Because it's not easy. Some people like to push themselves. Anyone can buy a V8 and add bolt ons and be cool.

Sorry this project hurts your pride.

It was a joke about having a bolt on GXP that will likely lose to this project car.

6.0 is a 400hp (crank) engine, the powerband is insane but at the wheel the 6.0 was only like 330-340 whp.

glad mine has a lsj lol
i think this project is awesome i love the smoothness of the powerband on the ls2 in the GTO, its not as twitchy as my cobalt. but, i also love that twitchiness.. id love for the balt to be RWD... keep up the good work.
