Like lower weight, lower center or gravity, dry sump oiling...
Oh wait
No to mention the whole aspect of RWD, performance gearing, 6 speeds...

Like 15 cu ft more luggage space.
Like lower insurance rates.
Like the feeling of pulling away from a corvette as it sleeps at the lights not expecting a family luxury sedan to own it, Been there. Done that. :P

Nevertheless, I'm not trying to knock you down because they're definitely some nice numbers and one hell of an ambitious project!

I am not having any luck with the TCM controlling the trans. I tried to scan it and get it to work on my emulator to no avail. It has all the power and ground it needs, but I get no MIL, no scan data across the serial data line, and no shift, it stays in 1st (better then staying in 4th) so I know it has power and goes into a limp mode b/c 1st gear is not a natural default, that would be 2nd. I might have connection issues...
But I hooked both sol wires to my Perf Shift (ground) switch, so I start in 2nd, get third (if the shifter is in 3rd (3) and then bump to 4th (D). I get a 2-4 if I leave it in D. I can;t imagine 1st gear with the 3.71 FDR. I might be looking to switch to the 3.11 ir something in b/t, there'* a 3.48 that might be nice. I only run 118 in 3rd and with the power I am making, might be running faster than that in the 1/4-mile. A 3.48 will give me about 130 to work with!
HEY! I just ran the numbers... I don;t think I have a 3.71! That would give me 125mph @ 6500. I was hitting the rev limiter on the dyno at 118! Could I possibly have the rare Eldo 4.10?!?!?!?!? I'm on the phone with my tranny guy right now.
The 3.71 would be over 125 @ 6500

Well, I read somewhere on the net about a 4.0 FDR. I can't find anything about it or what models it was available in, but when I run the numbers, 6500rpm, 24.5" tire (measured on the car), 4.0FDR and 1:1 trans gear, I get 118.59mph. It hit 118 on the dyno at 6500! CRAP! a 4.0 is too low, really. I'll be shifting into 4th gear in the 1/4-mile! I guess that'* not the end of the world, with a 4.0, the actual final overdrive ratio is 2.73, not far off the 2.97 stock FDR in a 4T65E. And with 450+whp, it should pull just fine in 4th! What a holeshot it'* going to have when I finally get 1st gear up and running! LOL! it'll be only 40mph in 1st!
The bad thing about it is I made a 4 hr round trip this week and only got 18mpg on a full tank, 303 miles, 17 gallons. I am not locking the tq converter yet, so that might pick up 2 or 3mpg at the most. Still, that'* pretty dismal. But I guess to run in the 11'* and get 21mpg is not something most people can claim!

Well, if you're pushin' 500+ at the wheels when she'* all tuned, that should be high 10'*, shouldn't it? I think BADSSEi was 514 whp, 10.7'*, or somethin' like that.
