Default Been a long time

...but i miss the hell out of my V. A good friend of mine has an 08 or 09 whichever the new model is and that thing is just awesome. Cant imagine what one with shift kit/converter, full exhaust, pullies, drag radials and a small shot would run! Either way just figured id drop in and say hi

Pretty good so far, went 10.30 consistently with a small blower. Currently switching the car to some twins to see how it runs. Shooting for 9.80 on pump and sub 9.50 on race gas.

Isn't as comfy or as fun as my V was honestly though, but for what im doing its a much better platform!

Anybody got a link?

EDIT, found it. And the car does 530ish on motor usually. Stock rear end lived fine with me even on bottle as long as your going at least 50mph when you hit it. I'll be looking into a newer model for the auto/better rear or i would be all over this car again

Yep, Its taking some time but the V is starting to get opened up to real power now! The axles are a good bandaid but really cant wait for a cheaper rear fix...
