Nice option if you don't mind having a company do a conversion on your new Supra...

Doesn't this use the ZF 8hp series transmission? From what I've heard, it's a pretty nice auto.

The 8HP is pretty nice, but it can get confused during rolling stop maneuvers. At least with FCA programming, they hold 3rd until shifting to 1st at a stop. This results in some pretty terrible downshifts into 1st or 2nd when the vehicle catches on to the fact that coming to a full stop was never the intention.

Yeah, I've heard Chrysler's tuning has been mediocre. My buddy has one in a 3 series. Thing is phenomenal, does almost everything you want it to do. I almost think putting a 6 speed in there would be a downgrade. Then again..if its properly tuned.
