You'll see his (Dv8) other posts where he is sort of defending John, but then in others he's completely laying blame on the tune (not on John, which is weird because you can't have a tune without a tuner, right?). Quote:

I read the whole thread and I don't see how this can be linked directly to John's tune.
Smells like a witch hunt. |

You're completely right. I'm not the biggest fan of Visconti, but Pizzaman beats the piss out of his car. I doubt the reason that it finally blew is directly related to Visconti.

Rods fail for one of three reasons..
1) Det 2) Too much torque 3) Defect The tuner is responsible for 1 & 2, as long as the correct fuel was used. Unless the customer specifically asked the tuner (against the tuner's advice) to go beyond what was known safe. |

It's already been posted by @Shagaliscious, but the owner is not blaming Visconti. The car was driven REALLY hard. I'm a member on the GTR forum and the owner admits he is hard on his car and is about to build his car even stronger.
Please don't get me wrong, I'm not excusing Visconti as I would never use him, but in this case, it was just time for the engine to let go. |

This is why I prefer to buy a car with the power I want stock. If I had a GTR it would never be modded in the engine dept. I already feel that any car that gets to 60 in 5 seconds flat is amazing and yet a GTR doesthe deed in 2.9 seconds!
