Yeah rundown is great. Especially when you downshift. You loose all of that 'interactive noise' if you will, with an Auto.

I have an auto, which is great for drag racing. I have raced many fast manual cars, and I always catch them when they are gear changing. That said, I hate the sound of them, and I plan on converting to manual at some stage. Lets not forget the power the torque converter is taking :o

Try driving it like you stole it in an auto :rofl: end up in the hedge

 

Manual for a Z everytime, no comparision... :bow:

I would convert back to a auto if there was a set up that I wanted i.e this

 

Fast road autobox fitted with that shift at will kit set to a tiptronic gear selector with a side shift gate for manual selection of gears and a button on top of the gear selector to stop upshifting or downshifting so you can hold a gear whenever you want to

dont forget that when you change gear in manwell a (turbo engine)it will come off boost , in an auto it stays on boost as it changes gear ,that may be why there faster to 100mph oh and fewer gear changes to

Manual gearshift sounds far better IMHO. Hearing a Z pull away and hear it actually going through the gears sounds a lot nicer than the variomatic sound that kind of exudes from the exhaust in auto format.

So you admit! you owned a Daf 66 once??? Lol

And listening to it burble as you slow down in second gear up to some traffic lights, you don't get that in an auto! :bow:

 

The manual is just a completely different car to drive.

 

:D

You do if you select one or two and back off the gas in an auto :D
