m.e.m.,
Si Targa's (Franz) Si Pantera is one of only 2 factory installed Getrag 6 speed cars. The other is also an Si Targa (yellow).

Yes, only the blue and the yellow Targa were equipped with this Getrag 6-speed gearbox by the factory.
Claudia Lodi told me, that these gearboxes are sourced from the Audi RS2.
It is the perfect gearbox for fast long distance riding, because the rev level is very low. In 6th gear with 3000 rpm you can reach 180 km/h (113 mph) and with only 4000 rpm you can reach 240 km/h (150mph).
On the other hand you have a very short 1st gear for better acceleration from the standstill.
In the Pantera this gearbox works much better than in the Guara. Shifting through the gears is even smoother than the ZF.

Has anyone replaced a ZF with a Getrag 6 speed ? Sounds like a great combination.
