Because its proven that the auto does quicker 1/4 mile and track times 
|
And in the case of the new Z Series HSV's , the auto has a higher top speed !!!!
|
The auto & 1/4 mile thing I know about. By krikey it pisses me off too ! !  The HSV auto/top speed thing is all about gearing. In particular, how absurdly high 6th gear is in the holden-spec T56.
Better Track times tho? where? who proved it? which car? I thought torque converters lost too much power for track work. 
I have nothing against the Typhoon btw - Damn fine idea! I'm TOTALLY impressed by the 500hp Turbo (yup), and that it's Manual only. YES! GOLD! Ford won't unleash it's full potential until they work out how to make the V8 quicker. It just wouldn't do to make the V8 look bad . . . . .
I'm not trying to brag or anything, but I've driven virtually every Australian released GM car reviewed in car mags for the last 5 years, and I agree with 99% of what most motoring journo's say. That's good AND bad by the way, sure I've got a soft-spot for Holdens 'coz I work for them, but the Motor tests always seem fair, honest and even-handed.
Even when the car I like loses.
p.s. the Astra Turbo Coupe IS that good. 
For a Front wheel drive.
