Whats all this talk about a Rsx? I mean even the type s is only like 200hp and has no torque, fwd also? I dont know what you guys are smoking. I mean i want some but damn..
Everyone jokes about the RSX until VTEC kicks in. Then its not so funny.

Oh i figured it would be toasted by the time vtec kicked in. I thought it was just a matter of how you set your toast gauge in the 350z, like how you want ur rsx toasted. Brown, golden brown, or just black.

It’s my understanding that only manuals are panty droppers and autos are the showstoppers........Someone correct me if I am wrong. Btw, I have a manual and no girl has ever dropped her panties upon seeing it. What am I doing wrong? Should I turn off the VDC?

if ur not insterested in racing..then why do you care which is faster?!

it doesnt matter if u drive an auto or a manual...it IS your preference
But if you do drive an auto, dont show up with a body kit, intake, and exhaust and try to act badass
just a general comment and not directed to anyone

I'm lost as to why you would act badass for having those in a MT? in any car? car =/= personality.

just my opinion ... pm me to discuss further
lets answer his question and not let this thread turn into countless others

the auto shifter is handy for responsiveness...u can hold ur rpm at 4000rpm...stomp on gas while staying in lower gear and no have trans shift prematurely or worry about bouncing off rev limiter

the auto shifter is also handy for decelerating from 4th to 3rd to 2nd...dont bother with first...just hit brakes

which is faster...prob auto shifter feature
which is more consistent ... prob reg auto mode

Your ugly face is mitigating the manual effect.

I know that was going to be brought into this......I had thought the manual would have negated that.

Let me know how that works for you. I may have to look into picking up a skiline symbom myself.

I don't know which is faster, auto or manual, but I did read a scholarly article rescently that noted if you paint racing stripes on your car you will get 5 extra horse power per stripe and doubl the chance of you getting laid!
I just put some red overlay stripes on mine and waiting for the crazy glue to take effect. looks freaking sweet! let me see pics of yours when you're done.

I live in ATL and the only place in the country with more traffic is LA. Even if you live there, I still can't see the reason for spending money on a 5AT! With a 5speed you can controll your car. But to each his own (I guess)!

I do both but honestly just mash and smash with your pimp lean!!!!! I have yet to be beat by a "cool 6mt" yet with equivalent mods.... I changed my gearing to 3.9 and honestly destroy 6mt's in full automatic or me shifting... i prefer to shift less wheel spin on the start full auto when it opens up breaks loose. I recommend the pumpkin upgrade... by far a bang for your buck!!!
