I have to move this here because someone doesn't like me posting in sick cars thread but started like this :







He nicely replied the reason he has that much HP





LOL, what does ASKING SR do for me? Do the same to you and feed me some bullshit story thinking that I know nothing about cars? It only works on people like you that don't understand how modifying cars work.

You do realize HP gain and mods are not Accumulative right?

just because that mod adds 8 and that mods at 12 doesnt make it a 20HP gain total.

I will list out all your mods for you,

25 HP gain for your AWE exhaust, not like your claimed 30.

13 - 17 HP gain for the EVOMS R8 intake

I cant find the filter so I'll copy the 5HP gain.

17 - 20 hp gain for the APR chip, 25 if running 100 OCT but you claimed 35

I can't get info on the Underground racing throttle body, considering they have NEVER made anything for the V8 4.2 and only the V10.

I also don't know where the fuck you get R8 V8 4.2 "lightweight titanium cylinder head"


But lets add some stuff up, 420 BHP + 25 AWE EXHAUST + 17 INTAKE + 5 FILTER + 25 APR CHIP = 492

Ill let you have 40 HP for the rest of the shit you listed which is pretty impossible = 532... still kinda off from your claim....


I will apologize for being an ignorant asshole when you prove it to me and show me dyno sheets.


Also From what I know but I don't know much considering I am not balling enough to own a vehicle like yours and I am happy that you have something that awesome... but I researched in to UGR TT they DO NOT make a turbo charge kit for your r8 v8 4.2

Perhaps all it takes is money and they will get that done for you, and you can shut me up by having your vehicle TT'd at UGR

If they do please do it and prove it so I can shut the fuck up and never doubt you again.


Till then, I can say that you are bullshitting and didn't do enough research before blabbing your mouth off online.

If I were you I'd claim that I was doing a 4.2 TT @ Heffner.


But perhaps you are just a fish of SR and believed everything they said, but heres a life tip, be more cautious what companies "CLAIM" to offer and ask they for proof which could be as simple as a dyno sheet.

But then I am nobody and I don't have the money you have so I can't really teach you how to spend your money.

Again come back with a dyno sheet and I will apologize like a man.

[broken_arrow]

I have to get some popcorn

A friend of mine in Toronto has an R8 4.2 with a VF Engineering Supercharger (VF550) and he ONLY has 550 hp with forced induction, so I am curious as to how one can get the 4.2 close to 600 hp with bolt-ons...

Also, you can't just add all modification numbers up and say my car has X hp. I have Dinan exhaust, throttle bodies, pulley, 3.92 Diff, Intake and a Stg. 3 tune and all I gained was 45-50 rwhp, which is roughly 60 crank hp...

The truth is, the Germans do not leave a lot of hp out on the table...

[Energy]

Lol 900hp? Hmm doesn't underground only work on the v10 r8?

Sounds like he's just pulling numbers out of the air. Why am I not surprised.

Again come back with a dyno sheet and I will apologize like a man.

First off let me say, I too strongly doubt Matt is getting 580.
But going crazy with bolt-ons + heads & cams, ~100 hp gain isn't unbelievable.
So he over exaggerated, whats the big fucking deal, he's still pretty believably pushing into the 500's.

More importantly though, it seems like you get off calling this guy out.
What's your problem? Can't stand people who have more money than you? And don't rebuttal that it's his parent's money not his. They give him money, it's his.

You NEVER hear people bitch at lottery winners the way people like you bitch at rich kids.

You'll apologize if he proves to you he's pushing 580? Are you fucking 6 years old? He doesn't have to prove shit to you. If you think he's full of shit, move on with your day and go to another thread. Or tell him you think otherwise.
and I LOVE how you're trying to give him life advice on trusting "claimns" from companies. You think he gives two shits over whether a part he buys gives him +1hp or +2hp? Not everyone dyno's their car after each and every mod. Not everyone needs to know exactly the size of their small penis; trying to grasp at every additional mm. There's nothing wrong with an estimate on what you're pushing.

And for your information you condescending douche; Underground Racing does a lot of custom parts. So a throttle body made for his V8 R8 is more than believable. AND, their TT systems are all custom systems dependent on the customer's car.

From what I've read on this forum, MattZhang; I could take him or leave him. I get why he would rub people wrong way. But you come off way worse than the worse possible interpretation of him.

[Vale46Rossi]

Actually, this is a car forum, I am calling him out because its not possible.

If he claims it he needs to prove it is that simple.

If he can't back up his claims guess what then he should not have said it in the first place.

I never said I wasn't a condescending douche so that doesn't matter.

There's a big difference between running 500 and 580...

even if it was his money I'd say exactly the same, prove it. No proof it's not true its that simple.

I never bitched as him as a rich kid, I am going by facts that its not possible for his claims.

He actually has to prove it considering he claims it, if not don't put it out to the public to read on a public forum.

If he claims that his car has that HP, I am sure that he has a fucking dyno chart to prove it or how is he going to back up his claim? I'll even gladly pay for his dyno chart if it his 580 like he has claimed it to be.

Underground racing is not going to build him a V8TT unless he pays out of his ass, they made one for the V10 because it was a similar engine to the V10 Lamborghini uses which they already tt'd

The smarter route regardless would go to a company that has done it already and can buy it for install ready to go, drop 30k gets car turbo'd right away with a company that has done it many times.


EDIT:

500 and 580 is a big difference it was obvious he was over exaggerating on purpose.

I am a car enthusiast and would love to know how those numbers are achieved and this is a car forum not for someone to BS and pull numbers out of his ass for E-bragging rights.

