Utopian Drivetrain
I drove an LS1 FD w/ T56 a few years ago and it felt so slow and clunky compared to my stock FD Mazda trans.

That's for you to decide.
It's smooth enough to be used on a TON of cars from Z06 vettes, to cobras, to ever single viper starting from 1992.
It's a great trans and I have driven a lot of them. I have not encountered one yet that I would not pick over my current miata trans or any other miata trans I have driven.
8.4 viper v10 w/ t56 = My dream miata drive train.

You're the only person I have ever heard complain about the T56, then again you did drive a poorly swapped car that probably had a beat to death LS T56 and not the buttery smooth, superior viper T56.
So I just noticed, you have not listed your dream drive train. Contribute to the thread, please.

An "LSx" from the Pratt and Miller Corvette C6RS, it's punched out to 8.2 liters and sounds like ******* thundersex.(hear it here) For the trans, I'd just go T56.
I'd also like to try out a Mopar 360c.i. V8 in a miata. It's a OHV engine like the ford 5.0 and chevy LSx so I think it would fit.

Wow. 'Lotta different ideas. I thought there would be a few different engines with followers fighting for their engine god. I was thinking something like a modern NASCAR engine (with injectors instead of carbs) because its got a load of power and I would think its relatively pretty responsive. Thats for a surgical track weapon. I'd go with a Merlin V12 from a P-51 if I was going for badassery.
