Cool how does it compare to the cavy? Ride? Comfort? Speed Handling? Why not manual?
My car is much faster that yours :p
Tiburon* lol had to catch my own spelling mistake..
didnt get a manual because they did not have one only had this one.. plus it will be better for the supercharger they make for it.. comfort? far better then my cavy ya im going to miss my cavy alot it will always have a spot with me but ive had bad luck with them decided to try something new..
comfort ya its alot better the factory race seats really hug you and are comfortable..
ride its nice its a stiff ride but you dont notice bumps really also in corners theres no body roll at all really or none i can feel steering on it is tight and responsive.
speed ive only had it upto 80 it took corners on the highway nice though really responsive steering as i said above and no body roll ive got to get use to it before ill do corners faster.

Thats cool man post pics, how far performance wise are you planning for the car? Going for a certain fwhp?

Good choice, but damn......post some pics!
last time I was at the track I ran a kid with that car with the Jackson S/C (I believe it was Jackson) he was running about 9.3-9.5 on the 8th. I wasnt sure about his driving skills though because I beat him on the first pass because he said he shifted into 3rd off the line, something about the close gears on the 6th speed. I really like the car though.
How many steps to heaven, Doc?
...Ah, metaphysics.
actually ive seen them run in the 1/4 out here with the supercharger they sound sweet as hell.. anyways the auto tibby was running i believe a mid to low 13 in the 1/4 and the 6 speed was running a 14.1 in the 1/4 with a slipping clutch.. also the auto had his boost at 13psi.
the car is fun though im still use to my cav when you go into a corner you catch some body roll this thing doesnt have any body roll in corners and the steering isnt loose its tight and responsive. also the seats are nice they hug you in place

actually scott the auto was pretty much low 13's all night
the 6spd was low 15's , once he let stuff cool down , he did manage a few close to mid 14 sec passes
both had the alpine s/c kits
the 6spd had a header back exhaust , the auto just had a cat back
Sounds like whoever was driving can't shift.
bad clutch , and he had to limp the car off the line
Nice choice!

Not true, when left in drive the car doesn't get the full use of its powerband because it shifts a few 100 rpms before it really needs/has to.

not really if you are use to driving a stick you know when to shift and just know by the sound of the motor

ok my eco cav i drove like it was a damn indy car after the accident the motor was gone over and was found to be in perfect shape.. thats pretty much 33k miles of almost redline shifting.. just because an automatic shifts sooner then it actually shouldnt doesnt mean its bad to keep the car itself in gear longer by manually shifting.
