Default Transbrake

Is there a similar thing for a manual? Anyone know what I should get?

well kind of there is.

the Harlan two step serves PART of the same purpose. let's you launch full throttle at a selected rpm. technically its really like having a stutter box on a transbrake but its the closest thing you'll get to a t brake with an m6 car.

Hrmm.. you know what would be cool is a line lock setup that works with your clutch. You stage and press your clutch down then hold a button with your thumb that could activate a delay box and a 2 step. The delay box would send 12 volts a line lock device that would hold the line pressure to the clutch. When you see the first bulb release the button then mash the gas. The delay box would be maintaining the clutch pressure and when you mashed the gas the 2 step would be holding the rpms where ever you wanted. Hang on when the tree goes tree because the delay box would be releasing everything.

It would be a good way to button race with on a sportsman tree to cut some easy RT's like the automatics do.

You can get a two step from Harlan directly at http://www.harlan-engineering.com.

The clutch solenoid is a cool idea, especially with a flow control so you can adjust the release rate so that it doesn't just snap out. It would be nice to apply a little brake to the car so that the inertia doesn't roll you through the staging beams. But you just have to be quick on the brake for that I guess.
