VenomX Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Welcome to the club m8, I prefer manual myself, but some people may prefer auto. It's really up to each person to decide. To me an auto is more economic, right, but also boring to drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesmark Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Best bet is attend some meets in your area, we are all a friendly bunch get used to seeing them etc etc. Also drive both, auto and manual you will be very surprised with the auto box there is no delay in power it is the best autobox I have driven. The only disadvantage about getting an auto is you are limited on the power you can achieve before it breaks but that is iirc 500+ bhp, where as a manual can handle double that (clutch depending).

Joeatphr Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 hahaha, yes good advise! As for which to go for its a matter of what you prefer, the auto has a greater drivetrain loss in power vs the Manual. I prefer the Manual because of the adrenaline that it builds when downshifting to beat someone in a race. When purchasing a car there are a few things to look for to make sure your not getting jipped. Make sure the condition is up to par, VIN's match, check the engine code make sure it hasent been swapped. As for milage shoot for low if possible but then again you get what you pay for! Hope this helps, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
