Very Controversial 1st gen

saw this for sale and thought I would pass it along, as it has been the focus of many a controversial thread here.

i have that wing too beotches. well not mounted on anything right now and its for sale. but its functional, actually provides downforce. i would have made custom mounts out of fiberglass or something as these don't bolt on to the small hatch area very well.

Does anyone else think the rear bumper and possibly taillights look photoshopped?

Yeah... he's always said ~170 at the wheels and 200 at the flywheel LOL!! From a stockport 12A with weber dual.

We arent talking about the wing he has on the car right now btw... he use to have this butt black upside down (seriously) BMW wing on there...

Hehe... I found it!

The dyno in Lexington was exactly; 198.9HP at the flywheel with 154.8 at the wheels. All this getting 185ft lb's torque. It's easily felt through the seat of the pants too. Thats not a normal stock ported 12A, it's got no clutch fan, MSD 6A system, RAm air intake with air box, headers straight back to the RB muffler with no restrictions in between (i.e. no cats or any presilencers to inhibit HP flow). The total without the carbs was dynoed at 155hp at the engine, and after 198.9....no flaming over this,.....if you guys do, it'll just show that you're a bunch of inbred immature idiots, thanks

To anyone who missed the saga the first time around... here's one of the many closed threads on the subject. Enjoy!

I did miss this Saga the first time around..

I do have a question..

Aren't there two Types of Dyno's?

1) one at the flywheel - with the engine out of the car
2) one at the wheels (aka Dynojet)

I am not sure. But after reading the previous thread, I was wondering how he found out he had XXXhp at the flywheel and XXXHp at the wheel.

Is he just calculating what exepects to be driveline loss?

Just wondering.

trust me i didn't buy the wing for looks. it was cheap (200 at the time) and shaped like an actual airfoil. since it was aluminum i didn't need to paint it which would have been more then the wing. if i did use it again i'd make custom fiberglass mounts and fiberglass ends.

Clean car, not my style.

But if I see another pic of this car or Styk33's but, I'm gonna have to hurt someone...

I guess some things never die

Holy ****? A yellow console! Ha thats the first interior pic I've seen of it. Can't wait till he sees this and flames us all again. It hurt my feelings sooooo much before

All that for the low low price of $3000! ****, I was going to ask $2500 for mine if I had to sell it.
