Do you have any in car video of the gearbox shifting yet? Interested to hear what it sounds like inside the cabin with the PPG/Pfitnzer gear box.

Will have some next week in the orange car! I didn't get any of the blue car :(

How "streetable" is this trans ? Impressive to say the least

[J TNT]

That's a very slick set up ! And No Lift shifts is a great feature ! :)
Thanks for sharing.

THIS!
:drive:

[socal]

What is its approximate service interval?

[ViperPete]

Wow! Can't wait to see some in car vids too! Great work!

[Antonio@CalvoMotorsports]

Thank you! should have some killer vids next week!

[socal]

Any news on this?

[johnnybravo]

He has TONS of videos up on his Facebook page. That sequential trans is truly incredible. Finger-touch upshifts and downshifts. According to the logs, the shifts are only like 50 milliseconds or something crazy. I'm sure he'll post links on here, but I've been following all of his videos on Facebook. It's worth checking out. Not clunky, slow or loud in the cabin at all. Looks pretty effortless and every bit as fast as an automatic from what I can tell.

Going to upload tonight and post here!

The only downside appears to be the dump truck sized shifter, but I bet with just a little fabrication something stock looking can be put in its place. From the videos I've seen it looks like a nice product.

[socal]

Only see two vids on FB. Craving more...

When I see a tall push/pull shift lever in a road race car, I know it probably means business. I've seen some Porsches with a similar setup, and nicely tailored alcantara shift boots that make it look quite tidy.

Just waiting on a 4k upload from you tube......Sometime this century!

[Antonio@CalvoMotorsports]

Clutch what clutch? Drive By Wire throttle blip down shifts and all sorts of up shifts :) I will say it's like driving a gtr trans in a viper.....Best money I have spent on the car without a doubt.

Badass setup keep up the good work guys!

Man I want one too. Driving a ACR around a track with that trans would be amazing! I wonder how many seconds you would shave per lap. I think at least 2.

[docwviper]

Agreed, tell us cost and what's involved for the install.

[Antonio@CalvoMotorsports]

The transmissions built and installed are $18,000. You either need a closed loop shift cut for 600 or the end all be all of ECU's our custom Motec package.

What is the expected service interval on this?

I have put 1000 street miles on mine so far in the last 2-3 weeks with 2 track nights. I am pulling my motor this week for cam and dry sump so I am interested in how it looks after that. I am at my 1250whp pump gas setting so it will be interesting to see after next few events at 1800 how it holds up.

I saw it run and it looked awesome going down the track, firing flames on the shifts. A 9.50 GTR ran a couple cars before you and it really gave a great comparison between their shift speeds and your shift speeds, they looked identical. I am sure actual shift speed is different but watching them both go down the track it looked crazy quick. Sick viper and can't wait to see it again go down the track.

Those passes would have destroyed a 9.5 ;) 127 in the 1/8 still 8 lbs of boost to go! Installing our solid cam and dry sump this weekend. We did notice oil pressure stays low till about 80mph then goes up to once the car levels out. I want to get 3-4 1/8 mile passes with 1.3X 60 60't then nail it the whole way. The track said if I break 150 once I'm not allowed back until cage and chute.

What dry sump setup are you going to use?

[Vprbite]

I think this thing is cool. I mean twist my nipples while I watch it level cool.

Awesome.

[Disturbed]

Give the Lambo's hell. Now if you just put a good seat in with proper adjustability I'm in. PM sent with email

[docwviper]

Does it rev match on down shifts?
