Stock, possibly no, but it is likely a beefed up OEM transmission. ST class is meant to use much of the original car. The Irish Mike's Genesis' were running stock mechanics (read: just ECU changes) drivetrain from airbox to exhaust tip.

I can't seem to find a build rulebook (just the generic one). Ernie, do you know if those are made public?

If they raced the car in Pirelli then they would only have to go 40 minutes which would solve much of the reliability issue. The SkullCandy Nissan Altimas just switched to Pirelli and they are much more competitive there than they were in Conti ST. I would be surprised if anyone in ST is getting 300HP out of their engines. I read an article in Road and Track or GRM a couple years ago where they were reviewing a competitive ST car and it was producing under 250HP. I don't think they have advanced to 300HP in just a couple years. I suppose I could be wrong but that seems to run contrary to the cost containment philosophy type of racing that these classes are known for.

Sounds like straight cut gears to me.

Also sounds like a Twin Screw SC is equipped. Innovate? I wonder if the infamous heat soak was causing issues with power delivery? Or that tip in knock specific to the Innovate SC that some tuners were previously having issues with could have eaten up the DI seals. Just guessing now since RRR will probably never release info about their reliability issues.

Of course maybe they changed the rules or they were blowing smoke after loosing to some Miatas? (this was after the race at MRLS in 2013)

I would guess that the torqueyness might have to do with no emissions requirements, little noise requirements, much shorter required lifespan, substantially reduced weight, customized gearing, 100 octane fuel, etc.

They told me it was a stock tranny, but with a short shift kit. It was very nice to shift though.
