My 700R4 is maxed out on upgrades. It was the sinister GM powdered metal that fragged. Nothing better available. I'm done with the 700R4.
Now I have a dilemma.
Run a large bulletproof tranny like the 4l80E and risk it shifting like a pig, although there is a nice electronic tiptronic paddle shift option or find a way to integrate a Viper spec T-56 6 speed manual. Still a risk of breaking hard parts with the mighty AWD and torque of the Syclone. The engine's power band is very narrow and I would lose the trademark "air craft carrier" launch the Syclone is know for since I wouldn't be able to shift fast enough and remain in the power band.
Thinking of building another crazy unusual car or buy a cheap mazda 323 gtx, or maybe even pop for a Lotus Exige if I want to put myself into the poor house. (I hear rumors of a super charged Exige in 07. I would love the Noble M400, but that's way more than I want to spend.
