    This again? Is the car stock? Stock auto v stock manual in Oz delivered form, my money would be on the manual for 0-400m, track times, and longevity, not saying it would or it wouldn't... just saying where my coin would be.

    ^this. I bet if both engines were identical the manual would walk all over the auto (unless ofcourse the driver wasn't any good). comparing a heavily built race motor with an auto box to a less powerful motor with a manual transmission isn't exactly fair...

    My stock one blew up

    But I borrowed one from one of the other customer at the mechanic because I wanted to run my car at the creek that week with my mates

    He had different gear ratios and a lsd
