Nice ride.
I'm curious....the Aisin transmission you mention is rated at 260ft lbs. I'm guessing the small block V8 is putting out substantially more than that. Any mods done to beef that up? You also mention a 3.93 rear gear. Is it also a stock Solstice part? How strong is it?

Here's a car and driver review that answers some of those questions.
