how many people boost the Z and stick with a stock clutch?

the fact is not many if any stick with the stock clutch. your only point of MT v AT is cost to get to a 500tq strength. with 10-15k in a turbo build another 1-3k in transmission upgrades is just part of the process.

it's really a moot point being that when doing a turbo build you will have supporting mod costs.

in the end boosting a Z then upgrading either transmission to the same strength will result in them being equal. maybe a difference cost but as far as a unit they are equal. therefore the AT which is better stock v. stock will still be better upgraded v. upgraded.
