I switch to manual probably 40% of the runs. Honestly...auto works very well.. When I do use manual I've learned to use auto for launch and into 3rd gear and then switch to manual. I find it too hard to shift perfectly manually from 1 to 2 and 2 to 3 so I move the shifter to manual once in third and attempt to shift at ~ 7,200 rpms for higher gears. The RS3 gives you another ~200 rpms in the higher gears when in manual mode. Although I've bounced it off the rev limiter many times trying to get those extra 200rpm's and botched the run so I'm unsure its worth it. My best run ever was manually shifting but my second and third fastest were using auto.
Car seems to be running good. Hope to see you up there this Friday.
I see you switch from Auto to Manual. Do you find you get better times shifting yourself? If so, what rpm do you shift at typically?
