manual vs. auto

Here are my thoughts...these are just opinions...I'm not a professional driver, but I am an engineer by degree and a fireman by trade...that means I know absolutely nothing.

Anyhow.

It seems to me that approximately 11 inches more on wheel base (club vs. coupe)really does change the dynamics of the ride. It is still very fun an nimble, just not as nimble as the coupe.

The auto trans is another story, on the loaner there is a noticable hesitation from gas pedal application to movement and acceleartion. I can make the hesitation go away in the "sport" mode, but the shift points seem way off. The way this loaner drives, the club drives like a compac economy car, not a cool sporty little car.

Can't wait to get mine back, was supposed to be ready yesterday, was'nt, may have to wait til Monday. Nice of the dealership to let me keep the club over the weekend.

Have a good and safe holiday all.
