Default Spins to low 12's in a v6

Well, I'm knocking on the 11's door but due to lack of traction the door won't open.... yet!

HAL QA1 rear 12 way adjustable shocks arrived and light weight battery soon to be added.

Bottles being relocated from rear passenger seat area to trunk area soon.

Come on 11's!

What mods besides nitrous does your car have? I'd love to get my wifes 02 RS running quicker than a stock Z.

James, why don't you just get bigger tires already? Seriously.

Stop messing around and put a damn tire on the car that will hook. Screw high 11's spinning, run mid 11's with traction.

Thats some fast V6 times. Very impressive. How many people don't believe you when they see you run at the track and you tell them it's a V6? Sweet run. When you get in the 11's come back and tell us you are leaving.

I am thinking of getting a V-6 F for daily comute. So what does it take to go 11s with a six? I was thinking of going turbo. But funds will probably fall short. Hell how did you pull 14s N/A?

Sweet man, should be intresting. Some one else hear was looking to get their title changed but it wasnt LT1/LS1 and Tony said in that post it was LS/LT1 only to get the title. Maybe you'll get an exception since your still an F-car.

why have a v6?? I had one for three years, got it as fast as an lt1, but put like $4000 in it. Just get an ls1, and use the money modding it. Took me a while to relize that as well.

Its prety cool to push a plat form. By the same logic why build a 4th gen LS1 or 03 Cobra? The price these cars cost new, you could have easily gone bought a complete certified tube chasis or balk half car, many which with suspension and rear ends all in the cars. Then that would have been needing just a drivetrain, set it up and it would run faster than an LS1 car would. Your total investment wouldnt be much off than if you were to buy an LS1 car new, then pay it off and then build it up. Prolly end up less and you could prolly be a helleva lot faster.

Why have a V8?

Why not start with a V10?

Why start with only 350 ci?

Why not start bigger.

<--- will ALWAYS keep the v6 in it!
