It's really easy to get the MKV into the low 10s, it's not hard to get it into the 9s. Yeah, Norris's run is insane and a lot of it is the driver, but there is a good handful of them in the 8s. The Boostin' Performance runs low 9s on the stock turbo even.
I really like this platform, and I plan...
i am, but I’ve ordered DSS axles. I’m just doing it now because there’s no reason to wait. I have personally seen axles snap on 1.6 60’s running 11.3
I mean.. I didn’t smelt the metal. I bought a long ass bit of braided line, cut to length, attached the fittings, ate frozen pizza, undid the fittings, applied some E6000 to the fittings, reattached the fittings, realized I cut one too short, cut a new line, etc.
From my untrained eye, those appear to be 13/15s as you mentioned, both on the stocker wheels. Stocker tires. I'd be very surprised if anyone went to the trouble to upside the stock tires, as they are trash.
