[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 197662, member: 55"] Flatlander? :lol: Knowing how to use engine braking to your advantage (which should be easier, given the manual gearbox) should eliminate most worries of brake fade. Never fails, though, we get some idiot bus driver, with a load of kids on some sort of trip up from Florida every so often, who smokes the brakes, and ends up killing all of them when they barrel roll off the side of the mountains up here. :( :shock: Yeah, but you have a torque converter and clutch packs (which, especially on the earlier models in the '01 series, don't have the greatest track record, even without towing). Not only are they more expensive to replace, but you can't really baby them like you can a conventional clutch, when you are loaded down heavy. I'd take the manual gearbox any day of the week, especially when pushing the limits of the car. [/QUOTE]
