Default New vs Old "Take 2"

longer stretch and daytime

As we left to make a right onto the main road, a CHP rolled up; stopped in the middle of the road. He sat there for a second, then got on his PA and said, stop messin around lol. Close call for sure

one is a 2nd gear pull, and then a 3rd gear pull

Very nice kill!!! You need to tell him to stay in it longer. See if the 6.2 can stretch its legs once it's wound up.

We'll we went to have a beer and some mexican food at my friends restaurant. My buddie asked us both.... "Whos car is faster?" of course we both said mine. and then my buddie with the V went, you know what. Let's go down the road on that open stretch. Your not gonna beat me.

We raced and then had to dip through some side streets just in case the chippy was following us. I get a text saying, ok ok, your car is faster. haha

But I do wana do a freeway run. bad

I appreciate the videos, But like others have said.. Its hard to tell which is really the faster car. Basic common sense tells me you have power and weight advantage but I would like to see a nice 40-130 and 60-130.

Yeah, a 60-130+ would be where its at, specifically since 60 is spot on for 4k in 3rd. lol

The newer V will start to creep back up top as long as the driver can shift. Really it's all about the driver past 4th. The first gen hits a wall around 120 or so where the bigger motor and blower Can keep the pull going

The one and only Bob marley

Yes. The radar detector is old, but it's saved me many many times and still does what it's supposed to do. No need to buy a diff one

Um. I dunno? What's wrong with my horn?

Touche sir... touche. I also found my track time improves on a non WOT shift from 1-2, but I still shift noticeably faster. Your shift reminds me of what it was like to not have a short throw.
