Default Puppy kicked 06? STS-V (vid)
He came up to me and wanted to run. This was a 75 roll (per STS owner). Good sport about everything though. Gave me props on my little 2v. Maybe it will motivate him to get some go fast parts soon!

Not much made for the sts-v besides little things like an intake.. I don't even think anyone makes an exhaust honestly

They are nice looking cars, but thats about the end of it. They are just turds. Like punishment said the aftermarket is practically non existant. Itd be a cool LSA swap candidate though.

2nd that... LSA swap and rematch! I don't think the STS-V's have rear-end issues like first Gen CTS-V's?

cooler weather will help him more than you. but good runs! all the old 2v rustangs around here are basic boltons and giant 315 or whatever tires in the back lol. looks nice but slow as hell. i don't think there is one here that has any serious mods

I was thinking the same lol. I've already had it out on a cooler (65-70*) night and its a crazy difference. Same story when I had the Vortech on it.
