I agree, it is NOT 450 w/out FI unless he has a TON of motor work. Call his bluff!

I had cams and some bolt ons...made 332whp and could easily spin 1st and 2nd. Now that i have a Saleen SC making around 470whp, I can't NOT spin 1st, gotta feather 2nd to get it to hook and can spin 3rd from anything over 3500rpms if I so choose.

Not Supercharged. What a tool.

Yeah BS all the way.. My 05 gt had over 450 at the crank and roasted tires.. My current jalopy will tear my tires off but that's what having over 750hp will do...but doesnt matter .. There's always someone faster

From someone that went from a 4.0 to a 5.0... I still **** my pants occasionally. And my car doesn't make 450hp.

You would have felt the difference....maybe even cried a little.

Ask your friend to pop the hood so you can take a look at it. If he doesn't, he's not your friend. Why would a real friend want to keep something like this a secret from you?

He was comparing braking between the heavier GT and his Pony Package V6. I used to have a 2006 V6 and there is a noticable difference in handling. The front/rear weight ratio in the V6 is almost 50/50.

Oh yeah... and his friend is full of crap if he doesnt immediately rattle off in detail any mods he may or may not have done.

So the big *** rotors with the Brembo package don't stop the car any faster?

If the pads cover more surface area and the tires can handle the friction they do.

I told him i had just ordered a borla axle-back for my car and he said he had flowmasters on his...not sure what kind though. And his car is an 07

Ive noticed that my friends v6 has an instant pedal response. Ive got a GT and ive got maybe half an inch of dead space in my brake pedal. Thats with it fully bled.
