Default Find the missing 200hp!

So, trolling ebay for Stang stuff I stumble across this thing with even sh!ttier looking fog lights than the ones that came on mine so I figured I'd give it a read. The guy is claiming he "thinks" it has over 400hp. WTF. Take a look at the list of mods, I'm curious where the extra ponies are coming from. Maybe it's the "Herst" shifter. It's either that or the Sears DieHard battery. Man some people, sorry if it's someone here, but come on, be honest or if you don't know say so don't just start making **** up.

Please use the link feature. Ebay links make the page suck

Hey, would it be bad to create a couple different ebay accounts and run the bidding up to like $30k?

For his car? or for something that you are selling? If I am selling something and am not happy with the price I just have one of my friends bid on it for me. If you pid 30K on his car than they are going to want you to pay and close your account... and possibly find out. i wouldnt risk it.

Yeah on his car for posting that stuff. I wouldn't do that, but it's fun to consider. I'd just hate to see some naive kid roll in there believing all the BS he's spewing and then get screwed out of his hard earned money only to find out he got a pretty much stock 200hp stang instead of a 400 hp monster. I guess if that happens shame on the person for not knowing better, but damn ya know?

Hopefully whoever buys it will be smart enough. Is it possible to leave questions on an ebay auction for the public to see...

Could say something like "How do you come to estimate 400hp? What you have on there would barely raise it over the stock 225hp."
