JL Audio W6v3 Subwoofer
The all-new JL Audio W6v3 subwoofer driver features a larger and
more powerful motor system than that found on the current v2. Developed
and refined using JL Audio’s proprietary DMA system, the new driver
delivers exceptional linear excursion and dynamic stability. To help
cool the larger field plates and magnet assemblies, the motor features a
patented pole vent system to improve cooling efficiency and reduce
power compression. The new driver suspension system features a wide
rubber surround and a new progressive-roll spider to control the
increased excursion capability. $599 (10W6v3), $699 (12W6v3)

AWE Audi Q5 Intercooler
During the development of the AWE exhaust and GIAC software
upgrades for the Audi Q5 2.0T, AWE engineers observed the stock
intercoolers were unable to sustain optimal air charge temperature.
Though the increased temperatures were not a danger to the engine, they
were hindering the Q5’s performance potential. AWE designed a new
front-mount intercooler that features cast-aluminum end tanks for
optimal flow and a bar-and-plate core for increased efficiency,
resulting in a minimum air intake temperature drop of 25 percent. Even
if you don’t plan on upgrading your Q5’s power output, the AWE
intercooler is a great way to increase engine efficiency. $999

Cooper Zeon RS3

The first stop after arriving at the CTVTC was for an in-depth
technical presentation on Cooper Tires’ newest ultra high performance
products: the Zeon RS3-A all-season and the Zeon RS3-S summer. After
that, it was off to the track for the fun to begin.
First up was the Wet Dynamics Area, an 800-square-foot asphalt pad
with a uniform controlled water depth of 0 to 0.15 inches. The course
was designed to demonstrate the RS3-A and RS3-S capabilities in the wet
against a leading tire competitor, which shall remain nameless. Two
identical BMW 328is were outfitted with either Cooper’s Zeon RS3-S or
its leading competitor and two identical Ford Mustangs were outfitted
with either Cooper’s Zeon RS3-A or the competitor’s tire. The evaluation
was fairly straightforward, two laps around a cone-lined course with a
series of acceleration and deceleration tests, simulated lane changes
and gradual and sharp turns. The Cooper tires performed very well in all
wet aspects.
The next test evaluated the dry handling capability of the Zeon RS3
products on a portion of the CTVTC’s 1.3-mile Dry Handling Circuit. The
dry handling comparison consisted of three laps on a course
configuration similar to the wet setup except with longer straight
sections to attain higher speeds.
The BMW 3 Series’ track capabilities are legendary—with one caveat:
when equipped with the right tire. Outfit a 3 Series (or any car) with
the wrong tire, and you will have downgraded a track legend to a pre-’70
Oldsmobile—highly unstable. Behind the wheel of the Zeon RS3-S–equipped
328i, the vehicle performed like a BMW should on both wet and dry
surfaces lap after lap. The surprise of the day was the Zeon
RS3-A–equipped Ford Mustang. I know Mustangs are great track cars,
especially after you spend some time and money on them. What amazed me
was that these all-season tires on a completely stock Mustang handled
just as well as the 328i on the wet track and on the dry—consistent and
predictable performance lap after lap.
After spending a full day behind the wheel of Cooper’s Zeon product
line, I was suitably impressed by how the products performed. Perhaps
the Texas tourism department may need to add the CTVTC to the
attractions list.
