It says 4.3 twice in the listing and then says 3.4 when it lists off standard equipment. He continues on:

A maroon 1994 body, alloy wheels, ’97 gray cloth and vinyl interior along with the 2000 engine and transmission.
4.3 V6 pace car engine (380-420 hp)
Stage 1 clutch (January)
Amazing acceleration (0-60 in 3 sec)
98k original miles, only 20k on the new engine

[FRENCH_CAMAROV6]

well my car is 'bout about 180-380 hp...


closer look to the add:
Engine: 6 CYLINDER 3.4 LITER

[hawgs]

I have never heard of an F-Body coming with a 420HP 4.3L V6.

I'd call [img]graemlins/bs.gif[/img] until I saw some engine pictures.

What type of freaking moron lists a car and claims 400+HP on ebay and no include any motor pictures. :rolleyes:

[FRENCH_CAMAROV6]

Amazing acceleration (0-60 in 3 sec) is certainly due to High performance platinum spark plugs [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img]


strange:
’97 gray cloth and vinyl interior along with the 2000 engine and transmission.


2000 4.3?

Look for stickers! STICKERS! Those things add 50 HP a piece.

The equipment list you get from ebay has to say 3.4L lol Cuz it only deals with factory equipment listings. If you put a different engine in it you have to list that in your description.

E-bay NOOBs lol

Ok sent email; asked for pictures of teh engine and how he/she came up with 380-420 HP... we'll see if I get an answer. I'll post if I do....

[Ttop34]

Here's the responce I got:

Dear Ttop34,
The pace car engine on this car was actually removed from the first V6 corvette test pace car. As you might know, the pace cars in nascar and pepsi 500 all have V8 engines, but this one was used to test it's power on a corvette. The reason it puts out so much more power is because normal firebirds and camaros come with either 3.4L V6 or 5.2L V8, this engine is a 4.3L V6 which is almost the size of a V8, but because it's a V6, it's cylinders are bigger and along with the platinum performance spark plugs, it puts out a lot more power than normal engines do.
Let me know if you had any other questions and thanks for looking at my auction.

Here is my responce

Dear l1nxs,
I'm sorry but since there is less than a day left on the auction, I don't have enough time to take any more pictures of the car. I came up with the HP when I had a friend of mine who is a mechanic to test the car. I'm sorry I know I should have put this in the discription, but at the time the car was tested it had an after market air intake on it which increases the HP by about 10 - 15 percent. I had to take the air intake out because it was aluminum with plastic lining on the outside and it almost melted by the heat from the engine. Right now it has the firebird's factory air valve which is made of alloy and can stand way more heat than the engine produces.
Thanks for considering my auction,
Jesyka
