Having looked into this I think we have good concept how to do it but its all academic until its actually proven to work. Resulting ratios would be pretty much like ROW S4 with 6th overdrive speed added on top and resulting theoretical top speed depending on max revs somewhere in 230-240 mph range. This would be fully syncronised street tranny which can take stock GTS hp and tq and then some. Most likely it would be stronger than GTS 5sp but maybe fell little short on what strongest 928 automatics can take. It would also use stock rear crossmember, driveshafts etc and only minimum number of non Porsche and custom parts. I think this would be very good way of doing automatic to manual conversion also. If we ever have something solid I'll post more info.
