The manuals are a lot more timid when planting them, found that out while test driving LS2 R8

Theres not much between the auto and manual track times these days either anyway.

Well, a manual would eat an auto around a race course, but down a straight the difference is neglible.

This is true...
I reckon you get a better launch off the mark in an auto, especially if you stall it up and ride the brake. Gotta try not to get wheelspin though... ;)

VYSS 5.7 M6
Awsome ride dude!! I have the exact same colour VY SS as you though its a 6 speed :D.. Ive owned autos all my life and will say driving the manual with this much grunt is alot of fun! :D.. Picked her up for $27400 2 weeks ago :D I too want to get her lowered a bit and have changed the engine covers already :D

Yeah very nice car man. I bet you're stoked with it. I've just recently got myself a VY II Berlina not a SS I know but it's got a 5.7 Gen III under the bonnet and like you when you put your foot down it just goes!

The SS's are a beautiful car. I've just ordered myself a set of VZ SS mags to go on mine . Maybe I shoulda just got an SS instead :)

$27400 ?? Ouch!! Thats the thing about Holdens, they depreciate too quickly. :ranting:
I got mine new for over $20K more than that only 2 1/2 years ago!! That sux, oh well might be time to update - VZ SS or a Clubbie maybe?? ;)
