I have to say I am a little disappointed that there will be no 8500 rpm runs, and no blowing the doors off any turbos. I can live without seeing Malibu get hurt trying to make 165 with the top off. To be honest ... is this really playing out much differently then anyone expected? The internet is a great place... people flex their muscles and other’s bash that flexing and in the end what’s going to happen? We may see some shots at watered down claims to which Malibu will scream I told you so and thump his chest. Then the rest of us will still balk because they’re no where near the claims in the original add.

I am sure anyone can find a tach that will show 9000 RPM if you like, just as Malibu absolutely could have blown the doors off a turbo in that run somewhere. No one is going to assemble a selection of turbos and make various runs vs, Malibu’s car and Malibu is not claiming he can consistently make 8500 rpm in the first 3 gears on a dyno. No one is exactly right and no one is exactly wrong either.
