OK guys, I have long been pocking fun of 18G turbos for being over-priced and not performing much better than a 16G. Well, if you look at our current #9 fastest guy (Adrenaline), looks like he has set a new 18G record!

Checking out his time-slip, looks like he beat some poor guy with an AWD 14 sec car by over 3 sec! I wonder what turbo that 14 sec car had? Oh, well…

That is around 550-580whp on a full weight 2G! Simply astonishing performance from that small turbo…

I wonder why haven’t we heard more about this amazing accomplishment?

What about #1? You are not suggesting that his timeslip is bogus, are you?

I see they fixed it and its correct now. There was another time there early a head of Shepherd's time. Can someone delete #9 because that time is bogus.
 
Looks alittle fishy to me. I think he stole the time slip from the guy above him. If you look at the both time slips they are the same car at the same track. Both are numbered 43, I don't know about elsewhere but at my local track you keep the same number all year. Also one guy is from Texas and the other is from North Carolina, while its possible they could have gone to the same track I just don't think so. And to top it off, if you look at the profile for the guy who has the 18g it doesn't look like he knows what he's talking about, he says he's got a fmic and a smic. He calls his open air filter "ram air". Just looks like BS to me.
