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.

Jake, I can't disagree with you either. You have made solid points form the get go. This will never be resolved, but I hate to see the fellas that support the claim be called liars (not that I've actually seen that word here). I consider the sources quite reliable. People do make mistakes on their data uptake, that also could have some bearing here. The biggest mistake was, as you said, bragging about it to sell a car.

Well, at least not more than once, anyway, with me in the car.
