Anyone ever hear Geiger Car’s upgrades to get the hp to 710?

Standard marketing BS. Reminds me of Hennessey's Gen 4 offering (https://www.supercars.net/blog/2008-hennessey-viper-venom-700nm/) - all fluff, no substance. I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Headers, high flow cats, tune, and a K&N airbox to net +65 HP at the crank. I think it's pretty well understood that those mods can increase HP by about that much, so nothing special there. I'd argue that the airbox is a bit of a downgrade compared to stock, but the K&N nut swingers will likely shit all over that opinion.

No mention how they are doing the tuning (could be HPTuners, could be the standard Prefix PCM) or what type of headers (tri-y vs. 5-into-1). No before/after dyno results, an unverifiable and rather useless reference to a 0-100 km/hr time improvement with no baseline, and a top speed improvement of 4 MPH (210 instead of 206 stock) that is, again, unverifiable.

All for only 11,900 Euros, or ~$12,650 USD. Add 4,700 Euros (~$5,000 USD) for KW shocks with unspecified spring rates that will likely ride like shit. Add 5,866 Euros (~$6,237 USD) for their aero kit, which looks like nothing more than a TA front splitter and rear spoiler. Sounds to me like they want you to pay for their name, as if that alone would give you the ultimate cars & coffee bragging rights.

That's a hard no from me, but I'm sure someone out there that doesn't know better would be willing to pay for it.

From a technical standpoint, the information they offer is unsatisfying at best.
