I would get the SL/CL65 AMG motor. It was tuned down to 604hp and 738 ft/lbs. They were tuned down because they kept destroying the already strengthened trannsmission.
the only company that would detune so they dont have to use a manual transmission

Is there a manual tranny out there that can handle 700+ lb ft?

Some of the AMG mercs handle that much and more. Id' like to see how big/heavy the 'boxes need to be for that

Actually they aren't any bigger then a standard RWD auto trans. Its all about the software that controls everything that makes them handle the power
