[Shotimes] Hidden mods on used SHOs Was: Published SHO ATX 0-60 times?

[Neno]

Maybe the previous owner pulled off certain parts that were easy/obvious
mods that might've impacted resale/trade-in value. This is very common. For
example, a CAI would easily be removed and lesson the "modified" stance
under the hood. Also, private buyers sometimes see aftermarket performance
enhancers to be an indication of "abused" cars.

Another question for you Jason, what exactly do you mean by "headers"? OEM
manifolds? Perhaps they ported them or something and had them sprayed/powder
coated?  A 6.6 0-60 slip would be an accomplishment, let alone a 6.2 pass.
Ever take it to the track? Have you driven other ATXs and noticed a
difference? Most importantly, where did you get your 0-60 #'s from? Just
curious...

Jason:
 Couple of things kinda don't make sense? Your car had a aftermarket Y-pipe
and cat back exhaust installed and a chip but still had the stock silencer
and filter setup? Most often the silencer is pulled the first thing!
Just wondering.
