Trying to find a color break down now just out of curiosity
Found it:
Total 2008 Production 459 Units – Colors add up to 455
Total 2008 WD0 Platform Containment 15 Units
Total 2008 WD1 Pilot Vehicle 36 Units
Total 2008 ZR6 Show Vehicle 32 Units

So out of 459, only 139 are the same exterior color and only 59 of the 459 with the same interior. Now if only I could find out how many platinum with the lt gray/ebony interior
13.7 @ 99.7 was the best I could get put of it today. Having never raced I didn’t think it was too bad. Was fun, and I picked up almost half a second in the 4 runs I got it. Fun time for sure though, I see myself going out quite a bit this year and trying to get down into the 12s
was there alot of tire spin?
I think you’re letting off early-aren’t these supposed to run like 110MPH?
Na, I dont think so. I am having some traction issues, I need to find the right combo of traction control and shifting mode. For some reason my car seems to flatten out in 3rd. Ive been told tuning the transmissions on these cars makes a world of difference
Damn… Spirit would’ve raped this thing
Hopes and dreams now son!
my $3000 Audi will still probably be a good match haha
Hahaha when I learn how to drive the damn thing should trim off a bit of time!
Oh yeah, and putting a full tank of gas in it right before going probably wasnt the smartest plan!
we will have to line them up at some point. Car looks amazing though, I think I’ve seen you around Troy
Yeah, I work on oakwood. I love the car. It could run 18’s and Id still love it. So damn comfortable.
I heard plenty of “does your dad know you took his car to the track” comments today haha
well…does he?
lol
Haven’t seen him in about 20 years and he’s dead, do I’m gonna go with [no] Haha
Here you go…only about 1,000 miles away LOL
I know too late.
I like this vehicle and it does look good
Yeah, that’s a great low mileage car for sale. Reserve is also 15k more then I dropped. If I wanted to buy a mint, low mileage car and leave it in the driveway that would have been it. But I bought something I wouldn’t feel bad beating the shit out of day in and day out!
Always been a fan of the Vs.
Something is def wrong with this only trapping 99 IMO. What do the mags/forums say that stock ones normally trap?
Nah, the STS-V traps around 100 in stock form. You’re thinking of the CTS-V with the LSA motor.
