What happened was the Mustang was shipped with a wrong, restrictive air filter and the car dynoed 50 hp less than claimed. C&D wrote an article on it, then Shelby responded and gave them the correct filter and it went "up" 50 hp. Or more precisely, the car dynoed closer to the originally claimed horsepower rating.
That might sound plausible. But its hard to believe that some auto manufacturer of a high performnce car would put on a filter that is so restictive that it is like the engine is sucking air through a pillow. But maybe.

What's ridiculous is that people can't spell ridiculous correctly.

what was this thread about again?
Spelling and bad math. I think there also might be a reference to an air filter or something related to a car....
