I'm with you guys..

Why not all tuners who develop their own turbos and tunes. This could be huge!

I personally would hesitate to buy a car prepped for such an event because I would have serious concerns about its longevity.

Karim, it is difficult to argue against much of what you say *BUT* what would be the worse possible outcome for either company? AN ENGINE FAILURE OF ANY KIND! That should prevent them from going too close to the edge.

Should be great fun for all. It would be nice if the track was closed for other 6speeders to show up with their tuned turbos and give a go a the same events. Definitely some very powerful TT's on this forum.

Professional driver hired to drive both cars, otherwise Levitas will be too much of an advantage to TPC (who I'm a customer of and am rooting for).

Mike will be driving his own car. Champion will be hiring a pro to drive theirs. I think that's fair.

As long as everyone remains classy, this will be a great event for everyone involved, regardless of who comes out on top. Props to both companies for stepping up to the plate.

Well...knowing what instigated the situation, I think that idea is out the window.

Pretty silly IMO. Whoever loses will make excuses for whatever reason and whoever wins will be saying I told you so. The loser has everything to lose and the winner has everything to win.

No way in hell I would do this

Good luck

The outcome will be very helpful for a lot of people to decide which turbos produce more power, TPC modded VTGs or Champion's 68mm Billet VTGs. I was one of those asking which ones produce more power. I was also asking for evidence, this will be very helpful.

I'm sure that those two companies are in the top 3 out there so both kits are crazy fast, also fastest is not always better.

I wish good luck to both teams
