Ebay Turbos

    Someone has proven it, after five years of research, that an ebay turbo is BETTER than MOST name brand turbos. Turbo is forced induction by releasing exhaust gases as well as pulling in cold air to keep the engine colder. As of today, the T3/T04 turbos by Godspeed are proven to be nearly 4 times more efficient than HKS turbos. As an HKS turbo would push out more power, around 150 HP, the HKS also drops fuel consumption from maybe 19 mpg to around 15 mpg. Ebay turbos drop less MPG less than two. Ebay turbos are also around $1,000 cheaper and can come in various designs, such as the GT35 with surge prevention and accessories. In my opinion, cheap isn't always, well, CHEAP. Cheap can be really good in this case, you just have to recognize it.

Chargers recalled

   The infamous automotive manufacturer, Dodge, has let us down again. They introduced a car, the new Dodge Charger, to police forces in hope of pulling over the bad guys. Unfortunately, they found an issue with something in the wiring harness. Some faulty wire can melt and cause a shortage of electrical output, surging anything connected and frying the ECU, pretty much a nice cost. If they hadn't found this, who knows what could've happened. Since Dodge is recalling all of the wiring harnesses, they will fix the issue in all Chargers for free, as it can take up to three weeks to get the car back. They also made a promise to the Sheriff offices' using them to change the oil and rebuild the engine. A $10,000 dollar cost for free. Who ever thought that Dodge could have such a heart for its' customers? I thought of Dodge as low-life pieces of junk, other than the Viper, that overpriced there cruddy work. Apparently, I was slightly wrong about this misjudgement. Soooo lets get onto the real stuff. My favorite car in the world as the RANDOM CAR OF THE WEEK.

Laguna Seca Times

   Laguna Seca, along with Nurburgring, are expert level race tracks. They have people compete there for a potential of a large amount of money. They have experts for each brand car, from Honda to Ferrari, come race here. Who knows who will come out on top? Lets see the top 5!
     1.Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR-1:33.92-This car had a top speed of 138 KMH.
     2.Chevrolette Corvette Z06 Z07 Package-1:34.33-This car had a top speed of 137 KMH.
     3.Devon GTX-1:35.08-This car had a top speed of 136 KMH.
     4.Porsche 911 GT2-1:35.56-This car had a top speed of 136 KMH.
     5.Chevrolette Corvette ZR1-1:35.80-This car had a top speed of 135 KMH.
 Well, I'm amazed to see not one but two Chevys in the top five. Not a chevy fan, but a great feature. Amazing track, amazing cars, what more can you ask for?

Nürburgring Nordschliefe Times

   Nurburgring is an 18 miles course of twists and turns located in Nordschleife, Germany. If you've ever heard of a day called track day, this is where that happens. Nurburgring is a record holding track, as it is set for the experts to race. It is so equipped and such a high speed course, with one mile straights, that some turns were equipped with a nice slope, about 45 degrees. I will be listing the top five fastest lap times.
  Number one - Radical SR8LM - 6:48:00 - The car reached a top speed of 182 KMH.
  Number two - Radical SR8 - 6:55:00 - This car reached a top speed of 179 KMH.
  Number three - Gumpert Apollo Speed - This car reached a top speed of 172 KMH.
  Number four - Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR - This car reached a top speed of 172 KMH.
  Number five - Lexus LFA Nurburgring Package - This car reached a top speed of 171 KMH.

   So there's the top five. I'm going to be listing the next five in the next post I make. I may even do other tracks like Laguna Seca or "The Monza." Let's just hope I stay intact with watching all these things. I might, just for you people, upload a video of what a nice turbo sounds like. Speaking of turbo, the Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart is supposedly about to be featuring a bigger turbo, making it about 20 HP stronger. This will make its spool (that hissing from a turbo) louder, and give it a bigger RPM redline and jump. I am looking forward to seeing the new Ralliart.
