Default 450hp AWD 2011 Fiesta sedan??

My best friend sent me a text along with a pic of a black 2011 Fiesta sedan. He said he talked to the owner of the sedan and the owner claims the car to have 450hp and be all wheel drive. I'm having serious doubts about the guy's claim. Here's a pic of the car.

Cool

Picture of the car means nothing. I think he's a liar. He'd have to have a non-Fiesta engine in there, which means he has a wolf in a Fiesta's clothing.

What? The $10 hood pins at AutoZone don't add the extra 330 hp?!?

I have to agree with everyone's reply. Hell, why not get a Fiberglass body of a cool car instead and put it over a 450 engine and chassis?

I've heard some crazy claims from people before about their cars. Most just have visual mods like wheels or body kits but none of them would open the hood because of either some competition thing or because it has "prototype" parts. I can't believe how many people are so concerned about what people think about them that they blatantly lie about their cars, to the point where the average person would probably consider them a liar! Ken Block's Fiesta is the closest thing to what you mentioned, but once you mod a car that much, it's barely a Fiesta anymore...

I'm not sure where he saw it. My friend lives in Hutchinson but he's a semi driver and drives all over the place. He takes pictures of a lot of cars he sees.

Personally I doubt if the car is modded other than the stickers and hood pins.

OK, here I go again getting myself into trouble. That is exactly why I don't care for NASCAR. They are anything but stock! But the racing and technology that goes into them is awesome. If I make myself not think of them as consumer named cars, I'm OK with it.

Now Formula and Indy cars look fast and exciting even when standing still.
