It was not, I promise you. That pic was taken the night after my first three dyno pulls on the spray, numbers were low as I did not have the fuel to support N20. Once I got the fuel to support it I took it back and had it re-dyno'd and got higher HP numbers, but the torque was off, still do not know why. The video that was posted there was of somebody else's car, not mine. I was not even driving that night, if you notice I somehow got my big *** in the back seat of that mustang that was chasing/filming, was not easy nor was it comfortable with no back seat.

Why is it so hard to believe that I did not run the **** out of my car? What is wrong with modding a car and not racing/driving it hard? I have done it with about every F-body that I have owned (and there have been a few). I have nothing better to spend my money on and I enjoy modding cars, big ******* deal.--Tony

I know tony personally and put many hours into that car. Trust me it wasnt ragged the **** out. If you would have seen that car before he got it you wouldnt even recognize it. He never sprayed that car on the street or the track. Actually our close group of friends always gave him hell for having modded his car heads/cam/nitrous and never using it. Every time we tried to get him a race, he wouldnt do it said he spent to much money on the car to **** it up racing some idiot. The other T/A in the pic, now he would have raced you. He didnt care, his car was fast and he would prove it to you. As far as im concerned whoever it was who bought the car got a great deal. Tony wouldnt even drive this car in the rain, hell he wouldnt drive it if there was a 10% chance of rain. We simple greened the entire underside of the car for god sakes just because it was dirty. This car was 99% show, it wasnt driven enough to be ragged out.

Exactly why it was not driven hard....a little common sense goes a long way. How smart do you think it is to drive the **** out of a car that has that many miles and mods? That is just asking for something to blow up, the LS1 is a great motor, better than any damn Ford motor you may have in your ol' car, but no matter how good the motor is, why abuse something when there is no need to?--Tony

No doubt. I'm confident that Tony didnt beat on the car. One of the reasons why I bought it. I felt as though it was taken care of well beyond what is usually expected. Tony and I seem like we both feel the same about cars. I dont rag on cars either. Kind of wish I did so I could "enjoy" it more, but I still like driving it. But this car runs good, as a couple tuning issues IMO, but was still built right and is in great shape. Even tho I waxed it the other day and noticed a few new door dings . wtf. I dont even park by anyone, ever.

if theyre in the quarter panel they could be torque dings, they magically appear on the quarters.

It already had those when I bought it, lol. Every f-body I have owned has had those dents in the quarters. Patrick, you might have to start parking like I did when I drove it, park in the middle of four spots, lol. I promise you you will have no issues with door dents then.--Tony
