Reply With QuoteI don't think he has the Automatic so the top-ends of both cars should be comparable. So from a stop unless you screw the launch you will take him. No offense SLOW4eatfrom a dead stop you will win by very little...

she then yelled at my friend for "setting her up with a much faster car":lol:

yes, because the automatic has taller gears to pull, and the MT only falls out of the powerband on the 2nd gear upshift. Autotransmissions are typically heavier and absorb more hp A stage II manual rarely falls out of the powerband.

For arguements sake ill just drop it. Im making my determination off a buddy that has a 5MT. When we were of equal mods he used to obviously take me from the dig but from a roll id pull a bit. Now its no competition but i think the Auto loses out on the the launch. Once you start modding that 1 sec diff narrows.Originally posted by MidnightFLAT4
