That's typical of all OEM for tuning and always has been.  They also need something safe enough to load on every car as regardless of being the same car off the dame factory floor, they aren't all the same. 

 

Who's your friend tuning in KC? I may know him.

@mustang_flht, Unbelievable! I also have an American and German sports car. First up is the American all wheel drive that can do 0 to 60 in.. Well.. Actually it can't even do 20, but it is reliable. Forgot the year - got it a long time ago:

And my German sports car. 2016. It will go 60. : )

If you haven't seen "Getaway Driver" on Discovery +, I have a car competing on it...  A 1994 Ford Taurus SHO...  Which, does very, very well.  I even made it onto a clip (guy spraying the champagne).

Catch our car on episodes 6, 7, and 8...  That may have spoiled it a little.  :)


Also, here is video of when I went out to tune the car (nitrous was not used on the TV show):

   Randy,

 

Very reliable, it will even mow on only one 20 Kohler, but slower. They also made a twin 23 Horsepower and a Twin 27 Horsepower Gas although the engines are Generac, not Kohler. I am slowly fixing her up but would really like to run across one of the XXW-5000's that had a Turbocharged 4 cylinder 50 HP Yanmar Diesel, most of those got sold to rich estates and don't have as many hours on them. She runs like a top after I did a little work but I plan to make her nice until I find a 5,000. Going to put twin 27's on her this winter.    :D
