Can the 6 speed tranny hold 1000hp at the motor?




Will it grenade right away? Probably not. I know guys making 800-1000 engine HP in newer Ford GT500 mustangs (also w/ 6 speed manuals)and they aren't braking transmissions right and left.

If the driver didn't stress the trans with hard launches, on-off throttle blurps at peak torque etc, I think it would last quite a while.

Clutch upgrade might be needed, which in turn would put a little more stress on the trans. I don't think it was a stupid question...
