Just curious what is the earliest vmax anyone has?

It's going to be hard to tell without looking at the VIN as I would guess a good portion of them were likely built in 10/08 or 11/08. I've allegedly got the first one that was sent to Colorado but, then again, who knows but if I had to guess it was the 102nd built as the last six of the VIN are 000102.

I could tell.....or I can show....

 

[chief7777]

mine is 211. with 1440 miles on it

mine shows 12/08 with VIN ending in 0186 so it does not look like there is a good logic in this.
(see above pighuntingpuppy 9/08 with # 0184).

They are all a PIA.
The side with the radiator hose, front.. Drain the coolent and move that hose out of the way.

My go to is a sparkplug socket the type with a rubber retainer in the socket. So 3/8 drive socket + 1" extension + universal.

Take off Faux tank and scoops. Anything EZ to remove to get access to the plug cavity.

So, how do agree what determines the "earliest" Gen 2? By VIN? Or by production date?
