I regret that mine is no longer a daily driver. But for a basic SC package, it is fun as heck for the street. :)

Hey Tim! Great runs!

For gears, don't be thinking about ET, be thinking about powerband and traps. Choose a gear so that you'll be going through the traps in the top of 4th. You don't want to...

I agree in general. When I'm racing, I don't find myself looking at the any of the gauges anyway. That's why it's nice to be able to review. And even on the street, if I'm seeing a lot of boost,...

With ported heads, 9.5CR, stage II intercooler, and 104 unleaded, I see 160* (at 6800 rpm and 130mph+ at the top of fourth) and 18* timing with no knock-reduction. :)

I talked to my dealer about one today. :)

My first hot rod was a 1970 GTO Judge. Later had a 2004 GTO. I like wings. :cool:

I'm doing OK on the stock bottom end with a D1SC. :)

If I were doing it now, I'd be looking at the new i1 from ProCharger.

It's the 3.91's that are killing your launch. You might hook with slicks, but with practice you might get the 60-foot down to sub 2.0. Either way, it's hard to launch an M6 with that much power and...

1.49??? Good heavens! If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

I'd say definitely do not do gears. They will mess up your whole launch geometry and traction. 3.45's max.

I love my Volt. 3000+miles so far, less than $100 gas. I'm leasing and will trade it in at the end for whatever the technology evolves to for the 2016 models. :)
