Default Idiots selling stupid Car Products

I have something really good to tell all you guys. On TV I saw this piece of crap product called the windtunnel thing or some shi% like that. THey did not know nothing about cars, Their was on Corvette owner he was like " I dont really know anything about corvettes, or even cars. BUt( Big enthuisatic but) I was at the track and this guy was like yeah you get a lot of power with these things." :bs :bs :bs
Even more funnier was the "tech" people did a comparision with 2 2L sprite bottle tapped together at the ends with water( Just like kids do) Then he spun it and said this is a simulation of what your car does when it has the wirly windtunnel junk in your intake. :rolleyes: Dumbo dont you mean the air tubes that feed into the air intake from or to the Filter?
I swear their are a lot of idiots selling products that 'Claim" they make power and increase performance. When most of them dont even know how a car works. ;)

People will try to tell you that they feel a seat of the pants difference. I say that is because their seat feels different with less money in the wallet.

You put the sticker in the wrong place. Reomve it and stick it on the back window and it should be good for at least 35 hp. If you want 50 go to a bigger decal. I might be able to supply one for $59.95.

I have on order one of those decals that fits across the entire rear window. I figure this should be good for at least 60hp, plus I will add white racing stripes. I am told this is an extra 15hp. Red was 20hp, but I dont think it would go with the car... LMAO :lol: :lol: :crazy: :rolleyes: :lol:
