To all who is thinking of giving up their autos for a 5 speed
Medicsonic and I represented the 4th Gen autos last night at the Pike and did a damn good job of it. No more will people argue that the autos are slow. Medic is modded and I am STOCK, yes STOCK!
People involved in the race were:
Toylet - 5 Speed/Modded 5th Gen
Medic - Auto/Modded 4th Gen
Me - Auto/Stock 4th Gen
DMBMaxima - 2002 6 speed
Sprint - 5 Speed/Modded 4th Gen
Yo_its_ok - Auto/Modded(I think) 5th Gen
Quansung - 5 Speed/Modded 5th Gen
Along for the ride was Clee and Synki.
There were more cars with us and I don't know what happened to them (I guess they couldn't keep up
)
Beautiful runs guys.
Clee should be editing vids as we speak.
Craig Mack, this was dedicated to you.

I can def say auto 4th gens were represented VERY VERY well. I must admit, i never thought the autos could hand w/ modded 5spds. Big ups to Greg & Dana last night for the auto perf. You def shocked all of us. Great job! I didnt even think an auto would hang with us during 130+mph runs. Too bad Steve almost lost it w/ the 2k2. 
Just wait till my monster is back and i pay you guys another visit. Me & Dennis has some early morning breakfast on teh way home. Some 5spds actually got walked by autos and i will leave them nameless. The point is, dont let auto get to your head, trust me, they have plenty of potential!

Deezo, Paramedic, you make me proud.
I thought medic had a VB upgrade and thats it? What kinda mods does he have ? Did you guys ever race from a dead stop ? Now, if you hung with the 5spds from there then THAT would be impressive! Us automagics still can't peel out like the 5spds can.
Good goin' fellas.

BTW-Greg has something things under there. Greg is fast, that is why he is part of sx7r.
Now if only D did something about being stock and we can talk.

Re: To all who is thinking of giving up their autos for a 5 speed
Thanks for the encouraging words Dana
my reasons for kind of wanting a 5-speed is that it can take a bigger beating then my automagic. (at least it seems so) It's also supposed to be faster and more fun to drive.
But I like my auto, just don't like other little things that bother me. I will be modding my car for handling, looks and comfort, speed doesn't bother me much since I don't race.

There were more cars with us and I don't know what happened to them (I guess they couldn't keep up )
Beautiful runs guys.
Clee should be editing vids as we speak.

Don't think it was ... it was a spur-of-the-moment type thing. And I was in the car, so ... footage from my end would have been pretty pointless. I didn't even know he was going to do it.

Re: To all who is thinking of giving up their autos for a 5 speed
It's not about speed, it's about enthusiasm. It's more fun to clutch than it is to mash the accelerator, imho. I never bought the argument that it's a pain to have a manual near the city, therefore choose an auto. Sometimes there is no choice, like in the CL-S Type or 750il. But when you can choose, the standard tranny will always rule.
