WTf?? (stange FC on ebay)

Just browsing and saw this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1856680003

It looks to be pretty much an automatic SE with headers and some Nitrous. It goes on to say that the car ran a 9 second 1/4, but with a 0-60 time of only 6.4 seconds? Also top speed of 184?? Is there somethin I'm missing (such as a big block under the hood), or is this a bunch of BS?

a 0-60 of 6.4 is a 1/8mi time in the 9-sec range. If it did 9s in the 1/4mi then if would only take about 2-3 seconds to get to 60.

184 top speed? Yeah, maybe kilometers an hour...

Don't forget to route the air pump into the intake and cut a hole in the floor so you can push the gas pedal down more!

What the hell is that cartoon of a new celica doing in there? Someone should report him to ebay because he is attempting fraud.

Oh and 0-60 in 6.47 seconds...then he goes 60-187 in 3 seconds? 127mph increase in 3 seconds?

hell yeah, it would prolly be about the same as the ride in the TT vette (cant spell the damn name lol) The guy was describing the 0-60 (1.97 right?) as "feeling like I got hit by a cement truck from behind" now thats what I call a launch

"the car has simular specs of a 1991 pourche 911"
Yeah, but does his pourche have a rocking chair and a swing?

"(car wheelies in second gear at 4,000rpm) "
Having your car raised up on jacks with it in gear DOESN'T COUNT!

"(Neon Blue under car kit) (neon blue batman alarm sensor)no alarm"
Figures.


"(ngk performance ported spark plugs) "
Can someone please point me to a how-to to port my spark plugs? I hear it adds mad p0wha!


"(this car is being sold because i bought a 1993 rx7 twin turbo with a blown engine and i need the garage space for my next project)"
That poor, poor 3rd gen...
