I ordered a V15 and expect it to be good in truggy..
This V8 looked good(yellow trug) - and I don't know why the V15 would be so different:

that video doesn't show much to me.the truggy is coming off banked corners and is always at a higher speed roll..where these engines are weak is in the low end for clearing jumps, and this video only displays the midrange and top end ...the bottom is where we need to be concerned and this video shows us nothing of the bottom end.....Basically on a banked oval with a loose surface, anything is going to look decent in these conditions...a engine could have zero bottom end and still look good when shown under the right conditions (like this video )

I've also been around enough C6's at races to know they go well in truggy... And by all accounts most of these 5+2 MES Blasts are basically based on a C6.. In any event I'm confident that the V15 will go well in my truggy.. Lot of guys happy with the V8 and V11-V14 in truggy(no news out there on the V15 yet, but it's not that different afaict)... I've even run with a guy with a V1 in an MBX6T which looked more than respectable.. Good clutch, pipe, and tune and I'm sure it'll be fine..

It cost me $147 with the discount and free shipping from amain. If at any point I ever feel like my truggy is underpowered, which I highly, highly doubt will happen, I'll put it in my buggy and try something else. But at that price I'm happy to give it a shot..
