Anyone looking to buy some snake oil? LOL

My father isn't a car buff by any means; but today he sent me a link for a product to see what I thought... I just had to share this for a good laugh!

http://www.gfchips.com/subarubrz.aspx

Promised gains:

Up to 30HP
10% increase in fuel efficiency
30lb-ft in torque

ONLY $69.00 marked down from a $399 MSRP?!

:l aughabove:


A Google search pulled up plenty of forums where people asked about the product or were detailing what happened when idiots put this device on their car.

Just wanted to share for everyone to get a good laugh! Thanks!

hahaha, just went on their site and typed "stop selling scam crap to customers" in the chat with a representative dialog box.

representative replies "you do know our chips are dyno proven and lab tested, right"
me: "yeahhhh sure"
representative: "it'd be good if you got an education and stopped trolling"

lmfao...

I'm betting the creators have involvement in the Fuelshark and the Tornado:
