Hell, I even picked the power adder that was most suited to not having to mess with it ( add a converter) etc. If they offered a bullet proof manual with a perfect clutch, I probably would have chosen it instead.
Pretty much this.

If the mt82 wasn't such a piece of shit compared to the 6R80, I might have gone with it.

Just the fact is that the 6R80 is so much better than the mt82 I couldn't see buying a car knowing it had a piece if shit trans.

No new shifter, bushings, hoses, clutch, etc.... You shouldn't have to dump thousands into a trans to make it work or hold power.

I love this site, but I really hate seeing comments similar to this one so frequently. Must we constantly reiterate the fact these cars are complete shit compared to 1000 hp cars? Most production cars can't hold a candle to our cars much less a 1000 hp one.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

There is some pretty cool races being talked about and I haven't been out in awhile so I'm considering it. I know there was a decent turnout last week from some of the DR group, but not many Stangers. I need to get out and attempt to be social again. After all this rain going for a drive sounds like a nice needed break.

I was going to, but my plans got changed for me. I didn't have much say in it.

I love the cool weather, its WAY better than that insane heat we get here in Texas. It's not miserably cold yet, but I'm sure that will be here before long. I hope to make it out Friday night because this weekend is filled with family stuff again.
