Default HELP NEEDED: Automatic Transmission for High HP/Torque LS7/Z06 Track Car

I've a friend driving a 2010 911 Turbo track only car. He's thinking of getting into a purpose built Z06 or a car like the C6, LS7 powered DRM RTR car. He wants about 600 hp at the wheels with corresponding torque. Weight target will be below 3,000 lbs.

Problem is due to a physical ailment to his left leg he can't drive a standard (i.e., can't use a clutch). Does anybody build an automatic, preferably paddle shift which will bolt up to a LS7 drivetrain and handle the power mentioned above.

I'm familiar with the EMCO sequential shift transmission but he would prefer an auto.

TIA

Rick

RPM Transmissions builds the autos for the Mongoose GTP replica. I believe they actually have a car with an LS7 mated to a 6 speed transaxle.

Aaron Quine on this forum drove some of their cars for them.
