If DLM is so great, then why can't he break 10 seconds in a 1/4 mile to save his life (with Doug Levin driving)... when a car with that HP should be turning low 7's with ease? Ask him why Doug left the stock tranny and rearend on a 1,000 HP when they are only rated to less than 600 HP? Ask him how easily the car handles under full throttle while the chassis is twisting in the wind like a pretzel?
In a car with an engine of that magnitude, he should have at minimum a Lenco or Quaife transmission and a Halli
brand adjustable 4-link suspension with chassis stiffiners all over the place.
this was from a discussion on

As for the supra tranny thats what was told to me by many i mean MANY supra owners and tuners. That the stock getrag six speed tranny the same one thats on the nissan skyline R34 GTR Vspec II is VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY strong and can handle upwards of 1200hp but anymore than that it needs a new one.
Again I can be wrong.
Also i was wondering how much hp did your supra make with the GT2835 twin turbo set up on pump gas (91-93 octane) and at what PSI? i might go with that setup thats why im just wondering.
Just because Getrag made the Skyline and Supra transmissions doesn't mean they are the same. Especially since the Skyline GTR is AWD. Last I checked they were not the same. And the RWD Skyline GTS is a 5spd...
