Awesome! However, I must object to the fact that neither of these alleged "supercars" have real transmissions. Unless that is some sort of sequential shifter in the middle of the Challenger.

TX: nope, Gerry Anderson's "Supercar" ... google it. I remember watching the show (and all his other 60s stuff as a kid -Fireball XL-5, Captain Scarlet, etec)

They're probably just automatic.

 

My extremely biased mind does not compute automatic transmissions as real transmissions. I much prefer a standard gearbox. Not that I hate automatics or anything, it's just that I like to see manual shifters and clutch pedals in cars as nice as those ones are. :yes:

I hate automatic - always searching for the gearstick and stepping on the break (thinking it's the clutch) :biggrin: - horrible!

And I don't like the car deciding when to shift...

 

BTW. Am I the only one thinking "KITT" looking at the pictures?

Actually, technology is a wonderful thing.....and.....it's been around for some time. I used to have an 442 that had a his/her's shifter and it worked quite well. Today, My Charger R//T has near the same thing. The old Slapstick.

I can use a DiabloSports Predator tool( http://www.diablosport.com/ ) to change the shift points, rpm, and many things. IMHO, it's better and faster then any clutch. Not that I don't like it old school, but technology has come a long way.
