Default My new daily driver
Looks like this daily driver might turn into another expensive toy but I absolutely love this car. It's a 2012 V Black Diamond, auto, recaros, loaded. First time out it went 12.2 @118 with a 2.1 60ft with an intake and cutouts.

That thing is beautifull man! A cam, headers, good exhaust, pulley upgrade, sticky tires would be a good start!

Thanks guys. Pulley/ported snout/heat exchanger/injectors/tune is in the works. Should be good for a mid/low 11 run. Then I promised myself I would stop there and go back to work on my Fbody.

My last few DDs were bmw's so I really didn't have much interest in mods. This car is a problem. Lol

I have my car, DD, and a beater. Since I bought the beater (98 s10), its all I drive. I'd be so afraid to put a scratch on that car I wouldn't be able to enjoy it.
