Hey Austin, I didn't mean to jump into your sh## for your comment, it's your opinion and you're entitled to it. And you've been right about stuff far more often than I am ...
And, I just re-read the original post, and see where the Nova driver asked for proof, so I retract my comment about why he didn't ask to see a dyno chart.
Haha, when I was 16 I got to drive the family Ford Galaxie, what a boat! Boy, yeah, I thought I was hot shit too. I drove that thing from Fairfield, to Santa Clara & San Francisco and all over N. California, with all my friends piled in. I am lucky I never had an incident. Makes me dread when my kids start to drive. One thing is certain, they WILL have as many opportunities as possible for car control training before they get let loose.
