Build an Fbody? Currently interested in picking up an ls1 f body and building it. Iv heard nothing but good and Iv always loved the f bodies the only bad thing I keep hearing is that the mighty M6 breaks a lot and destroys rear ends like no other along with stories of body kinks due to chassis flex along with bad things about the suspensions durability. Ill be doing a LOT of reading in the newb section for right now, but if you guys have any advise id love to hear it and if i could get some in put on what it takes to get into low 10s id love to hear it.
Thank you all.

the 6spd taks a lot of HP before it breaks. It does kill the rear a lot as it puts more of a shock on the system.
suspension is decent, just get some good shocks and it will make a big difference.
Get some subframes for support, should be one of the first mods to keep flex down to a minimium.
