I just raced a dodge stealth (the n/a one) and yeah...from a rolling start we would be even until like 77+ he would start pulling. We then tried rolling start and I got him there. I was using the sport shifter, should I just drive with the auto mode? Anyone have tips for launching? One time I held the brake down and gassed it until it was go time, but I didnt really notice a difference, Maybe I did the method wrong.

2.) There's no way in hell an AT RX-8 is going to beat an RSX Type-S unless your friend is the worlds worst driver.
3.) The WRX is available in automatic.
4.) Knock off the stupid racing, you're just supporting many people's belief that a kid shouldn't be given a nice car.
5.) Not only is the AT RX-8 not fast off the line, it's not fast at any time.

LOLCongrats on your new ride. I just recently bought the '07 Galaxy Grey, but I indulged in the MT...
If you got the sport package, your first mod should be new wheels so that it's not a dead giveaway you're an AT.

2)Your totally mistaken. The RSXS pulls less Torque and HP than even the AT RX8 and slower 1/4. The only thing it has on me is it being manual and it having VTEC/OD.
3)Partially False. ONLY the limited edition WRX came with AT, in my area it is either hard to find (We went to 5 different Subaru dealers), or it is marked up.
4)I will =P Then again I am sure I would do the same in a 95 civic for the few moments I enjoy it hehe
5)Someones in a bad mood? I already knew what I was going to get when my mom signed the papers, A rotary engine car that is DIFFERENT than the rest of the world! But yeah your probably just looking out for the safety of everyone and I know I was being stupid (17=thinks I am invincible..) so I'll stop until I go to the track!

Power!!
^^Don't mind Ike. He just shows up to put down the 8 because he has an EVO. Funny thing is he spends more time here than most of the 8 drivers. We all know he really has 8 envy.
