Dat roof scoop.

It's a 250 crank hp 6 speed sequential and 1080kg according to R3 class rules. Should be fun.

Its a customer available car...

R3 cars are around 80-100k euros usually (ds3, clio r3 etc...)

FIA prices ftw...

I would guess it is an off the shelf racing gearbox ...

I was talking about walking into a Scion dealer and being able to choose between manual, sequential, or automatic transmissions.

Sequential gearboxes are remarkably high-maintenance items. A Porsche GT3 Cup Car owner I met at the track said the maintenance interval on his is 50-hours, and that it's essentially an inspection and refresh of the entire gearbox. Serious money, coming and going.

Ouch. Didn't know that.

When I raced Formula Continental, we had to rebuild the gearboxes after every race.

Yes, I assumed that. But they don't make one so a race box is the only chance; for quite a long time I imagine.

The thing that sucks is you cant get a sequential if you have a shark fin antenna.

Bullshit!
