Strippers, rednecks, and liars make up the bulk of them. Seriously, one owner offered to pose with the car if I bought it - stripper, Morehead City area of NC.
Another, when asked the condition of the interior of the car replied "that it was gutted and hard to determine because I've been using it for my painter truck. Driver seat is there though and the AC works".
And yet another claimed the car had never been wrecked although the carfax showed odometer rollback, some serious accidents, and one of the damn pictures he posted on Craigslist clearly showed left rear quarter damage. He didn't speak a lot of English so there might have been a miscommunication. Persistent guy though and liked to call me after 10pm at night to offer to sell me the car on the cheap, "I meet you tonight in Raleigh".
Dyno time is set for noon on Monday so we'll wind it up and see what its got. Did you ever dyno your 99 stock?

Dyno pull today with a Dynojet, the same one we have been using for all of our race cars.
Any bets on the outcome?
I am guessing 126 rwhp and 182 rwtq. Not sure at what RPMs but it'll be low.

Yes. And on a hotter than hell/stickier than flypaper humid day, if that makes a difference.
The engine was the original, and I remember when I bought the car that its acceleration was anemic compared to previous rentals that I'd driven. The tuners were able to get it up to a respectable 158whp. Now with all the peripheral mods and the like, the replacement engine gets about 195whp.
I think your estimates are in the ballpark.
