tdog Donating Members 13 Member For: 20y 3m 4d Gender: Male Posted 18/05/08 01:25 PM Share Posted 18/05/08 01:25 PM I would still choose the auto in the Turbo.The launch control will end in tyre smoke, as these barges lack traction. The Manuals will dump boost inbetween gearchanges and this is where the Auto shines.The auto is the best all round box for these cars.Get the auto its the only long term option for smooooth running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm stuck in the same dilema, I can only hope that one really outshies the other and make the choice easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have to have rocks in your head to buy a manual, even with launch control.Gav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you want to drive the car or let the car drive you. I also like the dress quote. Hehehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mail is that the autos have "launch control" too, although launch control isn't strictly the correct term, its more of a gearbox safeguard that happens to help with nice launches.
