Default Guy claims to build 2Krwhp Murcie, calls out UGR etc....

Not sure if any of you go on other forums I'm on 6speedonline, Supraforums etc.........anyway guy builds a TT LP670 that "will" have 2000rwhp 2wd,. Long story short it's turn into a **** storm with people waiting to race him, the car waiting on EPA to "approve" the ECU, how he's testing for NASA etc.... Here's "debut" vid, I'm all for innovation and progress but this guy seems to be living on another planet:

The thing is 2WD, unless he is gonna run on drag slick, it will just run 11s or 12s.............a stock LP670-4 can smoke him.......

Maybe he will go challenge the Veyron's SS top speed record and go for 300 mph, on a public freeway

I've been reading about his build here and there on the Lambo forum since sometime last year. Definitely makes for some entertaining reading. I have not read anything from any other sites, but he seems to be taking the criticism pretty well on the Lambo forum poking fun at himself. But who am I to judge, if he achieves these goals then he just shut up the entire internet. If he doesnt, then he'll probably still have a 1000hp Lambo. Not bad either way if you ask me.

Looking at random videos on youtube, if I am correct, one of our forum members and LFA owners attended that meet. Maybe that person can share some more info with us.

I tried defending the guy a chance at 1st, be he dug his own grave. Even IF the car does what he claims I hav lost total respect for him just based off of his comments. Love the ongoing show though!!

Pretty impressive, most of those guys building cars at that level are full of themselves, for good reason, don't know how much I would read into internet post
