Keep this in your subconsious for posterity. If you keep your car long enough and decide you really want to drive it like most high performance cars. You will probably end up with a audi or boxter tranny with cable shift I bet. Oooor if you keep it long enough and go with 400hp or more it will eventually get a sequential or variable speed tranny.
Course if the idea is 9inch tires Dr. Evil's solution will be a great getting it going package if you drive like a reasonable 40 year old car enthusiast. |
