Pretty sure he never said it was factory stock just how it came. Of course it has a full exhaust/headers under it, doesn't sound stock at all. (As I give my dad hell all the time as his is, they're pretty quite)

And we all know the marketing scheme back in the 60s They WAYYYY over advertised as far as track numbers go, yet claimed to underrate the HP for insurance purposes.

I know on sites like these some guys who've turned a wrench think they know everything. But still the only thing I asked was why do you think its NOT stock. Not sure why you feel the need to throw the claimed numbers of what these cars ran back in the day, or why that matters if this car is stock? Don't recall the old man saying what he ran in his, or how any of that was relevant to this car being stock.
lol, I didn't mean you were a Kid that would just post anything. That's a preface to what I posted next. It was me telling you that I know you can't know my experiences, so I acknowledge that up front. I'm telling you I'm not a kid that just posts anything. And it's baloney that you respect my opinion by the way. That's just some words.

I said I'd rather have your Dad's GTO over my Camaro. If you need to prove something, by all means post some photos to defend your family's honor. But bear in mind that nobody said that the GTO wasn't your Dad's.

So you want to know why I think that GTO is not stock? I answered that already. I thought you "respected my opinion". I posted, yesterday at 8:03 pm, quote:

Those 20 years makes me feel that I can advance an opinion now and again on the subject, without needing to ask permission first.

Just two and a half hours later, you post, quote:

You actually agree with me about it not being stock, but you still challenge me to answer a question that I already answered! This means you didn't bother to read what I posted. So drop the phony "respect" that you think I'm falling for. That's horseshit.

I'm going to assume you were drunk or tired from work or having a bad day or whatever but I want you to know that challenging people for things that didn't happen and for the answers to questions they already gave you is not the way to look reasonable or to have a discussion. I hope you have a better day today but please don't try to fool me again with your so-called 'respect', I've been around the block as many times as a 24 year old but I did that eighteen years ago, ok?
