spz340, I dont get it, why is everyone bashing you. If you dont have anything nice to say please keep it to yourself. This guy would like to sell his car, an A body and in my book he is one of us. Dont start the moparts deal here, where all threads turn into a bashing. By the way I have seen some really mild cars run REAL well, so anything is possible. Just cause your car has a million dollars in it and doesn't run as well doesn't mean it doesn't. I am sure he will prove his performance claims to a serious buyer. Cool it you guys this forum is supposed to be a friendly place where we come to relax and enjoy sharing our cars. Lets keep it that way.

I was seriously looking into buying his car, but the performance claims didn't add up. I politely and respectfully asked him to provide some proof, and haven't seen it yet. As a potential buyer of his car, don't I have a right to know if his car really is what he says it is?

In my book a 6.44 is a low 10 or high 9. I've seen alot of 440 combos and that kind of number takes some serious pieces. So either he's an amazing tuner, or he's full of it - I'd like to know which. A few things clue me in to the possibility of the latter - the tiny air cleaner, the traction bars, and the 40 year old TM7 intake - not that the TM7 isn't a good intake...it's just not THAT good. Bottom line is this - If he's full of it, then he's misrepresenting his car for sale on this forum, which is not ok.

PS - calling out BS should never be discouraged, frowned upon, or criticized.
