Default After many years

I've been a long time lurker, but I now must make a post. After being out of the game for a while, I'm back in. Thought I would share my new found powerhouse. 2002 ss, lsx, 76mm pt, makes 810/875 while still rowing gears. Car is definitely a handful on the street, but MAN is it fun!

Thanks firebird ss. It's what I've wanted all these years. Clean car that looks, and sounds pretty much stock, still has heat....a/c....and a mean stereo, but makes enough power to run deep into 9second territory.

I'm going to guess they are Fikse FM5 in 17x9 front and possibly 16" rear.

I think I was on a bit of a high that day. But I do feel in my heart that the car should trap 140ish though. If it doesn't, I'm burning it to the ground.

Nice! Keep the man pedal!

6 speed here. 10.2@146mph with 550 ramping to 800ish by the 1/8th. Made 870 on 23psi but never tracked it. Completely traction-less (RX-7, cant dial the camber out of the rear with the stock IRS)

Stick with it!

I'm in Wilmington, about an hour north east of Cincy. Yes, still rowing gears. I thought about going auto, but M6 is just way too much fun for the street.

I used to ride through that area on the way to Columbus for work. I see that you used Cincy speed, are you happy with the work? And what clutch are you using?

I pretty much do all the work on my car except tunning, my tuner used to work there full-time and that's where we go for a dyno session. Mcleod RXT, so far it works pretty awesome.
