I came from a 300C-SRT8 with heads/cam; that thing was pretty fast for mild mods. I ran a best of 12.2 at 117 on street tires. As soon as the V2 came out, I knew it was going to be my next car. I have zero regrets and love driving it everyday.

)... all in all,...I love these things... GM did a fantastic job. The V1 is sweet but, the V2,..totally refined, and very, very solid from a mechanical point of view, in every way possible. Both awesome but, very different. ...there ya go.

Good to finally meet you in person the other day Tony, your car looks amazing in person. Great taste in looks of the vehicle. As sick as your car is,..I gotta tell you bro,..the V2,..is nothing short of amazing. I've driven a lot of the worlds exotics and luxary exotics,... this car is right there or better then the majority of them. Just look at this thing,..going 11.50's with 4 doors, with a pulley, airbox, heat exchanger and a tune...and still handles AWESOME at high speed(driven these things on runways )... all in all,...I love these things... GM did a fantastic job. The V1 is sweet but, the V2,..totally refined, and very, very solid from a mechanical point of view, in every way possible. Both awesome but, very different.

As far as the V2, I couldn't agree more. I sat in one a year ago and couldn't be more amazed at the bang for buck realization. I've pictured so many aggressive ways to dress it up that I continue to lean more and more towards getting one. The day that happens you can bet on me leaving it your hands for more awesomeness!

The pleasure was all mine brother. Thanks again for taking the time to go through all my concerns regarding the clutch issues you're going to resolve for me. I hope to have everything together by the end of the month so it won't be much longer.

Aight.
If you feel like it, check that fluid level again for your clutch,...it may be bleeding out... add a little and see if you can make it last before we get the car in here. If its below 70% full,...add more.
Talk to you soon, lemme know if you need any help dawg...my phones always on.

My friend's wife took the vide and I'm waiting on him to email it to me. Should have it soon. I took video with my Go Pro while I let my friend make a run, but the video didn't come out good since there's no zoom. I'll post the slip in a couple minutes.

Damn, 1.88 60'....track was hooking!
We had a 2nd V in here today (pulley/CAI) as a control subject.
Loaded the same tune to this car, and it responded with 540 rwhp/602 ft/lbs!!!!
It has a catback and a different CAI (full 4" inlet throughout) which may be the reason for the improved power (it also showed an extra .5 psi in the logs).
Either way, looks like a stout tune for the Pulley/CAI Vs!!

Man, we're so spoiled in this day for 'easy', although expensive, power! I remember when 400 hp was a challenge to get out of a SBC (pre 86) and 500 hp was insane power. Of course, you can get nutty power out of BBC, but so nice to be able to just add a couple parts and bam! That's cool, although too much $$ for me to get into (for $70k, I could build up what helluva car 
)

)...however, we can all build a 70K car but,...I can assure you, you won't duplicate this car, in every aspect. not in creature comforts,.brute power, thats quiet and liveable...with sheer class and refinement. I'm sure we could build something way faster but, again,..this thing is hard to beat in shear dynamics and useability.

No doubt the V2 is an amazing performance machine all around and not trying to take away from it at all, was just saying for me personally I could build something incredible for that kind of money, but at the same time, it's cool you can buy it now too. Unheard of not too awfully long ago...crazy!
