Auto R33

[Modena]

I just got an auto R33 GTS-T II, pretty much stock accept it growls a bit as there some mods to the exhaust or muffler... not too sure.

Anyway Ive read that manual GTS-Ts do 6.2 sec to 100 km/h. Given that autos do have a slightly bigger lag, is it safe to say that an auto will do around 6.6 to a 100 km/h?

PS I know its a 10 yo car and they dont go as hard as something thats about 4-5 yo but nevertheless.

im pretty sure the auto will do a better 0-100 time. auto's will lag but you can start at a higher rev (rev and brake till you start to spin) and still have full traction, that will give you a better take off than any manual out there. for me its at around 3000 and it isnt till past the 100 mark that a manual will beat me.

why do you think most top drag cars are quick shift?

I too always felt that most autos take off quicker.

So whats the best way to launch an auto? Power button on and rev past 5000 rpm on each gear?

Yeah my mate just got turbo Mr2 and giving me bit of shit cos hes is manual mine is auto... i drive when its peak hour traffic (Melbourne is peak hour traffic non stop). So its great just put your foot down and it flies! ALso no need to worry about clutches or leg cramps and the fact that Im 6'4 does it make it much easier not to have to move your feet ever 2 seconds... lay down, kick back

if you want to be attending events etc, might want to look into signing up as a vic member.

$70 initial sign up and $50 every 12 months after that to renew...the forms are in the vic section somewhere....they do a lot of members only cruises etc so being a member has its benefits...discounts at certain places also
