Well, as much as i agree a 12.8 is a bit fast for it.....most days I run my car(or previous cars) my first run always seems to be the fastest. I can run 4 more times and only seem to go slower. I think its a mental game you try to change how you do things and make it worse half the time. So going to do it one time for the hell of it, wouldnt suprise me that someone gets a helluva good time.

anything is possible and he has the slip to prove it.

The 12.8 that was run a long time ago was on a car that had only a CAI, headers and DR's IIRC......basically stock and he worked on getting that for quite awhile. Do a search and you might find a thread. It was good driving!

I looked back through the papers i have that the previous owner gave me and even texted him to double check. I knew he said it ran a 12.8 and i had papers on it because i remembered looking at them but after digging it up, it was on the dyno sheet. That 12.8 was what the dyno said the car would run in the 1/4. So... my mistake. He says its never been to the track and was only on the dyno that one time for 2 pulls after he installed the intake and exhaust just to see what difference it made.

Sorry guys. Though im sure it would be very close to that, a 12.8 might be hard to obtain on an actual track since getting out of the hole would be the biggest chore.

IIRC the dude was named Bill, screename was HDMLNIUM, lived in either NH or VT, took V to track every weekend for a month straight and predicted he would get into 12s, did so and then sold the car. That was back in late 2005, damn good driver based on record still standing.

showroom stock 13.2 would be very impresive but believable. no 12's with no mods.

Ehh.... doesnt really matter to me what it runs and ill prob never actually track it to find out. The dyno was prob showing it to be a couple tenths faster than it actually would be but im not worried about it. After owning much faster cars, this one is a cruiser for me though it does have some giddy up which is nice. Might be cool to play around from a roll but im not really interested in doggin it from a dig. Once she looks the way i want and sounds mean with a nice cam... im done with it and it will just be my daily beater... lol

doing a 12.8 with with a k&n cai, mag catback and on 275/40's may be possible.. but not stock.

I agree, still a very good time, as I have not seen a quicker V time without a power adder. With the better axles and the newer gen diff I am sure someone with a few bolt-ons can beat that time.

I would like to see a 12.8 from a bone stock V1. That's only about 1/2 sec off from a average V2 run. No way did a bone stock V1 run a 12.8. Not in the 1/4 anyway.

NeverSatisfied02

Bone stock times arent too far off from that though. Why are people so worried about what these cars run stock anyway? If you want something fast... mod it or buy something else. These cars do good for what they are but they arent drag monsters. Its not like a 13 sec 1/4 is a good time anyway. Yes... its above the average car but nothing worth bragging about. Plenty of other cars will do that or better stock. My 03 cobra ran mid 11's with just pullies, simple basic bolt ons and sticky tires. I realize we are comparing a coupe to sedan (still has a rear seat) but guys that buy these V's and want/expect a 11 or 10 sec 1/4 miles car are smokin crack or have too much money for their own good... lol

So 13.20-13.40-s seem very realistic. I was just wondering...I like to see what people have done bone stock. These cars aren't meant to launch I know that or gm would have put a better diff in them. Slip the clutch just enough to not shock the rear come out on a high 1.9x or low 2.0x and a 12.9x in cool 40-50* air seems doable. A low 13 second status luxury car should be plenty. Put a nice set of ccws and be done with it lol.

I'm not very worried about it, but I would like it to be faster. I wanted a quick great handling stickshift. I needed a family car. For me the car is the best compromise I could find. I'd rather have a C6, but with kids and a wife I need a 4 door. They all love it and would rather take it over my wife's Lincoln LS. Driving is whole new level of fun for me after being stuck in a pickup then Astro van for the last 12 years.

Most gearheads like to push their equipment close to the limit. I guess the best measurement of your/your car's performance is to compare it to others. Most of us aren't Stigs afterall. I don't know how much I'm leaving on the table.

ONEBADCAD is exactly right. I just couldn't remember Bill's screen name

Mostly '09's, maybe a few '10's, don't remember & didn't record that. Off of another forum, at, least mostly. At least 2 peeps have 2 different recordings. All autos except 1. These are all v2's, BTW. HTH

The V is a moderately fast car froma roll, thats where I use the power most. Not many times do i even bother trying to use 1st gear and once i put long tubes and a cam in it within the next month the first two will be useless and add my 100 shot to that and 1-3 on 245 street tires = spin fest. Ill still take it to the strip once or twice but i know already its not a drag car even with axles.

The V2 is a whole new machine! Thats a bad car and most likely doesnt have a shitty rear diff like we do...
