Has anyone any more info on this or is it completely bull?

 

There is something wrong with those numbers. 0-60 takes 4.1sec, so could be major traction problems. 11.6 car should make this in 3.5sec. Then another thing: 0-100 takes 10.23sec and after 1.45sec the speed is 136mph - WOW that's a huge acceleration, like 300HP NOS shot would come from 100mph. 535BHP can not do 136mph end speed in our cars.
I would like to know from where are those stats. RWP/BHP difference is just 10.5% . Are they using manual transmission or wrong calculation also with these numbers?

 

I met with the owner of Eurotek to talk about tuning my 03 STR. "My" impression: Big BS.

 

I've since talked with him on the phone too and I am now convinced this is entirely fictional fantasy.

 

Yes, this guy is pure BS. My car with approx 470-475 flywheel HP runs a 0-100 in approx 10.5 and I am certain it is no faster than a 12.7 or so in the 1/4.

So it is obvious that these numbers do not add up at all.

If you look at the numbers HE PROVIDED, at the end of 10.23 seconds the car can do 100, then only 1.45 seconds later it can be doing 136 mph.

Yes, he is saying it accelerates from 100 to 136 mph in just 1.45 seconds.

What a bafoon.

 

Utter bullshit. Even if the ET is to be believed, you would need over 750 hp for that kind of trap speed but he claims only 535 hp.
And since it's not launching well from the 0-60 time, therefore he can't be getting that ET since ET is all about the launch.
So much wrong in those numbers. Just this line make you go wtf:

Rear Brake Horsepower at the Wheels 479bhp and 458lbs - it's one big contradiction.

Epic fail.
