Get the PHS on the car and you will know exactly how it left the factory.Tom

Used to be the only way to get 'proof positive' verification of a car modified by Motion Performance was from Joel Rosen himself. You may already know that Joel passed away a while back, and I don't know if anyone else has picked up the torch.
