It was more of a general community statement. I enjoy watches v1's and v2's goin at it. Yes the v2 is heavier which makes even more awesome that people are doing what they have been with them. Now with all these guys comin out with big number v1's I think it's gunna start to get interesting

I had a thread earlier that was how much power to get into the 10's. Seems everyone said high, like 8-900 rwhp. I think with the right tires clutch and driver it could be done with 700 rwhp. Which one day is where I hope to be with my V and a procharger like Bob's there. Only 346 not 408. Lots more to do before that point though!

I am trying to find a wrecked 2004 that I can auto and solid rear swap for a track car.

It will be done in Baytown, Texas at Royal Purple Raceway this summer; may not be the first.

im jelly that his car hooks 3rd like a champ, mine dose not :-(


as to making a tank a race car.
i built my car to have fun with and still pick up my kids from school in, not at all a race car. it could go alot faster if i didnt care about it being a true street car

My car weighed in at 3970 with 1/2 tank gas.... With me in it 4172... I'm by no means an experienced driver, so with more seat time ill hit 11's for sure... I either get a good launch and bad shifts or vice versa... My car hooks well provided good track prep, so I don't see why these big boys can't hit 10's

runsfromdacops

i made some steps today to go a little faster at the track this year, just ordered my Strange Double Adjustable Coil-Overs which should help get the power down.
im going to see how far i can go on a small tire and the stock IFS before i bite the bullet and do a soild axel and a 4l80e.
the longer i have the car the more willing i am to "make things fit"

I am guessing that will be a couple passes at the track...haha.

That much power from a turbo car, with the V1's driveline issues, a 4L80 and SRA will take you car to a whole new level.

My guess, you will run a high (maybe mid) 10 second pass, with a pretty a shitty (comparable to other turbo LS cars) 60' foot time. With a complete drive line swap, I am betting you would make mid to low 9 second pass.

I could have swore Skydiver once said he ran mid or high 10s but never posted about it because he had misplaced the slip or something along those lines. I fully believe him from what I've seen from his car. I could be mistaken on this, but I remember seeing something like this.

Wont be me! ill retain my manhood. I'd rather drive a 10 sec stick car than a 9 sec auto car. Any goofball can put it in drive, pull into the beams, and push the gas lol Id much rather row my own gears even if i sacrifice a bit of e.t.

I agree, 11's seem very easy. I had a run in with a newer 600cc bike on the way home tonight from a stoplight and the poor guy couldnt pull away from me for the life of him, even while I had my happy **** turned down to 5psi till I get my fuel system squared away. And I know it doesnt take much to get a 600cc bike well into the 11's... We'll see though I guess as far as weight goes, My car weighed 3990 with me (175lb) and a half tank after my 13.40 pass (lol) back when it was bone stock, all the way down to the paper filter. that was on street tires with a 1.91 60'. I know V2 owners that say a V2 will weigh in around 4500 on the scales.
