@trowa98 but the manual has a lot more feedback and is a lot more fun to drive

[geeerms]

@trowa98 yea..100% faster than a BAD driver. These Auto clutches are only fractions of a second faster than an AVERAGE driver can shift a standard manual. Also, that does not take into consideration that you cannot powershift with an auto clutch, the engine throttles down in anticipation of the shift, giving the driver less control of the acceleration. If you have ever driven a car with a manual transmission(driven it properly) and compared it with ANY auto clutch system you'd see the difference

@spforsupergringo1980 when you said manual i thought you were talking about the book -_-

@chrisluvjh god damnit ur right, i should go return my evo now. what a piece of shit car, they didn't put enough thought into the stability control button.. geez, what is wrong with mitzubishi.. they USED to be quality cars, now this new evo is such a piece of shit. I bet if you pressed that button just a few million times, it might get wear spots. what a piece of shit car!

tha fuck is aa eaieevolution

[johnnyo032003]

@naveed80 Even with AWD if you pop the clutch at 5k you should chirp the front tires because you should still get lift on the front, it takes a lot of power though, I dont think even a stock Evo has the power to do it, but GT-Rs can do it with ease. Of course GT-Rs launch control has so much power you void the warranty the minute you use it because you will blow your transmission with something like 4 or 5 LC launches.

[naveed80]

lol jump the front tires!!!!! he doesnt know it awd!!!! he's used to his honda :D

My evo sits in the garage. I only take it out for special things. I love it to death. I don't know what I would do with out her and fuck you to all who say evos suck. You just ain't a good driver.

@Joeysndvl Its funny because any stock AUTOMATIC evo can probably shit on your eclipse.

[chrisluvjh]

that stability control button looks cheap
