Dyno's have shown the car pick up 15whp just by switching gas in it from 87-91 octane. that is on a stock a PCM no tune added.

My friends G37 pulled 1 1/2-2 cars from 45 to 95-100mph, i know i was driving the L99. If its a V6 the OP beat that is a stout 6 then, lol.

I've only met one guy around here with one and he didn't know much about it lol. He looked embarrassed when I asked him questions about it. He also said the transmission feels like a stick in the sand. LOL.

GTO's seem to be all over the board roll racing wise.
