Aside from the heat issues... this is how I feel:

Good stuff.

Lol..insufficient turbos system....overheated.....what is the point of reviewing it ?

Too bad they didnt get to do some lap time at the track. But way better review than the other reviewer from drive

I'd want my check engine light off and tire pressure sensors working right.

I'm curious about why the CEL was on but also, I think it's a bit stupid to continue increasing the power without first addressing the heat issues. They had the same heat issues when Drive reviewed it and it seems like it makes even more power now.

If I'm wrong, correct me.

Its probably because its a street car with occasional pulls. But reliablity should be priority

They have taken it to the track. My friend has seen it a couple time. He said the car is pretty sick, just breaks down a lot

Impressive

Reliability should be a priority but this is their R&D car and it's nice to see how far they can push the platform. I'm sure any 300whp Crawford kit would be buttoned up and quality.

Keeping this car on the ragged edge is its purpose for now...

I remember a while ago, Matt Farah test drove an frs with a FBM kit in it. They also had heat issues, which they just mentioned in the FBM thread that they mostly solved by removing the plastic piece that sits just in front of the windshield wipers.

I'm really surprised that the Crawford guys haven't modded the front bumper or hood at all to allow more airflow. It must be an oven in the engine bay.

If I get a large chunk of money, I will send my car to them for something a bit more mild.

This car is amazing!

I love how people see a video with a car that has gone through more than one motor, has a check engine light on, overheats, and has run like crap in two big Internet videos now and yet they still want to throw money at Crawford. There are plenty of better options out there RIGHT NOW to have a better performing car than the Crawford car.

I mentioned some of this above. Kaiv from m3forums has raced with them a couple times and it breaks down every time. The car is hardly something i would aspire to when, as you mentioned, there are more reliable alternatives out.

450rwhp and runs a 12.8...uhh?

116 trap is indicative of a very powerful car...LOL

Big turbo...yeah not so much.

116 trap is NOT a 450whp car... that's complete crap.

I think it would be fun to play, let's take a shot every time he says "when it's working right" I would easily be drunk by the end of the 7 minutes.

I would love to see how this thing runs now...

It still runs the same Lonewolf, we have repositioned the intercooler and added some ducting but the tune has not changed in seven months now.

Any new vids?

Actually, Road & Track is doing a feature article on the car next week. They will do the full test and it will be on the cover of their mag as well!

More great PR for the twins :)

Let's hope it doesn't over heat and works well this time

If they drive it at 90 /100% for an hour straight it will get hot, guaranteed. Just like what happened with the others. Its a daily driver not a full on race car.
