Yep with that much power traction is a bitch. The only reason to get more power then that is to hit the highway and do some pulls. Its not all about 1/4 mile lol , what about roll ons. Oh wait i must not speak of street racing 
. Imo cobras are one of the sickest cars lol. Damn this thread went off topic. Need updates on swap please

yes 40g with the car .. but think about this ... i live in europe so .. il give you an example from where i stand, I can buy from germany an rx8 with lots of miles coz only the engine wears out (the roads there are perfect) i can buy it for 10k euros with a working engine and all the options i can just drive it around (not like a mad man) till it breaks and it will and then drop 10k more in it and swap it to a good 2jz engine (no mods) so 300 bhp at first few minor tweaks and tunes and ur in the 400 range for the price of a used good condition RX8 and u have the "reliable as the sun" toyota engine ... install a 2step and scare ppl shitless. As a every day car you cant drive the rotary engine like its meant to be driven, you need to rev it and keep momentum to get any kind of speed and fun but when ur in the city or outside the city there no fun to be had coz u will stop and break a lot so if u had a monster 2jz u'l be more than happy to stop and break coz you can spool that **** back up and get pushed back in the seat.

hi,ciobulus Maybe your astra or your diesel VW or green car run good with a CVT unit, but here we're taking about 980 real RWHP @10200 RPM does you inmagine what happen when it apply all that's RWHP to your CVT

If that is boring to you..... I guess now we all now have extremly high expectations of your supercar coming up. Cant wait to your project finish so you can delight us with your nonboring transmission. Cant wait...

To each their own... I personally dont like shift tronic/auto trannies because i feel less involved when driving. Thats just me though , id rather have a 6 or 5 speed gearbox with a short shifter on it . When i get a little older ill think about auto trannies lol . Or when traffic gets really bad

everything is good its just a matter of perspective .. some like to grab the shift **** and ram it in gears like a bad *** mother ****** and some like to watch the revs go up and down while the car is moving in a smooth and amazing way. i like teh stick coz its another way to control the car from your body No wonder bikers have so much fun and love to just ride anywhere any pretext any day any time ... they just love it because they control every movement of that bike with the body and the mind ... not the mind of a german who made a new drive between the lines autopilot and 10 ms auto manual shiftmegatropix and the new just enter the car stfu and watch some commercials while i get you where u want to be. u dont see ppl getting the auto girlfriend ****** coz they want to do it themself's . Thats just my opinion and some ppl like both .. If u like both then ask the guy sitting next to you in the car to **** for you, i allways do that with my friends and we are used to it like even drag racing from stop signs while eating )
