In fact it is the complete opposite here in Jersey. A terminator owner will claim 550 hp all the while really making over 700. So now the running joke around my circle is 12lbs of boost 476 hp lol. Gotta love the tri state....

:lol: That's so true. Here we lie and claim its underpowered to play rope a dope. :beer:

Funny you mentioned. I have noticed a TR cobra 4x4 status with just exhaust by my grandmother's house. Just this past Fri I seen a bunch of Ford's parked and I pull in to check it out. Turns out they had a lil meet and greet, cool ppl.....and then I see it!

I walk over to it, the 4x4 terminator I had been seeing around. I walked up to the car to make friendly talk since I also own a TR only to have a smart remark thrown at me when I asked about he's car. When I asked what he had done to he's car he replied with more you can afford bud.

I started laughing and he opened he's hood to show me he's 600hp stock shroud eaton. I just turned and walked away.

I wonder what makes this guys lie about their cars. but ohwell made for a good laugh:beer:

I'm running a stock eaton while piggy backing a stage VIV ported one with a 2.2 upper and 7.5 pound lower, that I tuned myself for recycled vegetable oil. It makes just under 1000 HP and 2300 RWTQ and smells like French fries when I do burnouts.... What's the problem?

Kind of like those stupid GT guys who have a chrome intake tube and flowmasters and there car makes 400 horsepower. Stupidity is everywhere, and unfortunately for every intelligent car owner there's 10 dumb ones. We're just outnumbered.

Guess I am the exception. I clearly admit I am uneducated when it comes to cars

Two years ago I had never heard the terms like catback, input shaft, maf etc.... I never owned a performance car or took auto shop. Guess I was a nerd.

Two years later and having spent more time studying this than I did in all of schooling combined I have a working understanding of my two mustangs.

I do know my 2.76 pulley car on 93 octane made 452 rwhp 475 torque (not 650).

As the prices come down the amount of morons owning them goes up. I prefer to listen to their whole story, all the while s*it eating grin smiling at them acting like I believe every word they say. Then I say, "lets run them" and watch them back down with the typical retarded excuses.
