1000hp Twin turbo '04 GTO on ebay
 
I randomly search around on ebay at cars I lust over and just came across this one.

"This is an incredibly well-built car using only the best parts and professional performance experts with which no expense was spared nor short-cut taken."

Professionally built with worm gear clamps and all!!!!

Really? Upwards of 25psi and using worm gear clamps? Good luck with that! :laugh:

Hey, at least if it blows a pipe off they're all nice and accessable.

viperormiata 09-12-2010 12:00 PM

If the pipes are beaded/lipped then worm clamps are fine, duh ;)

Talk about one hell of a sleaper car though, I mean except for the loud spool, lol.

WTF is up with that?

I like how they wrap the hoses furthest from the turbo, but nothing else.

I've had cars with worm gear clamps on beaded pipes, they fail.

Why did they leave the back-seat in, and why is the cage unpainted?

LOL @ load-path (seriously, that's a brain basher)

"While the pictures and videos will give you some idea what the car is like, they will in no way explain or demonstrate what this car sounds like in person or what it is capable of when driven as intended. For that, you'll need to step up to the plate in person":laugh:

I like how in the video he says its making 750hp but (with some easy modifications) it CAN make 1000hp

Doppelgänger 09-12-2010 01:37 PM

What a pile of shit.

chicksdigmiatas 09-12-2010 05:06 PM

I hate the way that it will suck up water if you drive in the rain. Hydrolock anyone?

I'm thinking destroyed turbine blades when water drops hit it at 15k rpms.

And +1 on bellhousing wtf?!

Id imagine that there is normally just a tin there, a dust sheild.
Idk why ou would take it off though, on the off chance that a little pebble got up in there it could cause problems.

Worst 1000hp burnout evarrrr.


curly 09-12-2010 06:33 PM

I think it was half burn out, half launch. And half fail.

18psi 09-12-2010 06:44 PM

100% fail 100% of the time.

Had he really 1000hp under the hood those tires would be spinning til 100mph

He says in the video that the car is 750hp, but has the potential to make 1000.
Which sets of major BS alarms.
1) Why is he advertising it as "1000hp" if its never made more than 750
2) probably not even making 750
3) what a homo

Waterjet anyone? +1 on the worst 1000hp burn out ever. I fried way better tire in my car nearly stock than that doucher could ever manage.

Fireindc 09-12-2010 09:35 PM

Wow, that video just added more fail to this thread.
