it's about 70lbs lighter and has the gt350 intake combo. I'm hoping for a 120 trap next time at the track.

I think Shaun has the limiter at 8200 or something like that. Right now I shift about 7800 or so. Will play with that a little once I get to the track to see what it likes.

On video the V would walk you. Off video, I'm sure that you would claim a win.

Stick to the 13 second cars, kid.
