pix! Also, i’ve added a gallery for all the pix that i have found around the net!

Mugen has just released there new aero kit for the new 2008 Honda Fit! As you can see from the new pix there will be aero kits available. There is still no word if the new Honda Fit is going to be boosted. Only time will time!
Well the land down under has maybe a solution to your STI blues. The new Mazdaspeed 3 MPS could be a good alternative to the STI. How do you say? Maybe 281hp and 313tq. The fun doesn’t end there either, as the Extreme gets a 2-inch exhaust and a suspension tuned by Murray Coote, who does the same for Australian race and rally cars. 19″ BBS wheels. We’ll have to see what the pricing will be, but this could be a really good alternative to the new STI.
Well folks its out! The new JDM STI is out! Details are bit vague still. No real specific’s. All we know at the moment is new STI 16v 2.0L boxer with a twin-scroll turbo mated to a 6-speed manual. SI-DRIVE, multi-mode Drivers Control Center Differential (DCCD) and Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) are also standard. 304 horses and 311 lb-ft of torque in the Japanese-market model. But finally what everyone wanted to know is the style of the new STI. Its here. And i can say i don’t mind it! Looks good! Better than i would have thought.
Well here they are. The new M3 sedan. Naturally, the M3 sedan benefits from BMW’s new 414 (SAE) HP 4.0L V8, allowing the 3,531-pound four-door to reach 60 MPH in 4.9 seconds and on to an electronically limited top speed of 155 MPH. On the outside, the M3 sedan gets plenty of work done to its front and rear fascias, leaving everything between the A-pillar and C-pillar intact from the base 3-Series sedan. The sedan should be debut in LA next month!
Here’s a really really cool video if you have no idea how a combustion engine works. Its not a complete engine cycle, but its close enough to understand! You can see the intake valve open with fuel and air rushing in. Then as the cylinder starts to come up the spark plug ignites the fuel. Bam! You have fire, piston goes down and the exhaust valve open when the piston comes back up! 4 stroke engine! Yay!!!
Well here you go folks. New M3 V8 vs. Bugatti Veyron. Well i don’t know if i really need to say who wins. But its a great video to watch!
The power unit of the new 911 GT2 is based on the six-cylinder boxer engine of the 911 Turbo, with air supply driven by two exhaust gas turbochargers featuring variable turbine geometry (VTG). The 3.6-litre boxer engine achieves a maximum output of 530 (SAE) horsepower, an increase of 50 horsepower from the previous 911 GT2. The power increase is provided by two turbochargers with a larger compressor wheel and a flow-optimized turbine housing raising turbocharger pressure to an even higher level. The new 911 GT2 comes as standard with PCCB brakes featuring brake discs made of a composite carbon fiber/ceramic compound ensuring highly consistent and maximum stopping power. Also standard is the electronically controlled Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) system.
North American debut in early 2008 at a US price of $191,700.
