He's out whooping on Ferraris, Lambos, and Porsches with his new 4.10 C6. He is in complete and total amazement of how right we were and how wrong he was. Now he's too scared to come on here and he's hoping we'll all just forget about it.

Hey guys 4:10 baby, the car is an animal, thats all I can say I guess the only way to describe it, it's like watching a movie in FastForward, under normal driving, you wouldnt know the car has 4:10's.....I have a headache from the drive home of getting on it in 3,4 & 5th gear. Oh yea, 6th gear is my stealth/civil gear.

I'll upload a quick vid to demo the 4:10's! Tomorrow, I'll do some more video footage

I can imagine, with that trap speed it was likely already quite strong from a roll even before the gears, but now it must be truly nasty.

Well, I should have known the Devil was out "testing" his new gears.


Did you put the 400-500 easy break-in miles like you're suppose to do followed by a change in the gear oil before "beating" on it?

Yes, I did see that video. I'm just surprised DVL's car wasn't in the high 20's at least. However, he could of been driving up a hill. I doubt his mods are killing his milage.

I'm considering 4.10's, but I want to see how well LS3s fair with it.
