So had a dream and now I'm obsessed .... lol

[SHOSTL88]

So had a dream last night that I got my Sho down to the 11 's and realized that not to many have done this... now the almighty debate to void the warranty and risk longevity of my car that I still very much owe on and just mod the **** out of it ... or too have patience and just ride out what I have until car is either paid down or warranty Is expired... Decisions Decisions.... I could put the poll to you but I feel as tho most of you are biased opinions once I'm done with forking the bill out on this wedding the car budget will then be in full effect... why can't car manufacturers just be Ok with modding cars and relive the stress of this warranty game...
This dream I had was very very real and this is definitely a dream I could make happen... The responsible side of me says just wait tho and get my money out of the warranty especially considering I paid for the extended ..

Love your dream, but there are so many other platforms that can get there for a lot cheaper (less weight) and less headache.  My advice, just enjoy your 12 second ride...  Lol.

Since you can definitely get to the low 12's without much modification, I think I'd get it there and turn attention to appearance and AV mods.  IMHO.

Ha!  :rofl2:

This is the most sound advice I've seen posted here yet. k:

Fact is, there's been only one (privately owned) EB owner who's broken into the elusive 11 barrier, and that member/owner was/is FirstSHO, and he's a Livernois customer for the record.

Not even 4DR, with all his mods was able to do this in his no longer owned, and now completely de-constructed, traded back into dealership, FLEX.

2014 ought to be interesting as I believe it may be seen that other EB owners, whether members here, or elsewhere, will likely also eclipse into the 11's with an EB based powerplant.

But to close, Needmoreboost hit it right on the head of the nail. LOL.

This is the dream that many of us have . For many here it is not an issue of sensibility or being practical .

I think a lot of it is simply the shear joy that we feel when we see the stunned looks of disbelief on other drivers that are not aware of what this platform is capable of .

Yes there are TONS of other cars that can reach that mark much more easily and cheaper but it is a much more " common " occurance .

How many other 2 ton bricks can do what we are able to achieve at this price point even with mods ?

my thoughts exactly there is nothing better than walking away from people and seeing them scream like Jarule did in fast and furious.. Nooooo Monicaaaa.... lol of course I could go buy a vette and withe simple mods have an 11 sec car I think buy tastefully modding the sho and with the right conditions this dream is a reality well just have to see where this road takes me one mod at a time...

As you all have seen 11's are possible, FirstSHO proved this being the first SHO in the 11's.

While I agree that it can be a little bit more difficult to do so in a 4300 lb. car anything is possible. We have been able to prove that it is possible with our products. As the industry is always changing you can count on us to keep doing the necessary research and development to offer quality products that help everyone achieve their goals! All of the parts that are necessary to do this are listed in the video posted

And how has FirstSHO (Mike)'s car been? Any issues thus far? How many miles on it since the mods?

I have to agree 12 second car is about where you want to be with this platform. Also when running faster times things tend to go south quick in terms of reliability of the car. With any car in that instance but moreso with cars really not intended for those type of track times..

too much trouble and a lot of wasted money on moderately fast nice looking family car.

I'd just be happy with mid-low 12's and call it a day. You'll never get the money back and you'll probably trade the car in a few years

I may add downpipes and possibly meth, but I'd only upgrade my turbos if my stockers crap out, or by doing so gets me into the 10's if more fuel mods came to be and supported a lot more power. Not enough benefit for the cost / effort to me to modify our turbos.
