I'm a bit surprised that the 4L80e trans seems to get overlooked by the VQ community. It has the benifits of a TH400 (same gear ratios and power holding capabilities) plus the added streetability of an overdriven 4th gear.

 

^^ +1000

 

blah, 6 speed lenco FTW

 

Yeah, but who wants all those shifting levers on a street driven Z or G?

Obviously that would be for a purpose built car and not a grocery getter.

a 4L80e is a great choice as well.

 

Yeah, a Lenco trans is certainly a great option for a drag car that is rarely street driven. But I doubt it would be a palatable alternative for the 5AT guys in the VQ community.

 

your logic seems flawed

 

The gear shifter for the 4L80e isn't that bad at least, but most still look like they belong in a truck. There is an electronic paddle shift capability available for an additional $1500.

 

jeez, transbrake FTW it seems.

single 6265 (essentially a powerlab turbo with a bigger turbine) turbo trapping 140s with 10.1s 1/4 mile in a similar weight car.

wouldnt that be something if all the powerlab guys could trap 140+.
