5 speed vs. Auto

[PSiedTSi]

I agree auto to go faster and ultimately last longer but you can't beat the fun of a 5spd although you are going to have some troubles keeping that thing from breaking...remember what I did to my tranny(yeah blah blah blah I couldn't drive whatever) but anyone can miss a gear at anytime...auto is also more consistant...

Auto will take out the inconsistencies of the driver. And Jeremy we all know you need that! I'd say go auto, and be different, or just sell everything and get a car that's not a DSM.

Oh yeah and another thing, you won't have to worry about burning up clutch discs from not being able to hold the power you're going to be making this year.

Auto sounds like the way to go and thats probably what ill be doing. im tyring to find out some prices and figure out some loose ends but i hope to start buying parts here soon.

Thanks for the input

Auto for sure.

Just out of curiosity, how much more power to the wheels do you expect to lose through the tranny with an auto compared to manual?

[Guest]

Even if he loses say, 45 hp through the wheels (won't be that much) he will make up for it by being able to launch at near full boost....and nothing shifts faster than an auto, so he will never need to lift off the throttle which can help in preventing missed shifts and helps prevent the car from transfering weight forward during shifts.

and the turbo will always be spooled once he spools it...
