450 hp NA Marauder? Came across this today LOL

[Stranger in the Black Sedan]

I was google searching some Marauder related tech info today and stumbled across this random site, that includes a few month old thread that some guy started, bragging about his "show car" 450 RWHP "NA" marauder. The video he provides of "his" car just happens to have some "alternator whine" as he claims, ...anyone recognize the car he is trying to pass off as his own in the first video?

Where do people get off pretending someone else's car is theirs, and making up a fake back story about it? I like how he confuses PCM control of the voltage regulator @ WOT w/ the alternator one way clutch, in his explanation of why that clearly SC car in the video is making some NA alternator whine. That explanation doesn't even make sense. I can guess at who the OP of that thread is LOL

hahaha, it's like an epidemic this week. I believe that's Shermanator's car in the first video. Not sure whose in the second video, maybe that one is actually his. He claims to be a member on here, I should PM him just for the lulz

[Stranger in the Black Sedan]

He's from CT...I have a guess.... I haven't been around here much lately but when I came across this guy's ridiculous and very uninformed claims, I couldn't ignore it. What a tool. How sad do you have to be to pretend other peoples' cars are yours, on a Battle Star galactica site of all places?

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

Did you guys bother to read the rest of the thread?

Not saying its def legit, but he posts,

"I put forged pistons and connecting rods in her they were originally powder and weak. I also did lumpy longer duration cams you can hear in the second video, larger valves and heavier springs, went from 24 lbs injectors to 60 lb and duel gt fuel pumps, changed the 80 mm mass airflow to a 100 mm non peg, tumble ported the heads and intake runner and matched all ports to every thing that was connected to them for perfect flow in and out. Set up the intake runner with water injection to cool the air fuel mixture down for better atomization, and went with a larger throttle body with a single flap for better flow. Custom long tube headers and did away with the 4 cats system and went with 2 high flows instead. Changed from a belt driven to an electric water pump to lessen the engine drag even more and a fluid balancer for the crank. "

And then posts a dyno pull sheet.

Hmm..not sure if it's possible to make those numbers NA...

[Stranger in the Black Sedan]

yep, read it. It's a nice fairytale to go along w/ other peoples' videos. And that would be a record breaking NA car w/ that work and 450 NA RWHP. I had to double check to make sure that wasn't my dad's dyno sheet ripped off my photo host, my dad's 4 valve made 459 rwhp @ 9 psi avg boost (dynod at Janetty, coincidentally). No boost would make that a little bit impossible.

Yep read all that, and even with that he wouldn't be out of the 300s :lol: Also, so what if he posted a dyno sheet? You can find a million of those on google images ;-)

Either way the 450hp NA part I could care less about, but the posting a trilogy car as the NA car I found pretty funny.

[Comin' in Hot]

All the pictures and the second video are of LeoVampire's car. I know he lives in New England so it's possible he's from CT.

[Blackened300a]

That's Leovampire. Not exactly sure why he would exaggerate like that.

[RF Overlord]

Anyone can claim anything on the interwebs.

I once had a guy at a gas station tell me his Civic made almost 1000 HP NA with just NOS.

Why, yes...I did buy the shares in the Brooklyn Bridge he offered me, too.

[RR|Suki]

Interesting :popcorn:

[Black Dynamite]

I LOL'd at the line about the whine in the first vid not coming from a supercharger but the alternator.

[L.Mark]

OK, if al that is true then my DTR is now pushing 300 RWHP!!! I'l post some stats later.....I promise....really...:rolleyes:

[LOWBUCKMM]

My turbo car is only putting down 315hp dang I should have built a N/A motor like he did. :lol:

How much psi? Did you post a thread about this?

[RacerX]

That's Leo's Huskey in the Avatar btw. Leovampire's car did dyno as highest "NA"... If you want to call using meth injection NA. :shake:

[Shermanator]

That's my car. Nov. 17, 2007, cecil county, 3rd run of day and was actually a 1/8 th mile run. 1st run was 11.2 and was told that I can't go that quick without a roll bar so I ran 8th mile trips. Note the 90 mph speed. Hey if he going to claim what is not his, he might as well claim a good one.

I don't think the guy who posted is Leovampire. Leovampire is disabled.

