Why not put a solid axle in a V1? Not like its a $50k car anymore... Even at that the "novelty" is gone when you slap twin turbos on it and last time I checked that is badass LOL

lol sure does, like I said any vagina can drop it in drive and push the go pedal 
putting an auto in a stick car = 
ask the people that drive the fastest cars in drag racing 
fastest n/a 1/4 mi drag race cars- 6.40's at 210+ with 5 gears and a man pedal, Judson Massingill fastest N/A LSX camaro 8.01 @ 17x with 5 gears and a man pedal, fastest street car in the country larry larson 6.90's @ 210+ with a man pedal and a manually shifted lenco, NHRA fuel funny car and dragster both have MAN pedals and some have manually shifted 2 speed. IMO autos are for those who cant tune a clutch or not skilled enough to row their own gears, OR dont have the budget to go fast with a real transmission. And if you ask me, especially if you have a "performance" car that sees more street time than track time, and even more so if the car was originally equipped with a manual, yet said car has a slushbox, you might as well turn gay if you are not already

runsfromdacops, if you can hook at the track, I have no doubts you'd run low 10s and even high 9s.
All you would have to do is be ~9.5 to be the fastest V, both V1 and V2, if I recall correctly. At your power level, I'd be focused on traction. I think the power is there.

I don't see the V1 getting into the 9's anytime soon... Mid to high 10s would not surprise me but i'm even having issues thinking that low 10s could happen! If someone made a claim that they ran high 9s or even low 10s I would need proof, ie vids, time slip, witnesses...

i going to give it my best shot. ill have BBG setup by then so that will help alot
we will see have fast it goes with the 6 speed in it and how well the tranny takes the abuse. i am going to put a t56 mag in my car with in the next month or 2 so that will help alittle
for what i use my car for a auto and SRA is the best setup. im just not ready to do all the work it will take to make that happen yet. this coming winter i probably will be
