Retired the SRT-4, got something different.

2002 T/A M6 - this is me vs a C6 corvette.

Getting some base runs before the H/C package.

Nothing crazy, CNC Ported 243 Castings with a LS6 cam. With other various bolt-ons. Should net me near 400 whp.

The vette comes after of course. I still got the XF. 1 year left. I'll drive the T/A until I finish paying my school loans off. 2 years from now tops. Then it is time for a corvette.

I just couldn't deal with the problems that SRT-4 had. My silver one was great, my blue one sucked. Go figure.

I have to agree with you about the c6. Those cars definitely look the part. I would like to hear what you think about the c6, if you have ever driven one etc...

One of the best cars I have ever driven.

The improvements are night and day when comparing the C5 vs the C6. The day I drove it the day I was sold. Everything is better from ride to shifting to everything else. Not to mention looks. Only gripe I have about it is the shift ****, I don't like it, I am used to the big block of the C5.

Since my ownership of so many cars its takes a bit to impress me. The C6 impressed me as much as my e46 M3 did when I first bought it.

Two other cars that impressed me on a not so expensive level, were the mini cooper S (just so fun) and SRT-4 (power wise).
