[MR2Jedi]

I don't ever see anyone on here with a Spyder. anyone got one modified?

why do u think that is? not enough rice here?

[Piddy]

Probably cause nobody here really knows anything about spyders.... so they generally get referred. If we had some more spyder people here to answer questions... i bet more spyder people would stick around

[ToyotaTechGeek]

well, sequential has a clutched 1st gear (ones ive seen). the SMG doesn't use a clutch(actuated by the foot/leg) whatsoever. you shift either by the selector or on the wheel (buttons)

[MR2Jedi]

how do you like it?

[ToyotaTechGeek]

feels great. some say it's slow to shift, autoweek says it's on-par with the BMW, and Ferrari. i think it's fine

[MR2Jedi]

is that 6 speeds? and what do u think about the top end?bottom end and mid range?I've always thought that that trans would have a better top end than the manual.. I have 5 sp maual and it's pretty responsive up to about 105mph after that the last 25 mph comes kinda slow. I've never had it past 130mph. of course that almost redline too

i haven't driven her to that extreme. for the most part, she's a sunday driver. my MkI SC has seen the top...
