Maybe you can try racing a Lexus IS 350. now that will be interesting, they are way faster than the Z's
Why in the world would they make 2 different output cars, jsut based on tranny?. I know they did bump the output on the newer Z's (i believe 05+) from ~280hp to 306hp, maybe it's just hte older ones?.
From a roll a manual will typically take the jump faster than an Auto btu from a dig Autos will get the advantage
