Haha, duh. Ok I wasn't thinking straight right there, but you need to STFU with the junior crap. There's no need to be an ***.

I don't disagree with the times or the fun, all my point is if your car goes faster when you shift your self- a good tuner or some trail and error with a tuner can fix that. If you adjust the computer to shift the trans at the same point that you manual shift it, you can go the same et.

Ok i got that, but its more trouble then its worth to me, because I'm always going to shift it myself, I don't even know where I shift at because I don't look at the tach.
But I appreciate the help.

I understand this is the V8 section, but the shifters are not exclusive to V8 or V6, there the same.

Are the autos in the V6 and GT the same? I know the manuals are different...
