if your talking about paul he knows he is on borrowed time. The transmission is just not setup to deal with the stress of a good clutch and 300+ whp.

I lost a lot parting out i put like 10k into i made 4K back then had to spend 1K for stock parts. Now im looking to sell it and the car is worth 18.5 and no one is willing to spend that i;d be lucky to get 15
