Anyone else with a 700+-capable trans suffers the same fate...SIZE-PACKAGING.
You can build all manner of hp., but you can only USE 650 lb-ft. And TORQUE is what launches these cars. So with Torque Management ONLY fully functional on AWD and/or Dual Clutch/Automatic transmissions, there's a mechanical issue EVERYONE must address...including folks "dreaming" of 750+ hp Top Fool engines...
Time...and of course MONEY...IF EVER!

You'd do well to follow LD's posts. I'm sure he'd be unimpressed if you do. BUT you might actually learn some FACTUAL things.
