[QUOTE="Ry_Trapp0, post: 14658086, member: 27761"] no, fiat offers a $13,500 optional gimmick transmission that isn't needed. the Z28 and GT350 don't have a dog ring boxes, face plated boxes, any of this because they don't need it and it would only hurt streetability while insignificantly affecting lap times(if at all). we have fully synchronized transmissions available today that are capable of living behind 7000+RPM, 500+lb-ft engines. look up what transmissions are used in the boss 302R and S, and the Z28.R race cars that run in the continental tire sports car challenge series GS class and pirelli world challenge GTS class. in fact, check out any of the cars running in those series, as well as the lower classes(GT in PWC and GTD in TUSCC is 100% racing specialized sequentials), you're not going to find anything other than synchronized H-patterns, be it in a mustang, aston martin, 911 or cayman, M3, whatever. oh, except for the kia optima in PWC GTS that has dominated the class lately, that's the only car in the class with a specialized(I.E., not production based) sequential gearbox. yes, the series allows kia to bring in a factory program and the rules have been massaged to allow their FWD family hauler turd to outrun porsche caymans and aston martin vantages. but, point being, no dog rings. now sprint cup cars use dog box transmissions, but that's more so because they're required to use a trans whose basic design was penned in the 1950s.
