Default Got a V finally.....

Been a member on here for awhile now but have had F-bodys mostly. But I finally got my V after 2 years of looking for the right one. Bought it banged up a lil bit. A few months of work and here it is.. Yay Still have some lil things to do. Need 2 black center caps yet. Tint the fogs and headlights. Have the windows tinted and find a nice catback. O, and some nice springs with MM spacers. But snow will be flying here soon so i might just hold off. HATE SNOW

Axles are just about it, none of the other fixes seem to do what you need them to. looks good BTW, i dont know how you dont get pulled over for those tail lights though, just dont look safe at all to me.

Stiffer cradle bushings will help with wheel hop too. I have the BMR anti wheel hop kit and stock axles, very rarely do I get hop. I hear the Spectra works cradle bushings are good too, but i don't have first hand experience with them.

Take a look at the Houston V meet thread, on the 3rd page there is a video of me doing a burnout I have the silver V. I was on BFG drag radials at 20psi, no hop.

Congrats. Tinted windows and clear fogs will go a long way, but looks really good.
