I would assume that the tune would be very safe - no different to the Ecutek tunes (with warranties) found in WRX's etc. Some people are willing to pay for the peace of mind, but I'm also curious about the transmission (cooling mostly) at that sort of power output, especially in the SS.

The fact that they would sell this for the SS, SSV without it including a big brake package is ridiculous. 500kw and stock Hold brakes = write off.

Only if you don't know how to drive.

Eh, the standard 4 pots are actually quite decent.

One would assume, if you have the cash for this, youd also get some decent pads and rotors and maybe some decent fluid instead of ebay specials.

Although, if my recent interaction with a VE associated Facebook page is anything to go by, 300rwkw+ and Chinese tyres go hand in hand so *shrug*. Natural selection.

Bloke I know just picked up his new VF Maloo with 550kw Walky kit. Will talk to him in the next day or 2, and find out what he thinks.:smoking:

Everyone who grabs one loves it. Thats fine. I have no issue with people who have Walkinshaw stuff and love it and its a great package.

However, its people who think its the tits and its something super duper special exclusive to Club Wankingshaw. When its resold aftermarket **** at a price premium.
