I looked into this concept years back. Not too sure the Tranny / transaxle could cope very well with nearly double or more the torque that a LS1, LS2, LS6 or LS7 could lay down vs. a 3.2 Box S motor. When I watched the videos (the ones available 2 plus years ago) they would gingerly roll into the throttle and IIRC the driver even suggested doing such, that was in a 996.
Cool hybrid, I just hope they don't pulp too many Getrag units.
