Porsche 992

The 992 generation Porsche 911 Carrera S is quite the car, at least on paper. The rear-engined sports car has been turbocharged since the 991.2, but it is now even faster. When optioned with the PDK transmission the 992 Carrera S can go 0-60 mph in just 3.5 seconds.

While not as impressive by today’s very high standards, not all that long ago this was supercar territory. The 911 is very fast and they have made it so the fact that it now uses a turbocharged flat-six doesn’t detract from the driving experience with any noticeable lag.

2019 Porsche Cayenne Turbo

The new 2019 Porsche Cayenne Turbo is very fast. Sure the Cayenne, especially in turbocharged form, has for years bent the laws of physics. From a performance stand point the large family hauler can hang with many pure sports cars.

The latest Cayenne Turbo takes the already high performance to the next level. It will let you drop the kids off at soccer practice faster than you think is humanly possible.

The 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 has been unveiled and the American performance machine takes the GT350 concept to the next level. Powering the GT500 is a supercharged 5.2-liter hand built V8. Official performance figures have not yet fully been released, but we do know that the ‘Stang will have over 700 horsepower on tap.

All of this works together with the aerodynamic shape and large rear wing to offer great track performance. As this is a muscle car 1/4 mile times and 0-60 mph times are huge.

California’s AB 1824 – What You Can Do To Help Reverse The Crazy Aftermarket Exhaust Law

By David Hurth January 14, 2019

Aftermarket Exhaust

In June of 2018 the California Assembly voted to approve the bill AB 1824. Among other things in this bill, it changed the way that police officers are to handle pulling over someone with a modified exhaust system.

Before January 1st, 2019 (when the bill went into affect), if you were pulled over with an aftermarket muffler that was thought to be over 95 decibels the officer could give you a fixit ticket. This allowed you to take care of the excessive noise and get it signed off or to talk to another officer if you thought the first was unfair.

Now if you get a ticket it is an automatic $1,000 fine. You also need to take the car to a state referee to prove that it has been put back to stock before you can register the vehicle with the DMV. You can take it to court, but that is a lot of extra hassle to try to fight something that had been seen as a minor violation.

Maserati Ghibli

The Maserati Ghibli is the most affordable Maserati that you can buy new. The car offers very good performance from a twin-turbocharged V6. It is at home being driven quickly, but it does so with some sacrifices.

The ride is harsh when you are just wanting to drive around town and the steering offers much less feel than you would like. These two combined with a traction control system that seems confused at time lets down the otherwise good driving experience.

However, there is a bright side to the Ghibli.
