ah, see when you said the same car, I thought you meant the same car. Not that your mate has the same type of car but in manual form with similar engine mods...

and that you mean you think its significantly faster either by the famously accurate seat-of-the-pants, or even worse by street racing, which proves absolutely nothing when it comes to drag racing... just about every street racer gets their heart broken at the drag strip...

and when you mentioned the race track, I thought you meant you had actually raced it...

my bad...

carry on with the good advice like "all im saying is for a turbo charged car, of any sort you should always try and run a manulised auto"
