well , i have been driving the car , remeber this deal is completelu stock , not even a tune and it is wicked fast. If i had to guees the car lost atleast 150-180 lbs. the factory manifolds on these are very restritive, so we might have gained 30-40 hp with the new exhaust.

P.S. Thanks resident SS guy for the baseline setting on the struts and shocks. I can even leave pretty hard even on the stock 20" tires Twisted Evil

get some track times before you tune it with upgrades for we can see how much it helps
