Oh so if I go take a video of myself driving fast down a strip of road that I tell you I measured with gps and say I was able to do it in 10.8 seconds your going to just believe me right? I’m thinking I can pull a 9 second run in the case lol.
That means nothing without an actual video of the run at an NHRA/IHRA, or FIA in your case, approved/regulated track and a slip. That site means nothing without proof but your quick to believe the writing even when the video shows nothing but some guy driving the car and beating a corvette. Just because it’s on the internet doesn’t mean it’s true in case you didn’t know. Obviously your response will claim otherwise.
Do I know the specifics or the documented statistics of this car? No, but I am interested, and I’ll find out more before I am so quick to critique it.
As someone who has hand build their motor and hand selected and installed the parts to a turbo kit I can tell you it’s no cake walk.
If I came In here as a proud b6 s4 owner who just put hours and hours of work into my car to make it significantly faster(dispute what you will on 10s cars, look at the speedo this thing moves) and I was greeted with the attitude I’m seeing here, I would be completely turned off by this forum.
People put a lot of work into their cars, let’s take a step back from critiquing everyone’s “subpar” work and realize how much thought and labor went into a project like this.
Great points Mec and agreed! Since being in Europe in the past, I’ll chim in with my experience with European tuning. These guys sure could squeeze power out of any engine and are quite good at it. However, I’ve seen it first hand time and time again, majority of them build high power cars without giving much thought of longevity. Meaning it lacks realibility. It sure does make power, but then in a near future you’d have to pull an engine and rebuild it or get a new one, think nascar. It kind of comes with territory and most don’t mind that. Personally I’d rather make less power, but reliable power.
Besides if it were so easy to get that kind of power, I’m sure everybody would be having JHMs Turbo kit on their S4. Add me to the list of sceptics. I’ll reserve my judgement till I see some concrete info on what went on into this build in order to produce such numbers.
