Funny..
I went down to hang at a local cruise night last night and we see a red '01 pull in to the crowd with us stangers that we've never seen before. Nice clean car but then the guy opened his mouth and what a mess..
He started off by telling everyone around him that he's pushing 400-450 HP with no power adders he says: "it's all motor" .. I walk in to the group and listen..
He then goes on to say his motor is "built" to get this HP with Cams, Port and Polish and finished with a good tune... I then ask him what else he did.. He then say's he doesn't know the details but a cousin did the work and assured him that it's over the 400 HP mark without a Dyno run or anything...
And then get this, he tried to pawn off all other questions to his girlfriend who is the "expert" on the car when paired up with the cousin who did the work in his garage at home.. She goes on babbling about cutting up the exhaust and buying mats on EBAY..
Then, to remove all doubt as to their ignorance, as I'm leaving they say "Your exhaust sounds quiet" compared to thier cobra.. (We both have the same MagnaFlow cat back) So they start up their car and give it a rev.
Everyone in the crowd looks at them with a "u got nothing" stare as they revved the engine.. It was so obvious that It still had the Cats and all... And then I noticed how I didn't even see any engine roll from his "special" racing Cams while the hood was open and her revving it ... total BS
The only mod visible to anyone in the engine bay was a homemade CAI. I could even see that there weren't headers on this "450 HP" car..
The BS was flowing last night..
