get a short throw shifter and gears. if you have to pass smog, they will help you a lot at the track, while still allowing you to pass emissions.

I have the plate cover, and it sounds like one of the filaments in the bulb is burnt out. The bulb is 3157A. Read my signature for my mod list, havent had it at the track yet, but its definetly in the 12s. I've beat some low 13 sec cars and high 12 sec car on the street.

I don't care for loud exhausts. I'm always more impressed with the ones laying down numbers and doing it without the dB's. On your car all you needed was a cutout. On mine I only made 9 more dyno HP with the cutout open (4" mind you). Stocker does just fine!

well that's where you and i differ one of the reasons i drive a camaro is to be able to hear the engine and after i paid money for a cam and long tubes it makes it feel more like i get my moneys worth when it shakes the ground you know besides being a bit slow but we all have our opinions as for stock being just fine that is true i didn't take into consideration that he's looking for bolt on's i felt mine flow a lot better after my cam and long tubes

If you're going to run at the track and go for 12's, you need some drag radials.

I'd do this and throw in 3.73 gears and a mild cam and you'll be slamming.

Don't know if you got one but a short shifter will do wonders fir a 6 speed. Also depending on how brave you are N2O is a good option a wet 100 will wake your car up trust me. I have an A4 with a 100 and it's running great but read the N2O thred before you try. Btw thoes C6's look freakin awesome

Thanks, I love the wheels too they came on the car when I got it. It just i want to do so much to the car but $ becomes and issue. So I think for now I will just get a cutout and a short throw shifter.
