I don't know about the car but I can tell you the twin turbo setup for the F is a joke. It cant be tuned properly so it'll be a constant battle even with that Motec. I noticed he states he's getting 600 wheel horse. That's BS. He also stated his stock F hit 413 horse on the dyno. Seeing as it only puts out 416 crank you know thats BS as well.. He also has a 1/4 mile time of 12.85 with 600 horse? Somethings really wrong there.

I wasnt sure if the numbers for 1/4 were pre or post boost. It is a little confusing. I thought about stopping by just to admire the idea!

I wouldnt touch that ****!
It's got a CEL!!

413whp isnt bad considering theres no other mod mention and only 6psi. Dissapointing that its hardly more than full boltons and that I ran faster 1/4 miles stock...

Yeah WTF... there have been members on here with bolt-ons running 11's easily. The stock 1/4 time for our cars is low 13's and high 12's

125 mph speed trap is not stock, however the 12.85 second pass just means he had trouble hooking up at launch. I would stay away from that buy especially for 55k. Just my 2 cents.

Definitely alot of cash, but considering it says he spent 60k on the build I doubt he would come down much haha

I ran 11's with NOS, Joe-Z exhaust, and PPE headers. Total cost? about 6-7 grand. But this guy spend 60k to run a 12.85. Nice one.

How can anyone justify spending $55k on a high end car that has a CEL?

Someone should message the guy and call out his claimed numbers

LOL I highly doubt it made 600whp on only 6psi with stock headers and exhaust. The Fox Marketing IS-F didn't even make that much power.
