Weeelllll, have you broken a rear end yet? If not,
the Roadster rear end should be fine. Mine only
started having problems when I went past 300 RWHP.
Find a limited slip to go in there and you should be
just fine with the N/A V-6.
I went to a Ford 8.8 with 3.08 gears. Theoretical top
speed is now 178 MPH. Not sure I want to go that fast
but......
