The auto is actually surprisingly... not bad.
It's atrociously awful when you drive it in 'D' but if you set it in manual, and keep it in 1st 2nd or 3rd as required, it's actually quite responsive.
Will be interesting to see how it goes on the track.
After driving it for a bit, I dont think it's going to be as much of a disadvantage as I first thought it would be.
Am also gonna have some semislicks this time around... My beams car kept overheating street tires, is what was holding it back from quicker times
Also fitted up the beams muffler and a decat pipe, cos I had them laying around gathering dust/insects/etc.
