Cool, how much horsepower gain, and who is going to be the Guinea pig and report the results?

power gain similar to manual version, according to their last e-mail. I heard a claim that the JCW MCSa was quicker around the track than its manual counterpart during testing - hard to imagine that's actually the case though!

H'm, that must be a good transmission. Lots of favorable reviews of the company that built it.

I believe that there are people who can shift a manual faster that the MCSa can shift in sport mode, but I can't, and I don't think that they can do it for an extended drive.

I love having no clutch replacements to look forward to. Actually, my last stick shift car, a Toyota, gave me 135,000 miles, and had the original clutch in it when I sold it. I drive like a Wus. Too many years paying for my own cars.

I am thinking pretty hard about the works package. Just so I can drive slow down the street with the Works badge displayed!

It is not impossible. We are really happy with the six speed auto and the S, but a little more power, just for emergencies mind you.

For fleeing hurricanes and tsunamis and such.

It is bad enough that I don't wash the car now, it would be a horrible thing to have a dirty Works.

well, that's what i have been told.... beside... it more or less the same as a manual work kit... so it's about right.....
now it's only a matter that when they might have given discount for that like they do for the manual one sometime ago!!!

Thanks for the update! So, what is included in the kit?
So I am still waiting for the announcement of this JCW kit! And I guess I will be torn between a nicely loaded Copper S or a JCW MCSa

btw, what transmission is it using?
