I assume at some point I will have to resign myself to the fact that I have to take this ridiculous claim seriously.
For the time being, I will explain how the video was captured and what the build state of the car was during the video and development of the engine.
The car is a 2006 MK5 GTi press car that is an auxiliary chassis for APR Motorsport. The chassis is completely OEM and was one of the first MK5's ever made with an incredibly low VIN that technically doesn't exist. APR MS uses it to dyno test their spare engines. The car has the OEM transmission, suspension, brakes, instruments, interior, etc and the OEM 17" wheels and tires.
Our client in Dubai sent his ecu, keys, ignition cylinder, instrument cluster, wiring harness and central convenience monitor as his race car was EURO spec and we wanted to make sure all would work for him once he received the engine we were sending. Some or most of those bits were swapped into our US Spec chassis for the calibration, video and testing.
The car is being driven on a relatively straight piece of road that has some hills and valleys and would be considered rather "hilly".
The camera is mounted from the sunroof and I believe there is a second person in the car for some of the pulls holding a camera for a different angle that may or may not have been used for the vid.
It was not our intent for other people to measure the time of acceleration or whatever but we assumed people would. We didn't do it ourselves because we don't really care as we have nothing to compare it to and other results are more important to us than the time of acceleration. Performance Box data would have been helpful though and I do that now for most cars when we finish new development.
That being said, this thread is a complete waste of my time and I am not going to fall prey to these baseless attempts to discredit us.
Enjoy YOUR turbo kit Johnny and if you want to gun for us, find us on a track.
