Re: Bad day for this talon

I'm pretty sure those guys were just joking, they were obviously smiling when they said it.

Re: Bad day for this talon

The best memory I have of someone abusing the hell out of a car was Jesse James. Monster garage episode why he bought that mid 80's Olds Delta 88. He did a few little burnouts and then just had it in neutral with his foot on the gas. Damn thing never stopped running. The exhaust manifold was glowingand the radiator blew up. Then an oil fire started. But it never stopped running even on fire it was still going.

No he didnt... The guy is on DSMTalk. He is using Mega Squirt as an EMS and the guy that he had tune it for him doesnt understand the concept of "Knock/Detionation". 35psi on a 60-1 and he only made mid 400whp before the rod separated from the piston. The tuner has tried to blame it on the 7 bolt rods just being weak and failing at anything over 350whp but there are a lot of people out there who have run 450+whp daily driven 2gs with 7 bolts. The guys is working on a 6 bolt build over the next month or so.
