Im neither Girl nor spastic... And i know which ive my two cars is quicker to drive in any circumstance and it isnt R.... yeah the whole.... manuals are quicker coz u can change gears yourself thing is a load of shit, who's to say you cant f*** up a gear change or stall..... even race car drivers and pro draggers can f*** up when it comes to that..... your only human after all, so say you put a manual vs auto on the drag strip both same cars ( with gearbox difference obviously ) with the same power.... the manual driver screws up the shift therefore the auto gets a better take off and wins.... not saying this is common, but if you live in the misconception that manuals are quicker simply coz u change gears yourself your an idiot.

mad34 Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 i drive a tiptronic auto because i drive heaps far to work everyday and im lazy. manual is definately better and more fun though. however, I have to say in the my auto's defence the r34 tiptronic box isn't too bad it gives you a little bit more control than a r33 Auto. especially with hills driving the paddle shift is pretty good.
