G-Machine question..... - Lateral-g Forums

It's seems like most pro touring, and G-machine rides have a manual tranny. Is it like a "requirement" to have a manual. Or has anyone seen a nice machine with like an auto 4 speed??

Are manuals required - absolutely not!

Jody is building a Twin Turbo 69 Camaro with a 4L80E and he's going to use a Shrifter paddle shifter setup.

Check out the website for the Shrifter here: TwistMachine.com

that's pretty tight there. different too. I was looking at like a hurst or B&m ratchet shifter. That's probably more for drag racing though huh??

PADDLE SHIFTER!!!!!! The next best thing to manual. That is until I get to try one myself.

I have autos in both of my cars, but after the first time that you get stuck in cross town traffic on the 10 freeway and it take 2 and a half hours to drive 15 miles, you to will want an auto trans.

But if I live without traffic I would love one.

A manual is NOT required.. although my current ride will have one just to be different from my last car..
