Here's a non tampered outside video of the car where it actually sounds like an Evo. It's definitely hauling ***. Not sure why they have to speed up the in car videos.
Some people so called experts in order to continue to sell their parts in Greece and elsewhere some time ago said a lot of lies. Their friends in Greece, are disappeared from the drag EVO scene in Greece as they are far behind from Extreme Tuners evo.
The video posted on the first message is from an official drag race in Greece (Certified machines are used to measure the times).
Those are some others videos, from the same race from viewers that see and listen that the car do a 8.3 pass (is not its best)
We're aware the car the car is real and the times they run are real. The fact they speed up the in-cabin videos to make it sound like an F1 car @ 17,000RPM is not real.
I'm just going to say I dont believe this is at all fabricated lol. Follow them on facebook, they have specially engineered the head to be able to spin that high. Also custom carbon compressor wheels. I believe its a 1.8 liter motor if I remember correctly. And they sell this stuff on their website too...
It looks like they are legit, but the videos are sped up. According to this dyno plot found on their website, this evo makes just over 2000hp on about 42psi. At first I thought BS until I saw that they run 17:1 compression pistons on nitro haha! I do want those high tensile strength, aerospace material rods....
The speedometer view is not sped up. I timed it using frames and debug data from the video and the time it took to move from 0.3 to 0.4 on the trip meter was 1.598 seconds, which translates to 62.7 meters per second, which translates to 225km/h. -> right about where it was on their speedo.
To do this yourself, right click the video and copy debug info, paste in notepad and look for something like "lct": "25.235", that is the current timestamp of the video. play the video and stop it exactly when the trip changes and note the new value "lct": "26.833" then do subtraction and calculate velocity and see where it is on their speedo.

The original post and subsequent had a bunch of BS pictures, lies, false claims PERIOD. Hell they even admitted to some of it, maybe it was to try and look cooler than they are. That's great they manufacture parts from unobtaininum materials, That's great they are setting records abroad, but the lies, smoke, and mirrors show really turned folks off. The talk of a huge manufacturing facility and rows of CNC machines is complete bull, the shop is a hole in the ground in some poverty stricken 3rd world country.
IIRC one guy gave them the benefit of a doubt and ordered parts for a build, things showed up missing, didn't have some things, and to my knowledge never finished the car and sold it off in disgust. Not sure if he got his money back or not?
For folks in Greece or close maybe they can order some parts, they'll have a hard time ever getting anyone here to buy anything from them, I know I wouldn't

vid is BS, the speed has been altered, same old same old from ET. You would think if they are so smart with building evo's they could come up with some better tricks, pretty much extreme liars.
If the car makes 2000hp and only runs an 8.xx, that is pretty sad. Boosten performance's talon isn't even close to that claimed HP level and it would absolutely destroy this thing. On top of that, I'm not sure why the fanboy's are so obsessed with this 11k rpm stuff. Most of the uber fast 4g's are spinning out to 10.5k anyway...this is nothing new.
The car looks beautifully built, and I can't knock the apparent craftsmanship. However, the sped up video garbage and the previous lies they've been caught up in have left me extremely sceptical of this company.

Nitro huh. I wonder if they rebuild the engine after every pass.
