Turbo/Performance work questions

Well, I ask because everything I see about it refers to it as the "heavy-duty Getrag 5-speed." They never fail to describe it that way... If it IS tougher, that could be one route...

It's an expensive "route." My '88 Turbo II Dodge had the Getrag "rock crusher" tranny and it is a significantly beefed up unit. Someone heard I had a Turbo II setup and offered to buy my car just for the tranny--they're so darned expensive to buy aftermarket and forget about trying to rebuild them, cost-wise.

As I told you before, renichms, I think you'll be better off getting a car that will fulfill your need for speed. May I suggest:

I disagree somewhat. Things have changed sigificantly since those old TurboII days, and I am sure the price of the Getrag is much more resonable. Take a look at how resonable the complete engine is from Chrysler, even Bob was amazed at the 'new' pricing.
Personally, I am also going to look out for that tranny when it becomes available... Hey, that SRT-4 would make a nice winter beater too

Guess I missed that post, Brad. What is the pricing of the new turbo 2.4 engine?

People generally get the wrong ideas from comments like this but... cost is not important. I can come up with the money or find someone who will, now or later on in the future. Eventually, the car will have everything I want done to it...whether sooner or later is up in the air now.

I'm hoping to finish the car by early next summer.
