You've read the clutch is smooth?
It's pedal feel is non existent with the spring Chuck mentioned and the transmission is clunky too... It's really is one of the worst manuals... Take ing the spring out makes it a lot better, but still not a manual I like

Nah. I've had worse. Granted, they were in trucks.

Actually, the Viper I drove was pretty rough as well. I think transmissions that can hold serious power tend to be clunky. You learn to live with it.

500-550WHP isn't serious hp IMO, Supra is easier to drive IMO and they'll take more than our trannys! Lol


That's neither here not there... But I definitely don't like the manual. But I definitely think that the 7AT is one of the best that's not in an exotic car

Nobody's broken the tranny yet due to power, have they? We don't know where it lets go. The Supra Getrag wasn't the smoothest thing in the world either if I remember correctly.

Who has broken the auto that everyone always says it takes hp not torque, and not to boost in 5-7 because those gears cannot handle the power, lol

I think there's a lot of speculation everywhere, but yes, for forced induction, the MT IS better for sure
