As I build my wish list I am curious what options are available that fit back there and what exhaust you are running with it.

I plan to on mine in the future, but it will be a long ways away before I get to that point.

I am curious if anyone has done it. I hear a lot of cons running twin turbos on aluminum blocks but I thought I saw one on a GTM but I can't find any info.
Just thinking out loud.

Great....Thank you.
I read through the whole thread and it looks like the engine is built with an iron block.
Correct??
My main concern is keeping that much power on the road. Everything I read about the GTM and owners is that many warn new buyers about the rear end wanting to come around.
Just curious if this is a straight race car or also intend on street use.
I set my HP goal around 800 for a start while I get accustomed to a mid engine car this is that light.

Curious minds want to know. . . . if 800hp is your goal, what is the objective? Standing mile? Drag car? Show car?

I am actually fighting two temptations that are always inside of me.....
Strip car....standing mile and drag....
Street Machine....
I haven't decided where this car will fall so I am doing research.
