But the car would lose a lot of its driveability, as the C4 is a ancient bit of gear. Extremely strong, but ancient. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you could sell your manual buy an auto and spend the rest on mods! That's what I'd be doing... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP43 Member 9 Member For: 11y 2m 13d Posted 04/10/13 07:00 PM Author Share Posted 04/10/13 07:00 PM (edited) So you guys think I could sell it for around the mark I paid amid simply buy the auto version. But this one a I have has everything I wanted and got alittle excited when I bought it. For me the car is great just wife is frying me LoL always said I wanted an auto then found this and got manual. Manual gear box seems really tight and alittle getting used to. I got drive an auto to it limits no worries in the world, but the manual feels like a completely different concept. In the 2012 FG should one rev dump in 2nd to avoid the diff bouncing?? Not that I tend to do it a lot but was just wondering what would work better?? If anyone knows shoot us a msg cheers!
