I have no idea how many times I have viewed the pictures of that AC - Must be in the 100's by now!Richard has a nice AC, that's where I'd put my money.

Phil, you obviously know more on the subject than I do - unfortunately I tend to look with my eyes - fall badly then find out all the pit falls later(Its a bit like finding a wife really - she does not read this forum!!!)Although my AC was a manual I think an auto would make for pretty rapid progress, and over on the dark side there used to be some interesting views on that very subject, as there was for sprung/unsprung weight and various 'tuning' matters.

Sounds better? Why? It revs lower and changes sooner. Same engine and same throttle map.
Auto has a different engine map to the manual as far as i know, it is tuned to be less peaky, because of the long gears on the auto. SO the auto will develop more power over a wider range than the manual but probably does not have as big a kick at peak power, i suspect they are both a bit bonkers to be honest compared to the 4200 engine. However it is conceivable that the auto sounds slightly different to the manual, or it could just be the hundreds of different exhaust setup options.

Keep looking at Dicky's AC; imho before too long a few folk will regret not buying it!
I'd love another AC as a keeper but in Rosso Mondiale as black on black doesn't quite do it for me. That is a very nice example though.

Just looked again! lol. See what you are saying about Black on Black.