That's his dog in the avatar, I've seen it in person at Carlisle a few years ago. His screen name "ctgaydude" is also his youtube account name.

Wow! That is good news, I am so glad to see he beat his disability.:D

[IwantmyMMnow!]

I didn't want to say anything before because I knew no one would believe it, but I guess since there's proof it is possible, I've had a few low 400 HP runs on the dyno lately. Need to find someone else's....I mean....my dyno sheets and I'll post 'em up.














:D

[massacre]

Something's weird, Leo Vampire doesn't usually act like that.

Ok this is getting REALLY strange now.

Did some digging.

This was posted back in 2008, saying Dave had died. (page 4)

Too many pages but says he died on 01/08/2008, a bunch of donation were taken up. Someone posted up the info of the hospital in Philly where he was after having a stroke. Someone also posted up that they checked with the hospital and no such person had been there or was there.

Well that explains it! You become disabled, die from a Vampire bite and you are no longer disabled.
I wonder if Vampires are eligible for SSDI or W/comp DI???

That was my first thought. It does seem like someone is posing as him though. Not sure what the real deal is or who'd fooling who.

[Black Dynamite]

Now might be a good time for him to chime in....

I have a lot of questions about the after life.
When you die how many people give you money? How much does the ferryman charge? Can you spend money in the after life?

Or is this all a case of Münchausen syndrome? Does Münchausen syndrome qualify for SSDI or W/comp DI?

Yeah, I tipped him off on this. A fine pictorial timeline. I wonder if someone is raising money in Russia using pictures of my Taurus?

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

What if.... it's just a coincidence that our leovampire has the same username as this other douche bag? I mean he could have just found our Leo's username online and decided to say he has a MM.

[Mebot]

But LeoVampire commented on a brake thread I posted a while ago. I thought he was sincere

sent from a Samsung Galaxy far far away...

[sailsmen]

He died in January 2008 and rose from the grave in April 2008! That is an incredible feat. Could LeoVampire be the ONE???

Have to wait and see if he will answer to all this.

The internet is such a vast thing but yet extremely small to where you can't hide anything.

[IwantmyMMnow!]

During the first several months after I joined MM.net in Feb 2011, I had several discussions with him on both the board and via PM. I remember he was going to be at MV9, which I was excited about because I wanted to see his engine bay in person, but he didn't show.

Didn't he 'leave' MM.net a while ago because he was tired of the all the gay jokes and inuendos? I remember he disappeared for a while, but then came back.

Has anyone met this person prior to 2008 and/or after 2008?

This is very strange, indeed.... :confused:

[sailsmen]

2 oddities? There are no coincidences, must be a doubleganger!

[License2Bill]

[License2Bill]

He attended the car show at Central Connecticut State University last fall (October I think). My buddy who was there kept sending me pictures of the car. Gold valve covers, SW headers and all.

[robertmee]

If you look at leovampire's profile picture and you look at the picture someone posted in this thread about his death, it appears to have been taken with the same camera. Note the red date code in the lower right corner.

[Joe Walsh]

I know he attended Carlisle a few years ago....I remember the gold cam covers.
IIRC he won an award for his Marauder/engine bay...
Seemed like a nice guy when I met him there.


BTW: This would put my engine over 500 RWHP!

[justbob]

I'm really curious what his response is going to be on the many questions brought forth.

[SMOKE]

Looks like he's looking to get the thread taken down. I last Emailed w/ Dave a little over a year
ago...definitely not like the person I had met. And all those other pages and links are just bizzare. Chalk one up to the internet.

Best,

He was at Carlisle in 2010.

Death notice in 2008? Why did it take so long for this BS to be uncovered?

I'd rather he came back from the future with the winning Powerball numbers.

funny, I can see the money thing as real, way back when Leo talked about not paying his bills so he could have mod money. Then when membership here said that doing that was wrong (no suprise lol). He didnt seem to care, like he didnt care about his credit. Or perhaps someone with a fresh identity. Oh yeah it's him. Leo wont be back here that's for sure

[sailsmen]

Hey, some are still waiting for an explanation.

[RR|Suki]

That's the art of being a confidence artist, they always seem like great people. Such is life though, I don't see an explanation happening at any point soon.

[MarauderMedic]

Sounds like a ricer's dream to me.
