Not really. Some autos are f**king shit. Like the one in the bf xr6 310kw version. I changed gears around same time as him and lost no ground what so ever.

They only have 245kw, I've run against a manual in mine (michaels xr8, was pretty even race off a roll) and every gear change he dropped back a bit just from the gearbox

I rode dirt bikes from a young age (pee-wee 50 types), started off small and ended up with a 150 which I sold at 16 - rode only once every month or 2 so not too much.

Got my Ls on the 1 day course, they expect you to know how to ride and basic controls. That being said I hadn't sat on a bike for about 5 years still passed fairly easily, you'll be fine. If you're worried just do the 2 day course, seriously though don't stress its easy.

As for on the road, a bit weird at first.. just doing 80 or 100 seems like your flying. I just took it easy, didn't weave or go to the front of the lights at first. After a few months you get more comfortable, still I always wear gear and don't try to be a hero. Good fun though. Do it! :thumbsup:

lol I had a pee wee 50 too.. That's the extent of my experience. Wouldn't know how the gearing works but I'm sure I'd pick it up quick enough. I'll probably do the course they have listed as being for those with no experience..

This one was running e85 and had 340rwkw

Yeah if you haven't had experience with a bike clutch and gears definitely do the 2 day course. Because they don't go through that at all on the 1 day course. They pretty much throw you on the bike and say do some laps, don't want you ripping the clutch out and falling off the back :P

We get it man your car is like so totally fast nothing could ever keep up

For most people though its not just about going fast ie comfy ride, plush interior etc

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
