Don't want to burst your bubble but a 11.5 is not going to happen with your mods, trust me I know. Trap speed is easy, traction is not, even with drag radials or slicks. But good luck trying

The V2's are sick. If I had originally bought the V1 I ordered, I would be dumping it for a V2. I can't understand why anyone would still keep a V1 unless they left it 100% stock or installed a Madman rear.

has anyone gutted the hell out of a V with mods, or are these 11 second passes still with a/c, leather, heat, seats, sound dead, etc? These cars make impressive power, but are just heavy as hell and are still too expensive to strip.
9's are not far off as soon as the cars get in the low teens. I know there is someone out there with a hell-of a motor that wants to see a 4 door dip down in the 10's or 9's. I am truly surprised that the fastest is still only in the 11's. Got to be the weight and rear end! If you could launch these cars on slicks, most of them would be in the low 12's or high 11's. Wish I had the money to burn, and motivation to impress a few, by dipping into the 10's.

i've done a couple simulation mustang dyno runs, and my trap speed was 122mph,
with clutch slip in 1st gear. the math states that mph is good for low to mid 11's.
hell, the nissan gtr does high 11's at a 117 trap speed just for a perspective pov.

you got a car, go tear off some track runs yourself.
then post the vids. if you're going to request such things,
you must be willing to put your car through the same
treatment, and costly expenses, and the possibilities of
a lengthy down time scenario.
my proving days are done, my word is held in high regard in most
circles. and my word will have to do for now, as my clutch has seen
better days.

Also, do you guys know what kind of rear is in the new V's? Can you launch it with slicks and a tune all day long with nothing to worry about?

Any ideas what a used one may cost in two years with good mileage?
