Sexy begins here, folks....everything else south of $100k follows (and it sounds INCREDIBLE)

Where are you getting that HP figure from? This is from the owner, as of 7/16/2009:

No dyno results yet this time. Spent all day yesterday getting the wastegate and boost controller configured for today's dyno sessions. Jesus is going over to do some tuning and to dial in the boost controller settings before I show up. Rumor has it it made over 525 WHP at 13.5 PSI between 10 and 10.5 AFR which is pretty rich

As an update, the car didn't get dyno'd last night as I understand it pounded down rain and Orlando had tornado warnings. Jesus said he was on his way to the dyno shop in my car when the rain came down and all hell broke loose. He said he bypassed the dyno shop and limped the car to his house at 15 MPH as he couldn't see in front of him at all. Apparently his wife wasn't too happy he was driving an FD in all that rain.

So we will regroup today and hopefully it (the tuning and dyno) will happen.

Based on the specs I'm sure it might be capable, just doesn't appear to have generated anything over the "rumored" 525 from the first post.

dude you need to come to the real world. FDs are nice, (this car is really nice) but there are plenty.... (z06, 911 turbo, m6, m3, dodge viper, etc) that are sub 100K that will out class, out preform, and just look better.

looks are subjective, but... do you really think an m6 looks better than a FD??

If we all agree that the FD is king, can we never bring this topic up again?
