I've got the V8 bug, and I've been lurking Hybrid. Loads of info here, but the one concern I have doesn't return much in the search.
What's the silkiest manual transmission for a light-V8 s30?
I'm planning a relaxed V8, no high output goals, maybe 200-300bhp? 'Cause V8s are fun even at low speed. Something reliable, light, with EFI, Probably an LTx, but I've been eyeing some LSx rolling chassis.
But will the t-56 cut it for shift quality? If the power is low enough, are there silkier reliable options, z32, supra? Is a Tremec TKO an improvement on shift feel?
If it's going to shift like a truck-like Sunbird GT, or clunky 99 Mustang shifter, then I'm pulling the plug right now.
(Will test drive every manual v8 I can, as soon as I get back to the States.)
