Most of the X-Cars are Autos. Of the original four, mine was the only manual (the only convertable too for that matter). We've since added more manuals to the X ranks, but the autos are way out ahead in numbers. In some ways the auto is better prepped to handle the torque the "X" lays down. (yes, that's the kick in the seat when you push the pedal to the floor). The Auto V6 has the same tranny as the GT, and can handle the increased output well. The manual guys will almost certainly have to look at installing an upgraded performance clutch eventually.

So you guys really like the X-Charger huh? I hear the best benefits of it is the low end torque. Basically that's the take-off right? Do any of the X-guys have an auto? I'm wondering how the take-off is with the auto, since I have an auto.

Yea I saw the pics and figured as much, I just like to ask things twice to be sure.

Now, don't let the X-Men fool you... The Vortech is just as comfortable on the street as it is the strip! Now they talk a good game about low end torque... but the fact is I've got a better 60' with my Vortech and very similar setup (actually the X-charger car had better tires! LOL!)
One thing I will give the X-Charger is it's look... it is pure sex on wheels!!!
BTW... the Vortech HO kit will get you OVER 300RWHP! And it cost less....

Really? And that is putting it on a bone stock 6? Do you have a link where I can find it? You have a Vortech?

RE: Superchargers
Keep in mind with the stock vortech tune you probably wont get 300rwhp. Youll need a custom tune. And I dont think that scrming got that 60' bone sock other than supercharger. Not sure what he had at the time so i guess hell tell you that o_O

RE: Superchargers
yes theyll use your sct but youll need to go to a performance shop with a dyno and what not and theyll tweak your tune more than the vortech tune. The vortech tune is set at SUpersafe and a tuner will take it to just safe so you get more hp o_O
