[QUOTE="GT Premi, post: 15492622, member: 121775"] Ever tried raising your launch RPM at the track and slipping the clutch for a second gear start? It's all about figuring out how to handle your steed. Say what you will about the 1-2 grind, but Ford's rendition of the TR6060 can sure take a beating and keep coming back for more. I might be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure I've read of transmission failures on GM's side. I can't speak on or even care about the MT82 issues. As far as winning [more] races in an automatic, well, real men know how to take a loss and then adjust their strategy. :p What's the saying? "You fight a war with the army you have, not the one you wish you had." If you watch "legitimate" street race videos of evenly matched autos versus manuals, you'll notice that the majority of the time when the manual car loses, it's because the driver can't shift for crap. If the nose is dipping between shifts, you're shifting too slowly. If you're short shifting gears, you're doing it wrong. If you're too scared to put your car in a low enough gear to start, you don't know what you're doing; i.e. starting a 40 roll in third gear. [/QUOTE]
