Same car here except M6 targa...bought 12-2010 w/15,700 miles
I tore into the engine right away since my last car ran mid elevens.
To me thirteen anything was no way!!! With a small cam, shorty
headers, and some mild port work to the 241s it runs 12.2s @ 116mph
If your's has the optional 3.15 gears, you are a cold air intake, tune,
converter, and drag radials away from runnin' mid/low twelves.
