Get a video of the car at idle.
There is plenty of money rolling around here....being near Chicago helps.

In Ballantyne I see Aston Martins, AMG Benz's, E92 M3s, Lambos, Ferrari, Mazeratis, etc. etc. all day long. I even saw a titanium gray ZR1 the other day and I got a boner.

I hate Mooresville because of all the people...do you honestly think I'd go to Charlotte?

But yea, I used to be in Davidson quite often, and now Mooresville is kinda the same way. Lots of fast cars everywhere you look. But not here in Statesville. Our fast cars are older Mustangs and f-bodies. Not Vipers and Benz's. Of course, some of my friends around here have daily drivers that run bottom 6's @ 112+...but they're not in Vipers. :P I didn't say we were slower, just poorer.

So where's my sound clip?

I mean this in the best possible way...but I am amazed that you put the money in the car to get over 700 hp and completely neglected suspension and tires.

Please...please...please, give that car the suspension it deserves.

Hehe I know what you mean. I have a potential client in Statesville so I spent a good bit of time up there, but it's a nice area. There are definitely a bunch of douchebags in the Mooresville / Lake Norman area... but that does seem to correspond to the number of nice cars you see. Funny how that works right?

Should be in the 9s with those control arm upgrades and a slick. How big is the motor, or is it the stock block with forged internals? What kind of cam are you running? 750 hp is pretty crazy!!!!

You should be pulling mid-low 11s with a street tire, easy. Get some good tires and get to the track, I'd love to see where your trap speed is with some sticky tires and 700wheel.

I didn't neglect that factor just ran out of money thats all. I'll have to suspension mods in soon. I've been pricing things.
