Do you know if that old lady that you originally bought the car from was the original owner of the car? Couldn't she have gotten it from her son or something? Just throwing ideas out there. I think you need to have your car dynoed.

What rpm's are you spinning at 70mph?

Factory Freaks do not exist. End of story.

Beating faster cars means you out drove them in a slower car.

You might as well stop looking into it.

Factory Freaks do *not* exist. Just like Bigfoot. Only the delusional believe they exist.
