As someone who started with 6-gear cars and moved on to 5-gear, I think it's good to learn both. Not too hard overall, and after a while the transition is easy. ^^

You can get some great lines with auto. I had a bad shifter today and went auto, and my lines got better. :3 But the reason why I prefer manual is because of the amount of versitility it brings. The same level of adjustment when recovering/battling is quite difficulty to do with auto, so I think. ^^

Although, you'll be happy to hear that auto brought me 8 stars today... with BUNNY! >D My auto driving school soccer-mom-mobile schooled a group of mid-B rankers looking for a fish on my C2 car. Suckers. :3

I don't really find the 6 gears hard XD I just kinda like 5 more than 6. You can call it some kind of preference? XD Auo is fine and all. I just got so used with manual XD

wow is it really that good??? hmm let me try making one again

changing from 5 gears to 6 gears or vice versa is pretty much not that hard.its just a matter of getting use to.from my experiences if you use a 6 gear car and you change to a 5 gear car.you only have to shift a little more late than your normal shifting in a 6 gear car

^- I got used to it fast but all I'm saying is if I have the choice. 5 for me is better XD

But 6 is technically better. More shifting points, so more control. Technically.

^- True. I find my Z34 at times easier to use because I only go 6-5 and sometimes go 4 XD unlike in my FD where I have to always slant my shifting from 5-4 XD

It's all good... I still prefer 6 gears but 5 gear cars don't really make a difference to me on my r33.

It is, but at times I find myself liking the arrangement of 5 more for certain turns. ^^

Stop being fussy!

I'm just a sad panda because nobody wants to get their ass kicked by me these days... I mean vs... same thing. :P

really? Well, you have to shift less with a 5 gear car, that's for sure

really now o_o I think I shift more with a 5 gear than a 6 gear lol.

Well, i guess that is true because for every slight bump you have to shift down, unlike 6 speed cars you can take a little bump but 5th/6th gear should be sufficient...

Well, you shouldn't...

Cause in a 5 gear car, the gear ratio is higher, so the acceleration will still be there, you don't need to shift down as much.

Is that so hmm I'll try fixing my driving more I guess XD Man it's been how many days already since I last played @_@

I haven't played for 3 weeks!

i think thats about 3 days longer than i havent played

But I rarely play and I'm a noob man DX I must play @_@

Then play more my friend!

i wanna see a s15 battle an r32 at hakone.... similarly in real life, they're both good drifting machines

S15 is a pretty damn good car, in MT (and RL).

in real life is it a gas guzzler? and does it require high maintenance costs?

I thought the s15 wasn't that bad at petrol consumption, unless you modded it for drifting hence high revs and lots of petrol going in, but unmodded, i thought it was pretty good for mileage per tank... I may be wrong. Someone pls find out?

Maintenance cost i have no idea.

maintaining a S15 is not that hard actually engin and body parts is cheap since the car is popular used to know a guy with a nice S15 back at the shop

The SR20 engine is pretty simple, so I don't think maintaining it will be all that hard.
