. Auto won't do that. U get the same car, same driver, 3 laps in auto, 3 laps in manual.... Manual will always have the faster laps. And we're not debating an amateur vs a pro here. That's just stupid to even suggest that. Same car, same driver, skilled driver....
1/4 = auto
Road course = manual.
Only someone that has no track experience will argue that fact. Not my facts.... Every professional out there uses auto for 1/4, manual for road course.

I have no round track experience so I will step up and argue. Auto's are still better!!

That the MT is faster! I guess my car isn't a good car to compare because we have adjusted the 7AT and its supercharged, but I promise you can't shift that fast.

You just have better control over the RPM's in a MT car.
It's not always necessarily "faster" but you do tend to have better control over the car.

JWillis72 · 03-18-2015, 06:59 PM

I would love to see that stock vs stock, I think it would really surprise you MT guys but I could be wrong. I track with one of my life long best friends who has a 01 Z06 that is supercharged and 455whp/ 451 tq the runs away from my car, the only place he's impressed with the Z is when we are shifting.
