Well I all happened last week when I was on my way to work when I hit some black ice and lost control of the car. The car went straight into a concrete barrier! Both air bags went off, thank god I'm ok. Well the car was a total loss, but I bought the car back for $600 bucks and ripped the the engine, tranny, and rear end out. I kept all the performance mods and sold the engine, tranny and rear end to my brother. Now he's making his 98 v6 into a "beast 6". Now onto the new car. I Got an unmodded triple black 2000 Gt vert with 76k on the clock. Now its time to install all the old mods on to the new car! Oh my brother btw works for a performance shop called Big wood Racing. You guys down here in NC should check them out http://www.bigwoodracing.com

Pics below









I will post more pics of the new car soon, Oh I dyno it stock. It made 225rwhp/275rwtq not too bad

Yes. This is true for manuals. Autos typically will dyno a few hp less on both.

my new gt 2000 PI gt dyno'd @ 225 at the wheels, 15% = 260hp @ flywheel. My 98 gt when it was stock it dyno'd @ 187 at the wheels. I got the 98 up to 271rwhp N/A before the accident.
