Doug's Near Miss

[battlefever91]

even if you could shift as fast as an auto box and launch as well with a manual setup, turbo's lose boost when you shift, so you're going be slower either way you look at it.. but in the end manual is a more exciting to drive on the street, and that's where it counts if it's your every day car

[itshardtothinkofanam]

fastest car in the would is an auto so shut your mouth i dont care how fast you can shift cockbags

[bdl6969]

Very Nice , Love the xr's with out the XR spoiler.

[xX3movamp1reXx]

@TurboClan depends how u shift and what kinda hardware ur runnin i know guys that can shift as quick as an auto

[TheDoogstar]

@SAWZEPP id have to say manual for the fact that you can rev the vehicle to a certain point before changing gears, sorry to say that my point of view is that manuals are better than autos in drag racing 7 out of 10 an auto will play up in a drag race thats from experience i own a supercharged vs Calais i got problems with my gearbox and as all Calais come as an auto

[MechTech82]

"but I just wanna drift..." :)

[MrSirWantalot]

Traction Control might help!!...then again

[doogstar]

Hey that's me! I will never forget that day. That's what you get for trying to run in street tyres when you have 380rwkw. It behaved a lot better with the MT semi-slicks on. I ran an 11.6 that day if I remember right.

[MrHellyeah2010]

and thats the sign of genuine grunt! lovely spoilerless look mate.

[madrx2]

lol nice guys, I like the fact you got back on it and ran over 110mph :)

[hardstylez45]

wouldn't it be a "near hit"? you don't nearly miss something, you just miss it. that term never made sense to me. nice car.

[genderbenda04]

@hardstylez45 haha you mean "near miss" buddy?

[hardstylez45]

@genderbenda04

no i dont. lol thats the whole point of my comment. read it again champ.

[genderbenda04]

@hardstylez45 ohh no worries haha. i thought you were aiming for it someway or another.

[270kphT5]

@hardstylez45 The term "near miss" IS the correct term. He got close to the wall (near) but missed it (miss) Hence the term NEAR MISS :)

[hardstylez45]

@270kphT5

yea cool. i guess i just see it differently.

[nicholasalanleexr6t]

@270kphT5 yeh but how can you nearly miss something? if you missed it you missed it! nearly is another word for close haha! silly term but everyone uses it haha

[notsosmartnow]

man they need to fix that track timer everything runs 114mph in that lane, lol i did and i was only doing 96mph, still i have the time slip and my magna did 114mph LOL vids on here somewhere too, left lane ftw

[brandong17]

fuck thats a sick car

[fprno1]

think about it

[marek0086]

"near miss" ?!......you mean, near HIT.

Whats this "near miss" bullshit!?

[Sterling0011]

easy answer, as turboclan said, manuals make mroe power because the weight of a flywheel + clutch, is less than the weight of a torque converter, and the easy answer is, drag racing = auto, rally or circuit racing = manual.

[marek0086]

thats not why!

Its because more power is lost to heat and drag in the auto fluid. Its not coz of the torque converter weight!

[Sterling0011]

yeah, basicaly what i said replace weight with resistance.

[marek0086]

no its nowhere near what u said!

[Sterling0011]

stop sooking, get a life.

[marek0086]

u talk shit.... i call u on it.... so u tell me to get a life?!

Thats pathetic... u should be ashamed of yourself.

[igorristic1982]

sorry mate but its because torque converter,just try to rev two same cars one manual other auto you will see big difference manual one is more responsive easier to rev

[xX3movamp1reXx]

@marek0086 actualy it is the torque converter that suck alot of the power away it weighs twice as much as a manual flywheel and clutch put together and then theres the slack in the hydrolic process that sucks more power away my choice is manualy plus u have more control over the gears then u do in an auto, dont matter if u have manulised it its still gotta build up the hydrolic pressure to change gears

[marek0086]

@xX3movamp1reXx~ Its not the weight of the Torque converter!!!.... The power is lost through fluid-friction!!!!!

[xX3movamp1reXx]

@marek0086 yeah keep on trying to make urself out as an expert when 2 guys have already told u that it aint what ur saying u dont know shit shut ur mouth

[xr8brisbane]

@xX3movamp1reXx personally i'm a fan of manuals and prefer to drive them, but on a strip nobody could possibly say that a manual is quicker

[xX3movamp1reXx]

@xr8brisbane i can, my dads cortina ran 12.6's and one of his mate's had same thing but it was an auto and it was runnin 13 flat

[FormulaVeeRacer1200]

@xX3movamp1reXx auto is faster for drag racing unless u have 3hp..

[mattxr6turbo]

still got a good time 2 sweet car m8 wat times have u run and how many rwkws does she have

[NTFalconAu]
