Default 800 HP claim, your thoughts?
This add claims 800 hp, anyone see anything there that resembles 800 hp?

If other peple find out that the cheesecloth filter intake mod is good for 400 HP, my streetracing streak will be over

Kokeln IC, cheesy air filter, EVO cams?, twin plug?, 800 HP?. No friggin way. Looks tired and needs lots of work. Hope the price is right.

Maybe Rarely8 knows the car?

This car is filthy!! Someone is right....you need to clean a car before presenting it. I would say the car could have 300hp-325hp. Not 800 lol

Anyone check out the telltale on the boost gage? It reads 1.7 bar. Yikes!!

That lovely gravel road is a clever place to run a car for photos ain't it?

Well, he did claim that it has been "de-tuned" to a measily 600 hp. That obviously means turning the boost control **** down from 2.3 to 1.7 bar.

Judging by the parts price, I think they put the 3.2L injectors in this 3.3L turbo.

All I can say about that interior is..... WTF is wrong with people??? Looks like There are dog teeth marks on the rear seats and it must be autumn by the look of the leaves jambed in there....

Look at the dust on the drivers door arm rest. Ugly. And 600 HP (800 HA HA) with standard rods? I agree, if he's making 400 I'd be surprised. What a pig!
