ive never been there lol.
all im saying is from the description and looks of that thing, im finding 140 highly doubtful.
id love to see it had actually happened though!

Paying someone to install parts and bragging about it being fast, is like watching someone bang your wife and being proud to raise their kids.
i do not see where it says it hits 140
Looks like it needs a little TLC. I would take it if it were 800 or so, not 2500. And 140mph? Never. That poor 2.4 would explode.

Looks like he changed the ad to remove the racing transmission and hitting 140. lol
Hits 140 with ease...but the speedo and odometer don't work. lol

according to his profile his "race" transmission is a "strengthened" isuzu... oh dear god why??? the F23 getrag in the 2000+ is the better transmission. i would have spent the money swapping over to it.
The F23 is a weak, knotchy piece of rubbish IMO. I owned an '02 Sunfire so I can attest to that. If you can rebuild an Isuzu transmission with Isuzu internals, it will be better in the end.

Really? Hahn does not have any problems putting 600+hp through his...

I would argue that you can make an Isuzu just as strong as a Getrag, it just takes some parts from older isuzus.
But honestly... if I was building a big power car, I'd probably still use a Getrag, haha

There are plenty people putting over 300whp on their f23 so not sure what you mean by weak? Raven is running a 3.8 turbo with almost 700hp and it has a f23. But I guess thats weak if it will only handle 700hp. Maybe you made more than 700 hp on your car so thats what "its a weak, knotchy piece of rubbish"
Its all in how you drive children. Im sure I could wreck an F23 with a stock engine. Limit the burnouts and hard low speed launches and youre golden.

No you won't. You're in the "Isuzu for life" club, Mister.
