Improved racing baffle on a GTO pan will NOT provide consistent oil pressure at 1.4 sustained lateral G's like they claim in their marketing material. At least for me it didn't. I've heard the...

It’s cool and I like the idea but would it really keep someone out of your glovebox? I’d think you could just rip it open with like 10lbs of force.

When your car pulls like a f*cking freight train from 2K-7K rpm, the redline becomes pretty freaking irrelevant.

Going from a 7400 rpm redline to 7K wasn’t that different and well worth the trade...

1/8 mile huh? I hope you got to do a lot of passes. One night of drag racing was enough for me. 33 seconds of seat time for 3 hours spent waiting at the track was even worse than autoX. Had more fun...

It's funny my F56 Mini made the same exact numbers but flipped with just a reflash on pump gas. Curb weight is about the same too.

Engine swap, motec ecu with C127 dash. Only stock part left on the car is the factory diff housing, with an OS Giken LSD.

The car is a total Frankenstein at this point.

Totally valid point. Stock or somewhat close to stock twin makes a fairly good daily driver. I considered buying a 2nd one but that seemed redundant. Once you swap in a V8 with a big cam and 9K/11K...

This thread is fake news. I tried everything to stop the rattle on a V3 to no avail. Unless you have a totally obnoxious exhaust you'll hear the rattle above 4K rpm which will get worse till redline.
