last year there was a thread where the typical tial shit happened…they posted a video of a tial car killing a k04 car…but didn’t mention the problems the k04 car was having etc.
anyway, they then posted dynos and NYCVR6 went in and destroyed AMD/EPL for doing nothing but HIDING from the dragstrip where we can get an accurate depiction of how the car really moves. No bullshit. No weak benchmark K04 car with problems. Just truth.
It blew up nicely, and in anger, Jason’s (AMD/EPL) fastest customers the big Tial 770 making over 600 whp…a super strong 605 car with a full modlist and meth even…and then a K04 and a K04 hybrid car ALL went to the dragstrip to shut everyone up. Well they shut someone up alright…the Tial guys went dead quiet. They didn’t post any results…but after getting badgered, jason admitted the trap speeds (but wouldn’t share the ET of ANY of the cars).
Traps were 121 for 605, and 128 for the supposedly most powerful S4 in the world. All the guys got a few runs so no bullshit. The cars just flopped. The fastest ET was 12.11…and it was the 605 car. The ‘most powerful S4 in the world’ REALLY flopped. Ran mid 12s.
It’s funny, before that happened, we were at a meet in Detroit and CountVohn said ‘the EPL/AMD/Tial cars will dyno great (on AMD and EPL’s in house dynos) and do well in in-gear pulls in 3rd or fourth, but will suck at the strip because the tuning is just not there for them to go from a stop through 4 gears’. Sure enough, he was right.
Anyway, after all the laughing at the Tial boys, jason the douchebag said ‘this is just proof of how the quarter mile is a terrible benchmark’. I thought that was hilarious. No…this is proof that you’ll do anything you can to discredit a demo of how your cars accelerate in gears 1-4…the 4 gears we all use all the time. They challenged NYCVR6 to do a PBOX 60-130 pull in his turbo VR6 B5 S4. I don’t know why…who gives a fuck what he runs. It doesn’t mean a thing as he doesn’t sell VR6 conversion. Anyway, he agreed, but never did it I guess. He broke an axle at the dragstrip, and was having trouble finding a suitable replacement. Then he needs a pBOX as well.
91, you should contact him and clear the air with him. I bet you’d get along. Or you guys would fight, and that would be funny.
