so is it true a g8 gt can out run most bmw's? my dad refuses to believe it since he use to drive for them...i think he knows its true but his pride wont allow it haha

[Weldon]

and also!!! can my stock g8 gt out run a 2006 mustang gt cali seriese

[GT-610]

alot of bimmers will easily beat the gt with a good driver as they are maunals, but there are quite a few that the gt will beat
examples:335i,m3,m5,Z8 should all win in a straight line

Implying that manual is faster? How do you figure?

[Weldon]

ya how do you figure? i personally think that with how smart these new cars computers are, automatics are quicker...because the computer **when its floored** switches perfectly....chances of it messing up are wayyyyy low compared to all the things that cud come into play with a manual...stalling, foot slips off clutch while switching, missing a gear, shifting to soon, shifting to late and redlining i think automatics can be quicker and always safer...thats what i think tho...anyone think the same>?

Automatics have been quicker for many years.

well some of the "autos" like the m3 are manuals they just have a computer controlled clutch (actually clutches) and can shift themselves... they are halla faster than an auto and faster than a stick.

Manuals that shift themselves? Sounds a bit like an auto....
