What's the point in having a website if it always says "Coming soon..." ?

Who in their right mind could think they could double the horsepower of this car without issues and failures? It sounds like a very expensive hard lesson to learn. I can't image pounding that much money into this or any car on such a risky venture. I feel bad that you had to learn such a hard lesson but hopefully just sharing the experience will help to prevent other's from blindly throwing away their money for bragging rights when there's so much uncertainity and risk envolved.

Well it seems that you really don't know much about cars, so a few people saw that and took advantage of you. You just bent over and kept on paying.

Happens all the time.

A good idea is to do some homework before pulling out your credit card.

Well I have to say sorry for all the problems you have Alex. I wish you the best in recovering some funds, but I must agree with some people in that it seems like you let them take advantage of you. You must step up and take back your money from some of these people that screwed you. I would advise an attorney right now and see what you can recover that way, and if that way is lost, well then I personally would go to the drastic measures of recovering the money any way I could. I wish you best of luck though buddy. Also I think it is pretty interesting that I haven't seen Chris post anything since this thread has been posted.
