i cannot imagine much weight savings from the cold air intake either.
It is not harsh, it is the truth. They have been making outrageous and unsubstantiated claims about power gains since their inception. How do they get away with it? By using phrases such as "expected gains of 30 HP" or "up to 30 HP". Search Rennlist, and FerrariChat for all you need to know.

I feel exactly the same way and tempered my initial response. Not much respect for their products and am tired of reading the ridiculous claims.

I understand what you guys are saying. The performance gains are obviously a bit of a joke. I've never had a Fabspeed product, but I will say they are really passionate about their products and are super nice guys.

The photos that are posted are not of the actual GT3 products. We are still in the R&D phase at the moment. Because the 997.2 GT3 is very similar to the 991 GT3 we've posted photos of the 997.2GT3 products to give you an idea of what it will look like.

Again, we still haven't finished developing the GT3 products yet. All of our official numbers and gains shall be backed with evidence of such. We are simply predicting what our final product may achieve. We don't intend on being misleading at all; they are only predictions. We are excited and looking forward to releasing all of the official numbers and gains in the near future after we've finished our R&D phase and have tested our finalized products. We hope you're able to take a moment to look over our data once released.

You guys make great products and thanks for the RL sponsorship , I feel your thread title a tad bold
Yep!...well stated Deacon

I'd run out of fingers and toes if I had to count the number of times I've been passed by a car with less power.
