From what I read the new 8 speed auto can handle big power. So can the M6 if you can cough up the $8K for clutch and diff upgrades. I was pushing 625-650RWHP in my last 1LE. I drag race often. Everything broke but the transmission. Even though the 1LE had a stronger M6 than the standard SS your transmission should be fine @ 625 RWHP. But be prepared to spend more if you actually use that power.

On both CA6es you will need to beef up the suspension too.
