The fact that 4WD is listed as a safety feature

Also that 350bhp is apparently from an exhaust, induction kit, pulleys and remap....from 230bhp!

I'd say 270 topps.

Ha ha ha ha, 350? yeah, righto!! he probably mistyped and means 250bhpsmile

an exhaust, induction and remap on a 3.0 n/a will get you 10-15bhp at best.

Well, I'm sure it's 350bhp.

He's had a custom tune done to accomodate the greatly increased compression ratio from domed pistons, much larger valves, head work, and it's been bored out to close to 4.0L.

Oh wait, it hasn't had any of that done to it and he's lying his ass off.

Clearly deluded, "show car" my ass. That said it doesn't look that bad, I'd change the wheels but each to their own. What's the betting the reserve is five grand or something similarly astronomical?

"One of" what?

I also noticed that the seat is in the classic scally position of far forward (for their diddy legs) and reclined right back. Because that's a driving position you want with 350bhp (apparently) under your right foot.

I've sent them a message asking if they have a rolling road print out to back up the 350 bhp claim.

What's the odds it's going to be a no?

For ~350bhp from the 3.0 straight 6, you'd probably be looking at a supercharger conversion. Not a chance it's done that N/A.

That would be interesting to see (if, like you say, he has one.)

These can be counjoured up by tweaking parameters on the dyno.

I think even 270 is extremely generous!
