Mojave results are in. The only cars faster in my A1 class are cars that are ridiculously modded (G8, Challenger) and cars that should realistically be faster. Enjoy!

Eh...I think I may wait for that. The car is pretty phenomenal as it is. You have headers, right? What is your opinion? Worth it? Any drone?

My opinion of the Borla exhaust combined with headers is good. I don't have drone, but it is of course deeper and louder overall.

I agree the car is phenomenal and I too am happy with the Borla exhaust, but it can be made even more phenomenal with some headers. The gains I've seen on the quarter mile with the addition of headers I can only imagine with your 163.3 mph run that you would be hitting the electronic speed limiter of 171mph in the full mile.

You definitely know how to wave a carrot in front of an intake I may have to consider that before Majave next year, which they're increasing to a mile and a half!! Now how to remove the speed limiter

Would love to hear what headers sound like with the borla exhaust!
