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.

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.

who needs a bellhousing anyway

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?

"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

What a pile of shit.

Do not want.

I like the disconnected sway bar just chillin there

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?!

lolwut.

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.

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

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.

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

why have backseats at all if this cage makes it impossible for anyone to sit there? Unless of course, they're for some reason unable to be removed.

Note to potential buyer of this: My volvo can burn out just as good as that. I just saved someone 15 grand.

Professionally built also != gauge pod attached to A pillar with screws left over from some carpentry.

lol its also advertised as a manual transmission, its an automatic...

"In this case, the paint's color "Quicksilver" really DOES tell you something more about the car."

I like the preheated intercooler piping.

Also, rear mount fail.

And wtf with no wastegate exit pipe? Somebody failed Fluid Dynamics.

It's not THAT bad.

O RLY? Remind me not to let you work on my car. :giggle:

so sad...

Of all the things wrong, I don't see a problem with that. The point of WG dumps is to point the friggin hot exhaust away from parts that can't take the heat. This one is dumping behind the car, just like the exhaust.

I think his point was that it would actually flow better with some amount of a tube on it. Hence the fluid dynamics comment.

Instead of clicking each and every link...

i've seen open diff 1.6 miatas do better burn outs

If by better you mean with a set flow rate then yes.

I'd worry about fluttering pressure behind that wastegate that may or may not allow 5.7L to overspin the turbos.

EWGs are win, but I'd feel a whole lot better with some pipe behind it to keep constant backpressure behind the plunger.

Maybe the Internets have desensitized me, but I have seen a LOT worse than this.

Sure, but this is being advertised as some sort of spared-no-expense professionally tuned car, and that's clearly not the case.

I don't think anyone would argue that this is as bad as it gets.
