TJritonja Member 7 Member For: 13y 3m 23d Posted 05/01/12 10:04 AM Share Posted 05/01/12 10:04 AM Hey all, I am after a FG XR6 turbo possibly a BF depending on funds. Now I have taken a Auto and Manual for a test spin and enjoyed them both. Now I am most likely going to settle for the auto as they seem to be easier to get hold of. I was just wondering are the autos just as fun?? what I mean is can you flick the tale out just as easy as a manual and can you have just as much fun?? now I did test drive both but could not flick the tale out and all that while the sales person was in the car lol so this is why I am asking on here. It is not a manual vs auto question it is just a more fun factor question..Cheers in advance Tom.

TJritonja Member 7 Member For: 13y 3m 23d Posted 05/01/12 11:17 AM Author Share Posted 05/01/12 11:17 AM what sort of powere difference is there? Ive done some research and some guys make out the autos are Rockets compared to the manual, im sure down at the drag strip you would notice that the auto is quicker but around the streets im sure there is not much in it..... But hey im not gonna start an argument, most likely go the auto very good reviews on them.cheers guys.
