I've yet to see exactly what this damn thing can do...

Well tell your daughter she can floor the **** out of it because it doesnt break everytime i take it to the track like that 6 speed **** does. I guess im not cool since i like driving my car instead of breaking rearends and transmissions every pass..Belive me its a lot cheaper in the long run.I had 4 transmissions and 3 rearends in my car and I was sick of it not running.

Thomas you know i'm playing with you, slow down turbo. There is nothing for me to hate, i've done the fast car bit it got old... Powell can't even get me over to his house to mess with this camaro. Instead i decided to get a house, similar to your parents actually just no airport, something that might yeild a little return when i sell it.... If i wanted to hate i would post my dyno #'s from my heads cam car lol..... now stop by i've got a fridge full of beer....

John we've broken the transmission a bunch but its not what broke its what we didn't fix that broke. One of the biggest parts was the same part you already have but you would have had the EXACT samething break when your wheels started hopping. Can't stop what and what not breaks if the car wheel hops, whoever trys to tell you that it doesn't is a... idiot I guess. We have had no problems with transmission spraying out of the whole when it was Heads/Cam 200 dry shot (what gave out was the clutch, but it did that on Motor). He made his 10.5 pass after a few passes without a problem. **** happens.. Why bitch out when transaxle cars have been WAY faster then both you and LP have been with 6-spds. SW broke alot of things, but he did this when there wasn't alot of upgrades (and Josh we've checked this with Jayson). The LPE 6-spd went 9.4s, plenty of 9sec 6-spd n2o Vettes, etc.. If we wanted to make a race car we'd put the motor in my car with a big shot with the glide or a Th350, until then we want to have the fastest 6-spd Vette in Texas. Just keeping getting set back with little things, but thats just weeding the small ones out. He just wants something fun that honestly will destroy almost any DAILY driven (100+ mile a week) car and a 6-spd is the way to go.

Man that sucks Youll be back! Get everything fixed. My buddie snapped the pinion support on his z06 and it took out the output shaft to the t56. So we ordered all the DTE upgrades and the G force output shaft. I hear ya on the wheel hop! It is evil on IRS AND IF YOU STAY IN IT YOUR ASKING FOR TROUBLE!

Sorry Chris it has been a long week. Not to mention that I'm a little touchy with my car because it has displacement on demand right now, but that was not an option. Coil packs comp or something??? It is going to be fixed on Monday.

Yeah we broke our Gforce shaft into 2 pieces That SOB is expensive! Yeah the sad part is as soon as it hopped he let out, but it broke instantly. 1.7 60ft moving 20ft with power LP know the C5's well has been launching at over 6500 since he was 16 To bad he can't out drive me in a Mustang or Camaro, just the Vette cause long arms = loss

I'm sure we will be back, just after our trip from hell I want to stick around here. lol. How far are you all from Lonestar Raceway? If its like 1:30 or 2hrs its about an equal drive for us too. We live down south of Houston so its a hell of a drive.
