Default I heard the dumbest thing today at Autozone.

I go to Autozone to get a replacement gatorback belt. One of the guys that works there is standing outside and is admiring my car. So, as i get out and walk up to the store he asks me a few questions. After telling him that it is supercharged car, he says "you should get a K&N CAI kit, that will really wake it up". I just said ok and walked out.

Nobody can top that ignorance.

prolly for the same reason someone would ask you, if you had modded your car already that is, "Is it an Si?" response "Does it f*cking matter???"

how old was he? It seems to me like most people over the age of 40 are stuck on the old 5.0s.

ha ha oops my bad lance i always assumed you were pretty young for some reason. Also all of the people over 40 who have asked me if my car has a 5.0 were not really car people, or they wouldn't even be asking if my 06 had one.

in his defence he could have thought you were a 03/04 cobra, because a CAI kit on those things actually do give some nice gains. . . .

maybe?

yeah try 20 dyno proven ponies... you can't argue with that... (dynojet)
But its more of the idea that the car would feel more of a gain from a tube than from the supercharger LOL (ie 'woken up')

He had no idea. And maybe.... if my car kinda looked like a Cobra, i could have given him the benefit of the doubt.

Heh I went into a random dealership today just looking around, and I was looking at a GT there and the dealer came up to me saying he had a race car cobra coming soon..

I asked him what made it a race car.... and I quote:

"well the cobra in 94 was supposed to have the 4.7 but he had it custom made from the factory to have the 5.0 in it, and its got a cai and nos. Nothin in springfield ( my town ) is going to touch it."

I walked away.
