Default Managed to put the V in the 10's yesterday

Took advantage of some good Fall air (583 ft. DA) and a sticky track. Made two runs and managed a pair of 10 second timeslips:

Nice runs. What mods does your V2 have? I am assuming the usual boltons. I have debated selling my V1 and picking up a V2. No car payments is nice though. Not to mention the resale value on them is solid as a rock right now.

LOL. Yea, if I don't finish the Cobra soon, the Caddy's gonna pass it. I better not see you for a set of ported heads for the "V" or the Cobra might be up for sale.

He has DSS "1000hp" half-shafts in that car. I guess his ~650 rwhp was too much for them since he broke one. He's was planning to get on the phone with DSS today about replacing it.

No, the shutdown area goes uphill. It's a bit of an optical illusion.
