It is a widely known fact that the 3.6L V6 powered submarine is much faster underwater than the 6.2L V8 submarine.

I read that post on one of the submariner forums anyway.

FYI

And the ambient lighting is supposed to be really cool.

And strangely they are all painted some really cool dark grey color, CGM I think they call it.

Headlights on a submarine,

Does it have one-touch electric windows? I'm surprised they didn't put the upgrade brembos on the V6 sub, pitiful. And those Navy decals...

Do young guys today still take their girl out to watch the submarine races? I guess I'll have to take the wife out to see the new nuclear sub races, I hear they run much better lap times than the diesel subs we used to watch...or not

I think the one on the right had a jump from the start. You can clearly see it has pulled ahead by about 3 meters.

I think a "Crazy Ivan," followed by a deep-run and emergency blow could bring the one on the left back into the race.

Yah, that's it!

And the turbo charged 3.8L ones are quick off the line, but then they need their transmission replaced and its not covered under warranty. To replace it costs 1/4 the price of the entire sub.
