3" catless XTC downpipe
Airbox mod with K&N E-1009 filter
Poly engine mount
60lb. injectors
2.6" pulley
stage 2 belt
HP Tuners tune
1 step NGK colder plugs
Weapon R engine damper


unbelievable! and i dont care if any of you call BS....i beat a c6 400hp vette!
130mph on mid 3rd gear or is it just a typo?

340 is weak for m6's. auto's are always lower.

7400 still only puts you at about 115 at the top of 3rd - I'm sure you meant 4th.

Exactly what I was thinking. I dont own an SS/SC, but the one I test drove topped out @ about 90 in 3rd. 40 more mph and only 900 rpm's, doesnt seem like that would make it that high. Redline might change, but the gears didnt. I have had many C6's race me on my R6 (10.98 in the 1/4), from a dig, they dont stand a chance, but I have almost been taken from a roll, and I know that bike would take an SS/SC. It just doesnt seem possible for the C6 to lose, if so not by 2 cars.

One time I raced this turbo V8 Lotus in my 1991 Grand Am Quad-4 and I had him by 9 car lengths exactly.
