[http://www.modularfords.com/forums/2003-2004-mustang-cobra/t56-shift-quality-question-24541.html](http://www.modularfords.com/forums/2003-2004-mustang-cobra/t56-shift-quality-question-24541.html) “The input shaft would be one, but overall the Cobra spec T-56 is noisy and sloppy at times. You really have to drive a Viper spec T-56 to compare the difference. I remember when I had my '94 Callaway Camaro I complained about the sloppiness and noise of my T-56. I called Borg Warner and talked to one of their head engineers. He explained the differences basically in quality between the Corvette and F-Body T-56s. The Vette T-56 was much smoother and a whole lot quieter. The Cobra spec T-56 will certainly handle the power but if it were me I’d want something with a bit more quality built into it. JMO.” "The Viper T56 has tighter tolerances than the Cobra T56. It also has a better input shaft and output shaft. Since a Viper costs more than twice as much as a Cobra, Dodge can afford another $500 per tranny. Some Cobra T56’s will be great, some notchy. Depends on how the loose tolerances stack up. FWIW, I have no problems shifting mine." ---

Anyways, find some idiot to let you launch their Z, and see what you think, then you’ll understand why most Z’s don’t do so well in “drag racing” ---

> [@silvrhand](#): > > Ugh, > > Again the 300zx haters come out in droves. The problem with the Z isn’t making power, it’s keeping it hooked up. It has independent rear suspension, when you really power on it it’ll sink and then wheel hop the first/second gear, look at the 60ft times, and look at the trap times… 118mph trap with mid 12’s I think you know what the problem is, and if you think launching a stock Z with high HP is easy, give it a whirl… Chances are you’ll bog or you’ll wheel hop all over the place. > > The Z is a great car, it was never designed to drag and to get it to drag removing a lot of the things in the rear end that make it enjoyable to drive day to day. If you are buying a Z to make it a drag car, get ready to open your pocket book and be ready to not want to drive the car day to day. i have the specialty Z subframe spacers and still wheel hop like a mother [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/black-300zx-thunder-in-da-burgh/182858.md?page=2)
