Do you work at Firment?

OP is a ^#%$ mother ^&#$#%@.

Give US normal ppl a bad name. Makes dealers look at us good guys funny when strange things happen to the car.

Im just pissed......dude should never be allowed to own a car, much less the best car out there.

JAG Sarge · 03-31-2014, 03:24 PM

Nothing from the OP yet?

Racing breaks s***, sorry but it happens. If my car weren't my DD, would I race it? Hell yeah (although I wouldn't have gotten a 6

). I've been driving mine like a freaking Grandma b/c it's my DD and has to last for the length of the note! I will take my 70 Stang out to the ol' drag strip though, and if something breaks well then something breaks and I'll fix it when I get around to it.

IMHO, sounds like some racer's/modder's remorse.

We can pile all the wood on the fire we want. He won't be back. We can all go back to our "normal" lives, there's nothing to see here.

The dealer will be able to take a oil sample and have it analyzed and determine if the car was ran on spray. I have seen it done many times and it was cut and dry results with little cost involved.

I worked at a Buick dealer out of high school and you would be amazed at how many Grand National's and T-Type Buicks were brought it with toasted motors from running Nitrous.

I have ran nitrous on numerous cars over the years with 0 issue however you need to know what you are doing and make sure the car is set up for it.

I don't think that's the problem. This is a sports car/muscle car. If they weren't expecting you to race it or be hard on it they wouldn't have given it 426hp.

The problem is when someone buys one of these cars and adds nitrous to it, doesn't take ANY safety precautions and knowingly beats the shit out of it like that, brings the car to the dealer for an "unknown rough idle problem" because a valve is probably been burned up or worse, knowing they went above and beyond what the warranty covers and then expects the dealer to fork out the bill. Its cheating, lying, dishonest.

If this car was 100℅ stock or just simple Bolt on's (no power adders or internal modifications what so ever), and as long as it wasn't tuned you sure as hell should bring it to the dealer if its rough idling or has issues running.

Theirs a big difference. That's like putting a Maggie on the car and blowing a rod through the block and then pulling the blower off and "return it to stock" and letting gm pay the bill for it. I bet a few people have done that, and its wrong and you all know it.

This guy just went above and beyond though by going back and erasing shit he said to "hide his tracks".

I agree with everything you said. i was just meaning to say that i would hate to see a bunch of us start to have issues with dealers all over mods and warranty work....my experience has been good with the dealers i have dealt with they have all been mod friendly. from what i have seen here thats not always the case with others. i just hate to see one moron ruin it for us.

Guys speedy is right, he will not post here agian. He has been on this thread at least three times since it blew up. He has surfed other threads but has not bothered to post as of yet. When he does all eyes will be on him. Surely nobody will be shy about calling him out, right?
