No, clearly I don't know what an LS6 is having been here for how much longer than you with how many more posts? I probably know more about the differences of the LS6 and the LS1 than you do. I probably know more about F-bodies than you do. Here is a good example:

Did you know that *gasp* 2001-2002 M6 cars came with the LS6 clutch? How about you read the newbie section of this site.

Next, 400 WHP is a Z06 with another amazing thing, a couple of mods, which ironically is exactly what I said. That kettle is black, btw.

No kidding. If you were less angry and more realistic, you would realize that when you beat on any car, you brake things. The rear of the F-body however, will brake if you beat on it, just like the situation you described about launching an STI. Imagine the symmetry, which is exactly what I and another person pointed out to you! Although it is not the transmission that brakes on STi's, it is the rear axle and the differentials.

Please, before you post, make sure your facts are correct and you don't sound quite so ignorant.

But i have abused my drivetrain with nitrous and heavy launches on sticky tires !! The old saying is you have to pay to play comes in on all cars !! No car drivetrain is undestructible especially with me driving If you take care of the car and dont drive like me it will last along time and that goes for almost any type of car !

Also, someone stated that a '98 Z28 cost $30K new. Funny how I paid <$21K for a 2000 Z28 brand spanking new (and faster yet, since it is lighter!). Let's see anyone pay that little for even a slower WRX, NEW!

Glad that 2001z and Wants an LS1 see the obviousness of the that argument, heh

Also, my 98 Z28 had a tough life and the clutch, which I took out at 84k miles, still had another 15k on it (replaced it because the slave broke and said, why not when I'm already taking 1/2 the stuff out anyway). They are tough, its the little things that break on it (how many times I replaced power window motors...)
