Default 0-60 in the 3's???

Its a beautiful day here in Middle Tennessee. Went hunting in Predator and found myself on a deserted stretch of I-40 west. Just couldn't resist. Check pics.........

It was 50 outside and traction was somewhat of a problem. I'm having a set of equal length hedders fabricated to replace the 'shorty' ones currently on the car. I hope with this and some warmer weather and sticker tires, maybe we'll see a 0-60 run in the 3's.

Nagnag.. My 928 with a Porsche 32 Valve V8 isn't that fast.

Who cares if the engine comes from a Volvo if it's that fast?

Beautiful! ;D I'm quite the fan...

No, not as fast as DFastest by a long shot. Nor TonyG and a few others.

Best Wishes,
Sach

Predator,

How are you getting the traction? What kind of rearend, tires, suspension? If I could stop spinning my tires, I'd be in the 4's too I think.

Soooooo thats's what that flash was !!!!!!!

I was on I40 east today, returning from Memphis ( really the Casinos in Tunica )

Damn, rice rockets buzzed by me in Nashville, weaving thru traffic, glad I was in the Navigator.

Hey Predator, we are going to have to meet up sometime.
