Lets all flame Suspect !!! LOLOriginally Posted by SUSPECT
Thats like saying ALL VL's should be manual VLCT's other than white !!!
At least have a car thats better than a VN SS then we might give some merit to your statement !!!
@AirStrike >> Good luck with all your future mods ! nice car ! all she needs to turn heads is a VN's sv5000 bodykit !!!

Thats a nice clean looking carFor some reason I though it was white before seeing the pics! No idea why. Love the VN SS in any colour though.
Whoever said 'There is no substitute for cubes' had obviously never heard of Jet power
SUSPECT - I dont understand why someone would buy a N/A VL ExecI wanted Phoenix really as majority are atlas, plus this one was in too good a condition to pass up. Also with it being auto, all the manual ones I looked at were rooted........jumping outta gear, warn clutches, warn throw out forks, etc. Plan is for a fully manualised T350 later on.
HoZy - Damm straight Phoenix is the best colour!
sixshooter - No way is the SV5000 kit going on. Only mod to the extrerior will be a VP senator grill, lowered and rims.
Got some Silver Strand and some Black here to paint fuel tank tomorrow. Silver tank and black straps......for now, going to go Phoenix straps when I get some paint.

hot looking VN mate... good luck with it
I've said it once and I'll say it again... I wish mine was an SS ...
Love the colour... And yeah, who cares if it is auto... The only Auto I would have considered buying is a commy SS ... When you have a V8, you don't need it in manual...
I only got the v6 in auto cause it was for my fiance to learn to drive... And since I have driven it, I actually don't mind having an auto.. Love driving it in traffic to work...
Damm straight! Nothin beats slappin on cruise control, puttin the windows down, pumpin the music up and going for a cruiseOriginally Posted by 89vncommy

The downside however, is you loose out by not having the overdrive 4th of the Turbo 700... this is most noticable if you also have a low 4.11 diff ratio when you're on the highway stuck reving in 3rd. Also I was reading the other day that it isn't hard to manually activate the 4th gear lockup via a switch so you can stop slipping in an out of overdrive near the shift point by turning it off for when you really need 4th. Just my 2c.
