GM INTRODUCES multi-speed ZR1 trans
This is the trans they used in the latest Fast and Furious.

Re: GM INTRODUCES multi-speed ZR1 trans
I saw this in a road test video...unfortunately they found both 19th and 20th gear to be overdrive gearing so top end was a little disappointing.

Power shifting could take some practice...

Yeah there's ALWAYS one more Gear left and the supercharger can always spin a little bit faster when someone is chasing Dominic Torretto. Last edited by XfireZ51; 12-19-2016 at 04:08 PM. |

Re: GM INTRODUCES multi-speed ZR1 trans
Is that the same transmission that was in John Connors Honda XR dirt-bike that he was riding when being chased by the T-1000 Mimetic Poly Alloy Terminator (aka Liquid Metal) in Terminator-2: Judgement Day? Then just as the T-1000 is about to run over John Connor using a cab/over Freightliner transport truck, the T-800(played by Arnold Schwarzenegger and sent back to save John Connors life) jumps his cruiser style bike down about 20 feet into the flood control channels, passes the chasing transport and plucks John Connor from his dirtbike just in the knick of time.
I've never heard so many upshifts from a dirtbike in all my life. Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah ............ad nauseaum. Not only did the transmission have an infinite number of forward gears, that Honda XR also sounded like a 2 stroke dirtbike. This is also bothersome because the Honda XR lineup has always been powered by 4 stroke engines. The Honda CR 125s, 250's and 500 cc bikes were the 2 stroke bikes. Wah, wah, wah. Wow, some of the scene I'm talking about is actually on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqYZypjLZi0 Last edited by Hog; 12-19-2016 at 03:55 PM. |
