curious to know why you would do all those mods even get a TT engine, but purchase a getrag fwd ...?

Daveslow is at Purdue. I think there are a few guys out there actually. I went there myself and go down every now and then since I'm an alumni advisor for my fraternity. Beta Theta Pi.

I got a TT engine because I blew my NA engine and got a deal on a TT Engine and all the parts for the conversion. They dont make a Getrag FWD. Its an AWD tranny converted to FWD and its because its way stronger than my NA transmission. I had to make it that way. I really dont feel like adding another 600lbs to my car for all the awd parts and having to share my HP with 4 wheels instead of two. Plus its nice to be different. Hope that answeres your question

As far as I see it I didnt sacrifice anything. It would have cost me a lot more time and money to go awd and its just not worth it to me. I would have just bought an AWD if I felt it was that much better. BTW the one of the fastest 3s's in the world is FWD

yea this is all racing though im more practical daily driving kind of stuff, like exit ramps going 65 top of 2nd gear you know...

Venom13132 · 09-01-2006, 01:25 AM

well i have the same gear ratio and i have the same suspension. Ive drivin both. Im not saying one is better than the other. There are good arguments for either. But I like the setup I have and it was practicle for me for getting my HP goals
