All-aluminum exhaust. 1000 lbs lighter than factory. I would have been happier if it was factory weight. There is really no bad year but 1970 was sort of GM's universal everything-looked-good that year, or at least a high percentage of cars did.

Also needs an OD trans. You know, so you can daily drive it.

Because it's a big cube Cadillac big block with a big turbo. And then you can advertise factory weight, rather than the 1000 lb weight reduction, which people will credit as a big reason the car is fast. It's fast because it has a lot of power, good suspension and aero mods. The 1000 lb weight reduction helps but it could be just as fast at factory weight (with more power obviously, which should be no problem).
