automatics take away the human error in shifting the torque converter does all the work and gets it right all the time meaning perfect launches all the time
@GMdrivingMOPARguy You've got to be on some good drugs... Maybe on a straight line with some cars but on a track having control of your shift points and rpms is crucial.
@Mechafizz024 You have just as much control of the gears in an automatic as in a manual, i agree on a road course manual is generally better because you have more compression braking and can use the clutch to your advantage but with a simple shift kit you can up and downshift an automatic when you want
@GMdrivingMOPARguy im gna punch u n the mouth thats the dumbest thing ive ever heard.u should nevr comment agn.hey dumbshit the automatic shifts at lower rpms .wow lets do the math.shut the hell up and nevr post agn
@toxicdiesel105 They let you past 1st grade with that spelling? I need to call that school. The automatic shifts it where it needs to, overrevving it more often then not helps in no way at all. But if your so convinced you need RPM then just hold the transmission out, thats what the 1 2 and 3 on the shifter are for
@GMdrivingMOPARguy Man thank god someone finally agrees with me. Autos are better for the Strip and track...trust me my family has been doing it for 30 years. But i personally love Manuals much more so much funner to drive!
@GMdrivingMOPARguy depends on the race... drag, auto, street race, manual (of course it depends on driver too), but especially if its a well tuned auto they're pretty damn slick..
Anyon who honestly thinks the average auto tranny shifts faster than the average manual is fucking stupid. obviously there are exceptions to both rules, but unless you have an auto that was extremely expensive, a decent manual driver will take you off the line AND from a roll if he knows how to downshift.
@iloveduchess I have to ask then....why is it that my 5.0 fox...auto jumped quicker than ANY 5 speed stang or whatever car for that matter ENOUGH to make a quicker 1/4 mile time and 0 to 60 times? hmmm.
If you honestly think automatics 'dominate' at dragstrips, you are completely ignorant. Any driver will tell you that manuals will always be quicker than automatics, especially off the line. The only case where an automatic is faster than a manual is the newer dual-clutch transmissions. Even those are slower off the line. Except when rolling, they beat manuals. You either need to learn how to launch RWD or educate yourself and stop being completely ignorant.
@jakubgt1 This guy is a fucking dick head. Do you know how dumb you sound. Autos pull 10 times better 60 fts than manuals. You sir are a fucking ignorant dipshit. You have absolutly no clue what u are talking about.
@TheMpatton I have to ask then....why is it that my 5.0 fox...auto jumped quicker than ANY 5 speed stang or whatever car for that matter ENOUGH to make a quicker 1/4 mile time and 0 to 60 times? hmmm.
@Jessegpgt What are you trying to prove... I said automatics are better for the strip now your saying autos are better for the strip.......did I miss sopmething? Fill me in.
I don't know why the GTO got so much criticism. I love it. But then again it depreciated alot in value so maybe that's why I look alot more highly of it than when it was 30k dollars
ask anybody in the world why driving a manual is faster. its not how fast you shift, its when you shift. in an auto you have no control over that. plus you can double clutch in a manual, which is by far one of the best ways to win a long drag race.
No, i dont think u get it. i have too much power under a lightweight back end. its impossible to even go full throttle without going in a full 180 spin. It happens to cars with light rear ends
That's what you get it tuned for. Very few people can shift as fast as an automatic. You should quit watching so many fast and furious movies brian, quit your ricer talk, and read a book about something.
i'll stop watching fast and furious movies if you get your head up out your ass or stop speaking from it. and bitch the only ricer talk i hear is from you pussy shaped mouth.
Hey rice boy aint you in the wrong room go join your other 4banger friends.O yeah autos beat sticks around the track dont beleave me just go check out the cts-v and the bmw m5 you idoit.
Hey dipshit dont beleave me go to motor trend and check it out you dumb mother fucker.The cts-v used a automatic around the track and is the fasted 4 door luxery car in the world.the autos 0-60 is 3.9 and the manual is 4.1-4.3 so no your facts punk.
Bitch ive been driving semis for 3 years now i drive a 13speed so what the fuck you talken about go get a job then come and talk shit to me you fucking punk.What because you drive a little o 6 speed makes you bad ass are somthing son you aint shit so shut your mouth how did you learn to drive a stick by shifting your boyfriends dick your faggot.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
take your mom's dick up out your face and get a clue. lol you drive a semi.... pshhhh.... i drive a ferrari with 20 gears and sheit. stfu pole smoker. bitch you aint shit enough to say sheit so just go eat sheit and die. truck driver? LOL. you would be...
OK 20 gears i beat you give your gear shift head going down the road you faggot.And let me no when you make 300,000 a year you broke as punk go ask daddy for some more money i beat if you fuck your fat stinky ass mom for him he would be glad to give you money you sick fuck.
Your fucking stupid you idoit you do not no how to spell you kid.You spell dipsheit wrong let me show you how to spell it so you will get it right next time DIPSHIT hope that helps later son.
stfu idiot. that's just the way i spell it. do you really think that i give a rats ass what a fucking simpleton truck driver thinks? don't forget to cup the nuts bitch.
OK 20 gears i beat you give your gear shift head going down the road you faggot.And let me no when you make 300,000 a year you broke as punk go ask daddy for some more money i beat if you fuck your fat stinky ass mom for him he would be glad to give you money you sick fuck.
lol, check it out alittle tuned up automatics are faster then manual, know what your talking about before you speak, 90% of all high end drag cars are automatic
stfu. automatics are for talentless hacks who think of themselves as racers when you know for a fact that it takes much more than just pressing the accelerator. i've always said that the 1/4 mile is just a display of raw power. "last one there is a rotten egg..." i prefer a road course where a driver is in complete control of his vehicle instead of just being able to go in a straight line. congrats your CAR is better at acceleration. 100% of track cars are manual. track > drag.
charlie boy, that explains it, you have posted most of the comments on this video and all of them are pure ignorance, so please do us all a favor and shut the fuck up!
@5PTWHOA Yeh why is it everytime someone posts a video of an American sports car someone always has to come in with there ricer 4 banger saying they can do it in half the time. I seldom see Mustangs trolling the corola videos.
@KHollow88 mhmm... the only people who believe that are those who think fast and furious are completely real. i am a huge fan of standards and i love them... but you cannot shift faster than an automatic.
You know these GTO's look like shit but god damm do they run! Was in 06 this summer an 140 came up real fast unlike my mustang GT. Thanks for the vid!
