Default Automotive misconceptions that drive me nuts

Ok, here are a few misconceptions about cars that drive me NUTS(in no perticular order)

1: the LS-1 is unbeatable
2: a stock muscle car can NEVER be beat by a newer car
3: what's up with "It's got a 3/4 race cam"
4: if you shut down before 150 in a steet race, your forfeiting
5: you can't time a motor with a timing light if it has a cam
6: a stock F-250 will outrun a GT, because the trucks got a 460
7: any 350, 302, exc from the 60's will make 400 hp at the wheels with a cam, edelbrock intake, holley carb, headers, and milled/ported stock heads
8: a huge .590 lift cam in a stock 350 will allow it to out run ANYTHING
9: if a Honda(or other simmilar car) has a wing, body kit, and neon underlighting it's F'in fast, don't mess with it
10: when comparing ford vs chevy. The idiot that always chimes in, well the vette is faster than the GT
11: people who think their stock mid-70's smogger vette, camaro, exc. make 320 hp stock, when it really only makes 190
12: people who take the maximum hp gain the manufacturer says could happen(ie, 30 hp from a K&N), add all their speed parts together and say that's how much hp they are puttin out.

What drives you nuts???
