Here is the standard way of leaving manual drivers for dust...

Wait until they settle into 6th then floor it.
so then you will only be racing yourself if manual drivers settle in sixth gear, you come across like them turbo diesel drivers who put their foot down over 20 yards in traffic trying to prove something

Thanks - interesting stuff.

Anyone know of any problems with the manual gearboxes??

I've heard a few who have had problems with the dual mass flywheel
