PC680
Small 680 cranking amp battery with metal jacket and SAE automotive terminals. Also available without the metal jacket for low temperature applications. Battery measures 3.11" wide x 7.27" long x 6.67" tall with the metal jacket and weighs 15.4 pounds. Recognize that the reserve rating is small, so storage time with computer draw can discharge the battery in a few weeks. Ideal for Street Rods up to 5.7 liter V-8. Can be mounted in the glove box flat on its back - only 3 1/8 inch high.

I realize I may be turning in my man-card by asking this question, but how good is the BR-Z/FR-S automatic transmission? As much as I like to get a stick, for the other 90% of the time that I would care less for one, this is actually quite a difficult decision for me. I hear the technology is borrowed from the IS-F, but I've been thinking REALLY? I live in Los Angeles and this will be my primary car. I understand it will be a bit slower going from 0-60 compared to the manual, but I won't be drag racing. Honestly, I probably won't spend much time on the track either.

You'll never miss a paddle shift or grind gears. You won't be burning up your clutch trying to stop/start up hills. Honestly, the only downside to the automatic is that it doesn't launch nearly as fast. Otherwise, it autoblips downshifts and won't let you downshift to a gear that'll put you past the redline. It just beeps at you. You can use the paddles in auto or manual mode. I've also gotten as good as 34 mpg on the freeway during the jammed-up 4th of July holiday weekend. IMO, unless the person is a stupid-fast autocrosser, I laugh at people pissing and moaning about the auto trans. The auto is the perfect lazy man's race car. Makes me wish my STI had a rally sequential trans with paddles. Might be a future investment. |

The manual adds to the fun... sure traffic sucks, but changing up and down is much more fun when really driving the car!
I'd only get an auto if it was similar to the PDK or other lightning quick cars... on this... nah. Had mine for over 2 years now and loving it, gears and all! PS) Drop that man card in the box in the corner |

When it comes “driving” the manual is always the answer.
