Default Porsche Grounding Wires - Fact or Fiction?

Have any of you heard/used grounding wires for the engine

Link on Ebay

I have never even heard of this, but these guys claim 5-8HP with good grounding?

(sounds like it should ship with a clip-on magnet for the fuel line )

Have you heard of/used this?

I use grounding wires that have been force extruded in microgravity, made of ultra-pure, oxygen-free copper alloy, with a nano-technology braided outer screen with 24k Gold eyelets for zero resistance.

Each wire has been baked using a (Patent Applied For) solar furnace on the Space Shuttle, and is coated in Peruvian Micro Vinly before being hand fitted on my 996 by naked cheerleaders from the Dallas Coyboys.

Beats those EBAY PORSCHE GROUND GROUNDING WIRES any day!

And as that auction on EBAY states, right at the bottom of the page...

>>>>>> GOOD LUCK <<<<<<

There's stupid & then there's STUPID. I can't believe you didn't get triple-cryogenicized micro-pyramid-crystalized! C'mon, get in the game!

To answer the question which is the subject of this thread: Yes, it's fact, not fiction. They really do want to rip you off of your money.

OMG, this is a great thread....

Are any of you guys into hifi? You shoould hear the conversations that go on and on about speaker wire/interconnects that sounds just like this. Audiogon probably has at least 10 threads with exactly the same topic, except most of them aren't kidding! Its like "yeah, after I spent 1200 dollars (each) on my new pure silver and gold braided allloy, with microconverted resistance, and (soon to be) patented magnetic shielding, I really heard the difference." (Legal note: not a real quote) I hope they can tell the difference. This ebay guy is probably an audio reject. Hmmmm, in fact with the bunch of smart guys we have on this site, we should design and sell a better grounding wire that gives a 25 horse boost that only works on cars over $100,000.... Whatdya think?

I also get a kick out of the audiophile discussions about interconnects. Since there is no measurable difference in the results one gets, they always resort to talking about "improved sound stage" and that sort of thing. Kind of like the "improved throttle response" that a lot of people get from intakes.
