i watched a young kid drive my car away. he bought it. i hated to sell it but needed too for financial reasons. it made me sick to my stomach to know he will wrap it around a tree in the future. i need to start drinking.:pol:

it did 509/487 on a stingy dyno . these are honest numbers. belts off it made 541/507. it had about 20-30 rwhp/rwt left with porting of the fast and a 4in cai. the guy was probally about 19 or 20. i had toyed with the idea of adding a 100 shot, but never got around to it.

At that age he'll be fine, hell I bought my Cobra at 19 and it made over 500rwhp before I even turned 20. By my 21st it was over 600rwhp and 700rwtq, if he's got any brain cells he'll be alright.

ive had my camaro since i was 13 and my TA since i was 15, those are the only 2 ill probably hold on to as long as i can, the worst was when i sold my TBSS, i drove it to dallas for the guy, he didnt even test drive it and said yea its "pimp" and drove off in it.

i do not know why some tuners do that. must be to pump up the numbers. i told the guy to post the real numbers as it sits. that is the only thing i am instrested in.

he told me his previous cars were an r32 which he modded up and a 06 ctvs. he said he thought the other 2 were fast until he drove the gto. lol

if he's had a ctsv he should be fine. he at least will understand the principals of it and the risks. and the experience helps. sorry ya had to let go of such a monster, but now you can set your sights higher
