Default 3V vs 2V

So me and my buddies were cruising in my friend's Mustang (mods: cai, throttle body, h-pipe, cat-back, shifter and dr's.) and we stopped at the gas station for a soda and we were looking for someone to run and comes in an 06ish white GT Mustang with a Roush(?) wing. My buddy starts his car and the guy outta the white car says sounds good he says thanks and asks to go run he's like sure and his friends were like whats done so I just say the typical "intake and exhaust" and his friend is like nah it's a waste of gas. Then the owner goes nah I'll run you and pops the hood(mods:Roush cai, throttle body headers X-Pipe shifter 3:73's) so we decide on a 40 roll.

Race #1(40 roll) three honks dead even till 100 06 pulls slightly(3/4 car) then let off at 135.

Race#2(40 roll) we start pulling around 100 my friend was shifting much better? Lol "Ju1ce mod" idk something happened and we won by a bumper.

We just so happen to catch a red light together

Race #3(dig)we instantly pull, by about 100 we had 3-3 1/2 cars.


Another red light
Race #4(dig) same result then he exited off.

Nice kill, 3V needs a driver mod! Good driving in the 2V though. With the right mods they can be not as bad as people make them out to be!

Yeah his friend was making fun of his shifting and I could see the car dip and come back up in between shifts lol. And yeah I'm shocked on how quick it really is.

Yes it was in town lol, and the 2V is extremely loud, it's all black with no spoiler. And it was on 364 and 94.

It is like seeing big foot, a yeti, and a unicorn all at the same time

However, a bolt on 2V is still good enough to beat Mystic's beast

With a built bottom-end and a serious blower setup, 2-valves can be nasty. Ask me how I know.
