How to beat a V12 Aston Martin Vantage
So my old man drives a V12 Vantage pushing about 510HP. (He has a race exhaust)
The car is the best part 150 Lbs lighter than my 2SS.

What do you guys think I need to do to make my car win the 1/4 mile??

At some point I have the Hennessey Performance 650 Package in my future than will boost my HP up to 655 at the crank. Do you think that will be enough to match the weight difference?

This will be moved to the Camaro Vs. section.....buttttt put on the Hennessey 650 pkg and I think you'll give him a good run for his money.

He only runs about a 12.5 @117 1/4 stock. So you would lay waste to him with the Hennessey package. I ran 13.0 @ 108.5 off the showroom floor. All you need is a set of long tubes, high flows , tune , DR's and few other bolt ons and you would give him a run or beat him without the Hennessey package.

Bolt ons will get you a 12.5, A S/C will get you a 11.5. Hopefully my new t/c will get me faster....

Even if you beat him in a race, he beats you in every other category.

Meaning he paid 100k+ and lost to less than 40k worth of car....I hope the name is enough to make him happy. Usually it's the AS guys who stare at my car hehe. Yesterday I pulled up to a guy in a Ferrari. I'm sure he is used to ignoring people but he glanced over and the front end of my car caught his eye. He smiled with a big wave as we both have very sexy cars and neither should feel bad about that.
