I would have held off on headers, I have seen some pretty shitty results for the money from lightly modded V2s.

Otherwise congrats man.

I dont know what V2's you have been looking at, but a few mods = awesome results on these cars. You will of course get the Cadillac tax on a lot of basic boltons, but they respond well to them.

I test drove the automatic v2 and its not exactly what I thought it was.. wayyy too much going on for little old me. Dealer let me floor it, and my v1 could hang with it.. honestly.. not to disrespect the v2 but its just not my cup of tea. Looks good tho congrats.. I just won't spend 50,000 plus dollars for something that can do it in 20,000 plus 10,000 in mods. Just my thoughts.. don't get all upset with me lol. But nice car

just wondering..... are u the debbie downer of the ls1tech forums? I have yet to see anything positive from your posts........ Not trying to be an *******; But this guy is posting new pictures of his new V which stock is pretty damn fast for a sedan as we all know, and you tell him to hold back on his mods...... Flame me alll U want, but the V2 is an amazing machine....
