More like a mid 13 second, 250-280hp car.

looks like a nice clean ride, but I dont really think its worth the money. People can now buy a decently modded lt1 for that price with full bolt ons and a cam.

With the mods listed, it's not even touching 320.

Send this to him.

"Hi, I'm interested in the car, but I'd need a dyno and time slip for it before I believe it's over 400hp and an 11s car with only the mods you listed. Thanks"

I figured if I implied that I was interested, he would be more determined to show the slips, IF he even has them

Now mind you, we all know it's not making 400HP and an 11s car unless he has a shitload of NOS. But a mod like that, we know he'd be listing it.

I sent him this "Do you have dyno sheets to prove it's a 400hp car? It appears that it's going to be well shy of that mark by the mods listed." I doubt I'll hear back from him

the car is probably a 400 flywheel hp car. He did state that he has different head gaskets so he may very well have some head work done also.

Got a reply

"I know I have the time slips somewhere, I will check on dyno sheets. I am selling the car for a friend going thru a divorce. The car is at my storage biz with all the paperwork and reciepts for work done etc."

I wish eBay and my Yahoo account weren't all wacky. I don't get PM notices in my email so I tend to forget. Thankfully this thread reminds me.

I'm usually a total dick to people who post misinformation and the like, but I held my tongue.

maybe he forgot to list some mods, low 11's would be a pretty well built H&C car

Or a very well driven one :\

It does say "ect." so who knows.

There's also more info posted (he was taking this from memory):

"The car ran 11.3 @ 119mph with a 1.6 60 foot on street slicks. That puts the car in the 400 whp range with it's curb weight."

So basically, he (or they) are getting the HP rating off the track time, which isn't exactly the best way to go about it since a great driver can result in awesome times for a less powerful car.

First off, if he is selling it for a friend & there are a TON of Qs about the car, why is he playing middle man, just let the potential buyers ask the owner, theres no way that car is putting down 11.3s, even on 1.6 short times, plus he never listed a converter (it does list its an auto), So even with 3.42 gears, do you think 1.6 60fts. are doable? I don't know. Another thing is that MPH 119, Yeah MAYBE on spray & those mods, but not N/A, its a "SNOW JOB" IMO, heck, you can get a time slip anywhere from a buddy that HAS an 11 sec. car, that simple.

Ok, so if indeed that car runs 11.3s @ 119 with those mods & no juice, then alot of us "if not all" are doing something wrong

haha thats a joke. he is only selling it for a 'friend' because he knows those numbers and times are bs and he doesnt want to be held liable for them so he is pawning it off saying someone else told him all that. that car is maybe a high 12 with slicks.
