B00STDZ Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Not mine, but could it be true? stock t3 turbo pushing 21 psi... 280whp, 404wht! Very impressive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin.pk Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I believe that is a hybridz member named "Thumper" Think he has a gto now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Very impressive. Anyone heard anything more about thumper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggyZ Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I guess he didn't make that much power on that run. It sounded like a 130HP non-turbo pull to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Did not sound like 21psi and 400+ wheel torque pull. Also why is the big fan not infront of the motor? Weird. Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big-phil Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 HOLY CRAP!!! We talked allot when I was selling my 83 ZXT!! I had no Idea about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh817 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Wait, joke or not joke... HybridZ non-tech section confuses me. If so, thats kinda weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggyZ Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 It's not a joke. It was very hush hush around here for a while and pretty much any time it came up... it felt like a conspiracy in here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh817 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 His pictures make it look like he has to pinch a huge loaf, man. Haha Oh and by the way. That forum, perfect example of why we have a limit to signature picture size... Looks like he owned a lot of toys I guess. Z, bike, what else?

B00STDZ Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 Wow. From 280whp/404wht $1,000 zxt's to murder... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh817 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Those numbers don't quite sound believable anyway but thats me being prejudice to the murderer, not the hybridz member. Because apparently, they're two separate entities in my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc052685 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Damn, thats not cool. JC...did you know him? Yeah, he did the initial MSnS install on my car. We would ocasionaly talk on the phone or hang out at car meets and such. Obviously I have no info what so ever about it. I only heard about it from by brother who heard it from a buddy. See, Ted was kinda known locally as the guy with the fast rental vette. He basically went out and rented a hertz edition 2008 Vette and threw on a 100-ish shot and went out wooping every ones ass and taking home some money. Its the standard "whould have never though" kinda thing. All though everyone always said something is a little off about him. I do feel for him and the victim. Not sure why some one would kill but I really dont know any of the back groud so.......... As far as the hp caim. I would have to say I believe it as the dyno was done a SGP here localy. They were at one time a reputable shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggyZ Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 As far as I can tell, we have only the claim in the video's description to go from. What other reason do we have to believe that quiet, boring, slow-revving dyno pull was that much power. Let's not forget this is supposedly only a $1000 car.

jc052685 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 well it was only 280hp so all the tq was way down low then it probably fell off hard. not really a dyno queen. If i remember right the motor when in to this car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh817 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Wait a second, I had a dude say he could install my MSnS and intercooler piping blah blah blah get it all ready to go that was in Houston, about 2 years ago when I was new here. My nonchalant "weird" response has now become o_O thats crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
