having to go into 3rd to hit 60 kills the number on paper
how to not be shunned by oblivious fast and the furious enthusiasts? :O at least the car looks fast better yet, imagine a world where everything little thing wasn't compared, nit picked and measured in numbers. but instead decisions were based on feel, whoa mind blown thanks to fairly lightweight this car will feel faster than these numbers suggest, it will feel faster than bigger cars that go faster even better yet, you can take the corner faster, and taking corners fast is even more fun than going in a straight line fast whoa mind blown more Last edited by Steve; 04-29-2012 at 11:05 PM. |

Ive been wanting to say this for a while and have yet to hear anyone mention it... When driving an automatic i dont care what shoes/sandals/barefoot im using cause it all feels the same... Boring/non-engaging
On the opposite side, change up the shoes while driving a manual and the feel changes... This is the number one reason i hate dressing up and wearing dress shoes cause it changes the feel of my clutch and gas pedal to a point of less feel... I love driving in my "chucks" cause it promotes the best feel between pedal and foot For all u automatic drivers out there, u'll never experience that cause its all the same when stepping on the gas and brake pedal with the right foot... U have no idea how ur left foot and right foot push the pedals differently... The clutch pedal is always stiiffer than the brake and gas pedal... U'll be able to tell when driving a manual with different shoes, or by pushing the clutch pedal with ur right foot at a dead stop. (i dont recomend doing this while actual driving) Anyways, driving an automatic takes away the feel of the car, not by inches but miles(pun intended) |

The main reason this car will feel faster is due to the low driving position - look at onboard driving videos with different camera mounts to see this - low-mounted bumper cams make a car feel much faster. Light weight will contribute a bit primarily due to the vehicle's reduced isolation from NVH, which can add to the subjective sensation of speed.

The Automatic is better on gas because it has a double overdrive 0.713 0.582 4th-1.000 while the 6MT is a single overdrive 0.767/ 5th-1.000.
The 6MT is faster because its 1/2 gearing is slightly higher. So the MT is for the enthusiast/track while the AT is more for the daily driver who wants better gas mileage. Since the transmission gearing is very different a MT car is very different speed wise from the AT car. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5280 Quote:
