Im not trying to get into a weight debate. Was just a smart *** comment on my hatred for that cars interior.

Whatever the weight, power or whatever, it was a pretty fun time and it was what it was. Dont think youre ever actually gonna get a "fair" race on the street.
How is it gaudy? Sounds like sour grapes. The 2005-2009 interior has more hard plastic than my '83. Besides the '10+ interior looks much more similar to the '67/'68 interior the S197's were modeled after.

Just a personal opinion. To each their own. I just prefer cheap plain black plastic to flashy chrome accent crap and mood lighting all over the place.

OMFG!!! a passenger equals 170lbs or 20hp or 1.7 tenths in the 1/4 oh sweet baby jesus. he had quite the advantage indeed.

Have you made it to the track the third horseman? I haven't seen anyone with really positive numbers to report from there with a vortech.. mostly street killz.. Just curious because you mention no fair races on the street.

12.20 is the fastest Ive gotten driving. My buddy with a considerably larger amount of skill managed a best of 11.87.

When I say not fair, Im just saying that someone is always gonna be more modded than someone else. It just comes down to who has the faster car in the end, yes, and some driver mod. Its like the import guys saying no fair because they have 4 cyl and we have 8. Who cares, a faster car is a faster car, period. I know a S/C 5.0 would take me, but just so happens this one wasnt.

I agree with the 10+ interior being nicer with far better materials. I would take the 5.0 over my car with F/I, even if it is slower.

I do like the seats, and the higher reading speedo, but thats about it.

Nice runs...

Too bad you don't live in my area, I'd give you a run. I'd bet it be pretty damn close

My 2011 weighs roughly 3560-3580

Wow. 11.87 is probably one of the best times ive seen from the vortech v3 and you could still add a few mods.
