That laggy feeling is more in the transmission controller, less in the turbo.

i'd like to think stick is better for an everyday boosted driver... yea you got auto for the track.. and the 1/4 time may be faster... but just because you can hold the brake and gas to spool doesnt mean its gonna be faster... imo a stick is better overall... here's some real advice.. ditch the car completely... buy a ex that is already stick... its just easier that way... its cool to be unique and "custom" but man it comes with a hefty pricetag :bigok:
