2009 Victory Red Panel SS

 

Boo it's an auto.

 

^^^ us auto guys would say the same thing if it was a stick

 

i want the armrests

 

Who's the lucky guy who will grab this beauty? Under 9k miles.

 

Anyone else find the way they covered the hotside pipe and the pipe to the turbo interesting? Personally I'd take that SS badge off the front bumper; I'd still buy it if I had the funds though!

 

I saw that covered too. I wonder why?????

 

mostly to reduce under hood temperatures - reduced intake temps=more hp
i doubt it adds any hp - but i would believe it reduces under hood operating temps

i used to lay a bag of ice on my composite intake on my Pontiac WS6 at the strip while lighting up the tires then remove it for the run - some folks will do anything for a extra pony

 

That looks like more work that replacing the rubber snake/hose.

 

Exactly. Looks like the previous owner was trying to reduce underhood temps and gain 1-2 "free" hp.
