ha leave it to GM to give you the fuel to handle high Hp and a tranny that will crack if you put your turn signal on to quickly.........
I'm just joshing though. any one who thinks the MS3 is a step up is seriously mistaken. Its a lateral movement i dont care what the fanbois say. some pros and cons trade but the same death in the end.

dewd people have ran 350wtq through these tranny and theyve been fine, plus the wheel hop situation is pretty much taken care of so if anything breaks its going to be just from sheer power

from the torque curve it looks like they arn't pushing the turbo to the max, looks like it is ECU limited. The hardest thing with this engine will be finding someone that can tune a direct injected engine, you won't be able to find higher flowing injectors easily either, so once those are at 100% flow you will likely be screwed.

To many people are getting to upset over a car that isn't even out yet. Let the car speak for it self and if it fails it fails. If it does well let it do well. For all of you people that think GM is ****, why are you here? This is a GM based site. As far as the Tranny on the current SS/SC goes, from my experience my tranny and clutch as been perfect for the last 30k and has seen plenty of track time. I can't really speak on HP power #'s for the tranny and clutch because I myself have not dyno'd the car and don't think I am pushing crazy numbers. I can't be doing to bad with the stage 2 and intake mods list. My best track time sofar is a 13.7 @ 105, 2.4 60', and at 2500' above sealevel. Since my last track time I have added a catback, 2.85" pulley, and down to about 200' above sealevel. So I am happy with what I have gotten out of the car for the money, but I didn't go into it thinking I was going to be viper hinting in the thing. The only beef that I have with the car is that it wasn't a turbo and I have alway been parshall to turbo'd cars but that is all on me because I knew that from the beginning. So I will see what the new SS will do and maybe/most likely buy one in its second year. So for all the naysayers give it chance, and if you don't like it go to your non GM board and bash the **** out of it or rip'em up on the street with your beast.
