This doesn't relate so much to a GT40 build directly, yet an overall car-building question.
With all things being equal, what options are there for a mid-engine, V8 powered vehicle (not to exceed 450hp) and a *6spd* transaxle? Assume that the chassis would be designed around the engine/trans combo, so the spacing isn't as big of a deal as trying to fit a engine/trans into pre-defined space.
I've heard mention of the Getrag 6spd (audi?) and the p-car 6spd (what years?) but is there anything else that is cost-effective? I'd rather not dump 20K on a sequential box or anything like that /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Worst case, I will have to use one of the audi-boxes in my test, but I was really wanted to get the 6spd in.
Thanks
