Nice ride!

What kind of torque does the V6 pull compared to the V8? I am glad to see Ford and Chevy break the 300hp barrier with their new V6 models. Congrats on the new ride. Nothing like the "new car" smell, toxic or not.

LOL, I beat one in my Sunday driver LT1 6MT Trans Am. 1996 model with exhaust mods.

WOW, your 300lb lighter 5.7 Pontiac beat a 3.6 V6 Camaro!

TSQUARE - you got a really nice ride. Enjoy.

Great as soon as the rims are gone

I dunno, I kinda dig the rally-style wheels. In a retro stock kinda way.

Or are they a true two piece rallye rim? If so, even cooler!

I like the rims. Chrome 20's are for gang-bangers!

There's nothing that says "I'm really desperate for attention" like huge chrome rims. A pet peeve of mine!

Chrome is out these are in!!

I have found a set of Painted 5 spokes from a LT model I am going to buy and put on it.
To answer a few of the questions, it is a 323 HP stock v6 (for now, ram air and exhaust and tune will put me right at 400hp @ crank) it is a 6 speed manual. The torque is 278@4800 compared to the V8 @ 426HP and 420@4600 stock.
It does pull pretty good, and without the traction control on, revved and drop clutch it will burn them as long as you stay in the gas. It will also do very nice tight donuts!! The rally Steel wheels are one piece as far as I know.
