i expected a can of worms, as i am aware of this guy, but to state santa pod, i would assume someone somewhere must of seen or heard about "a" run this car must of made?
he always seems to build big power mr2s, which i like to see, but would be great if one of them did get near these levels.

He claims he has beaten the record with this car, but no guaranteed proof

The spec of the car I can not reveal all of it due to trade secrets so some of it is below:

I find the fact they will not even put up a dyno run to confirm the bhp etc to mean they are not trustworthy. I can understand to an extent keeping certain elements of the build secret until sold, but to not even prove the figures with a rolling road slip or a run slip means I would not even waste my time with the telephone call.
I am going to live forever, or die trying!

Bang on!
All competitors and builders will have secrets - that is how you beat the competition; cam timing and cam profiles are just two examples.
But when you want to sell your product, at least make the effort and offer evidence to back up your claims! Even moreso when you have a proven history of diy-timeslips-rus.

These ads are likely to be solely designed to attract attention to himself and his business. That and to ruffle a few feathers on here, which he seems to be good at.
