Your last thread when you when low 9's was badass enough, but this is insane!
Congrats again OP, not only is it quicker than hell but it is super clean and looks incredible.

I have a Q...

I was talking with my pops about this car and we recognize the "slower" shifts were likely because you're trying to save the trans. But we were curious why a t56 was chosen and not anything stronger?

Driveability?

I've powershifted this tranny only a few times and when doing it at 7500 rpm on a single synchro trans, the tranny did not enjoy it by any means. We knew the car had it in it with the shifts as is, and shifting a car doing a 1.23 60 foot with that much load on the tranny is not as easy as powershifting a t5 on street tires.

As for tranny choice, it is a viper t56 and from the research I did before hand that was the strongest choice before upgrading to a Gforce gearset etc etc.
