you need to look up more often... because this one CLEARLY went WAY over your head....

he's had the "racecar" image.... now he's looking for a sleeper look

But i think he was referring to the blue stickered car as a "sleeper"..

So his old car made 800hp with a GT40 intake?

Thats what I thought.

the 'sleeper' reference was pure sarcasm. not only could you tell the car was fast but you could hear the supercharger sucking air a block away. don't know how many times i had someone tell me i had a vacuum leak when it was just the supercharger. 800hp was at the flywheel. was actually a little lower though. something like 776hp. previous owner had the dyno chart backing it up. car was absolutely horrid to drive unless you were doing 60+ mph. tried taking my wife for a spin in it once....she didn't even make it 2 blocks and wanted out. once you opened her up though it was a blast to drive. to be honest....it was way too much for me. i like going fast, but 140mph with nothing more than a seat belt is stretching the limits for me. i ended up having a major surgery and the wife promised if i sold the car to pay off the medical bills i could get another stang in the future. i might just use this car to take her up on that. funny thing though....two retired guys pushing 70 yrs. old bought my old '88. they've been best friends forever and their lifelong dream was to drag race as a team.
