I heard the owner of a certain ECSB 4x4 Radix powered Silverado got worried about someones CC maybe beating their personal best and decided to part it out and return it to stock before that happens.....

I hate the one's that say for example that their car will do 150MPH or some ridiculous number in a shitty *** 90's or early 2000 car that would never see that speed falling off the grand canyon. Just a few of the cars to speak are 90's Honda Civics, 90's ford Taurus and so on.. I always ask them what do you have done to it and they either say its stock or cold air intake and muffler. I just say you would have to get the speed limiter removed to even get over 100 -110 mph or so and just walk away.

Actually, the older civics (dx 5 speeds) would do 140 with a filter and exhaust. Most small cars are speed limited to 115 to 125mph. The 99/00 civic SI is governed at 135mph and would easily do it. Granted most or simply retarded idiots just running off at the mouth.LOL I always love the ones that claim outrageous power increases with a cold air intake or flowmaster muffler. I chuckle to myself everytime I hear " its got a chipped 327".
The Ford Taurus 90's models do like 105-110 depending on the year, and I was talking mainly base model cars not the taurus "SHO" for example.

Back in the high school days (2000) I had a '71 Dodge Challenger R/T with a 440, M1, the 484/484 Purple Shaft, 4 gear, and 4.56s. Another guy had a Daddy's Little Princess Special Mustang with the mighty 3.8. He claimed even though it wasn't a GT, it was the fastest thing he'd ever seen. It'd totally beat my Challenger. He was always hammered though, and I never felt like shutting him up. He also said his mom's 88ish Chevy Celebrity wagon had a Cosworth engine and it was FAST. In addition to that, he let me in on the knowledge that the Stealth TT with the huge wing that'd roll into town sometime had a "Twin V8."
"A twin turbo V6 you mean?"
"Ya, a twin V8!"
Also, the 5 series BMW that was always parked behind the pharmacy had an engine in the front, AND an engine in the back! I have stories for days, but this particular guy was a complete moron.
