C6 trans has worm drive gears, and not the strongest for banging gears in when converted over to act like a sequential trans.


Sounds like you are thinking sequential trans system with straight cut gears that will hold up to the pounding, and your not going to get there with a C6 auto trans.

Here is a sequential trans in a C6, and instead of using a stick, it's shifted by hydraulics via wheel levers instead. Also to note, the engine will blip is self on up shifts and down shiftss, so in a full tilt boggy forward, you just hold the pedal to the floor. leave the clutch alone, and hit the shifter (which will blip the throttle so the trans can shift up with ease as shown at 2:05 in the video).

Don't know of any that would fit.

C6R and C7R use the Xtrac sequential with paddle shifters, about $40k (ish):

Nice Vid! Sweet sound going through the gears! Hadn't seen that one, thanks for posting.

BTW, my A6 sounds almost as good........

The funny part, a Sequential will shift a lot faster than that, and guessing that they still have some shifter linkage and throttle blimp work to do to quicken up the shifts times (the 2:05 part of the video).

Take a Enzo and it's shift time is 150ms, while the shift time in a Veyron is 8ms instead.

Money to excess can buy anything really fast....or shift really fast.
