The transmission itself is lighter? ... or the rotating components of the driveline?

With the oem flywheel I agree that the rotating components of the 6spd are heavier, but very few mkiv owners that drag race run the oem flywheel. ...and if you're talking about the transmission itself, the auto is much heavier (I've carried both, so I'm speaking from personal experience).

Overall good post though ... as I posted earlier I very much agree with you that an auto is the way to go if you're serious about drag racing the mkiv...

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
