      Should you choose an automatic, be sure to go with an electronic automatic overdrive transmission. They can be custom built and calibrated to work extremely well in a "handling" environment. I have both T56 manual and manumatic equipped vehicles at my disposal. I enjoy both types thoroughly.
      Unfortunately, most people have absolutely no personal driving experience with hot rod manumatics. Most opinions are based on 60 year old "slushbox" technology--not current computerized design.
      I offer an open invitation for anyone to come take a test drive in one of Twist's paddle shifted house cars. I guarantee that you will enjoy the experience. More than likely, you will gain an appreciation for manumatics as reliable, versatile, effective and fun. And yes, the cool factor is most definitely present. Hundreds of people have opened their minds to the concept. Not one customer was dissatisfied. And the technology gets better every day. In addition to paddle shifting, we can now offer six speeds, engine braking, multi-disc lock up clutches, and more.

      If you're at all on the fence, you should at least contact us to discuss the pros and cons of manumatic technology before you take your wallet out.
