America Cup GS Porsche 3 . 6L . 997
Phoenix, AZ (May 13, 2006) - The Marcus MotorSports car #49, a Porsche 3.6L 997, takes the checkered flag at the Grand American Cup GS race at Phoenix International Raceway. In preparation for Saturday抯 race, the Marcus MotorSports team spent 2 days at Evolution MotorSports?facility in Tempe. During that time, both cars underwent extensive diagnostic assessments resulting in computer calibrations by Garret Lim of GIAC to maximize the cars full potential. With GIAC抯 reliable tuning and Evolution MotorSports?V-Flow intake and tuning expertise, more measurable power was squeezed from the Marcus MotorSports #49 and #50 Porsche 997抯. This was accomplished by spending a day on each car, testing various setups to maximize power while maintaining reliability and fuel economy. Since the Grand American Cup is a very close series, every bit of HP counts.
Both Marcus MotorSports?cars have been running consistent top 10 finishes with the skillful driving of Darren Law, Brian Cunningham, Spencer Pumpelly and Andy Lally. Most recently one of the cars conquered a 3rd place finish at Virginia International Raceway on April 22, 2006, building the confidence of the race team.
On Friday, May 12th, car #49 driven by Pumpelly and Lally qualified first with the fastest lap time (1:08391) being nearly a half a second faster than the nearest competitor (1:08758). Meanwhile car #50 driven by Law and Cunningham qualified eighth with a time of 1:0937. With both cars tuned to perfection and with their pole and 8th positions, cars #49 and #50 were perched in favorable positions heading into Saturday抯 race.
Saturday抯 race began with car #49 on the pole. Car #49 was instantly off to a sizable lead posting the fastest time on lap #2. At that point the drivers were advised to stay conservative as the race is 200 miles and the car does not need to be pushed to the limits. The #49 car lead from flag to flag recording its first win in the Grand Am Cup series in 2006. Skilful driving from Pumpelly and Lally, combined with fantastic car prep from Marcus MotorSports, tuning & components from Evolution MotorSports and GIAC as well as a tremendous effort from the entire Marcus MotorSports crew all played apart in this victory.
Drivers Law and Cunnigham in car #50, was a contender for a top three finish, however, following a shifter cable problem, the car was forced to pit earlier than expected. Consequently, the car lost three laps while the problem was addressed. Despite the shifter cable problem, the car still succeeded in placing in the top 10, with a respectable 8th place finish.
For those not familiar with the Grand AM GS series, these cars have a factory Porsche 3.6L power plant. Surprisingly to some people, these track cars are actually the same as Porsche抯 996/997 street car, utilizing the same components and technology. The race teams are able to modify the car for driver safety, reduce weight and perform suspension modifications. The 997 cars have to run stock brakes and stock headers but they can modify the ECU, air box and muffler/catalysts. These cars are producing about 350 HP with the modifications that were performed. The EVO V-Flow intake System and GIAC software were used in the majority of the top running cars. The EVO V-Flow was installed on at least 7 of the top teams that ran in the event on Saturday.
The nine months that was spent developing the V-Flow intake system for 996/997 was clearly worth the time and effort. Our dedication to perfection and never settling for sub-par performance has lead to race teams choosing the EVO V-Flow intake system for their race cars and street cars. These race teams require a performance advantage and top race teams only use the best technology available such as EVO抯 V-Flow and GIAC抯 software. These same products are available for all 1999-2006 996 and 997 models.
Full Carbon GTR
GT500仕樣之FULL CARBON GTR
GTR雖然身具一代名機RB26DETT,使其馬力有近乎無限的擴展潛力,但GTR沉重的車身卻為其輪胎、懸掛及制動系統帶來沉重的負擔,縱使馬力如何強大,在激烈操控時始終不夠靈活,因此相比於時下流行的2,000 c.c.Turbo四驅跑車,不論在山路抑或多彎的賽道上均缺乏優勢,故此若要令GTR的整體表現全面提升,最治本的方法只有減輕重量一途,而BNR32已是近三代GTR之中車重最為輕盈的一代,在偷輕過程中更為事半功倍,早於一年前為大家報導時這部GTR已進行了競賽化的偷輕工序,將全車所有與速度無關的組件全面拆除,如空調系統、Airbag、音響以至ABS 等輔助系統均一一廢除,再將所有可以拆下的車身組件全部改為碳纖維製品,今次更為此R32重新打造一身R34 GT500仕樣之車身組件,表面更特地施以啞面設計,強烈的戰鬥氣息表露無遺。

Scuderia Unveiled by MichFrankfurt is not a big auto show for the aftermarket tuners, mostly because it is just so large for the OEMs. A small tuner would certainly get lost amidst all the brand new OEM creations. Here are just a few unveiled at Frankfurt:

Only 20 will be made which might be a good thing because we're not sure Lamborghini could sell many more. Especially considering they are asking well over a million dollars for each car. The extreme styling is based off of the F-22 Raptor fighter jet. Disappointingly the horsepower increase is minimal, with 20 extra ponies being added for a total of 660 hp. This does, however, make for a 0-60 sprint in 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 211 mph! On the plus side, the Alcantara interior is very impressive!

Porsche GT2
A solid step up from the Turbo, the new 997 GT2 makes 530 hp and 501 ft-lbs of torque – proving those VTG turbos had more power in them. Zero-60 times are expected to be somewhere around 3.6 seconds and the GT2 will be the first 911 with a top speed of over 200 mph – 204 mph to be exact.
BMW M3
There's not much we can say about the new V8 powered M3 that you haven't already heard. We'll tell you more once we drive it.
Audi RS6
It may just be for the European market for now but we expect this 572 hp twin turbo 5.2L V10 will make its way across the pond. Even if it's just the engine (and it happens to be in the Audi R8).
Modified Vehicles
There were still a few very interesting modified vehicles on display including a Rolls-Royce Phantom and Aston Martin V8 Vantage from Mansory, a CL65 from Carlsson and a matte black F430 from Novitec Rosso. Novitec also brought out their brand new package for the 599.

Mitsubishi.Evo9 ARC
Once the Monster engine was dropped in it was up to ARC to fit their own products. To help the engine breather better an ARC Induction Box, which has the job of lowering intake temperature, was installed. Once the air has been squeezed by the TD05 it is passed to the ARC intercooler, which has been designed to maximize cooling without losing throttle response, which is generally what happens when large core intercoolers are used. A special titanium intercooler piping kit was added which features a cooling plate to further lower intake temperatures. This specific part has just hit the stores in Japan. Keeping the engine lifeblood cool is a side-mounted ARC oil cooler kit and a large core radiator. This is joined by the newest product to join the ARC range, their radiator valve system. This effectively takes care of venting the radiator in a far more precise fashion, and unlike regular radiator caps it can be adjusted to different pressures. Another new product is the hard piping for the radiator as well as an air-separator tank system. ARC went all out in trying to finish their engine bay to a show-car standard and parts like the sleek radiator top mounts and the engine cover make this one of the best looking and more colorful engine bays we have ever seen! To take a closer look at the ARC 憄iece-de-r閟istance?of this EVO 9 MR, we had to put the car on a hoist and take a close look underneath. Once you stop undressing the dual, twin-exit full-titanium exhaust system with your eyes and get up close and see the overall quality of workmanship, you really appreciate this company抯 skills when it comes to creating custom parts ?just look at those motorcycle-inspired rear silencers!
