As for the glass transmissions, that is an Internet rumor. Few trannies have had issues and those that did afaik were abused beyond belief - I dare anyone to drop the clutch on their 500+hp car 35 times in a short period.. That is what happened to these guys.
For now my car has been solid. no issues.
I`ve driven it on the 2.9 mile course at Texas World Speedway on 5 different days now a total of about 20 sessions. Using this car was my first time ever to go on a track and it is so good that even a beginner like myself is getting better times than most on the track(sub 2 minutes clockwise), even those in the white/red groups.. The car is fast on a track and is easy to drive fast on a track. I wish the tires didn`t wear out so fast though....a problem with this 3900lb beast.
I don`t care much about 0-60 and 1/4 mile times but it is a bonus that this car does them better than 99.9999% of all other cars in the world.
