shock!!! in latest hot 4's mag

Post by maggsy »

i was just flicking through the hot 4's mag last night and came accross a pic of an FTO on a dyno.

the caption says, '52kw atw from an fto', i was shocked at how low this was

anyone else see this and what are your thoughts? it's on pg 173

my thought's are "HOT 4's are clowns" and "that FTO needs more stickers"
