Oh and I found this nifty little calculator I don't know how accurate it is, but it seems pretty close.

Well that Matte Carbon looks really good how much did it run you?
Less than $200 I think.

You can trade the auto for a manual and then get the shifter?

Maybe gears for the auto, not sure what the v6 comes with.

holden's name is on the members list thread first page under Charlotte. You'll have to wait a bit before your account allows for PM privileges.

So what you fellas think shorty headers or long tubes? I'm leaning more towards tge shorties and 3.55 gears so I can have a decent balance of mpg and quickness

Gonna get more bang for buck with the long tubes, plus a deeper exhaust note. Gears are unknown to me since what works for the GT doesn't necessarily work for the v6.

Lost your post on the Blue Oval Club, their president is Wayne Goode. He's a good guy and can get you hooked up.

His email is waynegoode8@hotmail.com

So do I just tell him I live in RC, and I want to join? And the long tubes are nice, but the catted shorty pipes are so expensive, I was going to get the shorties and the frpp cut and clamp xpipe so it would hook into my stock cats and not be a bastard to install.

That's all it takes. I think it's $30 a year.

They are both bastards so might as well do it once. Just save up a bit more, it will be worth it.
