Auto Trans EB vs GT VS V6

[neodark]

Can anyone comment on the parts used in the three configurations?

Specifically, is the clutch, flywheel, etc... The same or different between them? The reason I ask is durability. Obviously the GT was setup to handle quite a bit more hp/tq than the others. The question is, do the others have weaker parts?

Same for all trims except gearing. The auto is faster and can handle more power.

Awesome, thanks. I read that the clutch may start slipping around 400wtq, so I was curious. IE Tuned EB vs stock GT

I read 600 for manual and 1000 for auto. But auto isn't as fun and costs more.

V6 has a week driveshaft, there's videos of people exploding their driveshafts.

Really? Possibly driver error?

At least with the 2011-2014 V6 models the driveshafts would blow from vibration when people would take the speed limiter off, usually around 130-140 or so. I would imagine similar things would happen with this gens' v6 since they're limited to 121.

The EBs with PP are limited to 145, and I'm pretty sure the drive shaft is the same on non-PP models.

Ha, Ha - that's a good laugh. I would sure chock that up as user error.

That certainly does not make me laugh. Wow going ≈18 mph over the 121 max (15%)... made it blow a drive line, ouch. I'd hate to see the underside of that car.

Like I said, user error. 18 mph over; it's as though he were trying to break the car. Even 1 mph over the "max" is stupid. Sort of like choosing to drive even if you'd just barely blow an illegal % on a breathalyzer.
