Manual VS Auto for Boost Power???

MA70-3.0GT · 03-11-2010, 05:11 PM

Sorry but i'm gonna side with the "slushbox"! After all the supra, even by its own designation is a GT car not out n out sportster, and a grand tourer should be easy on the driver. That means no clutch workout and having the choice (which it is on these boxes) not to shift.

Ok a manual box is always gonna be more involving for the driver, and no doubt better on the n/a motor, but you gotta ask yourself what youre in a supra for. Personally i like having the comfort and gadgets while still being able to lay waste to anything upto and including M3s and cossies of the same era, and to this end the auto suits me down to the ground...

manuals all the way!!!

at least manuals you can up and down shift and practically decide what amount of tire spin you want.

yea i guess auto if you like to drive in a strait line is alright, but if your looking for any sort of fun, its 5 speed.

manual is light, and dam, i hate removing and installing autos. like wtf. a 5 speed is flywheel, clutch and housing then trans. end of story.

and that is my 2 cents.
