Supercar driver club

Post by wrekka » Sun May 27, 2012 6:47 pm

Went out for a run with these guys (and girls) today up to Keth Edwards Motors (Ulverston)
Was a good day out with the weather being so hot.
Lots of nice motors including the new Mclaren and a tasty 9ff plus lots of Ferraris, GTR's etc.
Just 2 RS4's=mine and one which was silver with a carbon roof tuned by JBS.
I'd never heard of this tuning company before anyone else?
I'm not sure if the guy worked for them or was a customer but he was quoting rediculous power figures. I presumed it had a supercharger as he said it was 580 bhp - 700bhp with the nitrous. Now it did not have a supercharger just a stage 2 custom code map, decat, milltek full system. I didn't want to rain on his parade but that just seems very unlikely! He even said that he had a dynograph too -they must perform magic there! Don't want to offend anyone who knows him or if you're on here it just seems an unbelievable power figure for a NA car......
Comments welcome as always, especially if you know the guy or i'm wrong
Sold: 2012 RS3 APR St2 exclusive buckets!

Although those power figures are a load of bo**ocks for a N/A car I have seen JBS's Grey Avant which is supercharged and I would expect that to produce 550-600hp.

Perhaps the guy you spoke to was getting confused between his car and their demonstrator?

The thing is, why are the tuners telling customers these rediculous figures? Anyone who does some research will know it's garbage!!
