What makes the auto touring models so heavy?
Im in the market for an fd and was just reading over some stuff and i noticed the auto touring model is 2923 lbs versus the 5-speed touring model is 70lbs lighter. why is this? and also what makes the touring model so heavy compared to the r1 and base?

A/T should be illegal for sports cars. Honestly what kind of ***** driver buys a sports car and not want to learn how to drive M/T. A/T has more reslae value. **** taht, auto makers should just stick to M/T for sports car taht way people won't have to convert it later, find a parts car

Its like none of you read his post. He said what is dif between a auto touring and a manual touring. They both have sun roof, rear wiper, leather, cruis control, bose, and every thing else that make a touring. The only dif is the tranny and im sure the auto has a tranny cooler. The auto has to weight more than a manual tranny.

Seems to me all the people that think Auto's are for "pussies" haven't realized all the race cars have gone to some sort of auto transmissions, just because the "drivers" aren't all they think they are. The rest of us PRO's still drive our manuals on the street. Power glide is still king in Pro street, all the top fuel cars run a direct drive just change the pressure applied to the clutch.

You guys need to remember that some of the fastest cars in the world in terms of straightline racing use an auto transmission. Of course in a car like the rx7 that wasnt built for straightline racing, i agree with the 7club.