[sekin67835]

For all you know, he might actually believe his car is 580hp. Sr auto could've fed him some bs and charge him insane amount of money for no extra power. Sure 500 and 580 Hp is a big difference and for technical reasons, sure you can call him out for it. But who the fuck cares if he actually "only" has 500 horse power. Does that 80 horse power going to affect you in anyway? Just don't believe it and move on.

People going around the forum delusionally bragging about themselves should affect everyone here, and shit like this should be called out, maybe not in such a melodramatic fashion, but I wouldn't appreciate liars in my community either.

Don't even know how someone drew the conclusion that Stevenduang called matt out because he "couldn't stand people who had more money than him"

I would want you to build the engine as I hear those engines are weak stock. Not sure on the power but should be 700+ with a stage 2.

We can R&D it, shouldn't be much difference from the v10.
... stage 2 will offer more than 700 on pump. stage 3 is over 850 and 900+ on race...
If you add up all the mods its roughly 580 to be exactly i was told 575. Having Dragged a LP560 and winning, im pretty sure the R8 is over 560. So. i dont really need to prove any more...

I would got to some compnay like Heffner or Stasis but they both suck ass and i can get the same power by upgrading parts without a blower so why spend more? Undergrounds Naturally Aspirated systems offer over 600hp... so... do you want to prove me wrong? As for a dyno sheet i dont have one, i was told and when adding up all the upgrades its different, PS. my AWE Exhasut is modified not stock and so is my APR chip their both retuned for my car, hence why i get hella black smoke when the cars cold. http://www.undergroundracing.com/performance-upgrades/naturally-aspirated-systems.html

[DjMZ]

I'm sending the car over in a couple months so... 6 weeks after that i will have 900 give or take 50. I dont see why i need to prove myself... its not like im taking your car and your money and claiming numbers, i just know how fast my own car is and i enjoy it for what i think it is...

[belaud]

I'll half and half @ RG for your dyno Matt, so you can show us the 580 WHP, serious offer.

P.S: Underground racing said they will do R&D, meaning there is no available kit, meaning the entire thing will be custom, which is pretty cool, but you will be paying out. of. your. ass. You may as well buy a R8 V10 and start over.

And over 900+ HP is on Race fuel, not pump.

Back to my popcorn.

[dlo]

everyone always be hating on u matt, let em haters hate, juss do ur thang and dont let em vultures pick at you when u fuck up

^This, mod your car for yourself, not for others.

THey gave me a price... its pretty crazy... 900 is on 93 Octane i think...

I dont understand how people drew that connection either?

Even if you were Steve Mcqueen or Lewis Hamilton if you claim that the 4.2 N/A V8 R8 is able to pull 580 I am going to call you out it's that simple.

There is nothing wrong with calling someone out in this world... if he can prove it then I feel that I have made a mistake and need to educate myself a lot more.

Heffner is a pretty popular company and perhaps if you have been following the horsepower shootouts ever yyear they are always at Texas Mile with something pretty spectacular.

The UGR N/A systems you linked is on the Gallardo with the V10 engine. I am not wanting to prove you wrong but rather I would like how are these numbers reached other than someone on the other side telling you numbers and you are just adding numbers up together. Yes, adding up HP does not work cumulatively I know most it only makes sense that if my exhaust is 15 hp and my chip gains 20 it adds up to 35. Its not as simple as you think it is. Also your car spitting black smoke doesn't mean that its modded and gives more horsepower, you should get that checked.

If you still believe that you have 580, I would be extremely impressed but I highly doubt it at the moment. Like I said I would offer to pay for your dyno run at Racing Greed (shameless plug for sponsor) since they are extremely reputable and know what they are doing!

Like I said it is hard to add the mods up and get an exact number just like that, perhaps your butt dyno makes you feel like that you do have 580; but we will NEVER know unless there is a dyno sheet.

Also just because you "raced" a 560 doesn't mean that your car is faster because a 560 has 560 hp, you have to account for gear ratios, drivetrain, who stepped the gun and what not. Racing on the street cant NEVER prove it and even if you are at the drag strip you have to account for 60ft and driver as well.

There are way too many things to account for to easily say and claim that your car has X amount of HP because you beat a car with X amount of HP

Congrats on getting a TT'd system from UGR and I hope you enjoy it and you are able to handle it. I would love to see it soon locally and be mesmerized when you drive by. Remember this I am not doubting that you can afford all this and what not, hell you own give or take half a million dollars worth of cars.

But conclusion is that I just CAN'T bring myself to believe your 4.2 has 580 HP, I know it's fast but it's not the numbers that you got (because it's not realistic) and I am not sure where exactly you got those numbers.

[Tim Budong]

i dont understand this....
how bolt ons get that much gain

I drive a VW, so like you, many bolts on to claim increase HP
but from having a chipped car like you say you have matt, the increase isnt as radically significant as the manufactures have said.

i call bullshit
my 200hp at crank chipped pumps close to 275hp at crank on a stage2 chip with full tbe and a hpfp to boot..

I know im comparing your r8 to my gti, but i can't see this crazy gain you claim
even with a bigger turbo on gtis, the increase from my stage2 setup to the next isn't a HUGE jump in hp

but if this is what u claim, i hope you don't blow up your car...

[Vale46Rossi]

The GTI will have a lot bigger gains due to it being turbo, the R8 is a N/A car and we all know that N/A cars won't have that much gain unless they go FI, His numbers are more realistic if he went supercharger, catback, pulley rather than these bolts on heres and there that claims to give him that much.

[Akinari]

I thought this was a spotted thread, not a "how much horsepower can Matt's R8 make?" thread or am I missing something here?
