Sleestack's car.



Definitely not for show. I'm not willing to doll up my car with electronic components. I just want to drive.
I like, and agree with, that state of mind.

LOL-typical New Yorkern with a attitude, myself born and raised in Bay Ridge district of Brooklyn, New York. Been there and done that . . . wondering do you have the slick back hair, silver chain and chest sticking out?


Anyway any particular reason why you didn't go with an establish tuner like Brabus or Renntech that specilizes in engine modfication for this project?

Wondering where are you going to drive this vehicle?

Slick back hair, silver chain and chest sticking out? Naa, I didn't even look like that when I lived in NY. I think you spent too much time in that dump called Brooklyn or looking at pictures of your mama.

Why I didn't use Brabus or Renntech? I didn't use Brabus b/c their answer to massive power is to do a big block drop-in. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with that, but not to path I was looking for. I don't need to drop a V12 into a car that is already burdened by a heavy front. I didn't go with Renntech, b/c I specifically wanted my conversion to integrate a Kleemann system. They use AMG superchargers. Furthermore, they are on the other side of the country. However, the main reason I didn't use Brabus or Renntech is because I wanted to use Evosport. They know what they are doing, haven't disappointed me with anything I've done with them thus far and are building a great business. I've been through 3 rounds of tuning and have worked with other tuners. I happen to like the guys at Evosport the best and am happy to give them a project that they can use for their own marketing and R&D. Furthermore, I know that each engine component has been specifically built for my car and has been sourced with some of the best in the business.

Where can I drive this car? On the roads jackhole. Any reason you think this car is any less suitable for the roads than it was when it had 500 hp?

It's pretty clear form the number of posts you have and the content of your other posts that you are either a troll who has reregistered under a new name or someone who has a chip on his shoulder. Why don't you crawl back in your hole, think about tuning your car some more, and come back and offer an opinion when actually do something.
