What a dork Who puts that much into a Colt? I really dig the gold rims though...and the interior is tits!

And the funny thing is they are going to fix it and do it all over again.

If they would have dynoed the car I bet the trans would have blew during one of the pulls. Must have put 250hp worth of stickers on it. 520hp sounds like and all out lie.

Or just weakened it. I've seen things like this in the Subaru world...holding power on a dyno then 1 run on the street causing major catastrophy.

I'm thinking it wasn't the trans that dropped by horsepower...likely from a lack of proper bolts or tightening them.

Or maybe shifting a 520hp motor at 120mph with slicks in a POS economy car might have has something to do with it too

ive seen some pos economy cars do some crazy stuff in the past

i have a friend w/ a vw scirocco that has to be one of the fastest cars ive ever seen go down dear park road in napa.
also actually beat an elise on howell mountin road in angwin once.

btw those older mitsubishi trannys are crap same guy w/ the scirocco had to replace the one in his converted talon once a year
