cont... of porsche or jakes?

ok, i started a thread in the aircooledtechnology forum, it wouldnt let me add to it so im bringing it here

http://www.germanlook.com/Forums/sho...&threadid=3176

so .....

ive read that a porsche 5 speed can acutally rob the engine in 5th gear. that the gear causes the engine to work less, which slows the fan which gets the engine hotter, in turn robing the longevity of the engine. read this on bergs site

so one could open the 5 speed and pick the rigt gears, bu thn the price to do so doubles, an now your not even to the point of modifing the suspension and pan to accept the tranny.

so now i lean toward a tranny built for my car, that fits and has a builder that will stand behind it.

did i miss something? once again, other than just to do it. why a porsche when it cost more, more involved in fabrication, and is a thorn in your engines side? why?

let the respones flow, an please correct me if any of my statements are incorrect, as im just trying to learn from you guys.
