Cool first three posts!

I find it interesting that you guys from Greece are always so defensive.

We are defensive because of your' calling out all these years, disrespect and doubt. He actually broke the record a few weeks ago and you again doubted him saying the strip isn't NHRA, it's less than 1320ft, it's setup, it's sped up, comments from haters all over the place, US mainly, and the list goes on. So no wonder.

They are very good at speeding up their videos. Take a look at the thirty three second mark. In the right hand bottom corner a woman brushes the hair out of her face. Looks like she is a Ninja with that move LOL.

One of my favorite parts is how the car is never at full power.

The reputation of ET is well-earned on this forum. They blasted their way onto the forum with wild claims, flaming of established vendors, vaporware and pics of either poor craftsmanship or someone else's parts, and promises of parts made from unicorn dust. Then they scammed members who spent months trying to get parts. Yet you wonder why our members would be skeptical of questionable videos claiming record-breaking times?

If this was an honest company who had a history of producing spectacular parts, no one would be questioning the times or the video. That's not the case, so everything they post will be met with the kind of skepticism they deserve.

When you build a reputation as a group of proven liars setting records that are 100% unverifiable, you are flat out going to be met with skepticism and doubt. For instance, I have seen pretty pictures and wild claims about crankshafts before from ET. The last one turned out to be a "borrowed" picture from another well-known shop that actually has a good name in the states. There is no denying the fact that that happened. Don't come here and act like some kind of victim. You did this to yourselves.

He broke 5 rear difs and one propshaft in 9 passes. He did 3 complete passes total with low boost in the first gears to keep it together, one of which was the new world record, 7.88. In which it even went sideways.

Until Extreme Tuners show up at an actual meet with people who want to race them, they will always be laughed at. Many people have offered to pay for their travel to these meets and they still refuse to come.

They can video all they want, show time slips all they want (which can easily be faked), etc., etc. but until they actually show up to a race with other respectable shops, they're going to be laughed at and mocked.

He run a 7.9 here in Greece and you doubted it again. He left Greece and travelled to Malta, in foreign ground, on a NHRA strip. There is no question nor can you doubt anything now. He has the world record. The event was even live in Facebook.

Why you think I didn't even bother to post something already ???
There will always be something that EXtreme done wrong and will be blamed
It's not about the car or times anymore, and just for your information whoever said they had a fundraise for him to come to US and race that's absolutely bull**** cause they raised almost nothing when for his car to be shipped with all spare parts + whatever Spyros needs to spend is close to 30k

World record what? Most passes at "not full power" or most smoke blown up people's asses?
