Fun run on the hwy tonight 60 -100ish. He took the jump, I evened it out and seemed to be pulling slightly before he let off. Not sure how he felt about a car that had half the sticker price of his keeping up, but he had a big smile on his face the whole time. 🙂 ---

Probably not, I am in Detroit. But might be in the Buffalo area this weekend. If you see a black V2 with an MI plate that would be me. I know there are a handful of them in Buffalo. With production over 3k a year there will be more than the V1 in the near future. ---

(I don’t see many DBS’s on the road, nor do I think I would fair as well) its funny you mention that i met with a buddy that has a XKR last night we were trying to get a few runs in first pull i jumped way out ahead and seemed to be pulling on him but he signaled me to get off at the next exit… his girlfriend was flipping out screaming at him to stop haha. We are gonna try again this weekend to get out and do some real pulls ill come back with results
