Does any one use the TC-SST for racing?

Hello

I am interested in going racing in the near future, I was just wondering if anyone uses the 6spd TC-SST for road racing or drag racing? How does it hold up? Is it indeed faster than the manual? any information will be greatly appreciated!

it does shift a lot faster than a regular manual transmission cars. formula 1 cars use paddle shifting, i also think le mans cars use auto stick

From what I've read, it's prone to overheating.

I think there's a few companies that make a special cooler for it, AMS comes to mind.

Remove fogs to create unrestricted air inlet to trans. See Vorshlag's write up. Great car for road course if you're looking for the type of electronic support that makes a good driver turn great times.

I recommend the puller fan as well. Consider a flush and filter ahead of schedule but that's anecdotal at this time.
