No D2 Td5 Auto's in town that I can check against Pedro

There are so many combinations these days mate - whats it mean anymore.

traditional manual gearbox.
Auto-shifting twin cluitch manual gearboxes.
traditional Automatic gearboxes
CVT's

etc etc etc.

I reckon ... What it comes down to is: Do i spend a lot of time in traffic.

In the modern era of cars I beleive it's considered that the autos are quicker.

Which I am unsure of myself.

But I am certain the manuals were much quicker in the older and heavier vehicles.

to make it "Vlad simple"

is a 2004 auto XR falcon quicker to 100 than manual?

I'll make it Pedro - proof.

Depends on how good the driver is at heel and toe gearchanges.

But you don't heal and toe during an acceleration test.
