Guest	Re: Manual VS Auto? Wed, 04 September 2002 10:32 Auto's are faster in cars that the 30hp or so extra loss is insignificant. I know of JZA70's with identical rwhp as me and they are still 2 10ths faster 0-100. Launching my car and 0-100 has been a priority for me over the last 6 months, I have practised and tried everything, the old hands will agree there is very little left in my launch when i get it right, auto's are just plain faster. And they are much easier to get right as well ! Even in the twisties, a big hp auto is hard to beat, out near wisemans ferry the other day, following Andy's supra (also jza70) you could just see how easily he rolled into corners ready to punch out in 2nd gear, his second gear will turn the treads from 70 all the way to 130+ , perfect for that road! all the while i am using both 2nd and 3rd. I find changing down on a bumpy off camber road very unsettling of the attitude of the car and so i have to be a little more conservative to set the carup right entering the corner. I was critical of the auto's, especially 1j's, before I bought mine ( a 5 speed). I dont bag auto's anymore. Autos are fast, manuals are fun . Make your own descision.
