Gorgeous car and great exhaust but doesn't have the brutal acceleration of its R type big brother.

I'm a little surprised not many folks think keeping the FBO M235 and continuing to mod it is an option. For instance, put on a VTT, Pure or RB (if available) Stage 2 turbo, etc, etc. Kinda waiting for someone to talk me off the ledge hahaha.

To reiterate, I'm getting frustrated that the FBO M235i didn't turn out as quick as I hoped. Now making the choice to either go full out or cash in the chips for options 1-6.

Thanks guys! Your input is all read, considered, and valuable! For instance, starting to research the last gen Viper and C6 Z06 more.

Having had a C6 Z06, you need to know two things...

1.) A LOT of LS7's have exhaust valve guide issues from defective heads

2.) It needs better shocks, as stock it's a little sketchy.
