  1. I get it. Not trying to give you a hard time. I'd love to own a 1000+hp gtr or ugr lambo. What prevents me is the hassle of dealing with things when they break. And they almost always break at some point. It's not a huge deal to swing the $10k+ to put an upgraded trans in my gtr. Just the hassle of finding a shop to handle the job, taking it there, following up on shit, and waiting months because shep is back logged. I could only imagine getting a modded lambo out of butt fuck nowhere to get fixed.

     

    There's something to be said about walking off the lot with a factory fresh 640hp car that you can drive the ever living fuck out of, and take 5 miles down the road if you break anything. Zero anxiety about driving the car how you want at all times. Total piece of mind. Especially if the car will see serious mileage and be relied on for child transport duty.

     

    This, especially since gm has already said they will even cover track used cars as long as they are highly modded.

  2. Yea i have lower control arms in the rear, thats it lol. I do plan on getting a new torque arm asap as im sure the stock one will snap lol.

     

    The car hooked great with the power it had, and hell half the time i had my drag radials at 32 psi and still had no issue. Im more concerned with keeping the front end down so i dont have to pull the motor back out to replace an oil pan already lol.

     

    What setup did you go with in the front?

  3. So the 383 is in the firebird, and honestly, with 160k on the stock v6 suspension, i was expecting the added weight to make the front end eat dirt. Supprisingly it didnt and doesnt sit much lower if any than it did with the 6 in it.

     

    So my question is, should i just save the money and leave it be, get new, but stick with the v6 stuff, or get v8 stuff?

     

    Same with the rear?

     

    Trying to figure out what will be best for racing as this thing squated/pulled the front end up so easily that it almost pulled a wheel with the v6 still in it, not sure i wanna find out what it will do with almost 200 more hp lol
