Hi Guys
There are several issues here, Firstly I love my T5, secondly a certin member, lets not name him, we will give him a code number though.......say 22 or 33 OK?
Whom bags the poo poo out of me when the opportunity is present and then says stuff like " Heven, looking for help here "
Then there is the Auto V's Manual Debate which I am not that unfamiliar with.
For the Manual side..........all I can say is you need a lot of practice to get it all right, there is the revs, they have to be perfect so as not to bog down, the clutch has to be let out at the exact rate as the track and tyres and engine revs dictate, timing has to be spot on. But the skill required to be consitant is only from practice, a street car with less than say 400hp in my opinion is going to be quicker than an auto down the quarter simply for the fact that they have a better spread of gears.
So there is nothing wrong if you would prefere an auto over a manual other than you prefere the auto cause ther is less chance that you make a mistake and everyone rips into you, But that goes to show that to drive a manual you have to be able to take ridicule and mayhem from the auto drivers for the simple fact that auto drivers cant drive anyway.

For the Auto side.........sorry I dont have any excuses on why you cant change gears, as I stated earlier in this rant "auto drivers cant drive anyway"
Cheers Hev
