Hey Mike C... You'll get a kick out of this. I just checked out this guys
page and he removed himself from the Web Ring *and* put your name on the
page as someone who objected to the garbage he's putting out! I think he
took down the stats too as I couldn't find 'em.

The DML -- stamping out fraud and lies to preserve truth, justice and the
American (and Canadian :-) way!!! heeheehee

257 HP out of a 3.9 with almost no mods, right, this sounds like one of
those guys who gets a full 15hp out a a drop in K&N, then ads another
15hp for the converter mod, tires are good for 30hp, speakers 10hp, and
he probably got a few few hps with the driving lights. Also whats up
with that 5-speed automatic with overdrive?
