Very impressive! Can't wait to see that thing with some longtubes.

Yeah these cars hook well from factory with those gears, my car is hit or miss with the 245s though. Some roads its on the limiter or some roads it dead hooks. Nice to see another fast M6 F-body! As for the longtubes kooks are a real nice piece, what ORY are you using?

Marc should know, he used to own one of those dreaded boat anchors. I better go take my motor out and bring it with me next time I go fishing on the river. The opti might get wet though

No, I should have. Shouldnt be hard to find though. Its a loaded with leather ttop z with traction control. The spec xtrim clutch and flywheel weights 17lbs I forgot to mention what it weighs. Some of you are probly not familiar with it its pretty new. Its a triple disc and a bitch to take off in but I DD it. I have to admit when I first put it in I wanted to sell the car lol. But now that im use to it id never give it up
