turbo88 vs 98 gtp

Automatics are not slower...I dont know why everyone thinks that. Esepcially once you get the hp/torque numbers to spin wheels. Then the auto has it. Much better launch, And no time lost shifting. The only real advantage manual has is that if you dont have that much power you can put 3500 rpms worth of power to the wheels when your not moving, Which is good for front wheel drive 4 cyls. And the gear ratios are a little closer and higher than an auto. But that gtp is going to have a lot more torque than your supra (almost 300 ft lbs i believe) So he wont need the clutch slipping launch. But im sure with a few mods and the turbo, Youd beat him in the end. You just need some exhaust flow, lexus/550s, And a boost controller
