Whats the link between 600bhp and a Manual Gearbox....?

 

manual box being stronger, auto box has limits around here although depends where you get your figures as I read it was a little lower than this.

 

See another thread somewhere about Ryan Woon's 1400bhp monster that does 8s 1/4's through the standard manual transmission (except for the clutch of course, what OEM clutch could take that lol).

 

Edit: It's this thread if you are interested http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=54523&highlight=ryan+woon

I see your angle....however since I have driven both the auto and manual (at the time of purchase)....I PERSONALLY prefer driving my car rather than it driving me regardless of the power....hence my choice of a manual.

 

My advice to any newbie is to try both and then decide which one suits THEM best.

 

Each to their own and lets not deviate from the thread subject.

Ping me whenever your ready.....

 

Thanks mate, will do.

 

 

I wouldn't mind being able to get around 400bhp, so I take it either box would be ok?

If power is what governs your choice of transmission then like what was said earlier, either box will do upto 600 odd bhp.
