False. Depending on how good of a driver he is, he could see a significant drop, or a significant raise.

Yes, im sure you would. Im just saying manual transmission cars are very hard to predict at the track, because there is so much driver error involved. Considering you've bought yourself a TKO 600, i know your probably a better driver than the average guy.
