evotech pully and ecu, 80mm TB, supersprint long tube headers and full exhaust, I/C upgrade, python air tubes, (still waiting for air box), quafie LSD, toe links, hre C20s, brembo GT brakes, bridgestone reo1r tires. many more new tricks not installed yet so they dont count.
sounds fast to me....
i wouldn't know, but wouldn't all those mods put you over 600hp? In that case, the heavier S65 doesn't stand a chance...
sounds like its gonna be really fun. g'luck...
edit: oh, and for the record, i believe the brabus EV12 is the faster four door sedan in the world...

Matt Barnes is a cool cat. Too bad he only got a one year contract. Hopefully he will have another good year and can get a nice contract somewhere else.
As for the race, I think you can get the jump, but he should be plowing you down by 80 or so (max). Good luck bro, and tape it. keep in mind that there is no shame in loosing to twin turbo'd 650hp.

Good for you. Stick with who gave you service. Too bad Creative doesn't see the advantage.
Sad thing is that creative is an authorized EVOtech dealer and that makes me wonder about them. Is oliver thinking straight?

Good luck bro on Friday, make sure you do some practice runs to get things dialed in right. 
I would also throw away that rubber O ring you have saved as a keepsake around your shifter, might bring you bad luck.

Are RT Stage 5 cars really that fast!? I would think the massive torque and the 600+hp of the 65 would take down any modded 55 (without Nitrous use). Or, are you guys Stage 5, plus other upgrades?...

He is no longer RennTech. What do their stages mean, anyway?

I didnt looked back when we started but he ctached up at 280km (about 185 mph)...but I had porblem with SC belt...RT 5 with Evotech pullies should be faster...
