The tt's auto tranny does eventually start slipping past about 550rwhp or so, but the 6spd's oem clutch will slip LONG before that...

Also, burnouts are generally much easier with the auto, since all you have to do is hold the brakes lightly and slam the accelerator to the floor (not good for the driveline nor rear brakes, but it does work). To get a really good burnout with a 6spd, without destroying your clutch in the process, you need a line-lock kit.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
