Nothing like that. It is a bone stock car. Never really driven hard to my knowledge.

FYI, for everyone's good, there are only two kinds of plug wires made for Honduhs: OEM, and cheap-o. Even the wires that cost twice OEM are cheap crap, and won't stay on the dist cap.

Whether 58 flywheel hp HF beater, or 500 whp streetcar, please run only OEM wires kthx. Best $50 evar spent!!1
