ridiculous tuner test/show

My friend gave me this link after ripping his hair out. haha.
Content: It's basically a show in which this one shop tests different parts on different cars in order to call out the manufactor's. Uh... it's quite large and it's about 15 mins long.
Warning: A lot of you will say "waste of time", so if you don't wanna watch.. fine. It also contains one use of the "s" word.

Pros: I get to laugh about how ridiculous some people are. Also, at around 14 mins, they test it at Irwin and there are a couple of cool wrxs...

enjoy... maybe.

WOW, that first 30 or so seconds killed more brain cells than a 24 pack. I didn't get past the Lebanese part.

I have a lot of difficulty believing that you can actually lose 60 hp from that exhaust... They must have done something wrong.

I didn't watch the rest, so I wouldn't know...but maybe they didn't get a baseline, and ended up comparing their dyno sheet to the factory spec sheet which shows crank hp :rotfl:

Edit: n/m, watched the rest.

This video shows just about everything that is wrong with the tuner scene in the US. Dumb girls trying to talk tech, changing parts without proper tuning to follow, giving a reputable company a bad name after half-assed testing of their product.

I feel sorry for that guy. He may as well have been talking to a bucktoothed blow-up doll wearing clown makeup with all of the information he was trying to give her. Somehow, I don't think she understood (or cared about) anything that he was saying.

Honorable mentions: The cameraman must have been going through crack withdrawls, judging by how steady and focused the footage is. Playing hard rock riffs and industrial metal during parts-changing and drag racing scenes is so 2 fast 2 furious. Also, shows that use words like "sick handling" and "massive torque" instead of using actual numbers to express these values are obviously geared toward dummies.

I just had my intelligence insulted for 16 minutes. Don't watch unless you want to be instantly angry.
