ya duh, you went from a 5 spd to another 5 spd... i can drive any manual, they are all the same.. seriously, i love it when noobs get in my car and say they can drive stick and then noob out and tell me they neeed to find the "clutch point" and all that

.. but the kid never had a stick and only drove automatic.. and that was only first gear.. his car has a short shifter so sometimes you have to double clutch to get it in gear.. kind of hard when he had less than 2 hours experience with stick.. that was only first gear and the reason why it looked like a close race was because he was burning out and then had to brake.. he had almost 2 cars and if it would of been 1-2-3 he would of been gone..
