Wow, is this car awesome !!!

I was just going to ask about the motor but someone else beat me to it. Very cool indeed and I love that it is a v6 and that you drive and it sounds like you drive it a lot.

I did get do one all out max mpg run, drinking like there was an egg on the throttle pedal, coasting, etc and got just under 40 but it wasn’t fun
I’ve got full Hotchkis suspension front and rear, Wilwood discs on all 4 corners and a 12.1 steering box so it drives fantastic.
