My Would Be Nemesis

This bad boy was in service the other day, the plate reads MR BUD & the bracket is Budweiser King Of Beers. As for the car itself it was lowered 1" in the front, black wheels (Looked like Foose), Volant intake , custom chip, full stainless exhaust (7lbs I was told), etc. For a grand total of around 625 ponies. (All according to the service advisor)

I'd guesstimate 380-400hp at the wheels with those mods. Service advisors are so gullible....

I didn't even get the "nemesis" remark until I looked at your name. Funny.

It's still a V, stock is 400hp on the LS2 & this was a '06. What would that make it then? Just curious.

400 is stock at the crank rather than the wheels. I would guess his mods would make far < 50 hp extra in total.

maybe 50 at best.....close to 365 at the wheels...

Budweiser > Pabst

Therefore I believe the guy. 625 ponies sounds about right for a CAI, exhaust and............a chip?

Chip? Frito Lay or Herrs?

Gobels and Altes! God's gift to beers. When I was a 16 years old it was $7.99 for a 24pack in Michigan. Never a shortage of willing buyers to keep us punks lit.

As for the HP claim -

I almost forgot Wiedemann's! Another fine beer for $8 bucks a case.

No takebacks. I am a huge fan of bud. Been drinking it since I was 17. I even have the label memorized to this day.

"This is the famous Budweiser beer. We know of no beer produced by any other brewery which costs so much to brew and age. Our exclusive beechwood aging poduces a taste, a smoothness and a drinkability you will find in no other beer at any price".

There, take that Pabstboy
