That's crazy. Living in Florida that isn't even a comprehensible thought in my mind.

I feel for yall. We've had ice now for 4 days. Just got more snow on top. I've been driving the SRX. No way in hell my V would make it out there. Invos are not good on ice.

I run the sotto zeros in the winter and they grip well, just like the blizzaks. My second season in chicago winter. As long as the front lip clears, I go out.

They've built a few 600+hp V2s. Steve is the owner and a really cool guy. Give him a call and he'll give you a few ideas of what they can do with your car. 817-750-2000 steve@snlperformance.com

x2 on the calling...

Steve and crew are worth the drive. I've looked for other LS powered cars just so I can take stuff to them to be modded.

Best shop I have EVER dealt with. That's 15+ years of BS speed shops ripping me off and half-assing jobs. In hindsight it's just tremendously sad...

SNL is a class act in a sea of aholes...

I had mine tuned in austin by Brian at Reckart performance tuning.
He is a really cool guy and knows what he is talking about. He tunes all the vettes and f bodys in the austin area. he has an in house dyno.
It a dynapack dyno. he doesnt have the hub abdapters for the v's yet but i think i talked him into getting them. Hes worth the drive.
