Would be nice but that would push the price up to 56k and more and then wont pass cali state ref. Might as well get a GTR at that point... Problem with GTR is it's a 7k break job when you do them and 2k trans oil change.

Not really, my Getrag V160 in my supra holds 600 TQ no problem.... Guys are doing over 1300 WHP on them too believe it or not! They are an animal of a transmission. Testament to German engineering. Also there are many turbo diesel trucks they could have pulled a 6 spd out of.

There are quite of few cherry VERY low milage 996TT's out there for sale, some still under extended warraty.
The d as good as it is around town you probably will not be as happy at the track with it, great auto tranmission but not the best suited for the track. JMHO. The e90 M3 is nice but I was mildly disappointed with the engine as a daily driver. The car really has to be rung out at the track. Hence why I went with the d, since 99.9% of time is spent driving around town.

I don't disagree the 996 is reliable, but there are a few issues, and it's a 10 year old car is what I'm getting at for reliability. An 08 335 is 3 years old and usually still under warranty. Very few 996's still have warranty. Warranty only matters to me on things like the 2nd gear pop out issue.
Thanks for the replies guys.
How about adding bigger injectors and upping the boost on a Diesel? I'm sure you guys could make quite a bit more power along with some propane injection!
