The 3160 should be a little smoother than the 6060 but it gives up strength for weight. Max input torque is only up to 405 lb ft.

Whereas the 6060 is rated up to 650 lb ft. It's strange that they sourced a tranny that's rated less than the max tq of the engine? Anyway, Tremec is a
reputable brand, so that's a plus.

back to the Oil consumption,
This engine is happier being driven harder than easier. Higher temperatures, more metal expansion, tighter sealing and less oil usage. K.ind of like SR22,s that leaked fuel until they were at full cruising in the air at mach 5.
And there is some anecdotal evidence posted in various threads on other forums that some owners see less oil consumption tracking the car then putzing around town so there may be something to this theory. My own experience seems to point to a similar outcome - it seems the easier I drive this car the more oil it consumes.

Haha maybe. Who knows, you might be on to something. Anyway, enough of bashing your car. You're obviously enjoying it and I wish you a trouble-free ownership.
