Gran Turismo 5 gets Data Logger Visualization, imports track day video [w/VIDEO]

By admin · Comments (0)

Filed under: Videos Click above to view the video after the jump One day we’re going to finally get our hands on Gran Turismo 5 . And when we sample Polyphony Digital’s long-awaited sequel we’d be amazed (and delighted) if the game lives up to its constantly growing hype. While we still have absolutely no idea when GT5 will hit the shelves, when it does arrive it will come strong with a raft of new features gamers have been clamoring for. Beyond damage rendering and a cornucopia of racing styles, GT5 will reportedly also come with Data Logger Visualization.

Hennessey’s Cadillac CTS-V ready for prime time [w/video]

By admin · Comments (0)

Filed under: Aftermarket , Sedan , Performance , Videos , Cadillac Hennessey Cadillac CTS-V – Click above to watch the video after the jump When we were fortunate enough to have a Cadillac CTS-V for a week to review , we said it was “one of the finest cars on the road today and one of the best vehicles ever built by General Motors.” Of course, there’s always room for improvement. At least Hennessey Performance thinks so, and they have come up with the V700 upgrade package that boosts the supercharged 6.2-liter V8 to more than 700 horsepower. What does it take to squeeze more than 150 more horsepower out of the LSA V8? Hennessey adds a cold air induction system, a smaller supercharger pulley, a new engine management system, long tube headers, three-inch exhaust system with high-flow cats, an upgraded intercooler, more aggressive cam, and high-flow heads.
