Own one auto and own one manual...both make you appreciate the other.

When I was minding Alvin's car, it was bliss for daily driving. Then I'd get in my car and it felt like a sports car / weekender again, not a daily as I used it before.

Driving a RWD will make me a sexual Tyrannosaurus? lol

hell yes it does!

Own one auto and own one manual...both make you appreciate the other.

the only thing driving an auto makes you appreciate is penis

Hand over the keys to me :P

Lol :P

How long between starts?

Mine goes flat after 2-3 weeks (gel battery) so I suspect an electrical fault somewhere?

Well I haven't driven it more than 2kms in maybe a month - started it once a week - though went to start it on Sunday and was flat, jumped it - went to start it today and flat again lol - though I only let it idle on Sunday - probably should of taken it for a bit of a drive..

how much quicker?

Well here's some of the 1/4 times for the 5.0s as you can see fair bit of difference.

Unr33l........... 12.72 @ 110mph. Auto GS.

HP-0351........ 12.92 @ 113.99mph. Manual GT.

Rockape........ 13.40 @ 108mph. Manual GS.

Generally just over half a sec which is a fair bit when down in times like these, I think the effect is even worst when they're modded / more power in them. You can also see how the GTs have a better tune from factory than the GS's in the stock comparisons.

This list hasn't been updated in ages though. One guy in a manual GT is really trying to break into the 10s hard and just cant do it, he has like 450rwkw or something lol 11.1s I think best he has got.

Only had a tune and slicks, CRAZY to get 11.3 with only that.

Once you start getting into the really fast times, autos reign superior in the straight line race; always have always will.

This man speaks the truth

Also why all the tuner shops got auto ones lol

There was a bloke at High School who we always gave crap to because he drove around in his mums car and pretended it was his own.

We'd call it the "Baby Blue Honda Jazz"... and without fail he'd always yell "It's ICE BLUE!!!!" and when we gave him crap about it being auto, he'd say that autos were faster at the drag strip... *shakes head slowly*

    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.  
    • Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
    • Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.
    • Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
