Yeah yeah, bag my driving, just cos I'm the only one with the balls to state the truth.
Hands up all those people who have driven a number of examples of the same car, same spec, 200+rwkw car in both auto and manual in a variety of conditions.
I restate my comment - In cars where the loss due to drivetrain losses is insignificant compared to the overall rw output of the car, the advantages of an auto's long gearing, snap changing and launchabillty mean that the auto will 9 times out of ten be quicker in most situations.
My manual pulls harder in some gears than the auto at the same speed, however when he uses only one gear for 70 -140k's and I have to change twice the auto wins.
1j autos can leave the line in a launch with 5 psi + on the dial. If you slip you clutch that much on a 200+ kw manual it'll be dead in a week ! and if the clutch willtake it then it wont slip!
Having said that I would never buy an auto, I like to enjoy my driving, regardless of outright speed, manuals are more fun.
