It's so cute you can drive in a straight line. That must make you a real man.

 

Oh we raced around an oval.. I posted this a while back. She had oversteer like a motherfucker.
My long wheelbase.. she admired it.

 

and this crazy fk who did a doughnut at company function at the zoo...where i thought i was the first person there...
turns out my entire department including manager and director and supervisor...
I got a stern talking to...
some people said I was coolest though.

 

This is actually true.. it's such a low revver and throttle response is actually sluggish (around 40-50% is where it's at).
It's easy to get a jump on a V.. but a chase is a race.

 

Was I not clear?

 

J ... I feel like I haven't heard this story and I am so sad that I haven't heard it before

I'd pay money for a picture of their faces after you did that

 

oval? So you were at a track? Sounds like she needed a driver mod.

 

It was an abandoned warehouse

I even found teh original post about it.. slacker

​​​​​​​

 

J has the best stories.. really.. we lost our shit on that one.
The best kayaking stories, best hooligany stories, best mower stories, best towel stories.. the list goes on.

 

Needs driver mod!

 

I haven't met the dude, but I'd tap dat ass.

 

She did auto-x with her jizzmo..

 

Best baby blue toolbox stories, best car on grass photos stories, best deer meat stories, best...

 

I'm curious to see how a V handles a track in reality. I haven't heard of people tracking them, besides going to the strip. Lots of strip stuff.

 

There's really no getting away from the fact that it's a big car. Well balanced, but uuuuuuuuuuuuuuge.

 

Well.. it was the first production sedan to do the ring in under 8 minutes.. So....

 

That was with an auto too.. I'm sure the 6MT would have been quicker and faster

 

Considering the new ZL1 1LE is cut from the same cloth.. the potential is very high.

 

It did the ring in a staggering 7:16

 

Still not faster than a 370 jizzmo

 

So, should Jon buy a CTS-V? or a Jizzmo?

 

both. swap in the jizzmo engine into the back, and make it power the front wheels

 

There's no way. You think the 6MT is quicker/faster? Hmmm... I'm curious now. The auto is setup for performance driving, so I dunno.. I guess maybe in the hands of a skilled driver.

 

Auto is setup for performance driving.. are you sure you don't drive an Audi?
We're not talking about a DCT here.. the auto top speed is in fifth at 178.. that's no slouch..
but I'd be willing to bet the manuel is a little faster in the straights having taller gears in that range

 

not to mention better control...

and thanks for making me feel loved and not letting me forget any of my embarrassing stories.

 

I told lil' j we taking the V on our kayak adventure...haven't driven it in a week!

 

true, but can you even hit 178mph on the ring? Not many straight ways to max out on. Overall, I'd imagine the auto shifts faster than the 6mt can. Once again, in the right hands the 6mt might be faster, but for 99.9%, aka everyone else, it likely isn't.

i also don't see why they'd use the slower car to lap the ring for its official lap times.

 

True the 5MT IS300 is a thirsty car, but I remember it being a fun one too.
Curious if it'd be better with a 6MT.

 

It'd be better with a LSx swap

 

 

 

We're all going to buy IS300s and swap in J32s for fuel efficiency..
We're doing this rite? LMK.. about to hit Buy it now..

 

F**k it. I'm in!

Actually went to test drive a 2001 IS300 at a used car lot yesterday, but the place was closed for the week. I think the owners must be on vacay ("Gone Fishin'"). I also noticed that the IS300 they listed online was nowhere in sight. Hmmmmm.
