That is a hideous C5! Guy prob spent a nice piece of change on it but I'm sure its nowhere close to 550hp especially with an A4

Damn that is a nice car, i agree and am doubting the 500hp though, unless they are counting the power added by all the flames being painted under the hood, in that case its probably got about 1000rwhp.
How much are they asking for that thing?

People are stupid. Had a customer swear his car made 500 rwhp because he bore his 98 ls1 5 over and rebuilt the heads. Stock cam, headers, everything. But it was rebuilt to have 5 hundred horse...

EVERYONE in my home town with a rebuilt, sorry I mean "built", 350 claims over 400hp yet most run slower than a good running stock 350 would. One that keeps cocking off to me forgot to put his valve seals in when he was putting it back together and was to lazy to tear it back down, still swears it's making 450hp.
