Should be cool, with a 7 speed box and the semi or full auto shifting, it'd be pretty frigging fast.

Well except that Michaels car has a real clutch and pressure plate etc not a torque converter...I think my mothers old mini-van has one of those, and I am pretty sure my good buddy Lobo doesn't even know what one is.

Bottom line is he has buttons. Implementation doesn't matter.

The problem with my pace on the track, isn't the efficiency of my transmission I wish that was what was holding me back. I would say this applies to 90% of people at HPDEs also.
