I just drive my car
Which do you prefer Cam? A car with boost or no boost?

Can't hold it in a gear Jim?
Broke the toggle switch so it's stuck in POWWWWWWWERRRRRRRRR mode. Everytime i want to fist it in the gear i'm in, it deems it necessary to kick down one.... infuriating.

So POWWWWEEERRRRRR mode isn't as good as what it's title suggests?
Considered a manual swap?

I have.
My wallet on the other hand....
I miss the free revving of a manual...though, it's nice to be lazy in with the AT sometimes, and STILL blow away newbs.

What sort of money are you looking at for a manual swap? Or do you just go all out and do a 6 speed swap..
Sometimes in traffic I do wish I was in an auto..

I've had boosted cars for a few years now. I love boost. You will always be chasing more when you think you are happy.
At the same time, I love a very high compression engine with a close ratio box behind it. 5th gear from 40kph on a flat surface and it will just keep going.

Boost is always nice but as you said a high compression engine where there's no lag must be nice too.

I try and drive normally, but then I get frustrated with all the muppets on the road and just end up on WOT for the rest of the journey

Somedays. But then I'd get so bored every other day.

True, I'll put up with a manual in traffic for the fun on the weekends.

thats why you need two cars
hahaha I think the daily would still be a manual..

I guess there two completely different driving experiences too.

They really are. As a daily drive, I love the smoothness of it.

So you don't miss the boost?

I've got plenty of mates with boosted cars that I work on frequently, I get my fix
I'll take the 6 banger any day of the week though #fanboi
