    Possibly the most capable Huracan in the world ...

    "Call it more reliable"? The SC is (not) more reliable than our stage 1-3 TT street setups. The (one) customer that was an actual UR customer that put a SC on his Huracan was due to his budget at the time, which is fine. He will tell you, its slow compared to the TT and he will have turbos on it soon enough.

    If you do send customers here for a TT, thanks. I have never had a customer say you guys sent them here. Anyone that calls out of the country that wants a bolt on TT system (don't offer mail orders), I tell them to call VF for a SC setup.

    What is getting irritating is what you are posting and what I'm told you guys tell people. The main thing you claim is that TT's systems are not reliable, which is false. Our Huracan TT systems are very reliable, the 800-1350 whp setups.

    that is all for now. thanks

    Heads up. UR 55 is in Dallas this weekend and would welcome some runs against any VF SC car and to make it fair, I'll tick her down to the lowest setting which is less HP than the VF SC systems.

    Maybe I will develop a SC system for you supercharger lovers, one that will go fast


    Now you're just cherry picking arbitrary results (different events,
    at different tracks, months apart, with limited knowledge of the
    cars or circumstances you're commenting on
    ) just so you can
    continue with your smear campaign.



    Maybe I underestimated how many potential customers are cross
    shopping our systems with yours when they call your office, and
    now you're starting to feel the pressure or growing jealous when
    you should just stay focused on what you do well.

    It's unbecoming for you to be so easily provoked by a web-review,
    and honestly you're less welcomed in this thread now that you're
    trying to lead the conversation.

    You're welcome to "secret shop" us by phone / e-mail / walk-in
    and speak with any one of our staff and see for yourself if we
    ever have anything negative to say about any other brand.

    That's not our style and there's at least a dozen VF Engineering
    customers on this forum alone who would vouch for that, after
    having dealt with us directly, and even encouraging us to share
    our candid opinions.



    I can empathize with your frustrations of being lumped into the
    same category of the nearly two-dozen other twin turbo builders
    who may be negatively offsetting the grading curve, but that's
    not our doing, and nothing we actively perpetuate other than
    stating the truth about our own reputation based on proven
    results when it comes to long term reliability (spanning nearly
    10 years on this particular platform
    ) with some of the most
    discerning owners out there.



    When we have customers who put on 10,000-20,000 hard miles
    a year without a single hiccup they are going to be understandably
    excited to share that information. And when they are faster than
    99% of the cars they encounter on the road (including multi-million
    dollar hypercars) that's also typically good enough for them.

    Your cars are no doubt part of that top 1% that will be quicker in a
    competitive environment, and no one in this discussion doubts that.

    In regards to the reliability, that is something that has to speak for
    itself
    as it's not something anyone can just say out load and hope
    it comes true. We're fortunate to have paying customers who are
    in the public eye every day driving these cars as hard as conceivably
    possible and accumulating miles far greater than anyone else with
    absolutely no significant issues to speak of.

    What a crock. The only "smear campaign" going on is your continuous drumbeat about how TT cars are for "four digit horsepower" and runway/racing events rather than general use, and that TT cars aren't as reliable as supercharged cars. That isn't true, and while I used to think it was out of ignorance, you no longer deserve the benefit of the doubt. The TT cars, and particularly the UR cars, that are posted about the vast majority of the time online are indeed very high HP cars that are often competing at runway events, etc. But those cars are not at all representative of UR cars as a whole, the majority of which are stage 3 or lower and are not accurately described as making "four digit horsepower." The stage 1 and 2 cars might come close to 1,000 hp at the crank, while the stage 3 cars can make about that at the wheels, but they are often driven on lower boost settings. These cars are the bulk of what UR puts out, are extremely reliable, and can be used in any manner in which you could use a supercharged car. They're just faster.

    But you aren't content to market your niche, which is a provider of a less powerful, lower cost alternative which can be installed locally and more quickly. Instead you push an illusion for marketing purposes, which rests on a false comparison between your cars and the big-power TT cars, which don't make up 20% of the TT market. And you try to do some of it subtly ("most capable" ), but consistently, even after being told you're pushing a false narrative. That's your "style."

    Scott, I cant control how these cars are treated well after they are built, in fact many years after they are built when they are owned by someone other than I built the car for originally. I also cant control what people change on these cars years down the road.

    What I can control is how my customers car run, esp the ones that paid me to build the car.

    Since you want to throw mud, I will go there with you, (at least your SC car will make it down the 1/2 mile without issue?) What about others with the VF SC? New customer just got a VF supercharger for his Performante and it will not make it down the 1/2 mile without throwing check engine lights. I also hear he is getting no response to get some help on getting rid of the check engine lights. These SC installs don't go so easy do they? I can back that statement up and others that have had issues with the SC setup if need be.

    Your car will make it down the 1/2 mile? What did you run? Was it faster than stock?

    PS. I get calls from people that have had their Huracans/R8 built at other tuners, and some of them have SC builds. People call me for help a lot of the times because they are not getting customer service or their cars are not getting figured out. I'm well informed of issues from the SC cars. Prob best not to throw mud with me. Thanks.

    More power increases the chance of something going wrong and since being the fastest was not something i cared about is why I'm happy just having my car faster than stock and more fun to drive. I can only speak from my experiences but I have had a VF system on 3 cars in a row now and my experience with them has been great. From pre purchase to install and then after they have been very responsive to any questions. And like I said before, no issues and no lights. But yea I think some bugs still being worked out on Performante system, was talking to a friend this weekend about problems on a Performante install. I'm sure it will get straightened out

    So why are they still selling them? Kinda messed up, no? Get it right on one car, test it well, make sure ALL the bugs are worked out, THEN sell it, Agree? There is also issues on regular Huracans, not just a Performante SC. Trust me, I'm well informed.

    Also, not sure whats different about the Perf VS the Normal Huracan. We had no issues with the TT Performante. The OEM tune file is about the same.
