My buddy is looking for an F-body, and he came across this one. I've never heard of anything like this, it just screams BS. I'm pretty sure this guy is just trying to make his car a lot more special than it is, but is there any truth at all to his claims? Thanks for the help guys!

That guy is a dummy, but would make a great salesmen to poor unsuspecting people.

Haha alright i believe (correct me if im wrong) but all 4th gen camaros were built in canada...adding an intake and whatever else he said wont get it up to that much horsepower. It wasn't modified by slp, or anything of the sort. The only way that car could beat a corvette is if the corvette's driver was an idiot. I wouldn't go for it especially with that kind of mileage you can do better

His ad should be in the fiction section at Border's. Because that's what it is, a story of pure fiction.

Aside from all the other utter horseshit this guy is saying, but 430 HP from a STOCK LT1?! He must be smoking some of the local product.

The worst part of it though is someone who doesn't know any better might actually fall for it.
