Manuals put 15% more power to the ground then automatics.

I think the manual in this car actually puts about 8% more HP to the ground. Most Manuals have about 15% loss and our auto assuming the absolute worst is 23%......

Shorter gearing will help a TON as well. Our car needs that more than the 8% gain in my opinion. Our 3rd is almost direct! I mean give me a break.

I don’t plan to buy one exclusively because it might be faster in a straight line race.
I want it for better control of the car on twisty roads where an automatic or even our SLUSH SHIFT has no idea what you’re trying to accomplish.
