If he's just an intake car, once you finish your Catless DP and tune you should have him.

you would need to either stick a switchblade into at least one of his tires or load up his back seat with about 600#'s of scrap steel. Sorry, but my buddies LS2 m6 goat eats me alive and the ls1's aren't that much slower.

I had an intake and my cutout open a little when I beat a friend's stock 04 M6 GTO from 40-100. He passed me around 105 and I held about a foot behind his rear 'til 140.

I beat a turbo GTO 04' M6 car with the STS kit on it at MIR drag way. Now, he had a horrible launch, and he was not the best driver. But i did race him twice and beat him both times. However, on the highway, I could still see his license plate after he zoomed passed me (i think his feelings where hurt)....

put an intake on there instead of the panel filter and tune it, that should even things up.

Seems like you should be good to go after your mods. Shouldnt take much more before you can go after the 6,0s.
