Power to weight ratio my boy, that will be 2.5kg of weight/drag the more stuff bolted to car the slower it will go unless its a sports car and 740s are not that they have the aero dynamics of a BRICK

yeah, it'd do a lot better with a boost valve and an ipd cam on it, manuals have more "get up and go" opposed to auto transmissions \:D/
edit: whens that manual transmission being put in it ?

Lower means less drag , really , it looks like a 4WD....
when you read the book I lent you, you will find the Automatic is quicker the AW71 does 0-60mph (0-97kph) under 8 seconds, nothing said about the manual. [-X
:-@ :-q
Most people cant drive manuals and steer at the same time,the gearing is wrong in most cases , the automatic only needs a line pressure increase and accumulator mod and its a rocket with power when you need it and plenty of time to see where you are going.
ok mark you were wright, its 8.3 seconds for a manual, though a modified car would improve the speed \m/
To True,
though old automatic gearboxes do tend to slip :D
And manuals tend to grind to destruction, and burn out clutches $-)

yeah, but at least they aren't common for slipping through gears =)) ;)
Education time, sell more manual gearboxes than autos, because manuals fail more, the price is higher and autos are cheaper :-B ^:)^
Manuals only burn clutches with learner drivers or people who don't know how to modulate the clutch or start in second gear which is stupid! Also the M46 is just a weak box.
For the record my wagon does 0-100 in just under 7 seconds with an AUTO....

See the mods i listed up there ^ no slip...

The way darcy does a wheel spin up his drive way, his clutch and box will last till he gets his licence. :P
And he puts one link to one person, My old 740 Turbo manual needed a M46 rebuild, which it got 3 years ago and now needs another, and this is the stronger box from the 760Turbo with better overdrive.
How long will his last, lets bet. $-)
