manual and auto have only 1 sec dfference dont they?

 

[Captain KRM P5]

at the track my friend's stock Protege5 with a manual ran a 17 second 1/4 mile

 

[mp5jeff]

yes, about 1 second(slower for the auto) i believe.

8.8sec to 60mph -motor trend ,manual

9.2sec to 60mph -car&driver, manual

10.9sec for auto/consumer reports

Wow, that is much worse than i thought they were. No wonder most people tried to talk me into the speed versus buying a 5

 

[jjac28]

dude, what are you expecting from a 130 hp 2l engine???

the numbers are good if compared to anything in its class....

auto is slow, the manual is decent enough for everyday driving or racing form a stop light

if you want to go on a track and have good 1/4 times than p5 is not the car for you

the fsde is an archaic engine...been around for well over a decade with little improvement...you get some low end torque but nothing up high as the engine can't breathe...forced induction is the only way to get these engines to breathe

I just time mine with a calendar.

it seems like it takes my car about a minute to get to 60mph sometimes

The car seems to pull harder in 3rd than any other gear. Not too worry about 0-60, quick enough for a daily driver.
