Whats best manual fto to buy ??

[fergal1980]

Im selling my gpx tip , dont get me wrong i love her to bits .But i want a manual fto as they are a lot quicker so i want a manual gpx , but you can get the gpvr manual which i know is lighter due to various weight saving restrictions but .....But has anyone driven both gpvr and manual gpx ???? Cos i was thinking a manual gpx uprated brakes, lowered, airfilter, would be just as quick and responsive as the gpvr .Dont know as ive driven neither but my friend went in a manual and couldnt get over the difference but he only had a GR only messing he had also driven mine and said it was a lot slower .Also the gpvr is pricey as not so many were made any help or opinions would be taken seriously .

the only real difference is that the GPVR has a limited slip diff, I've driven both hard enough (sorry Laura!) and TBH there's not that much between them, the only time you notice the diff is when horring it out of a roundabout.

Spec wise, I'd prefer the GPX because of the folding mirrors and climate control, on the other hand, the coloured seats, HIDs, and strut braces that the GPVR get are desirable, all can be retrofitted or alternatives to each can be had.

Personally I wouldn't pay more for a standard GPVR than I would for a GPX with the right mods, codition is more important anyway.
