LITTLE AND OF COURSE LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE HE HAS AN EXCUSE.....DONT BE SCARED ALL YOUR LIFE BRO....

Re: TO ALL THE MORONS
 

I got no dog in this fight but honestly sir, you can't come on here and post dyno numbers from a chassis dyno and act like he lied to you by saying the motor would make 500 hp ...those are the numbers the engine puts out at the crankshaft...which is what people generally mean when they say "My motor makes XXX HP" There is a lot of factors that could contribute to power loss through the drivetrain.

A 408 with the parts he listed should be able to make 500 hp in my humble opinion.

Here is what he posted he said about the car.....

************Most parts are brand new.... i have not run it at the track yet because I am still tuning the car. there is no reason this car wont go into the low to mid 10s on motor and pretty deep into the 9s on the gas once tuned .************

HMMMMMMMM!!!!

I didn't see low to mid 10s I barely seen 11's

I think the part you are overlooking is the fact that He also told you HE HAD NEVER RAN THE CAR!! Now, unless you believed he had a crystal ball how could he possibly do anything but guess as to what ET it would run? If the parts list on the engine was accurate then he did nothing wrong in predicting the ET....he just was incorrect. I wouldn't have believed low 10's from that list of parts IN THAT HEAVY CAR, I would chalk it up to bench racing /guessing....that isn't a slam on him or the engine. He either exaggerated or guessed wrong but IF that list of parts is correct I don't see where you have any right to complain about the performance..it would be MUCH DIFFERENT if he had TOLD you that the car HAD ALREADY ran those numbers.

JMO on things, but he said he told yoyu 500 hp or slightly more??? 500 HP won't even get a 3500lb car to go low tens.You would need over 600

All I see right now is buyer/trader remorse. But that is My Opinion

x2, I think tod sums it up well. :roll:

The cage actually looks a ton better than the one in the mustang. 11.99 thats funny....it had half the enging last year and went 1/2 a second faster at 118 mph..... the guy tuning it needs to have someone else tune it cause he doesnt know what he is doing.....[/quote]

I'm sorry if you guys feel that I was wrong for posting anything on this forum, and you may think that there is not much of a dif. in a 302 and a 306 in the case of the mustang and there may not be, however I contacted Mr. Tony via e-mail asking him to correct his add on the mustang before I came here. It was more than just the size of the engine that was imbellished on in his add. He simply ignored me and told me to mind my own buisness along with several other choice words he had for me. I only wanted to make sure that the person that bought the mustang knew exactly what they were getting. I have stated several x's that it is a great car and worth every bit of his asking price. Just wanted him to be honest about the car... Thats all... As for the Camaro he stated several x's the car would run 10's or better. Ok he said he had not run the car down the track n thats fine and dandy... I have no problems with the entire deal... He got the better end and that is clear... That is not the reason I came here... I was not trying to start a huge war over all this just wanted him to be clear about the mustang thats all... And in My Opinion he Imbellished quite a bit on the Camaro as well... In My Opinion he knew the car would not run what he said and he knew about all the leaks and so forth as well but thats just My Opinion. We took that chance when we did the deal... And thats just my two cent's worth!!! Thanks for everything guys...

I could be wrong but with that big of a converter and roller cam I think the car could use more gear than a 3.90 especially at 3500lbs. I guess if you are wanting a street car to cruise in that would be ok but I still think it would pick up with more gear. JMO
