Wanting to start on another build as my current builds are nearly finished. Open to trades for the right vehicles.
I built the car nearly 2 years ago. As far as I know it was the first ls/6 speed swapped 245 in the world, and likely still is the only. It makes 500+rwhp as is and I drive it as often as possible. I've driven it on a 6 hour round trip to a track event/show, raced it all night and then drove it home getting 25+mpg.
