I've been eyeballing goblins for some time now and I'm finally in the position to start my build. I think.
I'm a t-12 paraplegic ( jumping bikes at the sand dunes, 16 years post), and as much as I'd like to have a manual trans, they really are not practical for me. I love to come into a corner hot and throw it in a lower hole just as much as the next guy, but when you only have two functioning appendages, it's just not very fast.. So..... I need an automatic transmission.
I know that the auto trans and strength are going to be a talking point, but hoping that you guys can give me some advise. I'm looking for options and I've scoured every video and forum that I can find.
I think I'm going to need at least 250 hp to be enjoy driving the goblin based on what others are saying. It will take 13 second quarter miles to make it fun, and I like stopping fast more than I like acceleration.
Is the 2006 SS/NA with ZZ turbo set up my best option? 4 wheel disc's, some tuning ability. No vvt is a bummer, but I'm not seeing many other options for decent power and an auto trans.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
