when i head down to the 1/8th mile track seeing the car on the other lane launch on 2 wheels is not cool although i did beat one but that is becasue he broke down after the sixty foot
ehhhh i dont really believe in a factory freak. My car seemed faster than my buddies old 99 GT though. just cause i could actually squeal my tires when i hit the gas and he never could and he had stock tires and suspension. But i think its cause his motor had over 100,000 miles on it and he bought it used so that was probably a good chunk of it. oh and we had all the same mods just different brands but i had one more small thing than him my borla sticker under the hood. that could have been teh determining factor.
sure, thats good for a few hp, but not enough to make a noticeable difference. proof is good to prove any point of course, but i would trust many dyno graphs on the net 'claiming' to be stock and putting down gobs of power.
Mine has 110,000 miles on it an it will still roast the tires with fatter tires on the back. Who knows maybe it's the flowmaster stickers!!!
Factory freak might earn you a couple hp over another engine/car. If you build 100 engines, they will all perform in the same ballpark... but nothing you will notice on the street compared to another car. The term "factory freak" probably originated by the guy who offered to tape $100 to the dash if you could pull it off
sometimes i think my car is, i ran a 13.9 with flow masters and k&n, i have an auto vert. a lot of people were suprised.
The correct weather/track prep will result in things like that. It's off for a car like mine to run anything near what it did, especially with so many miles though it seems everything was right during the runs.
