Big Valley's Evo X is NOT an SST. MRs are not even out yet.

its not pointless when you have a car that spin completely 1st and 2nd and all you guys know vettes and vipers pull away at high speeds. Dont veer the thread off course and you dont know my brother either so dont hate. Not everyone has the same cars as us with the same strenghts and weaknesses. You apparently dont have anything important to say in this thread so your writing here is not needed.

People already answered your question though. The MR isn't really out yet and no one knows the strengths and weakness of the SST tranny. The GSR however aside from a clutch replacement will work great as any manual tranny. On another note why if someone spins their tires all the way up to 100mph would I agree to roll off 100 with them? I never got that...off the line or nothing, it is a roll right after the launch if you think about it anyways. If we reach 100+ then so be it. ...just sounds silly to me.

why? because thats the way he wants it to be so if people wanted to race with him it would be at that kinds of speed up to 160. Now he does those kinds of rolls and also low speed ones because he has awd in the audi but i was just stating that he will have to understand that evo will not be the same way since its aerodynamics are not the best. I understand your point If me and him would have the cars close to each other i would be like hey from the dig or 5 mph roll bro, take it or leave it.

Um ok cool. Though I don't think it is the EVOs aerodynamics that effect the car's top end. As long as you got your question answered it is all good.

I dont think the trans itself would have issues handling the power. the problem comes in at the twin clutches. Those most def wont handle a doubling in power output. Where as the gsr X might be better suited for him due to the ability to upgrade the clutch already. (I am fairly certain there is an ACT out for the X already, someone correct me if I am wrong please)

oh and the diffs are a WORLD different in the X compaired to the 9. WAY different. just look at some of the pics vendors have out showing their exhaust systems and look at the rear diff, then take a look under yours. The x is about 3 times as large.

Tell him to buy a bus pass because he sounds too stupid to own a performance car.

He can be the queen of France for all I care; that doesn't make him any less of an idiot. If he knew how to drive, he wouldn't be driving like that on public highways. Period.
