Thread: GTP, GTP Comp G, or GT Supercharged

If you want the ultimate you get a 97-03 gt, and do a genV top swap

Ive raced a compG from a roll, tapshift sucks.

Get an 03. You could get lucky enough and find one without factory installed ABS and TCS bull****, wont have to worry about changing out hubs every few months. Plus with the 03 you get the hardened 4th shaft, unlike the 97-02, but they only come in a 4 door in 03, which doesnt matter, because the 97-03 looks better than any 04+.

Heh...still looking into swapping throttle bodies on those...with maybe a LSx TB

My regular Automatic will hold the gear to redline too...only one it'll shift out of is first...If I hold it in 2...it'll peg it. Just like a TAPShift...minus the BS LOL

the tap shift aint really ment for manual shifting either. every time i do it and drive the car hard, the tranny starts sliping. tap shift is a tranny killer

Drive a ferrari then tell me that

let the tranny do all the work. your just slowing its normal persedures down.

there was a guy with an srt8 charger. it has sport shift (you shift yourself). with mods and in sport shift the best he could manage was 13.3. later on he just left it in drive and went 13.0. the tranny knows what its doing, just let it do it.

The only thing that manual controls on a manumatic tranny should be used for is maneuvering. Taking twisty curves you want to hold gears longer than the tranny might normally want to. For straight line performance leave it in D.
