It’s fine. Not criticizing. I questioned it myself when I first heard it too. I am gonna upgrade some stuff inside before actually driving it. The Chevy version uses aluminum shift forks, the viper version uses forged steel. Gonna switch to those, maybe 200-300 bucks. As well as upgrade the synchros and possibly even a gear swap, the LS version has a real low 1st gear,3 something to 1, the ford and dodge versions have a 2.66:1. Little bit taller. The rest of the gear ratios are pretty much the same.
