his is a manual and mine sadly is an automatic, I never learned to drive a stick and can hardly drive with 2 hands much less one. Any replies will be welcomed and read.
Assuming you'll be racing him at the track...just race him and find out. If he's being a pain, just take him out and shut him up. The guy sounds like a moron for talking crap about V6 Mustangs. I mean is the V6 Mustang the performance bar or something?
You shouldn't have a problem with him. You should have him off the line, and be able to hold the lead. But if you wanna really take care of him, get some gears.
hes going to get you either way , you have a heavier car , with more torque but unfortunately alot less HP than the prelude and your automatic transmission is going to suck up alot of the HP you do have ......
