I am not defending myself, but maybe I can not resist having fun with some "very pro about cars" dudes

That is why we have the 60-130 process here. I am sure that if Guru turns in a file it will be posted up.

However I am certain he will be very dissapointed when he finds out how his car actually stacks up. If his 6.7 is verified he is still about 5 lengths behind my car.

My intention is not to laugh at anyone, I just respect tuners that bring cars that have exactly the parts that are advertised. Nothing more nothing less. No need to make a potential customer think that they will be much faster than in all actuality they will be. 60-130 is a great way to guage power. I agree with that completely.

Hopefully Guru´s file will be verified soon....

2) The "discredit" is subtle enough that it's easily deniable. It's a put down by comparison . By saying how great the favored car is they are leaving the comparison up to the reader. Without even saying a word the implication is that the other cars are not as good. It's actually a narcissistitic strategy of self edification .

ii guru was not as subtle .

Ok. Those are very fair statements. Now I understand what it is that you were getting at. Personally I think that the 911 & Porsche World article was very fairly rounded and pointed out the strengths and weakness´s of the kits but I wished that they were more clear on the exact specs of each car.

Thanks,
Rhonda

While that would be a great way to see exactly what each tuner was made of...the only real way to do it would be to have an independent, non biased verification of internals, turbos, weights, etc. Strict guidelines would have to be in order so that the results were as accurate as possible. All marketing tactics put aside, just the plain facts.

Thanks,
rhonda

I showed exact figures before (60-130 times), have not been accepted somehow

It's 100 octane pump gas, which is equal to 93 octane us pump gas. well, with the race gas, I figure we can easily run 6.5x. Unfortunately, it's not very easy to find race gas here.
