i think it all whinds down to personal preference its 2011 going on 12 and i think in this day in age the lines of which are better are heavily blurred for my manual users just face it..manuals are no longer superior cause the computer chips acts faster than a human and for my auto users just face it that manuals are more fun... case and point...
thing is that auto's are smoother and faster shifting (depending on the car) and well im sorry but manuals are just so fun. every gearbox has a purpose. manuals save gas and are fun for the track, normal autos are great town cruisers, and sport autos change gears faster than a human ever can ever shift.
@2002j30a1 wait so tell me..should i get a auto crx or stick since i wana race in road race?? I got the corners but will auto be able to hold position on straights?
um i dont know where yall have been drag racing but drag cars are manuals and dont say anything about top fuel because they only have 2 gears which are forward and reverse
A stick with a proper clutch is always better. ALWAYS, don't even try to argue this because if you do that just means you don't know how to drive a stick.
your right manual is better as you can shift quicker and get a smoother shift, autos are jerky and horrible things, as it shows in this video there slower aswell as the o6 wrx is quicker than the 08 wrx
your stupid. the 06' blue car had a bad launch..... and stick and auto arent a big difference. alot of people can make autos faster than stick if they dial in shift times properly.
if you compare times it won, but if you raced someone and they slept at the tree for a full second and then had a better time would you give them the credit of a win?
I must agree that BUILT auto trannys are better, but stock auto to stock manual, most of the times the manual will take it with some exceptions. The m3 SMG believe it or not is faster than the manuals!!! few other cars auto is also faster somehow!!!
and, so you too think you know everything about cars do you lmao ok good luck with that, you clearly have no concept of how cars work. with an auto you can make much quicker and smoother changes, autos are only good if you have a massive amount of acceleration as you wudnt be able to change fast enough !
thats y drag cars are mostly auto cuz they can shift quicker!!! u guys are arguing over nothin! In circuit manuals are much better, but some auto cars are developing Duble Cluch automatics which shift faster than the human driver without any loss when downshifting and it curves, but those are still expensive. Hell I drive an tip-tronic auto, but while it is not as fun as a manual it still does half the job!!! So Drag Racing=Automatic. Circuit=manual. Around City=Manual or auto(WHO CARES)
The new automatic shifting race cars are quicker. The Porsche 911 Turbo with the paddle shifting double clutches are 0-60 in 3.3 seconds versus that of 3.8 seconds with the six speed manuals. You will find similar numbers with the Ferraris.That is with the professionals driving them, of course.
I think manuals are much more pleasurable to drive and I don't ever want to be without one, but the newly engineered autos are able to shift at greater speed and precision than a human can.
@goldsgym1244 You don't choose a manual to shift quicker than an auto, you to it so you can choose your RPMs for the gears. If you use a manual right it is faster than auto in most new cars. Some of them, auto is just faster, say in your high end mercedes with 7 and 8 gears, etc.
@goldsgym1244 Your an idiot, you know that right? You clearly said that the autos aren't as smooth as a manual you assss and I was objecting and telling you that they are in fact smoother just in smartalec way.
@sa8901 look what you just wrote! your the fucking idiot. autos are only smoother if you can drive a manual and if your a yank then ill let you off as most of you cant!yh they maybe smoother in cruizers etc but in performanc cars they are shit!
SMGs are not automatics. They use a hydro-clutch. I define an automatic as a transmission with a torque converter. SMG trannys do not have a torque converter.
DO you push in a clutch on a SMG M3? HEll migh as well be auto, but i get what u are saying. Im not sure what the mini cooper uses, but their autos are faster than the manuals!!!! oh well it dosent really matter, its all about what u preffer.
@themisiek2 i know your comment is a year old but i sill wanted to tel lyou that youre a total dumbass. a stick with a proper clutch is still at the mercy of the driver. a properly built auto would rape your stupid ass all day long.
nathanial, what the hell are you talking about when you said "i dont get why people are so proud and modify a 4 door car". Here are few nice 4 door cars, STI,Evo, m5 etc... Just cus a car doesnt have 2 doors, and its not blue, red or yellow color, doesnt mean that its a slow and un-tunable car.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i dont get why people are so proud and modify a 4 door car. if it is automatic and has 4 doors it may as well be a mini van or designed for the loser that everyone hangs out with, so they can use him as a taxi and the 4 door make it easier to get in and out of.
it's cheap speed, for kids who can put a cheap BOV and slap on that TIGHT exhaust yyyooo, that's who buys them. people who don't want to put real money into making a fast car.
ppl like me who dont have use ov a clutch leg....duno y they were goin so slow in dat race mine kills any thing round here and thats a 96 wrx ..gose like shit off a shovel
Congrats on the win ! Thats me in the 08 With cobb stage 1 no other mods . I just installed cobb downpipe what an improvement hoping to get into the 13s .
@ImportRace a lightweight battery? the the most pointless mod... if your car is actually affected by a minimal difference in battery weight, i dont think you should be bothering racing with it.....
next brake boost you would of launched the shit out of it. if you were able to keep up with him just by flooring it i could imagine what a launch would do.
Very nice I wish my 04 can do that. but I'm getting a 98 coupe 2.5 RS or a P1 if lucky a 22B LOL Summer of next year as soon as my Scoby is payed off.

depends on the skills of the driver. Considering how auto transmission have much more consistency then a low-average person driving a standard.
