I love my 5AT, but I am lazy. I get tired playing in manual mode after about 5 minutes and I have the Stillen VB upgrade.

Well it works well with the upgraded horsepower my SC puts out. Shifts quicker and smoother no "floating" shift, manual mode is snap quick. I would say it shifts in a little less than half the time of the regular tranny does. I love it. I mainly did it to extend the life of the trans after the sc mod, I knew the trans was the weak link in the drive line and I figured I would do what I could to beef it up. Well worth the $1500, but a serious PIA to ship and wait for it to return.

I don't know, man. A couple years ago, Car & Driver got a 14.4@96mph out of G35X.

I know one thing, I don't worry about Auras, new Malibus, or even the new CTS because they're all higher 14 second rides. On average, my mostly stock G is about .6 seconds quickers and 4 to 5mph faster.
