It was a super short throwing transmission. My Camaro's T56 is a bit longer. It's what we are or get used to, but that's fun to experience with cars. NC's are so high strung in every manner, which is the point. And certainly they are that way compared to the absolute (and relatively precise-in-metering) sledgehammer that the Camaro can be when it's not trundling around like a Labrador Retriever on a sunny day. I'd have to adjust to the NC's continual urgency, but would happily do that. As it stands, torque and a doubel-barrel V8 soundtrack are a heck of a drug.

Long live the Miata. And long live the Mullet Missile.
