Even though I don't track my Hawk (for now), I figured I would ask some of you race guys what you use in the tranny (M6) and rear (4.10 10-bolt) of your cars.

I'm going to change all of my fluids in the next week or so and have used Redline in the past with pretty good results but have been considering Royal Purple.

Any suggestions?

In my old LS1 and my current LT1, I generally use Red Line D4 in the manual trannies and Red Line 75w90NS in the rear end to help the weak posi's work. It just so happens that the LT1 M6 currently has Amsoil Synthetic ATF in it, but is is because I had a bunch of it laying around... I've had no problems with the Amsoil, but I will be getting Red Line for the next tranny change (which will be soon).

I'd be interested in other road racer's opinions in the gear oil - should I be going thicker?
