I have owned the car since 2013. I built it (98%) and tune it 100%. It's been in my possession since early 2012. It's in full street trim other than the removal of AC, AWS, emissions and cruise control. Currently only has a downpipe until someone can build me a 4" exhaust. I would like to see it get into the 9's eventually in the same trim w/slicks which has been difficult to do with the stock drivetrain. It has the full leather interior, sunroof, radio, heat. It is not a race car by any means...I do drive this car frequently on the street. It made over 700awhp back in 2014. Some minor changes have been done since then. It made 790awhp on the old setup with some issues that were later resolved in 2020.
Quickest time to date is 11.25@130mph on the old setup on wastegate boost. Car also went 139mph in a higher boost setting but shifting and traction was a problem. I have to run it on street radials because it breaks EVERY SINGLE TIME I launch it on slicks. It can go faster once the drivetrain issues are sorted out . As mentioned, it breaks drivetrain parts a lot. 600+ torque + heavy car + glass trans = bad combo. It weighs 3380lbs with a half tank of gas and me in it.
The car has a new setup since late 2020 (going for more power) but has not been to the track or on the dyno yet. I recently broke the 5 speed trans for the 1,983,945th time! :( I may do an auto swap or Dogbox in the future? Who knows...but it's my Bad lil Bish! Thanks for checking it out and leave comments.
