I hate people that lie, and to think I blew off an entire 2 hours of my Sunday and they tried to bait and switch on me...man was I pissed, I told the guy to call me if he ever got his shit together...

AHHHHHHHHHHH......welcome to the insanely fast darkside!
Check out svptperformance.com.......you'll learn an assload of stuff about the car.
Like Darrin said....
Predator Tuner - $400
New Pulley - $150
Intake - $200
Exhaust - $500
and you'll be low 12's or high 11's.....then you could add a Kenne Bell or a whipple charger and be in the 10's. The motors on these car are basically race ready....all forged internals with 6 bolt mains....they could easily handle 1000hp all day long.

Nicky, you'll see the pics as soon as the guy calls me back with the right price...I just cant get over how some dealerships will tell you one thing on the phone, you go all the way up there, then they tell you something different. Oh well, if it doesnt work out, then i'll just do something else....

Nicky....that's what I figured, but right now it seems like they are wanting $32k for them still, which is $4k under sticker, but it included $3500 in rebates, so they are only going off $500 from that...who knows

The dealer by my house has 3 04 Coupes left....www.ahford.com. I could have bought an 04 right when they came out for $34.5K out the door....and that was with no incentives......its winter time....the car isn't gonna sell as fast as it would in the spring. Tell them $30K out the door....and to have them call you if they want to make the deal!

No....I'm going to next spring....the SVTOA in my area is having a dyno day in April! As for power #s....the lowest stock numbers I've seen were upper 350s in TQ and HP.....There was one guy on SVTP.com the got 398HP to the wheels....STOCK! Average is is upper 360s to lower 370s. All you really have to do is get a good cat-back and an intake and you'll be at atleast 400 hp. Change the pulley to a 2.93 (14 PSI) and get the predator tuner and you'll be at 440-460 to the wheels!
