And I'm loving it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I was getting bored w/my ST3500 (too used to it) and since my trans went out on me I decided i wanted to try out a different verter.

I got a Vigilante 3600 and it's great! Definetly harder on my street tires than my Yank. Seems to stay up at higher RPMs more which is annoying (when trying to be quiet while passing the police station) but other than that it feels good. I can't wait to test it out at the track!

 

Damn.. now I got some competition <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

 

congrats man.. u should love it on the track <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

 

Congrats on the new purchase Mike. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

What are you going to do with the Yank?

Most likely a problem due to the fact that my trans was one of the first built.

Did Tom break it down or did the trans guy come up from KY to look at it? I'm just wondering cause as you know I have that trans and I'm always over concerned about stuff breaking <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Just wondering if they figured out why the stator broke? Did you upgrade to the Extreme version?

The tranny guy was up from KY this past weekend.

 

I’m wondering if I should move up to the Extreme. If anything breaks, I certainly plan to.

So did the trans guy have any guess as to what happened?

 

Horist were there any warning signs? Or just failure out of nowhere?

Gave the car WOT, it downshifted into 2nd gear and then free revved to rev limiter.

Drove 4 miles home and parked it till last friday. Drove it to work and then to the shop, had to play w/the gas to get it to shift

 

So hows that Vig. inefficiency? Must be terrible compared to the MIGHTY YANK huh? You`ll probably lose at least 10 MPH!!

dunno.. haven't raced it yet. It definetly holds the higher RPMs longer... 1-2 and 2-3 all sound the same at parth throttle <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Though I'm guessing I will loose some top end but will make up for it down low....

hows the difference feel on the expressway? somethings i feel like mine could put a little more power out- but the front end does lift and throws you back into the seat when you nail it at that speed <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
