gear ratios and gearbox wieght............................................ .......

its still a freaking slow car at the end of the day it wont make that much difference. only thing strong different is you can select gears for better launch/acceleration.

if u wanna change gb for speed, forget about it wont make a difference u will still have a 70kw engine.

I reckon manual is faster in daily driving because you can rev it to whatever and shift at whenever. However manual can be slower in this case. When you press the pedal in both cars the auto will obviously shift for you. But if your pressing the gas pedal to the degree of the auto your manual car is gonna stop gaining speed at say 2.7k rpms at 50kms till u shift gear or press the pedal in further, then you will gain more speed. The only real difference i see is you can have more fun in a manual and be a dickhead? Plus have the ability to select w/e gear you want in w/e situation.

Tru That Manual More Control More Revs When needed. btw in my ek i have (1) (2) (d3) (d4) i kno 1 means it only uses 1 gear and so on but if i where shift from 1 and up will it damage anythin ?

i played around with this and it's slower than just flooring it. after a while surely it'd break something... the jerk doesnt feel good

only time d3 is necessary is engine braking downhill so you dont overheat brakes. if you're in 4th and gas hard enough it shifts to 3 by itself. just a bit laggy so unless you in a real hurry to overtake or something there's no point sliding it to d3. gear stick fetish?
