Oh, btw..... over the summer, he and his team took a handfull of GTO pilots on a durability run from LA to Detroit. He said they had them at 120 mph in the desert with the A/C on full blast with luggage and 4 people in the car and no problems, took them through the rocky mountains for altitude and extreme temperature changes, and still not a problem. The only thing that happened was that one of his crew blew an engine by missing a gear on downshift. He said they spent the whole month of July on this run. So it was more than just a direct drive.... they took time to put the cars through hell in the process. Sounds like they're serious about reliability.
