I just object to the term Jap axles. Not every Jap axle is better than a 951 axle, I have seen lots break on EVO's etc without huge HP as well... it comes down the the stress on the launch.

umm whoever said this thing can't trap 130 is living in la la land. I know air has quite a effect but, whats the elevation level at the track you are running?
ST's car here in texas would trap 135mph+ and run low 11's. Considering a z oh' weighs 3100 only makes 450ish hp and will trap 125+ here easily.
St's car is 10's on dr's with good driving and good conditions. Atleast here at sea level it is.

I saw a 930 at pomona at "street drags day" run in the 9's. It looked like he did a soft launch too. I'd never believe it, in fact had a hard time believing it when I saw it, but I saw it with my own eyes so we'll see what happens.

I think at this point, it's about time someone came up with a plausible and relatively inexpensive tranny solution for these cars. IMO, there's not much point to spending all that time, money, and effort building something up if there is still a weak link that prevents you from even being able to beat on the car. $10-18k for an aftermarket transaxle is NOT a realistic option for most people IMO.

Like I said in an earlier post, there is a lot more to take into consideration besides weight and hp to make one of these cars run a fast 1/4 time with a high mph. I have had a couple of them, trust me.
