    Testing mine Gt T6

    Burning some rubber on second gear, shifting up to third when driving away, then my shifter broke...

    That's really nice!!! Nice car too!!! Hope your shifter is easily fixed.
    I'm not familiar with that engine.
    But I'd be curious to hear more information about it.

    Ok I just did a quick google for t6 engines and viewed some really sick Volvo at a drag strip. I now understand what you built!

    Thanks!
    Its a volvo 2,8l six cylinder engine, with a Garreth GT35/82R turbo.

    The car is built for trackdays mostly, but i run it on the roads to.

    Nice car for a day on the street. I heard that a shifter-breakage every once in a while happens to the best of us...

    Man that's cool!
    How much Hp and torque do you think your making? Is your rear end stock?
    I'd think it would be a waste if you wouldn't drive it on the street at least once and awhile. Let others a chance to see and hear such a monster.
