Well I was out today enjoying my Paxton GTS. I have always heard 4th pulls like a mother f***** but man I had no idea. 4th pulls like a freight train. I smile everytime I hit it in 4th.
As I was out driving I passed a big field where 3 kids soccer games were going on. As I drove pass, and this really felt like a car advertise or something, all the kids stops playing and the adults all turned around and watched as I drove pass. I couldnt help but laugh and be pride of the car I was in.
To conclude my day, I was driving on a closed course when two motorcycles pulled up behind me and rode my rear bumper for 10 seconds then both pull beside me and pass me. I drop to 3rd and move behind them. One pulls a wheelie and when he drops the front wheel down, both take off and so do I. Immediately I start to slowly gain on them and I move out a lane to their left and pull right up next to them. At this point I look down and see the RPMs at 6500. I let off the gas and bring it down to 60 or so. I was a little worried to see it hit 6500. I drive to walmart to get something and when I came out I notice coolant on the ground right in front under the bumper (right where the bumper ends and the frame starts I guess). I look under and dont see no drips from underneath. I drive home and park. Come back out in 10 minutes and 1 hour later and still no coolant So Iam thinking maybe the coolant was already there when I pulled into the spot. Didnt notice in difference in the car or the gauges at all.
Well that was my day, very enjoyable. For those considering the paxton, its great. Power seems to come on around 3k and pulls hard to redline plus. Nice whistle sound, drives like stock. I highly recommend. I have never driven a Roe Viper but would love to to ocmpare. I am using stock pulley.
I guess I do have a question, driving the engine to 6500, will this cause damage as Ive heard stories that the valve train and oiling system are poor pass 6k. I have JM ported heads and jesel rockers and comp coupe baffle.
Pretty long so thanks for reading, especially those who made it this far.
