Default I finally found an honest craigslist ad

I am selling my CLEAN TITLE 1999 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra that I just recently finished fixing. The car was tuned by Greg Monroe at Racers Edge Tuning in Downey and put down 560hp and 487 tq ... I am selling this car because it scares the **** out of me. Its absolutely insane to drive daily. The car has some damage on the rear bumper and the hood could use a repaint. I'd recommend that the new owner install a cage so they don't kill themselves and a trans that can support more power. The car has 109,xxx miles on it. There's over $25,000 worth of upgrades and the build sheet is listed below.
I thought this was funny as hell. At least he's honest about it. Heres the full ad.. pretty nice car.

Nice car but I don't buy the "it's too fast". It's a sales ploy, I'm sure that phrase intrigued a lot of potential buyers. It's not like the throttle on these things is on/off, and he's trying to trade for another performance type car. My guess would be it's a headache, or a rattle box, or just still needs some tweaking.

I don't know about this, seems ridiculous to buy a crate roots blower motor then spend the money to swap it to a centrifugal when guys are making more than that with a ported eaton and more than super scary power lol.

yeah 560 is enough power but for me to be at scary amounts of power I would be pushing a lot more when i say ok I give in this is too much, does this guy need to ask his girlfriend to borrow his ***** too? hahahaha.

well the create motor is just a long block, it does not come with blower and accessory's
and i would assume that he either already had that blower or had bought it cheap used since centrifugals are a dime a dozen for mustangs
also most ported eatons dont make more then 525 ish let alone 550 +
i would imagine you would have to push some scary amount of boost to get those #
but i do agree 560 is definitely not a scary amount of power especially with a heavy car and a centrifugal
if it had a twin screw (whipple, kb) it could be a different story

Come on guys, I just posted it because I got a laugh out of what he wrote, I could give a crap less if its a lot of power or not.

It does happen with a ported Eaton, only issue is they heat up super quick and well they are not that efficient. I do see though the crate motor not having accessories.

This was pretty funny I did get a kick out of it, just wondering some of his choices for words lol.
