I posted before about which trans to go for, but didn't really get much of a response. I'm a high school student and part time worker, so I probably won't be able to go for a brand spanking new 3550 and spend $1300. Would going with a used t-5 suit me well enough? or would I be able to find a used tremec 3550? I don't plan on making this heavy vert. go any faster than low-mid 13's (not in the real near future neways...probably latterrr...it will take a loonnnggg time for me) so would the t-5 hold up? thanx in advance.
