World's Fastest True Stick Shitf Mustang; 8.58@165, 93 88mm Turbo Synchronized T56 Has anyone else seen this? Have I been lied to as to why I needed to get rid of my man pedal? Is it the weight of the F-Body that kills T56's and not the power?

Not that many kill a well built T56, but weight for that sort of thing is always a killer.
Just very few have any interest in retaining a manual gearbox.
Although that Mustang is bound to be pretty light

Faceplating wont make the actual gears any stronger, if anything due to the heating stands more chance of weakening them
As for fuel, he's mixing 94 and some race fuel. Not sure how that makes it street driven ?

Two Words. Real Man.
Major props to that guy. Are autos faster, more consistent? Yup. But there is a feeling that you get shifting gears that an AUTO cannot do. My AUTO cars have been faster but nothing has been more fun than my E30 M3 ls1 6 speed. That's a driver. He could get in any auto car and go fast but most racers would be lost in his..
