Please not that there are different versions of the ZF8HP. If you wanna tune the engine, you need to know what variant the ZF8 is and how much torque it is capable to work with.It's the same ZF8 allegedly
I like the video too and yes, I really do understand why you guys want to have a manual option. But I was ROFLOL when he compared a faster shifting automatic with instant coffee ;DGreat video! Thanks for sharing. God I love Porsche's....they look and drive like real race cars right off the showroom floor.
I thought it was a good analogy though no?...lol.I like the video too and yes, I really do understand why you guys want to have a manual option. But I was ROFLOL when he compared a faster shifting automatic with instant coffee ;D
Everybody hates 1st gear, all that trauma from learning to drive stick causes PTSD. Not to mention launching with multiple disk clutchesI thought it was a good analogy though no?...lol.
I do agree with the video that every gear shift in a manual is unique....and has it's own "character." This is so true....and I even have gears that I love and hate on my car own car....lmao.

Iām doing the same with my AT just to save energy+1
I Slow down before I hit traffic with the hope that it will move before I come to a complete stop just to avoid going to gear 1. fun times.
I guess you havenāt driven a manual or one with multiple disks... I have three cars at the moment with multiple disk clutches and they are typically easier to launch if not the same as the stock clutch.Everybody hates 1st gear, all that trauma from learning to drive stick causes PTSD.

For me it's not so much take off....but the short time in first gear. Has alot to do with my rear ends ratio more than anything. I can stay in 1st longer, but the whine and feel of the transmission with the upshift to second is garbage. 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th is where I usually am most of the time and the shifts are swiss watch smooth.Everybody hates 1st gear, all that trauma from learning to drive stick causes PTSD.

Yup! Especially for high HP cars, the lower gear ratio is key and better driveability in each gear. For NA cars or lower HP cars, the higher gear ratio makes the car feel quicker, but your in and out of gears alot....at least on my setup. I got Z33 rear diff conversion mounts to get a lower ratio rear-end (350/370 Z) when I go with a different trans. My goal will be to get in the same gear ratio range as the MKIV Supra's setup...good acceleration from the high HP, but great top speed and longer time in each gear. We'll see how that works out...The first gear in my A70 is awful.. the R154 with 3.91 rear end is a great combo, but 1st gear is so short that it's obnoxious. The 3.73 rear ends help, but then you have even longer gears for everything else.
Used to hop into my buddy's R33 GTR, and his 1st gear was soooo much better.
My V8 swapped 86 is using the stock transmission with a twin disk FX725. It is considerably worse getting it moving from a stop than the previous organic clutch I had. 1st gear is practically useless even with a taller 3.73 rear end. At least it holds the power. I have daily driven that thing for almost 1 year and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Can't wait to throw that transmission out for a T56.I guess you havenāt driven a manual or one with multiple disks...
