Wow, you're so lucky! Try racing your dad in the GT3 on a track day.

BTW, I love your Integra also. Looks like you keep it in good shape.

Seat on the passenger's seat and try, then make a report.

Exactly. If anyo of you ever go to europe don't worry. It doesn't take to much to learn. Sure the downshifts are farther away, but that's no problem. I find it more ergonomical actually.

Most of us do but many performance cars are only manuals. This being said Ive driven a 5 speed and me and my friends thought it would be so hard to drive and get use to. Is first gear close to you or would that be fifth?

a guy who works for dad will be taking us to track days, he races every 3 months in an STi with 400hp at the wheels
the integra has been babied, hasn't given me a problem and it's 15 years old

no especially when you're used to it it isn't too hard to adapt either
