None that I know of. That would require a tranny change, plus other goodies, I imagine.
Sequential shifting is a specialized racing part. Pratt & Miller I'm sure could help you out, after you're revived from fainting at the price!
Have a good one,

There is no way to "drop in" a shifting system into a car with a hydraulic clutch and manual transmission.
You could by an auto C6 with the push button system, and pretend (like most people do) that it is a sequential manual. The performance of a base C6 is very close (on paper anyway) to the C5 Z06. I'm not going to argue the reality of it.

Resonlbly priced and sequential trans ?? dont think these two words can be used in the same sentance.
x-tracs If I had to guess, $50,000 plus $40,000 in spare parts and gears

Don't know of one for a T56, but there is/was a company in Australia that made a sequential shifter for a T10 trans. It was all done via the shifter mechanism. No changes to tranny or clutch setup.

I don't know why someone can't make a reasonably priced sequential shifting system like what you find on motorcycles. I know that you're dealing with bigger engines, but how does a Hayabusa tranny handle all that power when someone puts 500 hp into one of those things?

The motorcycle manufacturer's can give you something like this and the whole package is less than $12K (the entire motorcycle). I don't know why someone couldn't build a larger version of it for a car for less than $50K?

Here's the Radical SR3 with the Hayabusa engine. It says that the tranny is a Quaife unit.

The only transmission I run is the Jerico, it has proven its reliability and
performance time and time again. Now, we're using the newest Internal
Rail shifted 5-speed and it is absolutely incredible. This is THE
transmission to have. I'm able to shift up and down as fast as I can
move my arm, and I can move pretty fast!

The C2,C3 guys can just by one.
There's a firm out there that makes a sequential shifter for the old 4speed that just bolts on.
That's just the shifter, you still need to blip the throttle on your own.
EDIT
Just to give you an idea, here's a sequential Jerico.

There is a company in Aus. that just came out with one. Have not seen it yet, but Leighton Reese told me about it last week and he was looking at it. It uses the stock housing from a C5 and that is about it. It is a sequential 6 spd. I am trying to find out more information on it now as I am also interested in it for a race car I am building here.
Thanks
