As the title says which type of transmission puts more shock and is harsher on the diff and driveline. Because I reckon its a manual because their is no slippage of the a torque converter and more direct drive to the wheels. But my mate reckons its auto which I think is bullshit.

Auto will also consume more power, it's not because of the torque converter as there is a lockup clutch in there which you can activate (lock it solid). It is because of the oil pump in the transmission which has to supply oil and pressure to the clutch packs so gears are engaged, this oil pump needs power to drive it, around 30hp.

Leon i dont think there are many luxury cruiser cars you couldnt turn in to a track car with enough modification.

I drive mine like a track car(and intend to race/drift it) and I've done very little to it Callum...
Your right though, most cars can be made into one

mine is. Well one of them is. The other is more powerful, with custom dumps, more boost and a custom clutch. Go figure

My main point with my comment was more along the lines that the Soarer or SC300/SC400 was designed to fir the luxury market.
Since most luxury cars come with enhanced performance they of course will do better than your standard cars from the same era...

But if you want a car bred for the track you have to look to your Supras, your Skylines.. etc.

I think a Soarer could be compared to something like a Nissan 350z of our era; decent performance but not built to go as fast as possible.

It makes very little difference Callum, particularly when the Soarer has the same basic chassis and suspension as the Supra anyway

Supras, Skylines and Soarers and just about any other road car this side of a Lotus all have a fair way to go before they become a good track car
