He makes some pretty big claims.

You're darn right he does! MPH and ET look proportionate though. Looks like the pic was taken out behind Hubcaps Unlimited on Howell Ave.

With a car supposedly that fast, someone around will have heard of him if it's legit.

Not that it has any bearing...but I thought the limit for personalizes plates was 7 characters, spaces included.

Unless if its stealth, I dont see a roll cage in that car.
If theres no cage, at what track did he do his 1 run

Yeah I'm going to have to go and call bs on this one. What track will let you run anywhere close to an 8 without a cage? Intercooler? Doesn't 150+ mph require a chute?

we all know that isn't legit. cars running that fast really got to start looking into adjustable suspension pieces, and KYB shocks ain't gonna cut it. look at what the REAL racers are running, QA1, Strange, AFCO double adjustables. no cage is just the easy one to laugh at him for. T-series turbo. **** everyone and there mother knows a T(insert number here) turbo.

My guess:

#1 The person who's car domain account it is, doesn't even own that car.

#2 The person who's car domain account it is, is no older than 16.

#3 The car itself is stock, with the exception of a few cosmetics

#4 The car has never been to the track

#5 The 1/4 time was devised from a HP Calculator he used with his "proposed mods"

#6 The "never lost a race quote" is because he's never been in one.

#7 "Lost traction on dyno rollers" is something he heard his high school friend say once when discussing a car, so he thought it would sound cool on his car domain page.

EH. Call me cynical.

...and what's with everyone always saying "hot ride man... come check out my xxxx car". :rolleyes:

Ok lets start the BS list...

Bear brakes, cannot fit 15" slicks.

Ford racing parts in motor, will not stand up to 400hp let alone 1000hp.

Ford intake = junk!

Ford racing shorty headers with 2.5" cat back = no way in hell.

I never heard of the car!

I say at best 13.50@97mph :thumbsup

i know the car....the work was done in st. francis.....it is turbo'd w/heads/cam/etc ....no it did not run that time .... they are still working the bugs out of it from what i hear, but that is not a realistic goal.

He meant to put TORNADO instead of turbo.

And 18.91 ET.

Just to clear it up. :banana

My Mustang ran somewhat slower than his supposed 1/4 mile times, and it is a 4 link coilover car on a 10.5W tire, and the only thing that is Ford Motorsports in the whole car is the 9.5" 4 bolt block. As far as the intercooler goes, just because you cannot see one does not mean that it is not there. The one on my car is a air to liquid intercooler, and it is in the front seat where the passenger would normally be.
