I was comin home just now and ran into a red s197. I passed him, later he comes next to me. We begin to give eachother the look like wanna race, ya know. I think he was stick im auto. He had a ew exterrior mods, maybe he wasnt stock. Anyway he comes to almost to my door an i floor it, i let off 1 sec later then i see that he did floor it when i didpunched i again we stayed dead even till 120 something , then he started pulling Everyone pulls on me at 125(ish).. Is i because i take my over drive off. We raced again, thi time he got the jump and like a 1 sec almost 2 sec jump we went even but he pulled again, im guessing since he got the jump that was the difference or he had mods, But pretty much even. I was wondering how i can do against a stick gt from a roll. I shouldve got stick ttoo but ill just change my trans mission in the future. Good race not really even but it was fun.

 

i have a 06 auto and found if i stomp it at high rpms,it takes off alot quicker but i stomp it at like under 2000,i have a slight hesitation.

 

generally the stick will out perform the auto... but autos are great because you never miss the shift... depending on the driver mod with a stick you have a chance

 

I think a tune is mandatory with an auto. Ask any auto owner who's installed an intake and tune. I have no idea how overdrive works, but i'm guessing if you have it off then you're locked out of 5th gear and 4th probably runs out around 125. Obviously a stock manual is faster than a stock auto just because it looses less power through the transmission and the ability to shift were you want. Call Doug at B@m@chips.com and get a retune for it.

 

I already got bought my tune it comin this week.
