That sucks man, I've heard lots of stories the car was just cruising in traffic and she lets go. You going for a M50/M52 conversion?

I was putting down 260 odd rwhp on the 4 cylinder supercharger setup. I liked the Getrag myself. It was smooth, lighter and less notchy.
I don't think it's hate in particular. I think if you're going to put in another gearbox, it's probably better to spend a little bit more for that extra durability in case you build something more powerful later on, than to spend a little less than you should have and end up paying for a another gearbox (ZF).
Running roughly 430 rwhp on ZF now.
