Tranny swap

A&Q about 350Z
Q:


I just spent two days swapping the 4-speed in my '71; by myself; and Harvicks crew swapped his at the Coca-Cola 600 tonight in 11 min. Can I get a pit crew, please?

Ex was about 1000 degrees and got replace at the same time. Tranny was only about 700 degrees at the time. How would you like that resting on your chest while waiting on you buddy to help guide it out... Who is cooking hot dogs BTW...

So 24ounce I take it your use to driving in a pack 43 cars all fighting for the same spot doing 180 MPH for 600 miles with out anything breaking on a daily drive to work! You know NASCAR does road races also.
With that logic I take it that 230 MPH Indy 500 race isn't worth watching also. Nor doing 300 + strait lines in under 5 seconds count either right!
Racing is racing and in come in many forms why not enjoy them all!
