.......You mean these cars will do a buck and a half in a straight line naked?
And those comments shed yet more light on the preposterous claim of a 2.4S motor (185hp, give or take, going a speed much higher, where the gains need exponentially more power,...with the top off.

Agian, it's simple. He claimed a "Correct S motor" in his car will rev repeatedly over 8500 RPM, and exceed 165MPH...

He didn't claim it would go an "Indicated" 165, or a "towed to an indicated 165" or a "Towed to, with a tailwind and down a hill 165"...he said the car can go 165 with a "correct" S motor.

Thats BS, and I have no respect for that when you're making claims like that in an natiaonaly placed ad selling your car. Period.
