fast and furious all over again

[30thSSclone]

I was looking at some of the specs and found this....it is going to be like the freakin fast and furious gear boxes lol

[blackbirdws6]

C7 shift knob? Looks pretty nice.

[BaddAss93TA]

7-Speed.

The new porsches are doing this as well. I see no issues with it? :shrug:

[Badbird_96]

Mercedes has had 7spds for the past 10 years or longer.

Atleast the still offer a real manual and not some paddle shift crap.

7-speed manuals? Really? I know the 7-speed auto has been around for quite some time.

[Badbird_96]

I maybe mistaken and it may be an auto but I was thinking it was a manual. If so then I retract my previous comment lol

top speed=warp speed

Ludicrous speed.

Unreal i want to drive one just to see if it's even usable at a moderate speed because my 6th gear was worthless until i put 4.30 gears in it

[MeanTA]

won't it still be a double OD. just a extra gear going to 1.00 5th gear?

That's what Im assuming.

I'm curious what you consider "usable" to be lol. Hell I use my 6th gear any time I'm cruising at a speed above 45 to squeak some better mileage out of it while driving around town. Doesn't really have a lot of acceleration power till after about 70, but I still find it "usable" with stock 3.42s lol.

With 3.42 gears my car was horrible in 6th gear id have to be going 80 or faster just to use it i need to be above 2500 rpm at a cruising speed or it bucks and chugs like all hell like your trying to take off in 5th gear off idle haha even when it was stock i hardly ever used 6th with the 4.30 i can use it as long as im going 70/75.

Ludicrous speed.


They've gone to Plaid...

[LT1RUNNER]

is a 7 speed necesary?

[30thSSclone]

7 speed with my 2,73's would be insane

[Badbird_96]

They've gone to Plaid...

Yes someone got it lol

[CamaroGirl]

You know when I tell people I have a 6 speed they be all like, "WHOA RLY?"
Jebus. Wait till they hear this.

[meissen]

If you think 7 speeds are a lot, just wait... :notme: :shh: ;)


Seriously though - just wait. :lol:

[casey20000007]

Interesting, I've never experienced that in mine, but mine's also still bone stock. Hell I shift at 2000 rpms to keep gas mileage up (1-4-6 in city, 1-4-5-6 on highway) :whistle:.

Please, do tell! :hail:

Chrysler already has an 8 speed auto. the Cherokees get them next year. Lexus was the first one I know of to come out with the 7 speed auto. that was about 10 years ago.

Porsche was the first to have the 7 speed manual here in the US to the best of my knowledge. I know I could certainly use a 7th gear in my Audi. Cruising at 85 it tacs a little high. A lot of guys actually open up the trans in the S4/RS4s and swap the 6th gear out to bring down their highway RPMs

I was totally thinking the very same thing LOL
