Semi auto euro is faster. ;) (experimenting)

my car is serviced and all (10 000km) I dont know know if your being sarcastic? 10 000 rpm???? That would reck the engine wouldnt it? I am not sure, i just hope you guys are not lieing to me and making go and do a stupid thing. The reason i said the semi auto was faster because in auto trans the car reaches 80 in 3rd gear. I will do 0-100 times if i get the oppurtunity and see what the results are. I will be postng results soon.

Your car has 10,000k on the odo and you have never hit 7000rpm? My goodness - running through 6000-7000rpm in the Euro is one of the reasons I love this car... You are not going to wreck your car by hitting 7000rpm - just make sure the car is warmed up and be prepared for the addiction that follows. It is like a sickness. I am struck with the disease and need my daily dose of 7000rpm. Anyone else have this disease?

Right on brother!!! My missus gets the shits when I drive around on redline but she is coming around (she is starting to do it ).

I love being able to do 100km/h in 2nd and 150km/h in 3rd. I think the flywheel must be a bit heavy because the engine breaking is not that good at all, too smooth!

Faiz doesn't know what he is missing - there is also no way 3rd gear was 80k/ph in the auto - he must have been gentle on the gas and it changed to 3rd. I don't have the auto but according to Wheels magazine the auto in 1st maxes out at 69kph (7100rpm) and 121k/ph in 2nd gear (7100rpm)...

That is a real shame as auto Euro drivers will mainly experience 6000rpm in 1st gear -- unless they drive well over 100kph which is usually over the speed limit in Australia.

At least with the 6mt we can experience 6000rpm in both 1st and 2nd and still be legal.

For the manual - Type R positive - I am fairly sure 3rd gear max is around 140k/ph not 150km/h.
