    Haha I think he should post some stories from such a wonderful experience. Just to show everyone a little something, here is the video of his R8 from streetfire.net, his "blackbird" comes in about a 1:10 in:

    well since they don't have any info about what happened or vids I was just curious of your take on the experience, any cool/interesting info would be awesome. I watched the episodes from last year and they were sick

    Some other guys from NY in an R8 with a 12 gallon fuel cell. I hadn't thought of that.

    It was a huge advantage. It was just a V8.

    That car will be simply insane! MTM isn't cheap either. Guess he will certainly need that fuel cell in the RS4 now! Way to go Adam.

    Yeah that car will be unreal, and I'm guessing by the s5 supercharger price- it will cost at least $20k to get that done

    My guess is closer to 50k. Its basically the same system they are offering for the R8!

    Agree with the above post. That is my best guess as well, and inquiring minds most certainly do want to know.

    Not to bust the secret bubble, but an EMP basically fries all sensitive electronics within its range... Obviously it would be directional and pointed forward.

    Its not an EMP or a pinch. No way to power something like that nor have it not affect the car. Besides what good would it do? It is amusing to see how many different theories have arisen from this.
