3L svt on Craigslist

[Redlineracer12]

Anyone know who this is? http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/car/329215888.html

He claims his 3L swap (that he didn't do) gained him 60 horsepower. I've decided the seller is full of crap

That would mean his 2.5 would have put out 200bhp? NOT. In his pics, he has the 2.5 intake on a 3L? Painting the front grill looks like crap IMHO.

Straight 3L motors make 200 hp at the flywheel so without forced induction I think it'd be about impossible to make 260.

So do I IF his is actually a 3L it would just have to either be a hybrid with SVT heads, or an Oval port matched to the SVT intakes like mine.

Painting the front grill looks like crap IMHO.

Especially if you paint the mesh. I've seen people paint the trim to make it look decent but why red mesh?

And he has no center caps... on white wheels... definitely not cool.

I believe the wheels are open lugs type wheels. Or whatever you call it. it has center caps, but they dont cover the lug nuts.
